[I've had this review lying around in draft form for a long time, so I'm just going to post it. This story is great fun.]

"I have given Pansy two weeks['] detention. One week for her participation[,] and one week for losing to a [I]Weasley[/I] of all people."

:)

"I can't have my senior Ravenclaw prefect engaged in a cross-school fight – and losing."

:)

If Flitwick manages to find the spell to recreate what happened before the girls entered the Hall, other people would like to have a look, too.

Famous last words, about not being able to intercept mmail on a private M.A.N.

Severus' mmail to "the technophobic plant lover" should be to Minnie and Pommie, not Minnie and Pomfrey - he's obviously still continuing his conversation with the other Heads of House.

"He might not be the sort to be that petty, but Ms. Weasley is."

"I feel that as teachers, we need to step into this immediately."

Pity about Hooch, I'd've hoped she had a more realistic assessment of Harry's capabilities.

I like Hermione's spy network. It makes perfect sense that a lot of people would owe her for serious academic help.

The boys have some nerve, worrying about Ginny's virtue.

I rather enjoy the fanon conceit that Lavender and Parvati, in a girly situation within their sphere of expertise, could be very bossy and intimidating indeed. Here we have them on the subject of the right apology look, for instance. In a similar vein, Omnifarious cast them as terrifying wedding planners in _The Wedding of the Boy Hero_. I daresay that if it came to matchmaking for one of their friends, they'd be able to plan strategy in a most impressive manner, as well.

[laughs] Lavender and Parvati and Hermione seem to be channeling all the frustrated H/G shippers out there: hex Ron if he tries to mess this up. Nice that Dean got into the act, too; he's had it with Ginny's brothers, and no wonder.

[grin] Padfoot suspects Harry's motives, but just thinks that means Harry's coming along well as the next generation of MWPP. Padfoot's definitely not a hypocrite.

Canon nitpicks:
- Percy's full name is Percy Ignatius Weasley, not "Percival C. Weasley". Fudge would've called him Percival in full at the disciplinary hearing if that were his name, in my opinion, and did call him by his middle name in full.

Copyediting nitpicks:
- "Heads of House" is the correct plural form, not "Head of Houses" - the term refers to several people holding similar positions, not one person holding the same position for multiple Houses.
- On the mmail, be careful about the spelling of "Minnie" - the 2nd 'I' is occasionally being dropped.
- Trelawney's given name is "Sybill", nonstandard spelling. (I sympathize; I have to consciously remember that the old bat uses a weird spelling to keep from messing it up myself.)
- "nothing to be ashamed of" takes only 1 'F'.
