Dudley wrote to Harry the first day his son was born.
Dear Harry,
Hello.
It's Dudley. I hope you and Luna (*A/N: No Ginny and Harry. None.) are doing well.
I heard your first son was born today - - - James Sirius, was it?I'm sorry. . .for everything. For tormenting you.
For hurting you.
For not believing you.
For tattling on you.
I feel so bad about everything.
You didn't attend my wedding.
Nor did I attend yours.
I wish we could go back in time. . .
. . .maybe with a time turner?Love,
Dudley
~Dear Dudley,
It's okay. I was dumb too.I forgive you.
About that time turner thing. . .
. . .you have no idea how right you are.
So, how is life?Harry
Dear Harry,
Good. I'm married to a. . .muggle like myself. She's named Anna.
She's outstanding.
I have two kids - - - Peter Vernon and Harry James.
Harry.
Harry.
We have a third one on the way - - -a girl.
Her first name is going to be Petunia, but any other ideas?Thanks,
Dudley
Dear Dudley,
Three.
Hermione. She was the smartest - - - witch - - -in my year at school. She never gave up, even when times were hard.
Luna. She is eccentric, unique, and beautiful. I am lucky to say she is my wife. (*A/N: I hate Ginny and Harry, sorry! More of a crush to me than true love.)
Ginny. She is brave, independent, and just a bit dangerous. The perfect combination.
Your welcome,
Harry
~Dear Harry,
She was born!
We named her Ginny Petunia.
Maybe Petunia doesn't have to be a first name after all.
She has a twin, too - - -
Luanne Lily.
I wish I knew your mum, Harry.
In Regards,
Dudley
~Dear Dudley,
Congratulations!
Best wishes from me and Luna.
Luna said: "Twins are the best sort of children. I want twins, Harry. Remember Fred and George, Harry? We should write them, Harry."She wishes you best regards.
Love,
Harry
~Dear Harry,
Love.
Dudley.
~Afterward:
Dudley's last letter was sent from the hospital.
He died of a heart attack on April 7th, just six days after his twin daughters - - - Ginny Petunia and Luanne Lily - - -were born.
April Fool's Day. Twins.
Hopefully one won't be lost this time.
