    Rarely do more then snicker at humorous stories but to this I laughed out loud.

    5/5

    This story is good enough and sufficiently accessible for me to recommend it to a few IRL friends, who loved it.

    I think that speaks for itself, really.

    5/5.

    Holy fuck, I laughed a lot at this.

    Possibly the easiest 5/5 I've given.

    The 'why is it orange' line and the twist had me laugh at my screen like an idiot.

    5/5

    Because I'm worried that with all this praise the author will get a big head - 1/5 from me. I'm doing it for your own good, GL. ;)

    I was literally about to edit my post to include 'You know I have to carry this ego around with me?' Lol.

    It does exactly what it sets out to achieve: it made me lol. Hard. For that, you get a 5/5

    5/5. This is the sort of fic we all hoped we would see in April's Humor contest.

    Also, wolf550e left a review on FFN that said,
    Funny indeed, and it makes sense that they would forget. I mean, the reality of the situation sort of, er, cold cocked them in the face. Things were nuts out there.

    Also, Ron can be a dick. :nyan:

    Encouraged by the stream of 5/5's, I tried to read it. It was disappointing. Wouldn't give it more than 2/5.

    It was funny, but not quite that funny. 4/5 from me.

    Had me dying of laughter at the outrageous situation. Especially this,

    Seamus nodded dumbly. Harry, comforted that the rest of the train ride would pass with less incident, patted the dildo that was safely back in his pocket.
    That had been far too close for comfort.

    I read this once way back when in the original thread, and it's still funny as hell. I wish it were longer though, even as a one shot it is very short.

    "'What the fu - ' Hagrid was clearly mouthing as Neville quietly closed the blinds and the train began to move." Is by far the best line in the whole thing.

    4/5 from me.
