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...)

You have written one of my favorite sentences in all fan fiction in this little story (which was a lot of fun to read, by the way, and just what I needed today!) Apparently, Malfoy composure had limits, and suprise frog shit crossed the line." I laughed so hard after I read that line! A whole bunch of the Harry Potter universe fell into place for me after reading that single sentence! Thanks!
Frogs? Poor Harry, well at least he gets Draco. This was funny and cute.

Thank you! Yes, I thought that Draco made for an improvement over the witch with Mad Frog Disease. 
LOL! This was funny. Poor Harry, being interrogated like that. The Frog Lady sounds crazy, but the frog crapping on her shoulder was hilarious. Awesome!!Cheers ~~Stef

Thanks very much! And really, that lady got off easy with just a bit o' amphibian manure, considering what she put us--but mainly 'Harry'--through! (So much for a quiet train ride... LOL)

Oh, dear lord, there are people like Frog Lady in every walk of life, aren't there? And here I thought defecting to the wizarding community (via marriage to Severus Snape who never died, of course) would have earned me a reprieve from some of those sort. Appears not. Still, I shall have to shag him.
Now, onto your story: Brilliant! (said just like in the Guiness commercials!!!) Loved every frickin' word, you are a comic genius -- have I said that already? Nose too far up your arse?
Excellent. And if you ever feel the desire to give us that Friday night dinner, we'll be waiting.
Author's Response: I have to admit, this incident aside, my interactions with Muggles have been mostly agreeable. (My Draco seems to attract little old ladies who ask cutely clueless questions about wizarding things and the occasional amusedly mystified reporter.)
Harry, alas, seems to attract Frog Ladies.
I'm glad that you liked it! *clings pathetically, lovingly to the 'genius' part of the review*
(No plot bunnies for the Friday date as yet, but there is always the possibility that I'll wake up to find one clinging to my ankle. LOL!)
ROFL. Crazy!

Indeed! Thanks for reviewing. :)

LOL. This is funny. I love the frog-lady. I think there are about a million people like that about, just not with animated frogs on them. Very well depicted, definite recognitions factor. i also like having Harry and Draco on friendly terms from the get-go. Not too common and a nice change of pace in the dynamics. All in all, very good. Thank you!

A million? Even with the world population busting 6 billion, that seems a slightly scary percentage. And yet, it makes it all the more remarkable that of all the lounge cars in all the trains, she had to... well, you know. :DI'm partial to neutral/cordial post-school Harry & Draco simply because I can't stand the [canon!!] tendency of all characters to cling for dear life to their every obnoxious childhood trait! Thanks very much for the review!

too funny! well, if the obnoxious woman had not cornered you both, we wouldn't have gotten to read this ridiculous piece of frivolity, and i do love ridiculous frivolity, and you, my dear, are genius at it. not to mention, i really don't ship harry/draco (i swear, really i don't!) but in your hands i find them absolutely irresistible. :D

Thank you so much--glad you enjoyed it! (Heck, having SOMEONE enjoy it is the only thing that redeems the situation! LOL) It's kind of one of those making lemonade out of lemons things without any of the fandom connotations of citrus. Hee hee... we promise, we won't tell your other ships where you were last Friday night. :D

The fic pretty much captures the gist of it! I was on the train home from Terminus (the HP con in Chicago) and happened to meet up with another con goer and her fiancee. She was dressed as Harry, I was dressed as Draco, and this madwoman who loves frogs cornered 'Harry' and began to interrogate her on her 'lifestyle' (and the woman actually came out to us during the conversation, pretty much just like in the fic!) I still had an unopened beer in my bag so I slipped it to 'Harry,' 'cause she looked like she was suffering under the interrogation (which went on for over an hour!)All in all, it was totally surreal. And yes, I did just put my head down and laugh at the absurdity of it at one point. The woman didn't seem to notice.
