About the author

Retired fanfic author aka Maya or Mistful
Maya was an influential fan in the Harry Potter fandom who was active circa 2001-2008. She is the author of at least two dozen fanfics, most of which center on the characters of Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy (but not exclusively as a romantic pairing). All of her fanfiction was taken off the Internet on November 6, 2008.

Underwater Light was her seminal work, posted over the course of three years at the height of Harry Potter fandom activity and concurrently with parts of Cassandra Claire's epic, The Draco Trilogy. Along with Cassie Claire's LeatherPants!Draco, Maya's interpretation of Draco in Underwater Light and her other early works has had a huge influence on his characterization in HP fanfic at large.

I rather liked this fic, a simple but effective story wherein Dudley comes to a realization about himself in this short tale. Dudley takes pride in and nurtures his cousins hatred and anger towards him, but he discovers he has a rival for Harry's loathing and upon meeting the competition, comes to an understanding that (at least in my interpretation of it) love and hate may be two sides of the same coin.

not bad but it would be better if we were as dumbstruck as Dudley
