this so should have happened

as of today, my personal canon

I wish this had happened in the book, it would have been amazing.

LOL. Cute. :)

Loooovveeee it!  Thanks for letting us in on the rewrite.

I love it! Makes me smile!

Naw, how sweet :-)

Perfect!  (I hope Vernon wasn't around when the owl arrived with little Tuney's letter.  Grandpa's conniption fit might have been hard to explain . . . ).

I think my final edit would involve Severus somehow living happily ever after I just couldn't believe... but you know. :) This, however, is brilliant and fills my (not very often fulfilled by the way) hunger for Dudley Grows Up tales -- you know, the ones where he gets over being the schoolyard bully. Thanks Mia!

Perfect.....

Niiice! I like that ending a lot better than JKR's. I've seen variations on this theme at different archives so I think others do as well. ^_^

My first fanfic (on FFN) runs along very similar lines.  I love the premise, and I like the way you've presented it here.  As you say, Ron and Harry were surprised, but we readers probably aren't.  Fun!

Oh yes! *squee* I would have love for the book to end like that.

Perfect! Absolutely perfect! :)

It would so be in there if she had had the wit to think of it.

Yes this is a surprise.  Good job.

*grins*  That would have been a lovely addition, indeed.

Ah. lovely!

Love it! I think Jo meant to write that. :)
