The twins are awsome. :D There is little else to say. Good story. I hope you do well in the challenge.

Author's Response: Thank you. I love the Twins. They are by far my favorite characters.

Read for Judging. Good luck with the competition.


P.S. Good use of the bonus phrases. So far you are the only one I've read that used all of them.

Author's Response: Thank you! I thought the bonus phrases were all so funny, that I had to use them. :)

Nicely constructed, and a good plot throughout. The characterisations seemed a bit off in places, though, and it would scan better with a slightly higher text-to-dialogue ratio. But overall, a very good effort.

Author's Response: Thank you!

"A compartment full of Slytherins, that's never good news." What a great line! Thanks for an enjoyable story.

Author's Response: Thanks! I really liked that line myself. It made my mom laugh, and she doesn't have the faintest clue what a Slytherin is. I think it might have been the funny voice I was narrating in. Plus, moms are required to laugh, eh?

Judged for competition.

Interesting story! Even though this story takes place at the end of HBP, you found a way to get the twins on the train. And it was worth it! We note how Fred and George are the first to realize that Draco is the killer (right after seeing the Yule Ball invite) but Harry follows the false lead and suspects Pansy.

Narcissa is an interesting choice for the Death Eater victim though one may point out that Cissy may not actually be a Death Eater -- canon doesn't make it clear that she has the mark. This is the second time I've read a fic suggesting that Cissy is jealous of her sister Andromeda.

I enjoyed reading the numerous clues and leads -- Harry and the twins are good detectives. The bonus phrases are used well also.

Overall, great job. I wish you luck in this challenge!

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I have to admit that I don't think that Narcissa is a DE, but for the purposes fo the story, (in my head, anyway) she was borrowing her husband's robes to add to the intimidation factor when she talked with Pansy.

Wow. I love it. And why is Ron carrying around a pair of handcuffs?!?!

Author's Response: Thank you so much, my incredibly talented Beta. I owe a great deal of it to you! I still haven't figured out what he was doing with the handcuffs. Suffice to say, it was probably something really naughty . The only thing I am positive of is that it involved Hermione. Or Dobby, one or the other...

except for the the fact that Ginny's involvement was minimised (Ginny is simply not that meek IMHO) I enjoyed this a lot... I think it had just the right amount of the murder mystery cliche that I like so much... :-)

Nice use of all the bonus phrases too.

There was one other line though that I particularly liked and thought would have worked well as a bonus phrase, though of caourse it wasn't.
"“A compartment full of Slytherins,” He observed. “That’s never good news.”"

Author's Response: I didn't really want to minimize her involvement, the story just took that turn. I think that Harry is strongest when working with both his friends and the love of his life. I don't think that Ginny would be that meek either, but I think that she was sufficiently ticked at Harry to want to avoid him for a while. I was hoping that people would think she was enjoying a nice game of exploding snap with Luna and Neville. (Fat chance, eh?) I'm glad that you enjoyed this, I had a blast using all of the phrases, they fit so well in my story. I really like that line and I think it would make a wonderful bonus phrase. Thank you for such a nice review!
