Great "missing moment" and plausible explanation of how Snape got the dueling club job. Your Flitwick is excellent, makes me realize how underappreciated (and under-used) the character is in canon and fandom.
Oh Shadowycat ... you are fab. You have brightened my evening again!
Hahaha. That's so funny. I love it.
That was hilarious, and pleasantly well written :) I've been trying to find a good fanfic all day and this really brightened my mood. Well done!
Oooh, this is good! this is VERY good!!
This was hilarious! A perfect missing moment scene. Thanks for writing it.
Great stuff. Nice to see a good Filius fic and Lockhart was beautifully done. Plus a nicely in-character Minerva. Reading this was a lovely start to the day. Thanks!
Hah! I love Filius and Minerva, and of course Gilderoy was amusingly full of himself.
Just the laugh I needed today!! I agree with another reviewer. Please write about how Snape accepted the challange.
Very funny! Everyone was in character and I like the ending. I'd always thought it was a bit strange how Lockhart had managed to chose Snape as his not-so-lovely 'assistant' for the duelling club (apart from the fact that suited the plot!). This is a very plausible and amusing explanation.
Oh, Flitwick *rocks* -- he's one of those underappreciated characters for whom I've always had a soft spot, and it's nice to see him kicking some butt for once. And Gilderoy is his usual exquisitely annoying self. I think Minerva's reactions were the funniest part, though -- I can imagine most of the staff must have been just about at the end of their ropes by this point in Lockhart's tenure, and you capture it hilariously.
Such a cute story! And very believable - I can see Lockhart doing something so clueless. He's very IC here, and it's great to get a glimpse of Flitwick's character.
Excellent little bit of fanfiction. I can totally see this scene actually happening - it's almost an extension of canon! And you've captured Lockhart's blustering well.
LMAO I love it! Wonderful!
*snort* *lol* that was fun. *snicker* Lockhart getting what he so richly deserves is always of the good.. *weg*
And here we go - I've got a new story for my "favourites". ;-) It's a great piece with just catching the characters very well. Your Lockheart is perfect! I really could see and hear him in his boasting tone. And Flitwick ... well, you know, I start dreaming now. Wouldn't you like to write a Flitwick story once? I think I'd love that.
Please, do a Snape reply. How he excepted the duel.
*Snicker, snicker* hehe.. "Realy? Did I get that mixed up? How Unfortunate." Yes, unfortunate, indeed.. ha! Trelawney, champion? A snowball's chance in hell!
fun, fun, fun! loved the last line, just classic!
That was certainly excellent! A very canon Lockhart, one that I enjoyed immensely! Keep up the good work!! *still chuckling at the image of Gilderoy distracted by his own reflection*
I absolutely love this fic! It's clever and it made me chuckle. Can't imagine anything that ammuses me more than to see Lockhart get knocked on his arse more often! :)
I LOVE this story. It's brilliant! Hilarious! Not in need of another single thing to make it enjoyable. It's so rare to find good clean fun on this site. Nicely done!
This was cute, I find it quite belivable after all none of the teachers seemed to like Lockheart.
