However nice this may be, Vernon doesn't deserve this - after all the punishment should fit the crime.

(If he had been laundering money then, perhaps, sacking him would of course (though not in the way this occured - and of course Mr. Dursley wouldn't neccessarily behave in this manner (having to behave correctly and conscientiously - mindful of others)), would be the avowed punishment.)

Thus, logically, he should be forced to undergo magical synthesis (in other words a "magical cultural induction") until he loses the prejudice - after whether or not Harry is a child or not - it is Magic that is the problem here (and here the responsibility also falls on Petunia's parents for not making absolute that both girls were equally cherished - or some other nonsequential thing...)


Never mind, in other words, quite an aggressive style piece - definitely not canonical but sub-conscious perhaps? After a few sessions with "Flight of Death" perhaps an ID-ian reaction... maybe, who knows...


That's what fanfiction is for--after all!

Ah, the universe has been restored to its rightful orientation ... with Hermione as Harry's girlfriend. Thank you! :-)

Along those lines - "I'm going to kiss you silly once we're out of here' - heh. Good one.

Good dream ... they've all been good, so far, haven't they? I do hope Harry isn't going to record any of his nightmares!

You're welcome :)

As far as the nightmares: Not planning on anything (this whole series of ficlets IS under the humor category), but the muse may drag me that direction sooner or later.   No promises.

Ha. That's even more satisfying that the other version. Thanks for the great way to wake up this morning.

Very Nice! I love the Harry outmanuvers Vernon on his 'own turf'.

This chapter was a fun read. Nice to see Remus and Hermione getting involved. It was a nice touch to twist Dursley's stated opinions around on himself.

Gorgeous!
Ummm...wasn't it Tonks playing secretary last time?

Crys replied:

In the Scion chapter, yes it was.

Decided to change things a little for this version.

Oh wow...having trouble breathing here, I'm laughing so hard. Really, really nice work with this "alternate" version. I especially loved Harry dropping the glamour briefly.

Liked it!

Stands, politely claps, raises both hands in the classic victory gesture, and dances a jig on Vernon Dursley's grave.

Bravo.

This was pretty good, I would have like to see that in SOG. It would have been so fitting.

Now this is the Vernon Dursely we all love to loathe.

This was brilliant!
I love how you've kept all your drabbles together like this!

curalium lacrimo posted a comment on Thursday 30th November 2006 8:54am

that was brilliant, pity you couldnt make it into an actual story!

hahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahaha.

*ahem* Sorry, got carried away and couldn't help myself, there. ;) I'm better now. Although I'd better lose the funny grin all over my face. :) hahahhaa. Thanks for sharing. ;) I like that much better than the one that made it into the story (although that one had the bonus of enveloping the other Dursleys as well). hehehe, thanks for the great laugh.

I think I like the end of this chapter better than the version you published in "Scion" Keep up the good work

Thanks for sharing
