    That ending was actually completely unexpected for me. Saying anything else will ruin it. 4/5

    It was a bit twisted, but parts made me laugh.... worth a quick read. It was nothing to special though.

    3.5/5

    I didn't like the ending back then, I still don't. For being a pointless crackfic I can't give more than 2/5.

    Having Romilda be a good quidditch player was so random... It started off well, but I didn't like Malfoy's character when he attacked Harry. I can't imagine that he would have given up after failing to kill him once - and then he goes to give up again?? The story barely holds itself together. A series of coincidences (which can be okay) but, these were interlaced with missing lines. Details that you just have to fill in - for example Malfoy only turns around because Harry makes a sound, or Harry didn't leave the room of requirement "for a long time" because... because... he was waiting for the polyjuice time to run out? I don't even know.

    I had to read the ending five times because it was actually Romilda Vane who cast that stupefy?! 2/5

    I was interested in the premise but the execution was disappointing. In particular the last half felt pretty forced. 3.

    It was written decently enough. But god the execution was stupid as hell. Hasn't this already been up for review already anyway?

    There seems to be different sequences of events that rely on our suspension of belief to accept; which doesn't a good story make.

    The grammatical side of the story was acceptable, however this doesn't excuse the characters acting OOC.

    Cheers
