Can two divorcees, having been costumed against their will by their offspring, both attend a Halloween party without driving each other crazy? Let’s hope not.

Mostly Harmless! Though I have to admit, I'm even stranger than I appear. ;-) There's a pile of unbeta'd stuff on my LJ (dracfic) if you're interested in Raw, Untamed, fanfic.
Believe it or not, "How Argus Filch Got Wild, Got Laid, and Got His Magic" has been rec'ed by Know It Alls! It's true! They gave me this pretty lil' ribbon and everything! And in March 2007, they saw fit to likewise reccommend (as an antidote to angst) the story that started it all, 'Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey'--just in time for the first anniversary of that story's posting! *hugs Harm*
(I also have to admit that 'mostly harmless' may not be the most apt description of a member of the Mad Chatters...)

I clicked to view the fanart and I got the LiveJournal site. I found reveiws for the picture, but no picture. A very humorous story so far.

I tried the link just now and the pictures were there. Perhaps LJ had a hiccup earlier? 
Thanks very much for reviewing!
And to those nice folks who reviewed and mentioned a desire to see the wedding… Come on. Don’t you think that deserves a fic of its own, instead of a piddly little chapter?So, are the guys going to design the wedding outfts?
Response from dracontia (Author of Ruffled Fathers and a Lot of Grousing: Harry and Draco’s Halloween)
heehee... they've already done what Scorpius & Lily will be wearing (no feathers!). But somehow I don't think they'll be making anything else for Harry & Draco for a very long time... 
I want to know about Ron and Hermione's 5th anniversary party.
Response from dracontia (Author of Ruffled Fathers and a Lot of Grousing: Harry and Draco’s Halloween)
LOL I'm not sure that I do! 
this story has been so much fun, and the ending did not disappoint. i'm sitting here with a big, goofy grin on my face. you are a comic genius, of course, but i also liked how you dealt with their issues with being older, too, their kind of gentleness with each other's frailties. very satisfying.
Response from dracontia (Author of Ruffled Fathers and a Lot of Grousing: Harry and Draco’s Halloween)
*blush* Thank you so much! I really do like them to grow up and put the bad behind them, and if it's funny, so much the better. 
(Though I expect when their skulls are a little less tender, they may find it in themselves to get up a good snark. At the very least, they need an excuse to make up. )
It's just fantastic even if I had to explain my parents why I was gigling in front of my screen where I was supposed to work. And the best part is that I don't have to ask for another chapter ;)
Response from dracontia (Author of Ruffled Fathers and a Lot of Grousing: Harry and Draco’s Halloween)
Thank you kindly! And the best part is, you don't even have to wait for another chapter--because the final one just came back from my dear beta. 
The kids reactions are hilarious!
Response from dracontia (Author of Ruffled Fathers and a Lot of Grousing: Harry and Draco’s Halloween)
Thank you! (I was particularly proud of Scorpius for... taking it so well. )
Jolly good. You realise it took all seven chapters before I realised it said Ruffled FATHERS not Ruffled FEATHERS?
Response from dracontia (Author of Ruffled Fathers and a Lot of Grousing: Harry and Draco’s Halloween)
You realise it took all seven chapters before I realised it said Ruffled FATHERS not Ruffled FEATHERS?Now THAT was the best laugh I've had this weekend. 
*hugs*
Bwah ha ha ha.
Response from dracontia (Author of Ruffled Fathers and a Lot of Grousing: Harry and Draco’s Halloween)
I take it you approve. Thank you!
*gigglesnort*
Response from dracontia (Author of Ruffled Fathers and a Lot of Grousing: Harry and Draco’s Halloween)
The giggle and snort, separately and collectively, are much appreciated.
okay, i've read exactly six paragraphs and have already snorted more than once! more later! *runs off to read rest*
ah, this chapter may have been the most brilliant of all, and that's saying something! i loved all their painful early morning insecurity, which you still managed to make extremely funny. and i laughed so much i can't even pick out favorite moments to highlight. i'm sure, if you thought it might be funny, i giggled at it. i will be very sorry when this is over, so am glad there is another chapter to come.
btw, there is an extra between here: "as if he could coax the headache between from between his eyes"
Response from dracontia (Author of Ruffled Fathers and a Lot of Grousing: Harry and Draco’s Halloween)
Thank you so much! I'm glad it all came through as intended. And thanks for pointing out the mistake, it's now rectified.
Damn right, you can't stop it there, wonderful as it's been so far. You must give us another! (or we shall have to steal Draco and Harry away from you and never let you play with them again)
Response from dracontia (Author of Ruffled Fathers and a Lot of Grousing: Harry and Draco’s Halloween)
No more Harry and Draco? That's not gonna work!Thank you for reviewing!
So hilarious!

