This is lovely!

I'm so happy you did another school-assignment fic. The part about tolerant muggles had to be my favorite.

I'm not sure which I love more: your angst-fic or your humor-fic. I can't get enough of either, it seems.

Thank you very, very much! ♥ I'm so glad you enjoyed this. It seemed to be time for them to get down to some more work!

I'm not sure which I love more: your angst-fic or your humor-fic.

Oh, that's such a lovely thing to say! I'll have to find a happy medium and just write fluff, perhaps... :D

Oh, you don't need to go that far. Really, I'm a sucker for a good tie-my-heart-in-knots fic, and you've written some of the best.

*snicker*

Oh God, boys, the things you two get up to!

I then Transfigured it into its original form, a baby crocodile, and set it free in Regent’s Park canal.

Oh Remus, you big softie.

Question: would CCTV be at all common in 1977? I have to admit, this was 6 or so years afore my birth, but I thought it was only brought in to department stores and the like in the early eighties . . .

minnow_53 April 15 2006, 07:58:59 UTC

Okay, back to google... It was around in an experimental form, but a big store would have had security cameras at least, so it's been changed commensurately. They're looking at still pictures, or that's the implication, rather than a film, which seems fair enough. Or you can just suspend disbelief... :D

Thank you very much for reading and commenting! ♥

I'm sure they would, as I remember them from my childhood and that was the early 70's.

roz_morgan April 15 2006, 07:52:55 UTC

Oh god, the Morris Dancing!
*is too shocked by that picture to think*

Fantastic fic, sweetie.

minnow_53 April 15 2006, 08:03:11 UTC

Thank you very much! ♥

Just pity me: I had to trawl through about 15 pages of Google images before I decided this was the most suitable. It'll take years for me recover fully... :(

*hugs you tightly, and feeds you Easter eggs*

And the baby crocodile is too adorable.

westwardlee April 15 2006, 08:03:35 UTC

I'd give them a good mark, of course - for the effort.

But YOU? You get the highest. This was simply superb. The shoplifting was the best. Remus was so funny, analyzing his technique. I was laughing so hard.

The Sexual Liberation experiment was very sweet.

All in all, you get a NEWT, no doubt.

minnow_53 April 15 2006, 08:18:43 UTC

Thank you very much! ♥ As long as it isn't a real newt... :D

This was a new departure for me, because I thought it up at the orthodontist's, not the supermarket. Didn't manage to get teeth or braces into it, though. Maybe next time!

^_^xx

westwardlee April 15 2006, 14:30:14 UTC

Oh my! You found another source of inspiration!

Obviously you weren't the one being treated. I doubt that bunnies can bite when one is in the orthodontist's chair.

minnow_53 April 16 2006, 00:28:04 UTC

No, no, it was my boy! The kids just have iPods plugged in permanently, so there's plenty of silence in the waiting room, nothing reasonable to read and a display of teeth in moulds to look at. Fruitful ground for introspection!

^_^xx

mauvaise_etoile April 15 2006, 08:35:27 UTC

Yay! This was very cute and sweet :) And funny! I definitely liked the shoplifting one best, but they were all lovely. Sirius was very IC. I loved the characterization of Remus: very light-hearted. Yay again 'cause I really needed some fluff! I love your school-age stories so much.

mauvaise_etoile April 15 2006, 08:36:56 UTC

Oh, and I'm horribly curious about this Morris Dancing business now. I'm about to scurry off to Google to find out more :D

minnow_53 April 15 2006, 08:40:03 UTC

Thank you very much! ♥ I'm so glad you enjoyed it. You may find that researching Morris Dancing makes your head implode, though I suppose it's better than watching it! I've always been like Sirius, and never actually managed to see enough of it to form an opinion.

^_^xx

mauvaise_etoile April 15 2006, 09:06:38 UTC

Well thank god for Wikipedia: I know all there is to know about Morris Dancing. It's a bit cheesy, though to be fair, it is traditional and over 500 years old! Though I still don't really understand it :D
