Something lurks in the dark corners of Diagon Alley; it takes advantage of complacency, greed, sloth and whispered desires.

Hello. I love reading and writing... what more can I say?
Reviews for Idle Hands
the one thing an elf can not accept are idle hands.So they go round and grab themselfe some work. but yes, they should have asked first, as one observes correctly.. well well.Did Ron and Harry solve the mysterie?And did Hermione solve the whole misery?hope so.creepy moment about the "unseen presence, feeling of being observed and unnerving mumbling from the chimney, missing laundry etc."What a relive that it were only the elves.

I have no idea! :D But I hope so too. Thank you for the review.
'they've been improved' oh, my!
Response from sweetflag (Author of Idle Hands)
Thank you for the review. I still have no idea what they looked like, but the husband obviously thought they were what he'd been thinking of :D
Someone should make Hermione make restitution. All those elves with nothing to do was a recipe for disaster - nice!

Thank you for the review. Maybe her good intentions will come down on her like a tonne of bricks... or an elf's good deed.
Ha! This gave me a good laugh. Poor house-elves though. They only want to work.
Response from sweetflag (Author of Idle Hands)
Thank you for the review. Yes, they do like being busy... and helpful.
LOL. Poor house-elves. They were only trying to help. :)

Thank you for the review. The inspiration came from my own little helper, who once started crayoning all over my living room wall after I'd mentioned that I thought it could do with some colour.
ROFL!!! I did NOT see that coming!

Thank you for the review. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading.
Poor elves - they're only trying to help!
Love all the knicker puns - sweet naughty mischief!
Response from sweetflag (Author of Idle Hands)
Thank you for the review. I like being busy, so I can sympathise with the elves' desire to help
Poor elves. They meant well.
Response from sweetflag (Author of Idle Hands)
Thank you for the review. They did indeed... they just had no... direction.
How much fun was this? They were so sweet and earnest and... naive. Great interpretation of the prompt!
Response from sweetflag (Author of Idle Hands)
Thank you for the review. I'm so glad you found it fun.
Silly elves... tricks are for the Weasleys.
Response from sweetflag (Author of Idle Hands)
Thank you for the reviews. Silly indeed, but they were only trying to help; they were just too eager.
Oh, dear Lord. That was something.
Response from sweetflag (Author of Idle Hands)
Thank you for the review. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
*snicker* I can relate to that very well. They were trying to help and it's not their fault that the humans give specific instructions and then find out that was not what they meant. Nice!
Response from sweetflag (Author of Idle Hands)
Thank you for the review. Yes, they were so eager to help, and the wizards were so.... vague :D
And my favourite bit? 'Worse... They'd been... you know... improved.' (Er... lucky is the woman who figures out the system and can drop hints to get all her things redone.) Those poor house-elves! They're only trying to help!
Response from sweetflag (Author of Idle Hands)
Thank you for the review. I'm glad you liked that line... I was very unsure of it. It would be nice to have wonderful things just... appear.
Those poor little guys, just trying to help. Well done :-)
Response from sweetflag (Author of Idle Hands)
Thank you for the review. I know... the poor dears. Hopefully, they'll come up with a less bothersome way of helping.
LOL, the elves! They have the best intentions, but their execution leaves something to be desired, doesn't it?
Response from sweetflag (Author of Idle Hands)
Thank you for the review. They were trying their best; they just needed a bit more guidance.
Oh, my... I would certainly find that situation disturbing in the position of those witches.
Response from sweetflag (Author of Idle Hands)
Thank you for the review. They had to be unnerved though, but I agree wholeheartedly. I thank the gods every day that I have radiators and a tumle dryer :D
