Colin is one of those character not seem much in the movies as we only saw him in the Chamber of Secrets. The fact the boy loves taking photos makes you wonder why Heads of each house did not get him to take House photos, team photos and individual photo. He would have been the perfect student for that kind of job. He did go after Harry way too much even in this story yet we find him asking too takes some photo of the inter house practice and even find 3 Slytherin concern about the boy when he did not show back up. The way I see Colin is this all the has to do is ask to take the photo before go around with his camera snapping picture in students faces especially the snakes. Him being Muggleborn he does not know that its just rude to do things without asking, it seems before he got attacked he learned that asking is a better way to get someone to let him take a photo of them.

When is the sequel? could not stop reading such awesome plot and changing around the true story. I'm desperate to continue reading. You have great talent and should pursue writing novels. Please hurry up with the unanswered questions, Please.

First off enjoying the story. But that kind of punishment for a severe attack seems very tame. I guess chalk it to middle age thinking of wizards paddling being worst thing possible.

Yeah just seeing the word "Schadenfreude" made me think of a German saying "Schadenfreude ist die beste Freude" what means "malicious joy is the best joy"

I love this whole book, Dadleys slow but believable change of character and your twist on everything. It was amazing, I still hope for a sequel

Did I mention Dudley is psychopath

Dudley is psychotic , an absolute psychopath

I understand that it was mainly his upbringing but god Dudley is a horrible person and I despise his existence. He's vile and cruel I wont go as far to call him Evil, but I will be surprised if he doesn't join Voldemort. His parents are useless, Petunia has no one to blame for her choices, her and Vernon are cowards and they are evil for imparting such beliefs into a child and creating such a person.

I loved reading your story and would love to read more if you ever decide to make a sequel to this particular story.

Did you change this chapter? I read it awhile back, and I’m now reading it again, but it seems different. It’s good all the same. :)

Just curious, were you on purpose drawing parallels between James bullying Sevvy and Dudley bullying Harry?

A very good story. You should consider writing a follow up story telling of the summer after 2nd year and what happens in 3rd year. Maybe with Dudley being a much better person and getting along with Harry better. There is still Black out there who escapes and what will Aunt Marge say we she finds out about what Dudley can do.

amazingly goood and realistic Story. there are soo many ff where people, expecially childen are portraid aß the villains and are just stuck that way. to be honest i didnt expect anything else but you suprised me imensly. love the way you worked the healer into the story and how He and the staff started to help dudley. Sadly i think you rushed the end of the Story quite badly, maybe you could AT one point or other maybe read over the last chapter and attempt make IT ab Bit longer, deeper. Neverthless i will definetly check out the sequel.
thanks again

Wow, I am so impressed with the depth you put into this story! So, well done. I hope you wrote a sequel. : )

Make that the millennia.
