Harry and company won, and Voldemort is no more. It went so well that almost no one is so much as scratched. What are our heroes going to do next? Why, party until they need medical attention, of course! (The following account thereof is what happens when several alleged adults start discussing the salacious potential of the HP-verse in a chat room--hence our group penname.)

This penname was founded by a band of intrepid loonies who got together during the early days of the TPP chat room (and bonded further during the dark days of WIKKT chat's exile to the TPP chatroom). Together, we generated an idea for a fic so ridiculous, no one of us alone was willing to take credit for it. It's amazing what mischief a bunch of alleged adults can get up to under the influence of no alcohol whatsoever. Pennames of individual authors will be posted here in alphabetical order, if and when they elect to admit their involvement in the project.
It will continue to serve as a penname for any collaborations born in the TPP chatroom and a beacon of comedy in an angsty fandom.

Great guys! Can't wait for an update.

The wait is over. Please do enjoy the (corrected) update!
Bloody brilliant as always. I would like to see where Ron and the twins have gotten to, and what they have been up to. I absolutely loved Millicent, she's my kind of woman. lol.
Response from Mad_Chatters_Tea_Party (Author of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Victory Photo)
Ah, in that case, may you and Millie get together and do Bourbon Street someday. Laissez les bon temps rouler! Merci for the review!
All righty! This is heating up quite nicely. So when is that handsome Kingsley going to give up waiting for an owl post and come investigate personally?
Hee hee! Enjoying this ever so much!
Response from Mad_Chatters_Tea_Party (Author of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Victory Photo)
heh heh heh... more heat, now posted. Oh, Auror Shacklebolt.... where are you?Thanks for reviewing!
Too funny! Loved the Luna/Neville scene but I need more SS/HG!!!!! It would figure Vince and Greg would find love in the kitchens!
Response from Mad_Chatters_Tea_Party (Author of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Victory Photo)
I'm developing a soft spot for Greg and Vince. Now, if only I could figure out whether it was in my heart, or in my head...As always, will pass your compliments along to the crew, as well as shamelessly pimping the latest chapter!
ROFLMAO! Awesome, as usual. (Poor Kingsley is going to have a nervous breakdown and come in wands-a-blazing, isn't he?)
Response from Mad_Chatters_Tea_Party (Author of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Victory Photo)
*snerk* I fear that poor Kinglsey is somewhere beyond 'nervous breakdown.' You'll just have to see the upcoming chapter to find out!
Christ it's getting warm here...i need a drink and cig
Response from Mad_Chatters_Tea_Party (Author of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Victory Photo)
heh heh heh... expect it to get even warmer in Chapter 5, currently making its way through the queue...Thanks for reviewing!
I think this answers my last review question...“Offhand… I’d say there’s enough booze in here to get a herd of centaurs totally shitfaced.” And he helped himself again.
Response from Mad_Chatters_Tea_Party (Author of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Victory Photo)
*nods sagely* Yup.
I awiat the coming mayhem....and a drunk Snape.Love Slughorns stash of goodies.
Response from Mad_Chatters_Tea_Party (Author of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Victory Photo)
*dah-dah-DAH!* Drunk Snape has not only arrived, but is... well, it has to be seen to be believed. And even then...
for all the writers involved it manages to mesh.
Response from Mad_Chatters_Tea_Party (Author of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Victory Photo)
Thanks kindly, professor--chapter 6 has been submitted for your approval... enter the zone carefully. :)
great start!
Response from Mad_Chatters_Tea_Party (Author of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Victory Photo)
*bows on behalf of the crew* Thank you!
Ya'll are mad, brilliant, but mad. Can't wait till Ginny, Hermione, Draco, and Harry meet in the middle. That should be interesting.
Response from Mad_Chatters_Tea_Party (Author of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Victory Photo)
Chapter 5, with meeting-up madness (and/or brilliance) is in the queue. Thanks for reviewing!
And the saga continues.h/d in the bath, squee!
Response from Mad_Chatters_Tea_Party (Author of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Victory Photo)
squee back at ya! We're up to chapter 5, can you believe it? LOL Bubbly, bath-y goodness!
I believe that the following line is my new favorite quote: "Inappropriate Attire! You are not supposed to have a girl as clothing!" Brilliant!!!
Response from Mad_Chatters_Tea_Party (Author of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Victory Photo)
