It took me a minute to get the joke, but that was excellent, although I'm not sure it counts as a "cliched plot," exactly :)

Thank you! I had difficulty getting it down to the required length, so I was worried it might be a bit choppy and obscure.

And thank you for generously over-looking the failure to provide enough cliche...

*giggles madly*

Awwww - lovely!

Poor Draco - if an evening sexing Hagrid's experiments is the most fun he's had in ages...

Great stuff!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! I haven't got any work done, as the plot bunny was biting, but it was fun to write (and actually, it was shortening it that took the time)

poor Draco Yes - of course he's sloshed, which probably makes it more fun... (He had been adding liberal amounts of firewhisky to his own punch: Ernie made it using elf-made-wine donated by Susan Bones, who doesn't drink much and therefore thinks wine is actually meant to taste like glycol.) I had a line explaining that although the Order knew Draco had changed sides and Harry had vouched for him before the Wizengamot post-war, he had been left under something of a cloud, but I chopped it due to space considerations. But I think the line speaks for itself...

Oh my goodness, that was absoloutely Precious! Poor sulky neglected Draco... *can't stop giggling*

"This is my first published HP fanfic"

That had better mean "first of many," that was So adorable

Thank you! I don't like Draco in canon, though he makes a good antagonist, but he's got more interesting since HBP: I think he has a good deal of potential, which I wouldn't have said before.

they drink, they sex.

*ded from the inventiveness* :D

Oh, the trick is to adopt an absolutely literal mind when reading the prompt :p

That was amazing. What a novel way to use the summery! I'm so glad you posted this- there needs to be more of this kind of work here.
