Second Chances [The Dudley Story]

The fear, the anxiety, and the anger were off the charts. Draco Malfoy refused to smile or talk with anyone. Every word that came out of his mouth was a curse or a snarl directed at his friends and foes alike.

Left alone for the most part, he struggled to move his hand and write a letter to tell his father about his loss. He knew how large of an amount the 100,000 Gold Galleon was, and how devastating it was to lose it. He knew that eventually he'd be asked to earn it back.

Father, I was duped. Potter used underhanded tricks to w—

Quickly, he crumpled the paper and threw it away. He realized how petty he sounded, trying to blame his loss on another. He simply couldn't blame Dudley for cheating since Dudley wasn't even playing in the match.

The fear ate him slowly. It'd been three days already and he wanted to inform his father before he'd find out about his loss from somewhere else.

Father, Slytherin lost to Gryffindor in the Quidditch Cup this year. I'm afraid I will have to honor the bet I made with Dudley. For this, I request your help, but I assure you that I will pay it all back to you once I finish Hogwarts and start working…

In the end, he chose to keep it all simple and to the point. No matter what, he'd eventually have to pay it back to his father.

However, that didn't mean his hatred for Dudley disappeared. Rather, he began hating the mudblood more than anything. Harry became secondary since the 'Boy Who Lived' had done nothing directly against him.

"I will make you beg for my forgiveness, Dudley. Just wait and watch!"

"Ugh, my ear feels itchy." Dudley annoyedly scratched his ear. "Probably Draco trash-talking."

"Heh, who else could it be?" Penelope Clearwater chuckled, sitting side by side with Dudley in the Library. A little too close in fact, as their chairs were practically stuck together, the same for their bodies. But she didn't mind.

Dudley shrugged and focused on the book. "Alright, Penny, here's the basics of how we'll run things. D&D Capital's magical side is all about the long game. We gotta fatten ourselves up and own whatever we can. The more businesses we have, the stronger our foundation will be, making us a powerful force no one can ignore. Eventually, all those businesses will help support my bank."

"Hmm." Penny hummed and suddenly, her soft, slender hand slipped over to Dudley's lap, on his right thigh. "Are you really going to challenge the Goblins?"

Interesting… Dudley was surprised by her sudden show of intimacy. Let's test it.

Yawning, Dudley raised his arms high and then wrapped his right arm around her shoulder. Although she was four years older than him, he rather liked that fact about her.

No reaction? Strange. What changed?

"Well, I've got all the backing I need from the Muggle economy to see my plans through," Dudley revealed and felt her hand softly caress his lap, still away from his crotch. "Why? Nervous?"

Penelope pursed her lips and just hummed in response. "I… It's going to be my first job and it sounds too… grand? I don't know if I can do it as well as you want me to."

"Come on." Dudley pulled his arm back from her shoulder and gently gripped the hand she'd placed on his lap. Instead of just holding it, he intertwined his fingers with hers, his grip warm and comforting. Looking at her gorgeous, round face, he gave her a small, reassuring smile. "You've got me full-time now. Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it bit by bit."

Penelope giggled softly, leaning closer until her face was just near his. She pressed a delicate kiss to his cheek, though it landed dangerously close to his lips. Her shyness and fluster were clear, but her extra four years on Dudley seemed to grant her a touch more boldness.

"You're the best thing to ever happen to me, Dudley. I can focus on my NEWTs without worry. I won't let you down, I promise."

Letting me down? Girl, you've made me rise right now.

Dudley smiled and squeezed her hand tighter. He controlled his masculine urges and decided to finish the quick study session. He had no doubts though, Penelope was hinting at more than just workplace relationships.

Finally, making a daring move, he released her hand and caressed her thigh in response, and he truly did caress it. Rubbing over her black Hogwarts skirt, feeling the soft flesh of those long legs. He looked into her blue eyes the entire time.

"Come on, we should get going. Our friends are probably waiting for us in the Great Hall," Dudley said and pushed his chair back, stopping all intimacy and standing up. He helped her gather the books and walked out with her. "Oh, by the way, any idea what I should do about your boyfriend? He asked about a job too."

Penelope scoffed in displeasure. "We're not dating anymore."

I guessed as much.

"Well, I won't ask for details. It's not really my place. I was considering sending him to the States. Let him try his hand at the American branch of my bank." Dudley revealed his plan, she being the first one to know about it. "At the end of the day, he is a talented wizard."

"That is true. I don't have anything to oppose, Dudley. The States is pretty far away. Besides, he's far too focused on his career and studies to care about anything else."

Ah, I can sense some bitterness.

Eventually, they arrived at the Great Hall for dinner. Dudley headed to the Hufflepuff table and Penelope went to the Ravenclaw. She was the envy of most seventh-years already, considered the most successful of her year as she had a job before even taking the exam, and the job paid too well.

Back at Hufflepuff's table, Susan elbowed him, winking.

"Nothing happened. I just taught her how to manage the business," Dudley clarified and relaxed with his best friends, also part-time lovers. "How did your extra class go? Had fun getting scolded by Professor McGonagall?"

"I hate her," Susan sneered and crossed her arms, jutting out those magnificent melons. "But I think I'll pass the exams."

Dudley laughed and looked to his right at Hannah, sitting there in summer clothes, meaning nothing under the skirt but her smooth and fleshy legs. He caressed her right away, sliding his warm hand underneath her skirt and feeling the softness. "I guess my Hannah will once again win the bet and score the most."

Hannah shyly smiled and slid forward until her belly pressed on the table's edge so his hand could stay hidden. But then she spread her legs a little and let Dudley feel the oozing warmth of her core as his palm caressed near the junction of her thighs. "I think I'll do better than Susan. But I can't compete with you, Dudley."

"Umhmm…" Dudley's fingers scraped her covered cave of wonders. He had yet to explore it, but teasing Hannah was his favorite thing to do. Seeing her shy face was always a joy. "By the way, Hannah, are you free this summer? I'm heading to South Korea for some work. Thought it might be nice if you came along."

"Really?" Hannah's face lit up. "I'd love to, Dudley."

Dudley pressed his thumb on the noticeable crevice formed on her panties, right between her pussy lips. "That settles it then."

"Hey, what about me?" Susan complained from his left, taking advantage of Dudley's distraction to shamelessly grip his hardened shaft under the table. "I thought we were best friends."

"We are." Dudley stopped playing with Hannah, his attention now on the teachers taking their seats. "But will your Aunt even let you come? I've met Hannah's parents, and they won't mind. But your Aunt... she's strict. I doubt she'd let you travel across Europe, never mind East Asia."

Susan puffed her cheeks in annoyance and squeezed him hard enough to feel his throbs. "I'll get my Aunt to agree, don't worry."

"How about this, Susan? When I get back with Hannah, we three can spend a week in France. I'm sure you'd have no trouble coming over—after all, the Ministry has a good relationship with the French side, doesn't it?"

Especially with the next year's Triwizard tournament planned.

"Oh? I can do that," Susan blurted and suddenly pressed her thumb over his cockhead. Her hand was too trained. She leaned in with a mischievous glint in her eye and whispered, "What, craving to try a sandwich?"

Dudley coughed and pushed her hand away. He knew what she meant by sandwich. It also made it clear that Susan had no desire to join him and Hannah in Korea. She knew he'd explore Hannah during that trip.

But in France, what would the three of them do?

What a girl.

"Let's do that then." Dudley finalized the plan and focused on his food.
