Fair enough with Dudley. Hopefully you have something nastier for his parents later on. I can see Harry using the old adage of speak softly and use a big stick to start getting a few of the archaic laws rescinded. Pity Filch didn't do more damage to the snake. Good read. Cheers.

Basically, that's exactly what I've done. I've given them absolute worst punishment they could ever imagine. You'll see it this weekend.
The laws are on the way out, and the methodology is perfectly legal and above board. The old-line blood purists are gonna -hate- that!
Filch/Snake: Aah, but more damage would imply intent. It was an accident, after all.
