What a sweet story! I really like postwar Dudley stories where he's grown up and made some kind of overture toward Harry. This is a fun set of twists, where first Dudley seems remarkably comfortable with the magical world, and then we find out he's been taking the Prophet -- and then we find out about Lindsey!

I would have loved to see Vernon's face myself when Dudley announced that news, heh.

The sweet moments between Harry and Ginny are so nice, too. I particularly like the image of them together in Ginny's childhood room.

Thank you! I've always wanted to know how Harry and Dudley take that initial step towards reconnecting, and I hope that Jo will eventually tell us.

I love the post-DH stories with Dudley growing up and reconciling with Harry, and I like the Dudley/any witch pairing even more! Brilliant!

Thank you!

Well done. You have written a very plausible story of what happened to the Dursleys after the war. I always wondered if Dudley was the one JKR mentioned that would come to magic late.

I like to imagine that he ends up with a Magical child. I'm sure it's a concept that's been done to death, but I might have to tackle it at some point.
