    One of the best one-shots I've ever read, this combines mystery with good ole psychological horror.

    Isn't this posted already? =\
    I'm severely surprised if it isn't, since this is one of the old classics and has been around for years!
    Anyway, it's a great read and I donate a 5/5 for the sake of it.

    Wasn't it the same author who wrote "Harry Potter and the Puzzle box" or something to that extent? (That's at least what the story is about, a magical puzzle box that summons some creepy dudes when completed)

    I believe you are thinking of Evil Be Thou Good by Ruskbyte an author of much better quality than this one. I give the story 3/5.

    I'm sorry, but I have no clue what the review means.

    I thought this was really rather grand. It manages to lull you into think one thing, then through you something totally unexpected. The fic does, however, seem to over use technology. Purebloods Ron and Ginny have a cell-phones? Harry drives to work, rather then apperate? He wears a coat instead of a cloak to his (presumabley) magical job? Not to mention that he wears trousers at this job! All that needs to be fixed, it just doesn't work for me.

    Because of those deviations from anything resembling cannon, I'm only able to give this fic a 4/5.

    The mystery would have held for me had Caliburn not revealed the twist. POVs could get confusing but the psychological factor was well done.

    Paranoid!Ginny gets on my nerves but that's how I see her: the eternal annoying, scheming ex-girlfriend.

    There are some good lines not pertaining to the plot specifically.

    I like reading about Ginny's unrequited love for Harry.

    I just liked that line for some reason lol. I hope guys don't think I molest them when I look at them. 0_0

    Still, reading about Harry having buttsecks with a dead Draco was pretty funny, considering that you're supposed to think that the blond was a girl.
    3/5 for a good lightly perverse twist.

    I think it was brilliant.

    A masterpiece in the realm of sick and perverse.

    Even better than Vash and Le Office. (apologies)

    5/5

    Edit: Caliburn, PLEASE use spoiler tags. You ruined a great story for me.

    They do, they just don't care. Even if he's in a committed relationship, a guy having a girl check him out is an ego boost. We don't mind if you're eyefucking us, it just gives us power. More women should embrace that idea, when someone lusts after you in even the smallest way you hold power over them.
