    Drabbles, for any who don't know, are usually exactly 100 words, but have also come to mean just really short little fics. Here we have a meeting between a wizard and a MiB.

    Men in Black and Men in Black II are movies. You probably have to have seen one of 'em to understand the humor.

    Reccing it because it takes approximately 55 seconds to read, but I found it hilarious. (Especially since part of me wants to say the wizard is Dumbledore, a conclusion arrived at purely by the prompting of his clothes.) Plus, first HP/MiB crossover I've seen. ^_^

    Lol. That could cause a problem, wonder how long the two of them could keep that going.

    It gave me a moments amusement, so mission accomplished. It would be nice if the author tried out a longer MIB/HP-story.

    Vaguely amusing idea. Some of his/her other drabbles are interesting too. Nothing to write home about, but worth the minute or so it takes to read.

    That was amusing. That kept me amused for about 15 seconds.

    Really would be interesting to see a MiB/HP crossover as a novel.

    Pretty original, pretty funny; definitely worth the 30 seconds it took to read it.

    I like it, it's the sort of thing that you can read over, and over, and over...

    It's a funny idea. But that's all. Just the one. I suppose that's the point of a drabble, to avoid that complicated and messy second idea.

    I didn't exactly find it hilarious, but I would agree it is as amusing as the effort it takes to read. Really the only bad thing you can say about it, is that I've put more effort in this response now than writing the drabble may have taken.

    Though I think I've seen a MiB crossover before. I can't remember (no pun intended). I do remember in Ruskbyte's 'Flying Without a Broom', the american aurors/obliviators are Men In Black, but not exactly the same as the movie.
