A/N: If I had a witty summary for this story, I would give it to you.  The most I can say is it's about healing, redemption and Dudley.

It's definitely not crap.

I'll be around on Skype if you want to chat through some things I think could be tweaked. If you'd rather I sod off, feel free to ignore me.

I was answering this a few days ago when our power went out... and stayed out all night from 63mph wind gusts!

So? What needs tweaked?

I like it! (Only throttling is strangling, so you can't throttle with a fryin pan to the head ... :P ) I see some of the epithets we discussed have a starring role :D

Now - I expect regular progress reports from you, missy!

[gbtso]

I know you do. I will try to do a better job of doing my job. :P

This is not crap at all - it's some of the most honest and realistic bits of conversation between characters I've read in a long time. I could totally see Elizabeth talking to Dudley and Ginny ranting in front of Harry - right down the the color of the sofa cushions in each room.

And Kreacher is just great. A know-it-all that you can't help but love.

*tears*

I think that's one of the best comments I've ever had. I don't even know what to say from here.

*goes for tissues*

Yes, yes... Damn those Dursleys. You're not finished with them. Trust me on that.

By the end of this, lots of therapeutic things happen. As long as everyone plays nice and cooperates with the whole letting me know what's going on in their heads thing, so I can write it. :P

I'm glad you enjoyed it so far!

I'm really excited to see that this story is being continued. *sqeals* I had always wanted a good Dudley story with him having a magical child, and then I thought you had dropped it. Thanks so much for posting this and making my day!

Oh, not crap. Please keep going with this. :)

[gbtso]

I never intended to abandon this. Life just... let's just say life just derailed it.

My own guilty conscience would not let it rest.

And I'm glad I made your day. Seriously.
