Just a little insight to Dudley after the war!

"Oh Duddydums, you look so cute!"

Dudley rolled his eyes at his mother's cooing. Honestly, Dudley didn't want to go. He had no idea who this girl was. He couldn't believe that his father had agreed to his mother setting him up on a blind date. He was nineteen for whatever higher powers sake.

Dudley Dursley had changed a lot over the years. He had started exercising and eating well so now he was fit and thin. He could easily get girls; it was just that his mother didn't like the girls he dated. Party girls; girls that like cars, basically girls that had a sense of life.

This girl though, was most likely the perfect girl for him, in his mother's eyes only.

He was right!

He walked into the extravagant restaurant and spotted his date straight away. His mother had told him that his date would be wearing a flowery, lemon yellow dress.

Rolling his eyes, Dudley walked over to the two person table and took a seat. The girl smiled kindly at him and looked over his suited form with appreciation. The girl had brown hair, brown eyes, poised lips, a long neck and thin eyebrows. She looked somewhat familiar but Dudley couldn't pick where he had seen her.

"Hello, I'm Augustine Corey," the girl said in a girly voice. She held out her hand, expecting Dudley to kiss in.

Instead he grasped it shortly before letting it go. "Dudley." This is going to be interesting. Dudley thought, watching the girl look at the menu with a disapproving, judgmental eye.

Augustine was very picky with what she ate. She wanted her chicken parmesan cooked a certain way, her salad not tossed but have the lettuce on the bottom, then cucumber, cheese and small non-cut tomatoes on top. She ate slowly too, scrutinizing every bite.

After dinner they went to see a movie. It was his mother who had insisted he take her to a romance even though he hated them.

The whole time they were in the concession stand she was telling him how inefficient the service was and was telling him of ways she knew they could improve it. He was slowly starting to realize why she looked familiar but he wasn't completely sure just yet.

During the whole movie, all she did was criticize it. The dialogue was unbelievable, the female character was fooling herself by believing she could get around without a man and the male character's shirt was too tight even though he was working on a farm and that was the necessary clothing for hot weather.

He had had enough, and he had worked out what was familiar.

"Augustine, this isn't working out," Dudley told her at her front door.

"Why not Duddlydums?" Augustine asked sadly.

Dudley cringed. Why hadn't I noticed this before? He decided to be straightforward to her. "I like party girls, girls that keep me on my feet, girls that piss off my parents. You're not that. You're my mother!"
