Glazed, jelly, or cake?

Cake, I think.

     Da clipped Duncan upside the ear.  "Little liar!  You know
perfectly well what you did!  Freak!"

Apple doesn't fall far, does it?

I'm afraid not.  It may or may not come up directly in the story, but
the end of Harry's school days involved some very bad times for
Dudley.

     "I'm not surprised you're defending him!  I'll bet I'm not

even

the boy's real father!  You had an affair with HIM, didn't you?!"

Now THAT'S *HARSH*.

Yes.

     And for some reason, Duncan was the only kid in his class

who

still hadn't quite got the hang of using a computer.  Files
disappeared at random, the settings would go wonky at his barest
touch, and often the sodding things wouldn't even turn on for him

in

the first place.

Wow, he must have insanely strong magic for a Muggleborn, for THAT
to
happen. Harry didn't even have THAT kind of trouble, and he's a
three-quarters AND the strongest wizard of his generation. o.o

Well, there are extenuating circumstances.  And Harry never went near
computers.

     Mum clucked in worry.  "You forgot, didn't you?  Thought you
might, so wrap this up yourself."  She handed Duncan a perfectly
dreadful-looking bile green tie.  Just the shade Da liked.

X.x;;

Yes, yes, I know, I'm being really mean to Dudley.

     By the time Duncan finished pouring the beer from its
biodegradable bulb

What's with all the randomly futuristic stuff, anyway? If this is
the same
Dudley from the HP books about fifteen to twenty years later, it'd
only be
around 2017-2022, given that Harry and Dudley would both be
seventeen in
1997. Given what we know about the ACTUAL rate at which this stuff
develops
(because we were all supposed to be driving flying space cars by
now), it
seems you're pushing the "ZOMGTEHFUTURE!" stuff a BIT hard.

Well, it's actually a bit longer than that, but I liked the idea that
the Muggle world finally started upgrading.  In *my* future HP-verse,
we've long since gone back to the Moon, and are well on the way to
Mars.

     The man in black turned to the boy and smiled.  "Well now,

I

realize it's been a good long time, Duncan, but don't you have

any

words of welcome for your dear old Uncle Draco?"

....okay, THAT I did not see coming.

Hee.

SKJAM!
