    Title: Magical Joys
    Author: Ragin' Cajun
    Rating: R
    Genre: Angst/Other
    DLP Category: General
    Pairing: Harry/Fem!Blaise
    Chapters: 1
    Words: 10,699
    Published: June 10, 2008
    Status: Abandoned, was planned as a twoshot, though could count as oneshot.
    Summary: "I remember it was just before the portkey ride that the drugs started to kick in. Soon enough, the notably large and determinedly unhealthy amount of chemicals in our body took hold. We were lost." The first of a two-part series.

    Here's a story about drug abuse in the magical world, specifically the five guys in the Gryffindor dorm who stuck with it even after Hogwarts. Starts out rather funny, but quickly turns sad. I normally wouldn't post an angst story, but while Harry Potter and company are the characters, this almost sets the scene for many teenagers and older adults.

    We all know someone who does drugs, some of you even smoke weed (not that I'd consider that a 'drug'). I suppose this is what can stem from it. Bravo on the tale, Ragin' Cajun/Jenkins.

    If it helps, Ginny offs herself. I laughed about that.

    First Crack!Harry fic. The author managed to make the fall into drugs realistic.

    I'll rate this one a 4/5 for the writing style. The subject matter and situations just don't appeal to me.

    Magical Joys' or Magical Falls?

    It wasn't bad. Ginny offen herself was pretty good and added a little more zeal to the seal that this fic has a more serious idea and angsted up with the little bits of something new.

    I dont see much of the whole Traffic'in stuff through the Wizarding world but just thinking of that little bastard who steals a bunch of Black paraphenalia...

    Anywho, not bad, but Im not currently in the mood for darknes... which is wierge because I love some of Bil's stuff...

    I have to say it's quite an original concept; I have yet to see a fiction where Harry Potter uses drugs for a release especially during pre-war times.

    Even if Ginny was grieving over Seamus it still made me satisfied when she fucked herself over. :/

    Funnily enough I thought this was going to be a one-shot for some reason, pleasantly surprised that it's on-going though. I’m looking forward to the next chapter.

    'Tis a two-shot as far as I know. Or was going to be. Think Jenkins abandoned it. ;_;

    Meh, that was just a bit of shat-out writing I wrote at two in the morning. I was thinking about the plotline as I fell asleep during a rotary meeting tonight, and I'm semi-inspired to start it up again. It's not technically abandoned just yet. My other fail-fest story is though, so maybe with more attention on this one here I can do something about it.

    And Oz...will you be my beta? :D

    Good memories..
