• Summary line reads hope INSTAND MESSAGING stories are alright, will someone please tell me if they are not because when I read the terms it didnt say they werent specifically!
  
  
• Title is "Your The Music In Me"
  Summary line reads Hermione has always been the bookworm and she hates it so over the summer she changes.Will this change bring troulble or will this change bring love

Ah, fanfiction.net. How I love you.


And now, good fic:

Bedtime Story by emiime
Summary: Arthur Weasley tells his sons a bedtime story.
Genre: Humour.
Rating: G
Warnings: I think the author has children.
Excerpts:
All right. Percy, don't let George slip off the chair. There you are. Hold onto him tightly.
Not that tightly.

Yes, Molly is Mummy's first name. Bill, don't hit your brother. He is not stupid for not knowing Mummy's name.
Percy, stop sniffling, please. Use your handkerchief.

No, I was with my mummy, and your mummy was with her mummy.
Yes, I suppose that is an awful lot of mummies.
That's right, Bill, there are mummies in Egypt, but they are a different sort of mummy. They're all wrapped up in bandages.
Yes, George, I see your bandage. That was quite a scrape you got. But I'm afraid you'll need much more than just that one bandage before you'll look like a mummy.
No, you may not use the toilet roll.

The badfics may just be horrible by their summary descriptions, but the bedtime story fic was just cute.

And it's adorable that Arthur's assuming the next Weasley will be a boy. :D

Ahhh... fan fiction. I have read stuff that is so bad that I have actually cringed and then laughed... and then there is the good stuff. *shrugs* Guess that's why I have stuck to HP fan fiction despite the fact that most of my friends and husband just don't get it.

PS: Love your recommendation. The author HAS to have kids or younger siblings - OR be a teacher of some sort. There is no way in hell anyone could come up with something so realistic with out being exposed to kids themselves!

but the bedtime story fic was just cute.
Wasn't it? My kids were charmed. And somehow we got into a discussion of how the author made the kids so much like they turn out to be as older kids/adults, and how she couldn't really do that with the twins or Ron because they're too small in this story, but you can bet eventually they start teasing Percy, and how would they tease him as little kids? Well. Chris recently got to the part in Goblet of Fire where the twins find out Percy's boss doesn't even know his name and calls him Weatherby, and they discover a great put-down is "Shut up, Weatherby-" now, how would they have said that as toddlers?

My little darlings have been gleefully yelling "Shudup Weh-wehbby!" at random ever since. Joy.

And it's adorable that Arthur's assuming the next Weasley will be a boy. :D
Isn't it?
