Yo! Alorkin, I hope you're reading this as it should make you smile at the very least! My mother use to have a half Dobby that could pick raspberries and blackberries off the vines without getting hurt by the thorns. Now if you're thinking she was well trained, you'd be wrong. Believe it or, she learned it herself. But I know exactly what you say about those type of bushes being true! Just try moving them around like rose bushes and enjoy the pain. As for myself, I'll pass thank you very much! This story is fantastic! It shows Dumblydork in his true light. In the fics where he's all nice and helpful, that's the real fiction at work! Look to cannon to see how he truly is.
