    Potter Law is not the be-all and end-all of fanfiction. -__- Many good fics break it.

    Is that it? Potter Law is optional? You know, I agree with you, but seriously, why would anyone break the law over this fic?

    Never mind. I've decided that 'Serious business' must be DLP code for 'time to fuck with the noobs'

    There's no other explanation I can think of. No story should have author's notes in the middle of the text for chrissakes. There's just no tolerating that shit. Not even for a dementor semen staff, as much as that cracks me up.

    The author's sister should be writing this. Dementor semen? That shit is brilliant.

    Yes. The author is probably a troll, no doubt. I highly doubt this broad is even going to med school.

    I actually had that (with another twist thrown in) as a wand component in a story I was writing a few years ago... but that story was purposely being written as a parody of HP fanfic clichés.

    An entire chapter was devoted to the stereotypical shopping spree. Highlights included, of course, buying the magical trunk mansion, books on uber-magic from Flourish and Blotts, and getting a second wand in Knockturn Alley.

    It also took potshots at Time Travel, Ron, Vampires in Little Whinging, Friendly Goblins, Ron, Griphook, MaleVeela!Draco, Multiple Animagus Forms Harry Never Uses, Ron, Machiavellian Dumbledore, Written Parseltongue, Memory Downloads from the Future, Ron, and how Rape in Hogwarts is Like Saying Hello.

    But yeah, I'm not sure if I should feel smug or annoyed that something I thought up as an original idea for a parody of bad fanfic ended up getting used in actual bad fanfic. Maybe I was using my Inner Eye (while this author seems to be using their 'Brown Eye').
