    Fun fic to read. Perhaps not of JBern quality or the like, but still a fair cut above the vast majority of shite to be found nowadays. Couple of cliches, but nothing horrendously overplayed. Had me grinning through most of the story. A nice little time waster. 3.5/5

    ah, didn't realise. Just Searched the author's name before posting, didn't go through the Mercenary thread. Cheers anyway.

    Different story, Different thread is fine.

    4/5

    Better than average if an obvious follow-on story.

    This definitely doesn't belong in the Library. Every single character in here was stale; classic bitch!Hermione, evilforthegreatergood!Dumbledore, perfect!Harry, the only different thing about it was that Ron wasn't stupid and jealous of Harry's power/prestige.

    The only somewhat redeeeming quality is that it is readable with decent grammar.

    2/5

    A quote from Andy "Cretin" Warhol to start things off and then I read this:

    Who uses numbers in the middle of prose? Then four paragraphs later, bam, "over 9000 galleons" or words to that effect. Then as Perfection pointed out it descended into a incoherent mess of stale clichéd characterizations, JBern references and parselmouth magic.

    Not for me.

    2/5

    It wasn't as amusing as the first one, but it was still pretty decent. I give this one a 4/5

    If I was going to rate this based on objective quality, it'd be about a 3/5. I went into this knowing DobbyElfLord's writing style, I knew what to expect, and I was chuckling throughout. Some of the cliches were annoying, but frankly they don't grind my gears hugely, and I liked that the final pairing was hinted at throughout but never really took center stage.

    If we used half points, it'd be 4.5/5, but I'd say 4/5 overall. It's not a great story, but I had fun reading it.
