Chapter 1 of 1
mia madwynThe first fanfic that entered my head--before I even knew what fanfic was--upon reading the Epilogue.
ReviewedAN: As I was reading the end of Deathly Hallows, I grew breathless, literally breathless. I knew what was coming, knew in my heart, and it made my heart sing.
But... I was wrong.
Until today. Today, I decided to take matters into my own hands and make the final edit. I'm sure Jo won't mind.

Catching Harry's eye, Ron nodded covertly to a point some fifty yards away. The steam had thinned for a moment, and three people stood in sharp relief against the shifting mist.
"Look who it is."
A hulking man stood in the swirling mist, his wife huddled under his protective arm. But their giggling daughter seemed immune to their apprehension as she bounced around them, whipping her new wand about, her blond hair shining in the streak of sunbeam that seemed to dance with her.
Harry gasped, then grinned.
"Surprised?" Dudley smiled shyly and offered his hand.
"This is our Tuney."

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. :)
