Harry was a bit curious what Dudley wanted with him, he would never have dreamed that any of the Dursleys would be likely to contact him and the fact that spoiled old Dudley would be wanting to talk with him was very surprising.

As he apparated to the old house in Privet Drive he was surprised to see the garden unkempt and the house looking shabby, even more surprising what the sight as the door opened. "Hiya Harry, thanks for coming" said the burly and musclular young man that confronted Harry "Dudley is that you" Harry said disbelieving.

"Yeah, it`s me, I`ve changed some since age 10?" said Dudley smiling at Harry

"You`re freaking enormous, but in a good way. When did you get so muscular"? Harry asked forgetting his manners.

"I started boxing as a hobby when I was thirteen or fourteen. The school nurse recommended it to combat my weight, and it worked a charm. Now I `m working as boxer and I want to own my own Gym one day"

"`Wow" answered Harry dazed "what about aunt Petunia and uncle Vernon, they must be proud"?

Dudley looked saddened "They died when I was fifteen, I wondered that I didn`t hear from you when I sent a message about that, but I now understand that you changed your name back when you were 10. My message mustn`t have reached you because of that. i\m just glad this message reached you, even if I had to go through your school to get it to you"

"I`m sorry for your loss" Harry said

"Thank you, it is some time ago but I still get sad about it sometimes. They weren`t good to you, but still they were my parents. Actually that is one of the reasons why I asked for you to come, it is late I know to ask for forgiveness but I wanted to tell you I am sorry for how we all treated you."

"Thank you" Harry said surprised

Dudley smiled at him and said "I was hoping you might want to get to know each other as adult people, and I wanted you to meet my formally meet fiancée, whom I`m sure you know already." As he said this he ushered Harry into the living-room where to Harry`s surprise Susan Bones was waiting for them. "Hi Harry, I didn`t know until now that Dudley was your cousin. this is a bit of a surprise.

"You and Sue" Harry said to Dudley "how did this happen", "Well we met at one of my fights, and I didn`t know she was a witch for the longest time. One for the books, huh? Me and a witch, dad would have gone ballistic."

"You like boxing Sue"? Harry asked his school friend surprised

"My best friends boyfriend liked boxing and dragged us to some fights" Sue said smiling lovingly at Dudley "I fell for Dudley the moment I saw him, and struck up a conversation after his fight had ended."

"I lost the fight and won the girl" Dudley said laughing happily

As Harry left Privet drive he thought about the two happy lovers he`d left, and also about his own lacking love life. Weird coincidence that he`d chosen this day to declare himself to the person of his dreams. As he apparated to the retaurant they had arranged to meet in Harry drew a deep breath to steady himself "here I go, I hope I don`t babble too much now"

"Harrison, good to see you" said the person that was sitting by a table waiting for Harry to arrive.

Drake, thank you for waiting. My cousin had much to talk about, and I couldn`t get away until now"

"Not a bother, Harrison. What was it you wanted to talk to me about"?

"I don`t know how to say this, so I`m just jumping into this. I`m very attracted to you, and I`ve wanted to see if you could feel the same, but I dared not until we were finished with school".

Draco started laughing and had difficulties in stopping, Harry was just about to leave, feeling heartbroken as Draco finally managed to get a hold of himself.

"It`s just so ironic, I think I`ve been in love with you since the day I first saw you, and here you are saying you`re into me too."

"You.. love me…" Harry said breathless

"Yes, but I must admit something, I`m part veela and you`re also my mate. I know some might find that off-putting".

Harry just shook his head "momma Jen is dad`s mate, or rather the opposite way round. I never saw that this was a problem for them. I don`t mind if I am your mate, I just want to see if this attraction could lead to more."

"I hope it can" Draco said taking Harryˋs hand in his.

Note to chapter: Harry is still staying anonymous to most people, I don`t think Dudley has told Sue his cousin is Harry Potter and so she knows him as Harry Prince from school. Draco calls Harry `Harrison`in public because he wants to.. :)
