Merlin's codpiece, but I enjoyed this. The boxing connections makes excellent sense for Dudley and the centaurs (whom you've characterized very well). Like all good Beholder stories, this one takes an initially unlikely pairing and renders it not only believable, but almost inevitable. I liked the banter and relationship between Harry and Dudley, too (that moment of Big D flipping off Harry for the "Diddikins" is a wonderful way to show their ease and comfort with each other; shows how far they have come). The boxing lore is interesting fun as well. Thanks!
