This was totally the right choice, Mystery Author! Right, prepare yourself for the longest comment EVAH!!!
And Crookshanks didn’t have such a cool tattoo. // At least, Harry thought so, but he’d have to ask Hermione for that. - *dies laughing* I love that random little drunken query, I get them all the time *g*
Harry blinked. ‘Well, to get a tattoo.’ He frowned suddenly. ‘Where do wishards gets tattoos? Where’d you get yours?’ - Oh Harry, you've spotted a flaw in your plan *giggles*
Harry nodded, almost fell over, and grinned at the three Georges. ‘Yeah, all fluttery,’ he agreed. ‘Dunno why it doesh. Ushally only does when we play Shwiddish.’ He stopped, blinked. ‘Squidditsh?’
The Georges patted Harry’s shoulder. He wondered how they managed that.
‘Poor Harry,’ they said. ‘I’ll have a potion for you tomorrow morning.’
Harry pulled a face. ‘Hate Potions. Shnape’s a bashtard. Shaved my life. Shtill a bashatard, though. Even if he’sh dead.’ - I actually had tears from laughing at this bit *giggles*. All of Harry's drunkenness is such win!
Your description of the Hangover potion was awesome - we've all chucked one in a fic, but I've never actually read a description of how they would feel, so that was a lovely bit of info.
‘You drank a potion George gave you?’ Hermione dropped her toast in shock, and Ron seemed to wake up from his stupor, blinking owlishly. - I was with Hermione when Harry first took the potion 0_0
‘She’s mothering, too,’ Charlie commented, and then everybody laughed when Ron, with a happy sigh, said, ‘Yeah, isn’t she wonderful?’ - Yes, Ron, yes she is. Took you long enough to notice in canon!
Hermione swelled to alarming proportions but before she could say anything, Mrs Weasley bustled into the kitchen. *hides*
The argument with Ginny was very good too - the emotion, and the words and the sly comments all felt very true-to life.
I wonder, though, just what Charlie's tattoo moving means... *smirks*
