Prologue:
It was a sunny, warm May afternoon. Dudley Dursley was immersed in a stack of papers on his desk. He had become an associate in his father's drill making company, and, overall, he was happy with his life.
However, Dudley was also very busy, so he was initially annoyed when he heard the loud tapping noise. At first, he was slightly bewildered as to the source of the sound. It didn't sound wooden, so he highly doubted it could be coming from his door. Furthermore, his desk was on the 11th floor, so it certainly couldn't be from his window.
Or could it?
Dudley slowly spun around in his plush desk chair. Many people would have been shocked to see the magnificent snowy owl that was banging on Dudley's window. But Dudley knew precisely the mission this exotic creature was on. What he did not know was who on earth would be contacting him by owl post?
Hoping no one was watching, Dudley opened his window and removed the screen, allowing the bird to fly into his office.
"Er…Hi," Dudley muttered. Having never received any mail in this form, he was unsure exactly what to do next.
The owl almost seemed to sigh in annoyance, and shook its leg impatiently at Dudley.
"Oh!" Dudley said spying the bit of parchment tied to the animal's leg.
He collected his letter, unrolled it, and began to read out loud to no one in particular.
"You are cordially invited to witness the union of Mr. Harry James Potter and Ms. Ginerva Molly Weasley!"
Dudley paused for a moment and read on, making note of the date and time for this ceremony.
"Blimey! Harry's getting married and he wants me to come," thought Dudley, sinking back into his chair. He was lost in thought for a moment, until a sharp peck on his hand demanded his attention.
"You're still here?" he said to the owl. "What do you want?"
The bird pecked at a small RSVP card that had fallen out of the invitation.
Dudley smiled. "You little buggers are smarter than you look, aren't you" he said to his feathered companion, reaching for a pen on his desk. Dudley hesitated for but a moment, then checked the "yes" box. He tied the card to the owl's leg, and the bird took off again, flying out of the window and into the sky.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world, mate," Dudley muttered sincerely, marking the date on his calendar.

This is a story of how events, so simple as the ones outlined above might seem, can change a life forever. It is a story of how completely love can consume us, of how quickly love can transform us, and of the great magic love can show us. It is the story of Dudley Dursley, and the very special witch who innocently entered his world and showed him how beautiful life can be.

A/N- OK, I realize this probably sounds very dull and cliché so far. But stay tuned, because in the next chapter, Dudley shares his extraordinary tale with all of us.
