Oh my! As the others have said this was quite believable, very real. And how you made it so hot I have no idea. *G* I love that you expanded on Dudley's change of heart in DH, and throwing in little mentions of magic was perfect. Even thought Piers didn't get it, we did, and it was lovely treat for us. The Dark Lord of Romance? *giggles* Well done with this often difficult pairing. Nice job. :)
