Yay, this was for my prompt :)

This was a really fun story, light-hearted but still able to draw you into the character's lives. I loved that it wasn't just about Draco and Harry, and that their friends were all involved as well.

I really liked that it took them time to get over their past animosity, and that McGonagall's plan for bonding worked ;D

Loved this! And I especially giggled at the line "The good thing about Greg was that he rarely got spooked, which meant he could tell him things like I've tried to cast an Unforgivable on a parrot and get a calm response".

But have I missed something? I can't see any drawings! Where are they?

Such a fun and cute fic! Draco's POV was great, and Robert the parrot and why he was there was a really nice touch. So much entertaining interaction between the students, and the scene where Draco and Harry switch ties was lovely! :D

This was fantastic! I loved Pansy following Hermione around and trying to maintain some dignity even while she knew she was willingly giving it all up. All the characters were just great. I really enjoyed this!
