1"Dudley Dursley Saves the World" is a ''Literature/HarryPotter'' oneshot fic by Aesop in 2002, prior to the release of ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix''. It chronicles Voldemort's latest attempt to rid himself of the Boy Who Lived. Unfortunately, it ''really'' doesn't go his way...

5!! This fic features the following tropes:
6
7* AccidentalHero: Dudley's titular saving of the world happens as he's attempting to escape Privet Drive and [[spoiler: falls on Voldemort]]. He probably doesn't even realize what's happened!
8* AlasPoorVillain: Harry towards Voldemort. Played for laughs.
9--> All [Harry] could think of when he looked down at his nemesis was "what a way to go".
10* AlternateUniverse: Slightly, possibly a case of OutdatedByCanon. Apparently Voldemort can enter Number 4 Privet Drive in this continuity...which he just does.
11* ExactWords: Voldemort says that ''he'' wouldn't hurt the Dursleys, ''not'' that no harm would come to them.
12* MinimalistCast: This fic features exactly six characters: Harry, Voldemort, the Dursleys, and Wormtail. [[spoiler: And ''half'' of them die!]]
13* PottyFailure: Either Dudley or Voldemort loses control of his bladder after [[spoiler:Dudley falls on top of Voldemort]]; Harry isn't quite sure which it is.
14* TallyMarksOnThePrisonWall: Harry considers marking the days until he can go to the Burrow on his bedroom wall, but he figures that Aunt Petunia would get mad at him.
15* UndignifiedDeath: Voldemort is [[spoiler: smothered to death when Dudley jumps out of the window and falls on him]].
