The Doom That Is Coming To Dudley

Personally, while I dislike Dudley intensely (wrote a whole fanfic where the 
point of the story was one of my OCs setting on him and opening up a whole 
shipment of whoop-a$$ all over his carcass) I do feel really sorry for him, 
too.

I think that sooner or later, his behavior is going to get him into Serious 
Trouble that his Mummy and Daddy can't get him out of.  Either he's going to 
get caught doing something serious enough to get him hauled into (whatever 
British people call) Juvenile Court, (or even adult-level court, if it's 
serious enough or the Day is delayed for much longer) or he's going to 
tangle with the wrong person or people, and get hauled home on a shutter.

I could see him and his idiot friends finding a "defenseless" littler kid, 
and starting in on the beating-up, just in time for the littler kid's big 
brother-the-Hells-Angel, and about five other Hells Angels, to come along. 
*Oooops!*  Dudders may be the terror of his suburban neighborhood, at least 
among the smaller, younger children, but he'd be 'way out of his league 
against that sort of opposition.  Or, if you don't like the Hells Angels, 
think of what would have happened had he run afoul of the Krays in their 
days of glory by picking on one of their weaker relatives.

Another scenario involves Dudders & Co. getting carried away and doing 
something that's really, really illegal, beyond the "kids will be kids" sort 
of thing they've mostly been up to.  Like really injuring someone badly or 
killing them, or trashing a store and setting it on fire, or something like 
that.

I wonder how Dudders, Piers and the rest of them would handle Dartmoor, or 
someplace like that?  I think they'd find out very quickly just how heavily 
outclassed they were.
