Hiya! Well first off, WOW! I can't believe the positive response I got for that first chapter! Yes, I know, I forgot to put this "author's note" in at the beginning and end, bad teaspoon. But I won't forget this time!
Thanks to HallowRain8587 and Shelby Hermione Malfoy for the reviews, it means a lot. A very special thank you to my best friend on here and in real life, epitomeoffangirls (if you aren't reading Notes of Survival then you need to, right now) for the feedback and for being my beta.
Hope you enjoy!
Dudley was speechless. He didn't know quite what surprised him the most. The fact that Harry and he had both been with the same girl, Cho was a witch or that she'd thought he wouldn't still love her when she turned out to be a witch! He wasn't even that annoyed, of course she'd kept it from him, Dudley didn't know about Harry until he was 11.
He couldn't shake the feeling that he needed help. He was a Dursley, brought up to hate everything that wasn't just so. He had next to no idea about the wizarding world and needed help to understand. Oddly enough, Dudley didn't think that Waterstone's would have a book called "Understanding Your Witch Girlfriend – for Dummies." He needed help and he knew only one person who could help.
Dear Harry,
I know, I haven't talked to you since we parted ways. Mum and Dad have moved to America, Grunnings is expanding and they wanted a "quiet life." I'm alright about it, I'm not Ickle Diddykins anymore, thank goodness.
I wouldn't be surprised if you won't help me, I treated you like crap for years, but you're the only person I can turn to in this situation. You see, I've met this girl. I love her, and she told me yesterday that she's a witch, Cho Chang. I know that you know her, apparently the highlight of your fifth year wasn't the dementor attack. Thank you again, you know, for saving my soul.
Cho said she'll let me borrow her owl, Cedric, to send this to you. She thinks I'm sending a letter because I was thinking about how much I miss you. I know I don't deserve help but please, I need to know about the wizarding world.
For a start I need these questions answered, even if you won't answer any more.
Is she going to get in trouble for telling me?
Will I be allowed to go to wizarding areas with her? (like that street where you went with the giant man)
How many wizards are there?
Is anyone else I know a wizard?
How does magic work?
Take your time but please think about it.
Yours,
Dudley
It took him a long time to decide exactly how to say everything that he wanted to say but eventually, Dudley had finished his letter. Cedric was quite a charming owl and stood very still until Cho was finished tying the letter to him. It was only once he'd left that Dudley remembered where Cedric's name came from.
"Cedric, that boy that Harry used to have nightmares about. I used to tease him about it and say that he was his boyfriend" Dudley said to Cho, "Something horrible happened to him, didn't it?"
Cho looked like she was going to cry and said, "He was killed by Voldemort in my fifth year, Harry's fourth. Harry did everything he could to save him, but Voldemort was too good. My owl's named after him because….." she trailed off, looking embarrassed.
"How many boyfriends did you have at Hogwarts?" said Dudley, jokingly.
Thanks for reading it! I promise I'll post the next chapter soon! Please favourite/follow and review, it really helps me to improve! LOVE YOU LOTS LIKE JELLY TOTS ~ theemotionalrangeofateaspoon xx
