	Very cute :). And a grand ball, yay - now I want to go re-read some Georgette Heyer with the balls and the frocks and the complicated preparations... large parties, how fun :D. (Reply to this)

I have mixed feelings about this story. I realize that that it’s a crack!fic, but still, since it’s in the EWE catalogue, it’s an bit too fanon-y/AU for my taste. Your Harry is a bit more OOC than I’d like.

Eg :
He'd not been able to keep Lucius from serving an 18-month sentence in Azkaban

Why would Harry want to get Lucius of his (rather slight) sentence?? Personally I think it would be more believable for Harry to want Lucius to get what was coming to him ... not in a malicious way, but the guy did some pretty appalling things, so I don’t think that Harry would be all that willing to forgive and forget.
But since this is a fanon story and the characters aren’t really meant to be characterized as in the books, I realize that I’m just nitpicking.

I liked that Harry mentioned Cinderella! That was my first thought, when I read the title. =)
Theresa Loop was fun, too.

	What a fun story. Loved the idea of Narcissa unknowingly trying to marry off a gay Draco, and enlisting a gay Harry to do it. Although it was a little disturbing that they only got together after Draco had seen him as a sheep...bestiality anyone? ;-) But this was really cute and fun. (Reply to this)
