Oh, young!Arthur is adorable -- a bit like an over-eager puppy with paws too big for the rest of its body. I'm glad Perkins warmed up to him in the end. And the biting rubber ducks were a brilliant touch, as was the Evil Lava Lamp.

Thank you, anonymous author!

I really enjoyed writing young Arthur. It's an area, like Marauders fic, that has lots of potential to be explored. And I'm glad my attempts at humorous and creative use of magic didn't go amiss! I'm so pleased you enjoyed your gift.

Oh, wow. I love Arthur's mixture of competence and... well, as After the Rain said, puppyishness. :)

Well, from all the speculation before HBP about Arthur being the new Minister, it's clear Arthur is a talented guy, plugs and "Mollywobbles" and all. I'm glad I could bring that out. Thanks for reading!

Hee, that was adorable! Over eager Arthur was so great. :)

I like your icon. :-D

I'm glad you enjoyed Arthur's enthusiasm, even if Perkins didn't always! Thanks for the comment.

Funny and effective writing and a really nice depiction of Arthur Weasley.
(Is deeply jealous).

[melandry]

Thank you! There's no need for jealousy, though, I'm sure.

This is adorable. I love the grudgingness of Perkins and enthusiasm of very young Arthur. :D

Thanks! It was fun writing Perkins - I don't necessarily agree with his initial take on Arthur, but it was an irresistable way into the story for me. I'm glad you liked it, too.