Poor them. Waking up with a terrible headache, shocked when they'll discover where they are and with whom more than embarrassed when they'll meet their kids at the breakfast (or lunch) table and definitely mortified when they'll read th emorning paper.I'm looking to read, and most importantly enjoy, that immensely.

Heehee, poor Hermione, her parties don't seem too popular xD Now, wait till the kiddies see what Papa and Father have been up too....... xD
Response from dracontia (Author of Ruffled Fathers and a Lot of Grousing: Harry and Draco’s Halloween)
Hermione has reasons for her... um... party style--which would constitute sufficient fodder for a crackfic of their own! (No, I'm not going to write that one. There will be a brief allusion to it in the final chapter. LOL)Thanks for reviewing!

well, i was getting ready to go to bed when i saw you had updated, so naturally i HAD to read it NOW! i really enjoyed the drunken consummation. i laughed, i sighed, and maybe some other things. *looks shifty* and now i'm really looking forward to the morning after. :D
Response from dracontia (Author of Ruffled Fathers and a Lot of Grousing: Harry and Draco’s Halloween)
Morning after is in the process of being made presentable. *pretends not to notice anything after 'I laughed'* Thanks very much for reviewing!

O M G! you have definitly plummeted over the edge into crackfic 
. Harry and Draco are already three sheets to the wind, and now that Millie has worked out who "mister nice arse" is, all is set for a wonderful evening. 
Response from dracontia (Author of Ruffled Fathers and a Lot of Grousing: Harry and Draco’s Halloween)
Yup! Just like going over Niagra Falls in a barrel! (Or in this case, is it... Viagra Falls? 
)Indeed, many wonders await this evening. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
Interesting story! I like Harry/Draco fics, and I hope they "hook up"!
Response from dracontia (Author of Ruffled Fathers and a Lot of Grousing: Harry and Draco’s Halloween)
We shall see. Thanks for reviewing!

I LOVE your Millie. LOVE her.
Response from dracontia (Author of Ruffled Fathers and a Lot of Grousing: Harry and Draco’s Halloween)
There's more of her to love in Chapter 3.

o.m.g. i laughed so hard i woke my cat up! i just loved it, from harry and his heart-shaped arse, to luna and her costume, to draco and millicent and her costume and everything. am looking forward EVEN MORE to the next. :D
Response from dracontia (Author of Ruffled Fathers and a Lot of Grousing: Harry and Draco’s Halloween)
Thanks much (and apologies to the kitty)! We'll budge up and make some room at the bar for you in Chapter 3.

ROFL!! Millie makes a perfect fag hag!
Response from dracontia (Author of Ruffled Fathers and a Lot of Grousing: Harry and Draco’s Halloween)
She's pouring her heart and soul into the audition. Let's all vote for Millie!

Poor Harry, even after twenty five years, Luna has the power to surprise him. Your Millie sounds spectacular, I hope she leads Draco astray. Did I spot a subtle nod to Reggie?
Response from dracontia (Author of Ruffled Fathers and a Lot of Grousing: Harry and Draco’s Halloween)
This hapless pair would be hopeless without the witches in their lives. They'll have to settle for Luna & Millie contributing when they can, since their wives finally gave up after a couple of tiring decades!And of course I'll always have a soft spot for Jarveys, the little wankers.
Response from mick42 (Reviewer)
So does my grandson, I told him a very, VERY, censored 
version, he saw the drawing of Reggie on your home page and wanted to know who she was, and he loves her. P.S. he calls it a blue story, because of the TPP page colour, "out of the mouths of babes"
Response from dracontia (Author of Ruffled Fathers and a Lot of Grousing: Harry and Draco’s Halloween)
Blue Story! LOL!!! That's too perfect!
Damn it. Sorry about the double post, my computer had a hissy fit.
Response from dracontia (Author of Ruffled Fathers and a Lot of Grousing: Harry and Draco’s Halloween)
That's OK, the duplicate gives me a buffer against a peculiar review on the unanswered list I don't quite feel I can address! (I like to call it 'the definition of TMI.')
