A very clever and original story. I loved how you swapped the couples around, and I very much liked your Neville and Luna. Her comment about a fluffy tail and knickers was hilarious.

And it was nice that Harry and Ginny connected both because of and in spite of their friends' machinations.

Very, very well done, mystery author.

Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it. I've often wondered if, lacking Harry's input, Hermione and Ron would have ended up as anything more than casual friends. Perhaps her friendship with Ginny helped her see Fred as someone worth getting to know.

I do love happy endings. Thanks for such an entertaining story.

I don't think I can write a sad ending to save my life.

LOL at the Harry Potter look a like contest. ;)

I loved Hermione's and Neville's ways of relating to Luna!

YAY for Harry's and Ginny's getting together AND getting revenge. :D

I can imagine Fred and George dreaming up something like that, just to tease the real Harry.

I loved Harry's Batman costume! And the conspiracy to get Harry and Ginny together. And Ginny being as beautiful as an inferius can be. This was a very clever AU; I adored it. Good job!

Thank you! I wonder if Ginny chose to go as an Inferius to somehow draw attention to her personality rather than her looks. Although it seems like Harry saw right through it.

Interesting twist on things. Although that might have been too Byzantine an idea for even Fred and George to figure out.

I'm glad you liked the AU-ness--it seems to be my preferred field.
