You may not like writing humor but while it's not bitingly funny or laugh-out-loud absurd, it's one of the nicest fics I've read in a while just because of how convoluted everything gets and how much Harry's exasperation seeps through. Good job.

I loved it. Of course, I love watching reruns of Bewitched & I Dream of Jeanie as well, so I was bound to love this I guess. It kind of reminded me of a scene from an I Dream of Jeanie episode where they look into a possible future scenario if Jeanie and Major Nelson were to marry: that while Jeanie might loose her powers, it's possible their children might be Jeanies, and their future daughter casts a spell on their future son's fire truck to cause it to fly in front of Dr. Bellows and his wife.

At the same time, it also reminded me of a Bewitched episode where Tabitha turns an older boy into a Bull dog because the boy's being mean and won't share all of his toys (and the mother lets him walk all over her).

Ah... good memories. Of course I'd never advise watching Bewitched shows all one after another (especially the later series) as they tend to get formulaic. However I love watching the first two seasons over and over again.

Yes, I loved the story. I'm adding it to my favorites on the Rec Engine.

Ha! I loved this story. Poor Harry. Dragons, hundreds of dementors, death-eater, dark lords, basilisks.....but two small children and two very pesky neighbors...nope. Can't handle that. And really who can blame him. Yeah, poor Harry.

Ahaha, that was a great story. I think you did a great job with the plot. It might not have been as light as you wanted, but it worked. I liked how you threw Ron in there, that was awesome =)

Enjoyable story! Amusing to have Hary refer to other sixties shows like Mr. Ed and 'I Dream of Jenie' (don't think I spelt the name right there).

For some reason I particularly liked Luna in this one. From their noting the "the long, blonde hair framing a pair of eyes so prominent" onwards, the girl who noted calmly that she could 'talk to dogs' was a fun part of the story. Reminds me of *my* favourite 60s show, "My Favourite Martian", and the several episodes where Uncle Martin talked to dogs, actually! :-)

Good of you, also, to make Ron an expert in his field, someone to respect. Also amusing the various occasions where the responsibilities in the R/L household were made clear.

Were you being evil here and trying to tease us, resurrecting that fandom theory that Dumbledore is actually Ron Weasley, traveled back through time? That's one hypothesis she's actually formally debunked on her web site.

Amusing story!

Thank you very much for doing this. I didn't realize I was an exception, and I thank you profusely. Credit where it's due, however, the idea was my mother's, but I was working on my own story, "Confused" and simply didn't have time. (Those of you who are reading it know that I hardly have time to write my own story ) Thus we're both very thankful and I'm glad everyone here loved it too. I hope to do a sequel some day, but...

Once again, thank you very much!

It's funny. I like the old Bewitched show, so this is a hit with me.

Looking forward to your other stories.

are you sure thqt this wasn't a plot cooked up by the third generation of marauders?

Good! Sadly, not truly big in the humor department but a well crafted short story — and that's really often better (and rarer) than a big boffo joke. I'll take it almost any day.
Keep writing; focus on your strengths. Humor and pathos and worlds of emotions will come through as the story unfolds.

Sounds like Ron never quite got his fill of adventure after adventure.

LOL - you did a great job with the comedy! I'm with you though - it is much harder to write than angst is! I'm glad you did this though and I look forward to reading your next one soon!

Very maddening indeed and loved it . Only Harry and Hermione could have a child like that. Giggles really enjoyed it.

As an old fan of bewitched (reruns, though, I wasn't around when they first aired) I recognized the plot, but it came accross a little less light-hearted than the old show. This was a bit heavy toned for comedy - angsty even.

I am impressed with the dialogue, the pacing, and the general use of language. While I'm not normally into too much angst, and I suspect your other stories are gonna be angst heavy, I'm gonna take a look at 'em, anyway.

Thank you for sharing this story with us, and keep up the good work.

Very cute, and an enjoyable read. Nothing like a change of pace to clear the metaphorical palate. Good work!
