Haha, the puns were clever. I loved this!

Thank you! I was a little apprehensive about the puns... I know a lot of people HATE them, to be honest, I don't really like them all that much, but for some strange reason in my mind, my Draco is a pun machine. And, like my Harry, I find it a bit endearing.

Oooh, this was really cute. I loved every minute of it - very clever.

[bemygoodday]

Thank you very much!

Haha, this was such fun! I loved the snark and the humour, even the bad Draco-humour was great. xD Ron had, what - one line? And it was brilliant and funny. And your use of the prompt was quite clever, I think. Also, the ending made me melt with happy thoughts. *silly grins*

I'm glad you liked the humour! I'm not always sure it's coming across the way I hear/say things in my head :)

Thank you for reading and commenting!

Hilarious! This was brilliant :) Bad puns, a scheme, and naked Draco are pretty much the makings of a good story. I also loved that you put in a warning about the puns, I found myself getting excited for them to turn up. Good job with the dialogue, it worked well to move the story along quickly (which seemed to be your goal?).

[bemygoodday]

I feel guilty that someone was looking forward to the puns and I only ended up keeping two of them in the story! Thank you for reading and commenting!

Simply hilarious. I love the structure of this, the layering of reality, pensieve memory, deja vu and deception. And really, I adore your Department of Mysteries and Draco's job - whatever it was what he was doing down there. This brilliant idea alone is really worth more exploration in a sequel or another story. And yes, the puns were pretty bad. Points were, of course, given for each and every one of them :-). Thanks for writing!

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

I guess my idea of Draco's job title is something along the lines of: Official Department of Mysteries Guide and All Around Go-To Guy For Things Therin. I remember thinking while reading the books that it would be a horrible place to be lost and that they must have people who know how to get around down there without incident. And, with all of the strange and important things that seemed to be housed there, I figured there also had to be someone that actually kind of knew what most of it was and where it was located.

I think I might make something bigger of this idea in the future, with more puns, of course. :)
