"Though the procedure sounds somewhat unhygienic, I'm certain Miss Granger will wash the portion of her anatomy in question beforehand."
"Professor Sprout reports that she and Professor Firenze have come to an arrangement, and says that next term we should save "an appreciable amount" on fertilizer."
...Should it bother me that the two lines that most slayed me both involve posteriors? Ah, well. This is a wonderful piece. :) The memo format I thought was very effective and IC for Dumbledore; in fact, the whole thing was just Dumbledore being his subtle, charming, hilarious self, which made for a very nice read. Please do keep writing, and thank you so much for the laughs. ;) |

| If youi would have presented this as a meeting / speech, with minor interuptions, it would have come off a lot better. |

"Though the procedure sounds somewhat unhygienic, I'm certain Miss Granger will wash the portion of her anatomy in question beforehand."
This brought tears of laughter to my little eyes. *thumbs up*
The whole thing is hilarious! Gods, I should have people plug their stuff more often - otherwise I'd never come across this fic! *adds to faves*

Heh. Heheh... HEHEEEE Wonderful! It's brilliantly witty, and so like Dumbledore! I absolutely loved it, I don't even have a favorite part, it was all just so wonderful. Well, the bit about Severus not needing to thank the twins personally, and Hagrid not needing to return Umbridge's things himself and be friendly like, and and and... the list goes ever on.
Nice work |

Very, very funny! I am still chuckling over Fred and George being thanked - "thoroughly" - and Firenze's "lapse".
What a shame Hagrid couldn't cheer Dolores up with a pet Skrewt! |

| Hahaha! This was great. You captured Dumbledore's manner of expressing himself very well. I loved his little hints about thanking the Weasley twins and Firenze's "incidents." This is one fic I'll be happy to read again and again. |

| Funny, funny, funny! To an elementary school teacher, this is worth a good belly laugh. I've received memos like this one (though not as humorous) over the years and really enjoyed Dumbledore's reaction to all his "loose ends". This is cleverly written and altogether enjoyable. |

You see, this is what happens when I read well-written comedy while I'm supposed to be working. My supervisor wanders over and says, "Oh, something funny about that memo?"
Thanks. |

| Hahah! Not sure what else I can say. I love these kinds of stories that are written like a note or memo. The remarks about Severus thanking the Weasleys personally and not applying for the DADA position were right on. Great work! |

Well, I read Flashback, and decided I better go back and read your other stuff too.
I'm glad I did. THis little letter is perfect.
I must confess, I was a bit confused about the flies in the Ministry cafeteria.

| *giggle* If Lupin goes back to being the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, then Hogwarts would be a veritable menagerie- well, at least on full moons! House-elves of varying degrees of sanity, a centaur, a werewolf, all sorts of owls, a couple nasty cats(what if Crookshanks met Mrs. Norris an' they fell in love? BEWARE! Oy, it's a new ship-thingy!), a phoenix, ghosts, some people who're weirder than all the creatures put together, and other assorted beasts, beings, and everything in between. Thank the gods Dumbledore thinks daily life is all a big joke and only takes the biggies seriously, or it'd be far too much for someone so old. "This is your Transfiguration teacher. This is your Transfiguration teacher on catnip." Oh, yeah, Gred and Forge- did'ja turn Snape into a canary? *grin* |

Great!! I really like the concept, and you did a great job carrying that concept out.
Favorite lines:
>>It will not be necessary, Severus, for you to go to Diagon Alley, and "thank them personally", as you have so kindly offered to do. <<
>>Severus, I take it that you will not be applying for the position again this year?<<
>>Though the procedure sounds somewhat unhygienic, I'm certain Miss Granger will wash the portion of her anatomy in question beforehand.<<
Sorry, I'll stop before I jut copy the entirety.
Good work!! |

[Also, no, I do not believe that she would like a pet Skrewt.] *snert*
This was hysterically funny and just a little bit naughty! I had great fun reading this. I'd love to see another one of these, perhaps after 2nd year? I'm sure you would do a great job spoofing Lockhart. |

| LOL! I have to admit it took me a few minutes to figure out what "task" Marietta has to perform to undo Hermione's charm, but when I did I laughed like a hyena. (Scared the cat in the process.) Also loved the bit about Firenze providing fertilizer for the greenhouse, that was positively inspired. Funny, funny stuff all the way through! |

Dear me, what sort of 'treats' did the Weasley's leave for the staff? And I hope they left the antidotes?
And I shudder to think what would happen if Severus did go to 'thank' Fred and George in person. Madame Pomfrey might be very unhappy with the results, no matter what
"Also, the Ministry cafeteria has received many complaints from other members of the Ministry about the presence of live flies on the menu. " -- Ah-ha-ha! And whose doing was that?? Minerva's? She needs to moonlight with the Brothers Weasley!
I rather think the plants in Prof. Sprouts care will grow *very* well with Centaur fertilizer! :-D
Well done and thank you so much for the laughs! |

Hee hee! This little note really did make me laugh out loud, especially as you really captured the voice of Dumbledore. My particular favourites are these lines:
"It will not be necessary, Severus, for you to go to Diagon Alley, and "thank them personally", as you have so kindly offered to do. They have been thanked. Thoroughly."
"I would like to remind everyone that we will, once again, be looking for a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher for next term. I would be delighted to consider any recommendations you might have for candidates for the job. When we have selected a suitable candidate, I will broach with him or her the subject of appointing Mr. Harry Potter as Assistant Defense Against the Dark Arts instuctor
Severus, I take it that you will not be applying for the position again this year?"
Bwhahahaha!
Very good. |
