Wonderful. This is actually very refreshing to read - a whole new perspective and a very believable turnaround for Dudley. I'm starting to admire him! *gasp* I'm still impressed with how well you keep us hooked with no dialogue at all! Well done. |

This story is very intriguing--although your development of Dudley was very rapid, nevertheless, it was done in a really believable manner. It's very interesting that he would find psychology a fascinating subject--but it serves him well by showing him how really wretched his family was to Harry. I liked your descriptions of the grown-up Harry and Ginny (brief, but you could defintely tell that it was her). I do hope they'll meet up--I'm dying to see the reactions and possibly a reconciliation? Anyway--looking forward to the next installment.
Always, Margaret |

Dudley is becoming human? What a wonderful thing! I am glad that you have dared to take on so difficult a task, and I am truly enjoying your story. The only additional problem you have (beyond the strains of coming up with the story in the first place) is that now your readers will be pestering you for more...
Please? Don't stop now?
Thank you for your story! |

Well the plot thickens. I like the fact you have gone for a different charactor, very brave. As usuall you have done a fantastic job. Well done. The only thing for me to do know is wait for the next chap. |

wow, this was brilliant. I wasn't sure about it when i read the first
chapter. I normally only read H/G fic's, but i finished the first
chapter of anyway, because it was so well written. Now this chapter is
even better, not only was it well writen, but you managed to capture
the new happy Harry, without him speaking. You described him and ( i
take it it's ginny, unless it's some plot to make us think it is, but
it's actually somene else,) Ginny really well, you could really imagine
the happiness and love radiating off them.
You're writing style is brilliant, Please keep up the excellent work, i can't wait to read more.

Another terrific chapter. I love the maturing changes in Dudley and how he's making the effort to be his own man rather than become a copy of his parents. The fact that he chose psychology as his second major subject intrigues me and has me wondering where Dudley will go with this life after his three years are up. Finally, I'm actually happy that Harry and Ginny managed to only be observed by Dudley this first time: he now has an image of Harry to contemplate during the boring hours in his office and I hope whatever conclusion he comes up with will result in an amicable encounter for both young men. I look forward to Chapter 3 with bated breath. |

I truly believe that Petunia and Vernon will never be nice to anyone - they are truly set in their ways. But I love redeemable!Dudley. Your writing style is excellent, and it is capturing Dudley's transition from a bully to a human perfectly. Look forward to the next update.

Is it odd that what struck me the most (out of another terrific chapter) was this? "he looked back up after quickly checking to make sure that the person behind him was all right" That sentence there converyed everything about Dudley that you've been saying, and you did it in one line. As they say, brevity is the soul of wit! Well done!

I'm enjoying this fic so far. Too bad Dudders didn't catch up with them. I'm not sure what he could really say, but it says something about how much he's changed that he'd try and search Harry out and apologize for his family. |

You've got me interested.

This story is just getting better. This is great writing, and I can't wait to see what happens with Duddley, and Dudley and Harry. It's kind of nice to see one of the Dursely's finally having some emotional growth, and I like the possibility of some reconciliation between Harry and a Dursely. Keep up the awesome work and update soon! :) |

Yay, another great installment! I really love the way you've had Dudley turn out, once again, and I absolutely adore the new Harry with his Ginny. I hope Dudley and Harry become friends - I can't wait to see what happens! Keep it coming!

Wonderful chapter. I certainly do hope that Harry and Dudley will meet up again. I'm glad to see Dudley standing up to his parents about going to grad school. I can't wait for the next chapter
