    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.

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

    I agree - Samvimes is one of those authors who produce brilliant and enjoyable work each time. This is an amusing and easy read, and well worth it. 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

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

    I've read this before, and it wasn't quite as funny the second time. Still a good concept and good writing.
    4/5
