Chapter 2: Dreaded Reunion

Dudley was wearing his best suit and tie for the unpleasant occasion of reuniting with his cousin as it had been nearly 10 years since they had last seen each other. He and his parents had been evacuated from Privet Drive by an eccentric couple named Hestia Jones and Dedalus Diggle. That was when Dudley had announced to Harry that he had saved his life when the dementors had attacked the cousins in Wisteria Walk.

Dudley had never forgotten that day. Looking back, it seemed a rather embarrassing subject to remember as when he said goodbye to Harry, the selfish, ignorant bully-boy Dudley had vanished and a thankful and nervous boy had spoken to his cousin."You saved my life..."

Dudley gazed through the newly polished window of the kitchen, bringing back depressing images of his childhood back in Little Whinging, he suddenly realised that he had five minutes until he had to depart from his house with Donovan to meet Harry and his children at Kings Cross station.

They clambered out of the new company car and stepped their slightly chubby feet on the walkway surrounding the train station.

There he was.

There was his messy, jet black hair. There were his emerald green eyes glinting in the spring-time sun. There was his lightening scar, the remnants of his horrific attack when he was only 1 years old.

Harry James Potter was resting against the wall of Kings Cross Station with three youngsters that all had equally similar eyes to him although, the young girl had bright red hair, this reminded Dudley of that wizard boy that was friends with Harry at Hogwarts.

"Oi Oi Big D !" Shouted Harry from across the square.

Dudley and Donovan trudged over to the four magicians who were waiting expectantly for Dudley to say something in return.

"Err... hi " Replied Dudley in a near whisper. He was surrounded by magical folk and had no idea of what to do.

Lets go inside and show you the platform !" Chorused the four Potters excitedley. Harry was overjoyed by the fact that he finally had control over his enormous brute of a cousin.

The group entered Kings Cross Station and walked towards a column that stood between platforms 9 and 10.

"Welcome" Said Harry, "To the entrance to the magical world!"
