Wonderful, so wonderful. And I want to know what happend after Harry's and Draco's snogging and after Pansy and Draco are done with the bottle. Aww, really. :)

LOL! It's probably not safe for work :'D A million thanks for this lovely comment that kind of made me giggle a little ♥ ♥

I absolutely love this fic. I love how it switches between past and present, and how dynamic that makes it feel. And I adore Pansy. Lolol! There are so many little details that I adore in tis fic, Harry being so inarticulate, Draco's blue strands of hair, his Ministry -issued useless wand, the house-elf heads following him with their lifeless eyes, Pansy sipping her wine, standing, pacing, excitedly, well, actually I love all of it. There isn't a single word that hasn't been perfectly placed and I love eeeeeet! I love it. I'm just bad at conveying why, :P *huggles*

♥♥♥ This meant the world to me when I read it (and then I never answered it because I'm a piece of shit but, BUT) thank you for this lovely comment, and for being so kind and amazing and offering to beta-read for me because... well, because I was a nervous wreck, and that made me feel a whole lot better :B :B

Thank you so much for taking this meager prompt and turning it into a story that was funny to read. Here are some of my favorite bits:

“Malfoy? Is that you?”

Great, Draco thought bitterly, because his day hadn't been nearly bad enough so far. He'd just been minding his own business, for fuck's sake. Why did the universe insist on punishing him like this?

“Why are you all-” Potter broke off, chuckling. “You look like a drowned ferret.”

**

“The ferret incident, really?” Pansy leans back on his sofa, crossing one leg over the other. It makes her tasteful, grey pleated skirt bunch up untidily around her thighs. “It never gets old, does it?”

“Not to them, it doesn't,” mutters Draco.

“Gryffindors, I swear-” she rolls her eyes, “-forever stuck at the age of fourteen.”

“Tell me about it.”

I loved the humor and snarkiness you gave both Draco and Pansy. Best-friend Pansy is one of my favorites and you absolutely nailed her personality in this fic.

Thank you so much for this lovely comment! :') Your prompt was marvellous! I loved it so much I actually started writing this story before hearing back from the mods -- all the while thinking, "Oh dear, but what if it gets assigned to someone else!" xD

This was great. A wet Draco is always a thing of joy, and a wet, oblivious Draco with a flirty, crushy Harry was a very lovely thing indeed. Thank you, MA!

Birds!! ♥ Thank you! Oh, I must agree with you, a wet, oblivious Draco is always a thing of joy (and I'm not entirely sure why Harry felt like being flirty, but I'm kind of glad he did? :'D)
