Often, the Dursleys are completely flabbergasted. Mr. Dursley might start blustering and trying to find some 'logical' explanation for what's happening. Mrs. Dursley could be on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Dudley, on the other hand, might be a bit more open - minded in some fanfictions, especially if he sees some cool magical stuff that he can't resist. But overall, they're not used to this kind of disruption to their normal, mundane lives.
When the Dursleys get caught up in magic in fanfiction, their reactions can vary widely. Mr. Dursley, being the traditional, no - nonsense type, might initially try to fight against it, thinking it's some sort of elaborate hoax. Mrs. Dursley would probably be terrified, worried about how this would affect their normal life and what the neighbors would think. Dudley could have a more complex reaction. He might be scared at first, but then, if he realizes that there are advantages to this new world, like getting special treats or powers, he could start to warm up to it. However, in many cases, their initial reactions are rooted in their long - held beliefs and dislike for anything out of the ordinary.
They usually react with shock and horror at first. After all, they've spent their lives denying the existence of magic. But as the situation unfolds, some might show a glimmer of curiosity, while others remain stubbornly resistant.
In some fanfictions, if the Dursleys get caught up in magic, they might be forced to face their long - held prejudices. For example, they could be magically transported to the wizarding world and be exposed to the beauty and complexity of magic they once despised. This could lead to a change in their attitude towards Harry and the wizarding community in general.
Scorpius might be more reserved and try to assess the situation first. He might not say much at first, while Rose is blurting out excuses. Then he could step in to support her explanations or add his own when he figures out the best way to handle it.
Percy would most likely go into a state of panic. His mind would be racing, thinking about all the teasing he'll get from his friends and what his mother would say if she found out. He might try to make a joke to ease the tension, but it would probably come out all wrong. Annabeth would be a bit more calm, but still mortified. She would be thinking about how this could affect their reputation in the camp, especially since they are both leaders in a way. She might give Percy a look that says 'this is all your fault' even if it wasn't really.
Some people react with shock. They might not be expecting to see someone crossdressing, so their immediate reaction is one of disbelief. For example, a friend might be completely stunned if they catch another friend crossdressing.
There are those who, when caught cheating, will try to shift the blame. In a business deal, if one partner is caught cheating on the contract terms, they might try to say that the other party didn't communicate clearly. But in general, being caught cheating often leads to a loss of trust. Whether it's in a friendship, a relationship, or a professional setting, once caught cheating, it's very difficult to regain the respect and trust of others.
Some characters might be shocked. They could never have expected Dexter to be involved in such situations.
To get caught up on comics, you might want to check out YouTube channels that do detailed comic reviews or explanations. Another option is to join comic forums where fans discuss and summarize the key points of each issue.
Some people might feel embarrassed. If they are caught reading or having erotic stories in a public or inappropriate setting, it can be quite a shameful experience.
Yes, in many fanfictions, the Dursleys face consequences for their mistreatment of Harry.
They might be terrified. The Dursleys are used to a normal, non - magical world, and Harry's family is full of magic. They could see something as simple as a wizard apparating and completely freak out.
