Orphaned Cousins by Jan_AQ

Summary: Harry's Aunt and Uncle die, leaving both himself and his cousin Dudley without any guardians. They experience some sort of temporary living arrangement, such as Muggle or ministry custody, brief foster parents, or living on their own before finally ending up in the custody of Severus Snape. How much of a struggle was it to get both of them and how did he do it? Do they want to go?

Does this experience help Harry and Dudley bond, or do they hate each other even more after Petunia and Vernon's deaths? How does Dudley take being in the magical world?

Extra points to pick from:

• Both Dudley and Harry experience an abusive environment together.
• Someone runs away (Doesn't have to be Harry or Dudley).
• One of the boys gets in trouble with the Muggle authorities.
• Dudley stands up for someone being physically bullied.
• Ron Weasley turns one of the boys in when they do something wrong.
• Dudley is thought to be crazy when he mentions Magic to Muggles.
• Dudley tries to do Magic.
• Harry finds out that he is allergic to something.
