Thank you indeed! I am very happy for my fic to be called brilliant! You must be a very intelligent reader to understand Dumbledore so well. Glad you enjoyed my story and thanks for your kind review.
Again, excellently done. Poor Ginny, she really has had the lion's
share of embarrassing moments. Good thing she's a Gryff, so she can
handle that share! ;-)
My two favorite lines:
That was it . She was never, ever, ever going to kiss anyone in the hallways ever
again. Never. From this moment on, she was going to make sure she and …
whoever … were completely alone, protected by fifty billion privacy,
silencing, imperturbable, locking and whatever other bloody charms she
could think of so she would never get sprung again. Ever.
and
" If you plan to make a spectacle of yourselves, my possums, do invite me along to enjoy the show." '
Her method of addressing Harry in her mind is quite realistic too.
All in all, good job. I'm very impressed and enjoyed it immensely.

Thank you, Cassie, we really do dish it out to poor Ginny, don't we (the fans, that is) but that's only because we know she can hack it! Yes, she's kissing Dean and thinking about the next time when she's kissing '... whoever' - hmm. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks so much for the review.
Heya Ladybug..... Another gem. I'll repeat what I told you in an email for all the folks here..... I stupidly read this for the first time in a public internet cafe. Hours later, I still had the bitemarks in my knuckles that I made trying not to laugh so hard that the people around me wouldn't think I was a crazy person. Hmmm. Maybe they wouldn't have been so wrong after all. Anyway, brilliant work again, T.

Enjoyed both of these! I do hope you plan for more 'mortifying' moments.

Oh yes, there are three more moments to come, though they're not really 'mortifying' ones - Dumbledore's not always such a tease! Thanks for your review.
Very funny. I would love to see a portrait of Dame Edna Everage. She could replace the Fat lady. Or the one that guards the Syltherin entrance. She would be a change from all that black and green. She'd be there in brightest frock and a hair-do to die for only armed with a bunch of Gladyolie, (Don't think I got that, but what a picture.) And screeming at the top of her voice "Hello possums. Have you been naughty today?" Oh yeah funny to see Ginny and Dean getting caught kissing. Sorry don't like the word snogging, lol. You do seem to get Dumbledore right every time. Nice one

Oh, what a picture you've painted of her - perfect! And I don't like the 's' word either, but as a tribute to the great JKR I just had to include it here, as many times as I possibly could! Ha ha ha! Thank you for your review.
Hee what a fatastic fic to end my Friday with! Wonderfully fully and a brilliant capture of Dumbledore's character.

Oh my, I've never had a 'wondefully fully' fic before, I hope you also found it 'funny'.(Sorry, couldn't resist!) Thanks for your review, glad I could help start off your weekend with a laugh.
This is absolutely wonderful! So funny. Jack Sloper's story was very amusing but this one really takes the cake. Dumbledore is very in-character - kudos! - as are Ginny and Dean. Overall a very satisfactory story - I can't wait for the next installment!
Favorite Quote:
'Um …' Oh, she was so eloquent. Apparently her tongue was tied - well yes, that was the problem - up until this moment her tongue had been tied … with Dean's.
Hahahahhaha. Keep up the good work! Bella

Thank you so much. You picked one of my favourite lines, too! Some of the thoughts just came tumbling out of my head onto the screen and this was one of them. I'm glad you're enjoying it.
'What a shame it is,' Dumbledore spoke to no one in particular as he started off down the corridor, leaving Ginny and Dean in their mortification, 'that Dame Edna has not yet arrived. I have heard her remark on more than one occasion, " If you plan to make a spectacle of yourselves, my possums, do invite me along to enjoy the show." ' He began humming to himself as he turned the corner.
This is the best paragraph! What a brilliant touch to think of Dame Edna for this scroll. S/he's wickedly funny and rightly belongs among the Hogwarts' portraits. I'd love to see her as the Gryffindor sentry sometime, as well. Though that might be a bit over the top, so maybe I'll just keep that in my imagination.
After spending most of the year before HBP released reading fics that portrayed Dumbledore as a manipulative, albeit charming, despot, I'm thrilled to see this series here. You seem to fully understand Professor Dumbledore's inner workings. And you capture what I love most about him. Dear Mr. Gambon should read these before filming OotP. Ah, to be THIS marvelous in my old age. I'll have to start working on it now, I think. Brava !

Oh yes, to be this marvelous! Unfortunately, as you know, I have to think and stew and write and rewrite for weeks to come up with something like this, whereas Dumbledore comes up with it in a moment. hee hee! I'm glad Dumbledore seems appropriate, he's a very complex character, but great fun to play with. Thanks for your kind words, I'm glad it entertained you!
Oh, that was great fun! No room on the team indeed - heehee!
Once again, I'm thoroughly enjoying Dumbledore through the eyes
of others. Honestly, it's a therapeutic method of coping with his
death to examine his last months in such a way. Keep up the good
work!

Thanks, I hadn't thought about the therapeutic aspect but perhaps that's my subconscious reason for writing these. Glad you're enjoying it. (He's a bit cheeky, old Dumbledore, isn't he!)
Hee hee! Poor Ginny and naughty Dumbledore. I liked the line at the end where Ginny regains her composure - it sounds like a very Ginny thing to do.

Thanks! Yes, poor Ginny, it's no wonder she completely blew her stack when Ron and Harry 'sprung' her. You would have thought she'd have learnt her lesson.
You must be a very intelligent reader to understand Dumbledore so well. 
Glad you enjoyed my story and thanks for your kind review.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks, Gypsy, you're a star!
