I liked so much about this story! Wonderful little details (Scorpius as the bratty young Malfoy was especially good, tormenting peacocks and Goyle equally) and you had some fantastic lines that had me giggling (Draco knowing how to take care of a cock stands out). Very well written.

My only complaint was the leap from "I'm not gay" to "I'm being buggered and liking it." It felt a bit jarring, which distracted me from an otherwise amazing story. I think my preference would have been to introduce Draco to gay sex through something less extreme.

But aside from that, I thought you did a great job with this. And I don't think I've ever liked Theodore Nott as much as I did here!

	Not sure if it's meant to be as cracky as I found it. I hope so, because I adore the cracky aspects of it, and I've always thought the best funny fics walk the line between crack and not. Greg's toes, Harry's pants, Scorpius' attitude, Draco hacking away at his hair... wonderful. Thanks! (Reply to this)

	Ah, man, Scorpius being snatched because of the porn when all Goyle's clichés failed :D. Lots of fun. (Reply to this)

	I adored annoying, scheming Scorpius and clueless Goyle. And Nott dressing Harry. Thank you. (Reply to this)

I love the humour and crack. A lot of the lines are really great. I think it got a little uneven in spots though, trying to make a jump from humour to tender drama and back again. Also, as others have said, the sex scene in the middle was kind of gear-clash. I think it would have been improved if you stuck with UST and kissing and Draco flipping out over Harry having a hard-on. The hair-cutting itself was fine.

These are my favourite bits:

"Don't tell me to fuck off. I'm not the one who named my sprog like a mid-range Muggle vehicle!"

"Those birds are treated well! The Malfoys have had white cocks for centuries! We know how to care for a cock!"

He felt like a princess. Or at least what a princess would feel like if she were a boy who wanted to ask another boy out on a date after sucking his cock.
Make an animated story out of THAT, Disney.
