It was a quiet evening. Cho was sitting on one of many boxes which were scattered around the floor while her husband was unloading the remaining stuff from the truck. Cho could easily levitate these boxes but her husband won't be impressed. She was warned by her grandmother that once she marries a muggle. She has to say goodbye to her wand. Though marrying her husband wasn't easy in the first place since she hails from family of chi wizards, who never married muggles while her in-laws were crazy, stubborn, magic-hating fools,
"Àirèn, are you feeling alright?" Dudley asked scratching his blonde hair as he stared at Cho who had a staring smile on her face. Cho blushed hearing Dudley say Chinese words still made her blush though she was the one who taught him those words.
"Yes, I'm perfectly fine dear" Cho assured.
The newlyweds were in each other's arms when an owl flew in with a letter attached to its leg. Cho recognises it as ministry owl. She gently unites the letter and started to read
To Mrs Cho Dursley
We're glad to inform you that due to many policies changes under the rule of Minister Kingsley Shacklebolt. Witches who married muggle can work in ministry with their husband's consent. Talking about your husband, we did a little bloodline research and we found that your husband Dudley Dursley and his mother Petunia Dursley (nee Evans) are in fact squibs. Because of the new policies you can apply for the ministry job also with new Give squib a chance policy your husband can find non-magic related jobs in wizarding society
I know I could tell you this informally, but I thought to send a formal letter would be more dramatic. See you in ministry this Monday

After reading the letter Cho was open-mouthed while Dudley was confused. He looked at Cho who was opening and closing her mouth like a fish-
"it's Hermione that bushy-haired girl who is friends with Harry? And what does squib mean?" Dudley asked confused he didn't notice his wife flinching at Harry's name.
"Uh, Squib is a person who is born to magical parents. Since your aunt was witch your mother has some magical blood too. But she can't perform magic. And you're a squib too Dudley" Cho explained. She doesn't know how Dudley would take it. Since he hated magic all his life.
"Y-you mean I-I have magical blood too, l-like Harry?" Dudley stuttered. All his life he had bullied Harry, called him a freak. But now he knew he was a freak too.
"Dudley, honey I know it's too much to take in but it'll be okay" Cho assured. Dudley just shook his head. He turned around and started to leave.
"Dudley, where are you going?" Cho asked uncertainly.
"To call Harry" was Dudley's reply
