Aw Tiny! That opening line!


And then reality settles in with the morning sickness. But I love how helpful Dudley is. He’s such a good boi. Also, I love how he differs from his parents and is not TOTALLY freaked out by all the magical stuff. I mean, him holding the wand at arms length suggests that he still holds onto the fear of it a bit from his childhood. But he’s growing. And I am totally here for said growth.


I absolutely love that Dudley is the cleaner, more organized one out of the two of them. Totally tracks with him being Petunia’s kid hah. 


Wow, I never considered the challenges that would come from having a kid with one magical and one muggle parent. I think you really do a great job of showing us this in a realistic way. They’re different, they’re going to have disagreements, but it seems like they are both open enough to trying to understand where the other person is coming from. 


I really appreciate your version of this super healthy relationship. (: And I suspect that Dudley learning more about Harry through Cho might also help heal that relationship as well.


That ending was adorable and hilarious with him questioning the pictures and if they could see them LOL. Tiny this is seriously so amazing!

cho is so damn funny how can she be so funny while she is projectile vomiting in the bathroom it's almost unfair but i love her so much. 'more like something we did at the wedding' is fucking brilliant

and dudley is being so caring, it's freaking weird in a good way and she's teasing him all the time i can't get enough of that because they seem so easy with each other it's amazing

FLOORDEROBE !!!!

also they both really majorly suck at making up a plan and sticking to it but omg do i love that they're terrible at planning

AUDITION???!!!! AND OH YOU DEFINITELY PASSED OH COME ON CHO AND SHE'S CALLING HIM DURSLEY I JUST CAN'T GET OVER HOW UTTERLY GREAT THIS FIC IS AND THESE TWO TOGETHER I'VE ALREADY DIED A COUPLE OF TIMES WHILE READING IT AND IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN

AND OH DUDLEY AND I FORGOT HOW MANY FUN THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW GOD DAMN IT CHO IS LIKE THE BEST CHARACTER OUT THERE I LOVE THE WAY YOU'RE WRITING HER

and lololol i really laughed hard at the 'cho definitely doesn't have a cleaner'

he tidied up

he's a house husband/boyfriend-adjacent it's amazing

oh but also no no no stop arguing stop it

(though legit, dudley is right, it's very difficult to live in such a mess that you have to use a summoning charm all the time and some people including dudley and future baby can't)

dudley dursley, an honorary wizard

i can't believe i just wrote the above phrase but i did and it's ???weirdly amazing

i don't have words for how much i love this fic okay

(for foxy glory!)



Author's Response:

Speaking as a pretty messy person a) messy person rights for cho and b) dudley is totally right. But also I wish I could find things with a summoning charm! Sorry you have died several deaths but I'm glad you're enjoying these two trashfires slowly combining into one steadily burning trashfire :) thank you so much for the review!

Hello again! I'm back to leave another review for Team Frost Kittens. 

 

Why do I love your version of Dudley so much?!?!? Oddly enough, he reminds me of an adult Neville because I can imagine him in a similar situation and reacting teh same way. It's also so odd not to see Dudley as a spoiled self-centered brat like we do in the books. (ahh the beauty of fanfiction) 

 

He seems to be so accepting of this new(ish) world that he has been thrust into and it's such a different side of him that I wish he would have been like this in the books. I also want to see more of his developing relationship with Harry because I'm sure that is going to be so layered that it's going to be interesting to see how you tackle it. 

 

I love your writing style and the descriptions you use. It's wonderfully refreshing to read a story that goes deeper than what I usually gravitate towards. The awkardness between Cho and Dudley is so endearing that I'm going to be sad to see it end. 

 

One again you did an excellent job and I want more!!!

 

Peace, Love, and Tacos

 

Tasha



Author's Response:

I can see your comparison between adult Dudley and adult Neville!  I don't think they ever interact in this fic - I think they will in the sequel.  If it's not in my outline now, I'll make sure they do because I love that parallel!

Thanks so much for the review :)
