Chapter 88: Beauty Potion
The first thing Dudley did after arriving home was to call for his house-elves.
"Dobby, Mipsy, Kreacher!"
Two loyal house-elves stood inside the living room, patiently awaiting Dudley arrival, while the third elf, Mipsy are also loyal, he was only on loan from house of Bones and they are not allowed to leave the house due to the Statute of Secrecy.
Privet Drive was a Muggle neighborhood and the accidental sighting of a house-elf by a non-magical person could cause serious trouble. Dudley didn't want the magical registration on their household revoked because of something so careless by the elf. That's why he had taken the time to teach the elves how to behave discreetly and ban them to leave the house.
"Master," they said in unison, respectfully.
"You all look fantastic," Dudley said with a proud grin. "Now I can confidently say that even the pure-blood families would want you as their house-elves."
Dobby immediately burst into tears of joy, Kreacher gave a rare smirk and Mipsy hurried over to her mistress to seek confirmation.
"Yes, Mipsy," Susan said gently. "You look very special now."
After living with the Dursleys, Susan had come to understand that house-elves thrived on praise. Just a few kind words could inspire them to do their tasks even better. Because of this, she no longer held back her compliments when they were deserved.

That evening, the group enjoyed dinner together in celebration. Laughter filled the air, and even Vernon had loosened his tie and relaxed, a rare sight indeed seeing the table full and also everyone is happy. Later, Amelia Bones and Susan Bones excused themselves to return to their room prepare for sleeping, while Sirius went to meet Remus Lupin and Harry stay at his room.
Coincidentally, thanks to magical expansion rune, the second floor have been renovated with magical rune, it had become larger, there is an extra 10 room.
Maybe because they are too tired, they fall asleep after feasting. Dudley took his chance to slip away unnoticed and sneak into his parents bedroom.
"Father, Mother... I'm sorry for coming in like this," Dudley said in a hushed voice.
"It's alright," Petunia replied kindly. "You must have something important to share."
"Tell us, Dudley.... did someone bully you?" Vernon asked, already puffing up with protective energy.
"No, Father. Nothing like that, I am Dudley, who dare to bully me," Dudley said, pulling two small glass tubes from his pocket. One contained a shimmering green liquid, the other a soft, glowing blue.
Vernon and Petunia exchanged curious glances.
"What are those?" Vernon asked.
"Remember when you asked me how I managed to lose all that weight?" Dudley said, raising the green tube slightly.
"Yes, I've been wondering about that," Vernon admitted.
"This green potion that helps remove excess fat and tighten the skin," Dudley explained. "One dose is enough to shed five kilograms. I've prepared enough for you to safely reach a healthy BMI."
Vernon eyes lit up. He stepped forward eagerly, while Petunia watched from behind, her hands clasped in front of her mouth.
"How do I take it?" Vernon asked, grinning like a child receiving a new toy.
Dudley uncorked the tube. "Just drink it like water."
Vernon took a quick sip and within moments, he could feel his body changing. His belly began to shrink, his skin tightened, and he stood a little taller, feeling lighter than he had in years.
"Sweetheart," Petunia whispered, stunned by the transformation.
She didn't need the potion herself, her frame was already slim, but she was no less impressed looking at her husband become slimmer.
"Dudley... do you have more of this?" Vernon asked hopefully.
"You can't take it every day," Dudley warned. "Only once a week."
"Why?" both parents asked simultaneously.
"The reason I came here in secret is because, technically, non-magical people aren't allowed to use magical items. It's illegal under Ministry law. A slow, steady weight loss, which is five kilograms per week won't raise suspicion. But if you drop 50 kilograms in a single day, that would be dangerous and highly suspicious."
He continued, "Besides, I don't want to shock your body. Rapid weight loss could stress your heart. It's safer to go slowly so your brain and organs can adjust."
"Oh… you don't want Amelia to find out, do you?" Petunia asked softly.
"Exactly," Dudley nodded. "She's the Head of Magical Law Enforcement. In Muggle terms, she's like the Minister of Justice. She allowed us to use house-elves but giving magical potions to you? That crosses a line she won't tolerate."
Both of them fell silent, understanding the danger of what their son had said.
Dudley stepped closer and rested a hand on Vernon shoulder. "Father, I've prepared just enough for you to reach a healthy BMI. You currently weigh about 98 kilograms, and with a height of 175 centimeters, you'll need to reach around 68 kilograms to be in the healthy range. Once you get there, I have another potion that will help maintain it."
Vernon didn't reply immediately. Instead, he pulled his son into a tight hug. "Thank you, my son. I'm proud of you."
After ten seconds, Dudley gently pulled away. "Alright, Father... that's enough. I have something for Mother too."
"Oh! Right," Vernon said, stepping aside.
"Mother," Dudley said, presenting the blue tube. "This one is for you."
"What is it, Dudley?" Petunia asked with curiosity.
"Do you want to look like you're in your twenties again?" he asked, a twinkle in his eye.
"You don't mean…" Petunia gasped, hand to her chest.
"Yes," Dudley nodded. "This is a beauty-enhancing potion. It works like a lotion but with far stronger effects. It removes wrinkles, lightens the skin, smooths texture, and even strengthens the bones with added calcium, no more aching waist."
"Give it to your mother immediately," Vernon said, clearly excited by the thought of Petunia regaining her youthful glow.
Dudley uncorked the tube and handed it to her. Petunia drank it all in one go.
Within seconds, her skin began to glow with renewed health. Wrinkles faded, sagging skin tightened and she felt a sudden surge of energy course through her body. She stood up straighter, felt lighter on her feet and looked visibly younger.
Vernon was speechless. He stared at his wife, practically drooling.
She looked more stunning now than she did on their wedding day.
The potion had worked better than anyone expected.
What Dudley didn't know, however, was how life-changing this night would truly be. His actions would eventually lead to him becoming a big brother.
Vernon, now revitalized by his weight loss, found himself full of energy and with a wife who looked twenty years younger, he had more than enough motivation to express his affection.
The result?
Dudley would gain two little sisters and one younger brother. And the best part?
Thanks to the effects of the potion, all three would be born wizards no longer Squibs or Muggles
