Title: Registration
Author: Samvimes
Rating: PG, K+
Genre: Humor
DLP Category: Humor
Pairing: None
Status: Complete: It's a oneshot
Summary:When they get roped into waiting to register James' unborn son for Hogwarts, Sirius and Remus have a long day's wait, and a small dilemma -- nobody's picked a name yet. Faturing the Patils, Finnigans, Longbottoms, Malfoys, and one Weasley as supporting cast...

What I found to be a funny little oneshot about how Harry has always had his name down for Hogwarts...But unfortunately, since he hasn't been named yet, it's up to half of the Marauders to pick one...

I found it amusing, not super great, but Samvimes has been around a while and writes fairly decently. No major spelling or grammar errors, provides some distraction... 4/5

I love this little one-shot. Maybe a bit fluffier than the average DLP reader enjoys, but it's hilarious and cute.

This author goes by the name Copperbadge and also has it posted at FFA here (http://copperbadge.fanficauthors.net/Registration/Registration.php).

Some authors and fics I can always reread and enjoy. This is one of those fics. 5/5

I'm going to join the wave of adoration here, I have always enjoyed Samvimes/Copperbadge's work, even the more shash based works have always been interesting and well written enough to hold my attention. Very definitely worth reading and highly entertaining.

5/5

Too long to get to the point. >_< It felt like I was swimming up river for half the time and i ended up skipping a quater of it to get to the 'punch line' so to speak.

4/5

"That's not spiked tea," he said, "That's tea-flavoured whiskey..."

"Hey, that'd be a great name!" Bill exclaimed. "Hi, my name is Another," he said, introducing himself to Brenda. "I'm gonna ask mum if we can name him that. Dad's stuck us all with boring Muggle names."

Probably the two best lines from the fic...

I love this story. A nice take on how Harry was registered since before he was born. 5/5 all the way!

... While a good read, I simply couldnt get into it. Maybe its the bad week Ive had. I may read it again later, but for now 3/5.

I've read this before, and it wasn't quite as funny the second time. Still a good concept and good writing.
