*Squeeee!* I can't wait to read chapter 2. This was the funniest fanfiction I have ever read. How have I missed your stuff before now?! Yikes! I have a lot of catching up to do. this was marvelous. You wrote every single one of the characters just as I imagine them. Molly was adorable, eating cake, having her mouth fall open, saying that Arther made the roster. MadEye was ridiculous and constantly vigilent with his crazy barber report. Dumblesdore was so full of his usual twinkle. (my favorite line, which took me a double take to fully understand and lol, was “Hmm?” Dumbledore looked up. “I’m sorry, I was imagining your surprise. Do go on.” I almost fell out of my seat. Snape was sooo malicious and petty. Tonks was so embarised yet fisty. Remus was so calm and chivalrous and sexy. Mundungus. MUNDUNGUS! I have never read a Mundungus I loved more. That I loved at all! Yours is better than cannon. I laughed so hard. So hard I tell you. I hope her appears in the next chapters. thank you for this. I must go read now!

Oh, thank you very much, especially as I was having a day similar to holding an Order Meeting with Snape and Dung running riot in it, lol. So reading this cheered me up no end.

As it was intended to be my one and only fanfic ever (I'm still not sure where I went awry with that plan), I decided I'd have a go at all the characters I fancied writing - hence most of the Order end up as the worst ever relationship counsellors to our leading duo. I have to say Dung was only included at the last minute, but it's just great to have someone who can say appalling things and get away with it. I'm very glad you liked him and everyone else.

I do actually get round to R/T in the other chapters, so I hope they're not a let down comedy-wise, but I think Dung does have time for another subtle appearance and a terrible joke about Knuts. ;)

Many thanks for such a nice review!:D

"I'm sorry, I was imagining your surprise."
Funniest line ever, and Dung was brilliant, and now I have several rather unwanted images of certain characters who are not together in canon, but were paired together.

Thanks very much for the kind words! I had great fun writing this, and letting Snape and Dung be the Order party guests from hell - and then having Dumbledore put everyone firmly in their place. I think I remembered it was supposed to be an R/T fic in the next chapter, lol.

Great to hear you enjoyed it, and hope those unwanted images disappear soon! :)
