That was a very funny story. Your real triumph was to capture the nature of Draco Malfoy. You could really see the events from his perspective. Like all good comedies, you could also see his downfall coming and wince in anticipation. This degree of reader involvement puts this story a bit above the rest.
Overall, you let the comedy tell the story without over focus on Harry's romantic travails. That was one good touch that made the story different from most.
However, the thing that stood out was the fact that Draco's downfall was, ultimately, due to his own arrogace and his inability to judge Harry correctly (a lethal flaw for a Slytherin). The only question to remain was: was this solely the Weasley boys' idea or did Harry have some small role to play in the planning? I hope not as it is nice to see Ron getting a few kicks in for once.

- Thank you.
- This was purely a Weasley plot, Harry, as he told Hermione, had nothing to do with it, though he did find it funny and did in deed laugh.
- I've had my abuse of the Weasleys pointed out to me, so I'm trying to ease off on that (for a while)
