Sheer genius! I loved the dynamics between the characters. It was intriguing because they're now all friends, and yet the interactions between them are still basically the same as in canon, i.e., Lucius and Arthur are still rivals, as are Sirius and Severus, Tom and Dumbledore still have an edge to their relationship, etc. And how you've magic-fied ten-pin bowling and the bowling alley scene is ingenious. The use of goblins as pin-setters, apparating the balls back, the rental shoes/balls, the foods and drinks involved. Fantastic attention to detail! It all felt SO real! Lovely job! I'm definitely adding this to my favorites!

Author's Response: Thank you! Ironically, I just did this story on a lark, as a contest entry -- plus the random trivia that Dumbledore liked tenpin bowling. Never dreamed it would be such a success :) I wrote this in one evening, and tweaked it in a second evening. My favorite is the Snape fan club, hee hee!

What a Hoot! I put this in my Faves so I'll always be able to laugh. Thank you for sharing this with us!

Author's Response: Glad to share :) I'm always amazed -- and pleased at the response I get to this crazy little fic. It had started off as a writing contest entry that I whipped out, that's the goofy thing. Thanks for the review!

OMFG ROTF LOL and many other such abbreviations. I am DEAD from the funniness. The best part was Dawg Starr, I think. Sirius needs groupies too! Or better yet, give them to Remus and watch him squirm uncomfortably and try to get rid of them but be too polite to do anything effective to them... I'm still laughing over it.

I liked this story so much! I hope you don't mind, but I wrote a fairly sad story that's currently posted on Occlumency, and figured that my readers would be pretty depressed by the time they finished it. So in my author's notes at the end of that story, I told them that if they needed cheering up, they should come here and read this! "If Only..." is not just very, very funny, it's also very sweet - with everyone getting along so well. Funniest thing in it? "Dawg Starr" OMG, I laughed so hard at that! :D Great story!

Author's Response: Heavens! I don't mind--I'm flattered! Thank you!

I thought your story was just brilliant. I love the "What If" stories. Snape having a bunch groupies was great too (Can I join?)

Author's Response: Sure! The more the merrier :D

Funny piece! I've always been fascinated by the Chocolate Frog card reference to Dumbledore enjoying ten pin bowling. I like it when authors take a minor canon point and run with it. And this proves that Snape is "in league" with Tom Riddle, along with the rest of the Order. :-) Very nice work!

Author's Response: Thanks! Yes, I had to use that bit of info on Dumbledore. It just fit so well...and Tom needed taken down a peg!

Well that was different :-) Better to throw balls than curses? Very cute.

Author's Response: Like I said, it was an insane plot bunny! Thanks!
