This was totally awesome!!!! I was literally laughing out loud many, many times during this story. Of course I didn't realize right away what was wrong with him. This story is awesome, I'm going to recommend a couple of my friends read it!

| Oh.....my.....word. WAY TO GO! That was hysterical. I swear, I won't be able to stop laughing for the rest of the day. I'm just sitting here giggling. I loved it! It fits so perfectly. Oh, *dear*, just imagine poor Moody as that teenager, his wand in his back pocket, tripping, and then..... *laughs and laughs and laughs and laughs* I'll never be able to read Moody's scenes in canon again without exploding into sniggers. |

This is AWESOME. I'm laughing hysterically right now (Note: do not laugh while eating crackers. That hurt.) I love the ending line, and the references to Moody's DADA prof.
I say again. This is awesome. |

[“If you’re that good an Auror, you should be able to avoid hexes,” said Poppy acerbically.] Spoken like the true, no nonsence woman Poppy is.
Terriffic missing moment! Very funny and it's the little touches that make this believable, like Moody grumbling about getting advice from a man with a flowerpot attached to his head. A wonderfully fun read. |

What a fun piece to read. You made me smile. I can just picture the cantankerous Alastor Moody as a rebellious teen pulling a stupid stunt like putting his wand where it shouldn’t be and growing up to rue the day he stuck it there.
I like how you portrayed Poppy. She’s very believable and has the gift of good rapport with young people. |

| Hilarious. Although in my mind I see Moody as being much older than Madam Pomfrey, b/c he was recalled from retirement, and that to me means he's at least 70 or more. Whereas Poppy, I see her as 40-ish or so. But no matter, I did think Moody must have lost a buttock doing smthg stupid, and your take on a teenage Alastor is really quite funny. |

| This was so clever and funny. I can just hear mothers all over wizardom telling their children not to stick their wands in their pockets!! I like the idea of Moody being surly and tough-acting as a boy, and that his mother is just as tough as he is. As the mother of a boy, I can tell you from experience that you have to be as tough as they are. I'm still laughing. Thanks! |

I can't decide what made me laugh the most. It's a toss up between "Not everybody wants to be an Auror!" or young Al complaining about his paranoid DADA teacher "ranting about being vigilant." Very, very funny stuff!
Just a minor quibble from somebody who's nearly old enough to remember. I think the early 60's were a bit too soon for flared jeans - that was more a stovepipe pants type of era. Flares made their ghastly appearance around 1966ish. But, maybe young Al's so cool, that he's ahead of the fashion. :) |

| I've been trying to figure out what makes this story so snort-your-tea-all-over-your-keyboard funny, since we've got an injured child, an anxious mum, and a baffled doctor here. Maybe it's that the title harks back to one of the funniest lines in OotP. Maybe it's the deftness with which you've drawn the characters--the young nurse and the embarrassed boy whose future careers we know...Mrs. Moody's spot-on mix of worry and fury...and the impossibility of holding on to your dignity when you are a teenage boy with a hovering mother and half a behind. Or maybe it was young Alastor's discovery that there was something cool about a missing buttock after all. Whatever it is, "Better Wizards than You" is a treat I'm glad to see at the Quill. |

| Merlin, that was amazing. I loved the humor- missing buttock, haha!!! Great use of the quote from OotP, this is hilarious! I love how you placed Poppy in the story as well, and I do love your characteristics of Al and Poppy when they were teens. Write more, and congrats on being accepted at the Sugar Quill! ^_^ |

Great story! I really enjoyed the characters. I also liked how you had him learning his "Constant Vigilance" stuff from his DADA teacher.
Very enjoyable. |

Dear WiccaRowan,
Great first story... my beta hasn't gotten back to me yet. Very ingenious. I love it. Poppy's cool.
Poppy’s gaze travelled down the young man’s back, following the line of the sheets to the point where there was a shocking, unexpected dip.
OH MY GOSH SO FUNNY! Shocking dip eh? One little thing... I don't really think boys would be wearing jeans with flares, however if it's the 60's you never know... Have fun at the Quill!!!
