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.

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.

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!

'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!

'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!

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!)

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.
