HP: If I Knew You Were Coming, I’d’ve Baked a Cake, by pitry.

FANDOM: Harry Potter
FIC LINK: If I Knew You Were Coming, I’d’ve Baked a Cake
AUTHOR LINK: [archiveofourown.org profile] Pitry.
RATING/WARNING(S): PG
WIP?/WORD COUNT: one-shot, ~ 8,500 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Dudley Dursley, Lavender Brown, George Weasley

FIC SUMMARY: It was funny to call it normal, but life can be funny sometimes: that was what Lavender had said, and Dudley, who knew he wasn’t very clever, was bound to agree with her.

RECCER'S NOTES:

I really love all the characters here, but Dudley especially was great. He's still the boy we met, but he grew up. Not all bullies stay bullies, and I love him realizing that, that he can change.
The characters interactions were wonderful too, all those little moments of friendship. How the war left scars, some more visible than others, and yet life can go on.

I was sold as soon as I saw the main characters (Lavender, George and Dudley? Whaaat?), and this was amazing. Thanks for reccing it!

Also, good call on adding a tag for female-male friendship!