LOL Will pass your praise on to Des, originator of that particular passage. Glad you're enjoying the ride--hang on, Chapter 5 is coming up shortly!
OMG, this just gets funnier and funnier!!!!
Thanks for that pinch of imaginery SS/HG -- don't know if it's meant to be in this fic what with that potential foursome in the Prefects' Bathroom, but hey maybe Sev could make five.
I'll shut up now. Very well done!
Response from Mad_Chatters_Tea_Party (Author of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Victory Photo)
LOL You'll know soon enough what's real and what isn't in here--now, if only the participating characters were so lucky... *wink*Thank you kindly for reviewing--next chapter is in the queue!
LOVED the Jabberwocky quote! LOVED, LOVED! That sounds like something a drunken Hat would say! ;o)Ah, the chaos that abounds, and the bit about Draco sashaying.... * cackles*
Keep it up, y'all !
Response from Mad_Chatters_Tea_Party (Author of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Victory Photo)
Honey, we can keep it up all night! See you in Chapter 4--thanks for the review!
Brilliant, as usual. So many lines that cracked me up, even upon re-reading them. :-)
Response from Mad_Chatters_Tea_Party (Author of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Victory Photo)
LOL When we're done with this, I'm going to leave it for a month before reading it again, so I can laugh myself into a coma. :-D
This is just too funny for words!
Response from Mad_Chatters_Tea_Party (Author of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Victory Photo)
*bowing* thank you! Will pass this on to the crew. :-)
Response from Mad_Chatters_Tea_Party (Author of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Victory Photo)
(And, before I forget--the next chapter is in the queue. See you there!)
Thank you for a hilarious tale! Does Draco get his man?
Response from Mad_Chatters_Tea_Party (Author of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Victory Photo)
You're very welcome--check the next couple of chapters (one up now, one in the queue) and see!
Now for Chapter 4
Response from Mad_Chatters_Tea_Party (Author of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Victory Photo)
LOL Indeed! We're rolling right along!
You gals are up to no good!! I've been giggling for 3 chapters straight now!! Love this story and am anxious to see what happens!
Response from Mad_Chatters_Tea_Party (Author of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Victory Photo)
No doubt about it! We are not, and never have been! For the record: there is one guy amongst us (JustDesmond), two if you count Hubby_of_Drac, (who is a contributor rather than an author.)The next chapter is up--but I can't promise everything in it will be, ah, 'straight'.... *wink* Thanks for reviewing!
Funny as always. Really enjoyed the scene between Vince and Draco. I can so see Draco crying over Harry.
Response from Mad_Chatters_Tea_Party (Author of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Victory Photo)
LOL, Ah, Vince. I've developed a curious fondness for the big guy. *grin* And, for the record, crying's not all Draco's going to be doing, before this is over... *wink* See you in chapter 3 (in the queue as we speak!) Thanks for the review!
ROFL! I am SO enjoying this story. What a party and all the chaperons have left. Gods, but that punch must be awful. Reminds me a bit of college days when garbage pail punch would get served up at the various parties. You never knew what the hell you were drinking.
I'm loving all the various romantic twists and turns that are happening. Poor Sev, though. What a mess he is! I hope you don't leave him all alone. Perhaps he could meet up with someone intelligent and interesting with a sympathetic ear whilst he is on his rounds?
Response from Mad_Chatters_Tea_Party (Author of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Victory Photo)
*snicker* Oh, that punch! All I can say is, a WWII jeep would probably get 100 mpg on it. And it would be very, very, happy. And run on the wrong side of the road. Backwards.Prepare for the romances to take even more turns. Or become more twisted. (Hang in there, Sev!) Thanks for the review--chapter 3 is in queue as we speak!
Hooray!
Response from Mad_Chatters_Tea_Party (Author of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Victory Photo)
LOL! 3 down, 8 to go!
I don't know what to say except the warning to avoid food and drink while reading was definitely necessary!
Response from Mad_Chatters_Tea_Party (Author of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Victory Photo)
It will become increasingly so as this continues! (just wait until the spiked punch kicks in...) Thanks for reviewing!
Oh lordy- the hat pairing people off....and how many times was the punch spiked? and with what??? OMFG
Response from Mad_Chatters_Tea_Party (Author of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Victory Photo)
It all seems vaguely prescient now, doesn't it?
