Hey y'all here is the next chapter! I hope y'all enjoy it! Congrats to nikkiRiddle for figuring it out!
Just for the clarification to those who are confused I'm somewhat mixing movie with book. So, the Dudley in my story is the book Dudley. This Dudley has been working out and is skinnyish.

Harry and Ginny looked shocked at the man that was standing next to Dudley. They couldn't believe that Dudley and he were together. "Charlie?" Smirking at the looks on their faces Charlie Weasley just grinned at his baby sister and her boyfriend, "Hey sis, hey harry. How are you guys?" Ignoring her brother Ginny turned to face Dudley, "You're dating my brother?" Nodding his head weary of her tone Dudley answered her question, "Yes I am." Nodding her head she walked over to the two men and looked Dudley in the eyes, "I'm going to tell this to you one time, so you better listen. Break my brother's heart I break you. I don't care that you are Harry's cousin, I will end you." Rolling his eyes Charlie gave his sister a look as she walked back over to Harry, "Really Gin?" Shrugging innocently, she turned and sat back down at the table that they had been occupying before and gestured for the others to sit, "What Charlie? I got to look out for my brother."
Sitting down next to his sister Charlie just rolled his eyes. Still standing Harry looked towards Dudley to see he still looked very confused. Clapping him on the shoulder Harry laughed quietly at the look on his face, "Just roll with it Dud. That's how the Weasley family is. They're all protective of each other and each can hold their own in a fight." The two cousins walked towards the table before sitting with their respective partners. Grinning at the couple in front of him, Harry took Ginny's hand, "So how did you two meet?" Blushing slightly at his cousin Dudley grinned, "You remember that conference I went to two years ago? The one in Bucharest?" (the capital of Romania) Nodding his head and looking slightly confused as to why that was relevant, "Yeah so?" Laughing quietly at his sister's boyfriend Charlie cleared the confusion for the young man, "Bucharest is the capital of Romania Harry." Harry nodded finally understanding why he was supposed to remember the conference. "So, you two met during the conference?" Shaking his Dudley smiled at his cousin, "No. We met at a café during a lunch break from the conference. We were both heading in and we accidentally ran into each other. Charlie being the flirt that he is, starting flirting and insisted he buy me lunch. I agreed, and we started talking. It was a couple of days of talking that we realized that we both knew you Harry."
Furrowing his brows confused, Harry looked at his cousin, "How did I come up in conversation?" Smiling softly, it was Charlie that answered, "We started talking about our families, and I mentioned that I had six biological siblings, and some that aren't biological. He asked what I meant, and I told him that my mum had practically adopted my little brother Ron's two best friends." Nodding along with his lover's statement Dudley took over, "That's when I remembered that disastrous phone call from your best friend Ron, I also remembered the ginger haired twins from when we were fourteen that caused my tongue to lengthen. So, I asked if his last name was Weasley and he looked at me very confused because I had guessed right. I told him that my cousin's name was Harry Potter. He was very surprised." Nodding his head, the red-haired man agreed with him, "I was very surprised and confused, I always heard bad things about him from Ron and then the man I was talking to was different. We continued talking and we never really stopped."
Their conversation was interrupted by a shout of, "Dudley! That you?" Turning towards the sound the quartet saw a rat looking man walking towards them with a smile on his face. Standing Dudley turned towards the man, "Piers! It's good to see you." Giving each a man hug they separate and a woman approaches the group, "Piers there you are. Dudley is that you?" Looking at the woman Dudley took a moment to recognize her, even with the name tag, "Heather, how nice to see you again. You and Piers still together?" Nodding the rat man grabbed Heather's hand, "Yeah married for about a year now." Looking slightly over Dudley's shoulder Piers noticed Ginny and completely ignored Harry and Charlie. Moving around the man he walked over to Ginny and stuck out his hand, "Hi, I'm Piers Polkiss. I'm guessing you're Dudley girlfriend?" Shaking his head at his friend, Dudley walked over to the pair, "No Piers, she is not my girlfriend. She's my cousin's girlfriend, her name is Ginny. This over here is Charlie he is my boyfriend." Looking at Dudley shocked, Piers uttered one word, "Boyfriend?"
I was going to end it here, but thought that was rude
Nodding his head Dudley confirmed Piers' question, "Yes boyfriend, for about a year and a half now." Looking at him for a minute Piers quickly took his wife's hand and walked away. Sighing Dudley plopped down into his chair and put his head in his hands, "That could have gone better." Nodding her head, Ginny placed her hand on his shoulder, "Yes it could have but think about it Dudley, from what Harry and you have told me about him over the years and from what I've seen from that quick interaction, he looks to be the same person. Do you really want that back in your life?" Looking up at his lover's sister, he nodded in agreement to her question, "I guess you're right. I've created a good life, I mean I'm healthier than I was when I was a kid, I like to think I'm a nicer person, and I've been able to make up with Harry, which I honestly did not see happening. I thought that I had done too much damage over the years." Harry reached across the table to get his cousin's attention, "Dud, I saw that you had changed before I left. The tea you left out in the hall at first, I thought you left it for me to step on, but I realized that you didn't. Just you dating Charlie is a sign that you're different than you used to be. Speaking of the past, how has Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia taken the news that you're gay?"
