Thanks! And yes, the Dursleys will be back, and Dudley is post-dementor here. I have a scene in mind of the two of them.

As to HG/SS, I think it'll be more interesting to see if he can reach out to people in deeper ways than sex. Sex is easy, at least in the heat of the moment. I don't know how well I'll navigate it, but I'm fairly sure it will be no worse than if I tried to insert romance into the mix. Since I so suck at that.

We'll see. Thanks for the comment and the encouragement.
