Oh. my. word. I have not laughed so loudly at a fanfic in ages. I think I scared the kitty...

I've guessed who you are, and your cleverness never ceases to amaze me. First of all I was impressed by how you set a scene with such minimal yet crucial details as sprinkling millet on the bar, and then it came back in the end for a very key joke! This exchange just had me in stitches: Aberforth met them at the door, scattering a handful of a light-coloured grain on the floor.

“Why doesn’t he just pour it in a pile for the poor goat to eat?” Tonks wondered aloud.

“Well,” Remus mused, watching the barkeep lead the goat back toward his room. “I assumed he was sowing his wild oats and doing his best to keep the bar seedy.”

Aberforth's crypticness is hysterical, and Ewe and I and Euan eye are brilliant takes on the prompt.

Splendid job, dear, as always.

MrsTater, who will be giggling all afternoon...

I didn't do a very good job disguising my 'voice,' apparently.

Glad you enjoyed this, especially the grainy images. ;)

Many apologies to the frightened kitty!

Oops, LJ gave me a posting error and when I tried again, I forgot to say "Thanks for reading and leaving such lovely comments!"

You (and I think I know who you are-course I'm prolly SO wrong) are brilliant!! =D

Best lines: “My, what quick reflexes you have.”

“The better to--”

BANG.

“--you with, my dear,”

*I snorted tea with this one so I knew the rest'd be good*

He likes-what the?-You can’t be serious.”

“No. I’m Remus.” He sniggered.

*ALWAYS a great line*

“Damn it Remus! You’re always ‘too’ something.”

*You tell 'im, Tonks!*

Fanstatic closing line!!

Glad you liked this! I'm also thrilled to make you snort your tea. Does the caffeine get to your brain faster that way? ;)
I had entirely too much fun writing this!
Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Congratulations on a truly dreadful series of puns. I mean that, obviously, as a high compliment!

[molly_coddles]

LOL, thanks! I seem to specialize in dreadful puns.
Thanks for reading and reviewing!

OMG, you're amazing! What a clever use of your prompt with 'Euan eye' and 'Ewe and Eye'. I love puns, and I don't know if I've ever read so many packed into such short fic. This was nothing short of brilliant, and very funny. Wow!

[molly_coddles]

Thank you! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this and got a chuckle or two out of it. I have an indecent amount of fun writing these types of fics, and I'm glad that others enjoy them too. ;)
Thanks for reading and making my day with your review!

I love your author's notes, oh mysterious, unknown author. Though I would have chosen E flat, as that is my favorite key.

Remus chuckled, seeming unconcerned. “My, what quick reflexes you have.”

“The better to--”

BANG.

“--you with, my dear,” Tonks answered, keeping her wand trained on the sound.

tee-hee! You said bang. Apparently I'm twelve years old tonight. It's all the snow. I love that exchange. Just too funny.

The whole thing was hilarious, and then you went and made it so sweet at the end. Wonderful job! :)

[molly_coddles]

E flat? Really? I never knew that about you. *Files away potentially useful information for later*
Apparently I'm twelve years old tonight. It's all the snow. I love that exchange. Just too funny.
What can I say? It's refreshing to find someone who shares my mindset... ;)
Glad you enjoyed that dose of saccharine at the end, too, lol.
Thanks for reading and reviewing!
