I've read this story a couple of times, and I love it. I also just realized that the way Mr. Preston was helping Neville, is a lot like how Ramsey is when he teaches kids.

Honestly i'd enjoy watching big bad Bellatrix coo and aww over Wombat-mort. Sounds cute in a very creepy way.

Good ending.

Good

Yeah, OCs are... difficult to use in fanfiction. Most of the time, unless it's an OC MC (where as long as they struggle properly it's fine) it's best to keep them in the background as filler characters (though important filler characters are just fine).

The last, rarest situation is if you are writing for a fandom that is followed for the world just as much as the characters. I've seen fics with maybe 1 or 2 canon characters relegated to the background and an entire cast of OCs... but only one fandom where that kind of story got popular. (My Little Pony, in case you're wondering.)

Every rule has exceptions, of course, but in fanfiction especially, the reader has to be given ample reason to care about characters, and canon ones always have a shortcut.

life of Brian is my favorite.

Ignore the last part of my past review. The story is good, the author is not as awesome as I thought

Nice. Very entertaining. Thank you, author. Keep being awesome!

Started very strong, tailed off, then flamed out. Pity.

Snape is a war hero, that's a fact but she is undoubtedly a shit teacher.

On a second reading of this story, I must protest on behalf of the Free Masons. It’s the Elk lodge (or Moose lodge?) that surely does their thing with the antlers…

I am still reading but I am sorely disappointed there has not been any dogfather jokes and dogson addons for truly hilarious proportions.

Great story, definitely one of the best comedy fanfics out there.

gosh darn, how I love that Luna gal!
