Darling, this is a great bit of writing! First, because it made me care about Dudley. His devotion to his mum was very sweet and made him quite human. And second because it's got just the right amounts of suspense and humour. I bet you can guess which bit was my favourite: Theo. :) His attitude to Manchester made me giggle at first, but then when he revealed that Manchester was partly at the root of Petunia's problem, it all made perfect sense. Plus he's just so snarky and brilliant and utterly Theo. *happy sigh*

Great work. ;)

Thanks! I'm so glad this turned out as well as it did, because it was a real challenge for me. Of course I knew Theo would be your favorite part, but once again it just sort of works to have him here.
