yup. funny as.

The speech this is referencing I heard performed exactly once, at a Forensics meet. This type of Forensics is unrelated to dead people, but is a middle and high school public speaking extracurricular. This would not have been at all as enjoyable if I had not heard it performed.

awesome

I'd like to add one more, directly from Rowling herself:

"Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home."

Enjoyed

This is fantastic! Written terrifically, very funny, can definitely see Dumbledore saying this :)

Love the song.
Love the story, excellent!

"You will not understand the power and beauty of your common rooms until you've a cubicle of your own in the Ministry of Magic."

Just the second paragraph, and loving it already. A brilliant, charming, and simply, utterly hilarious piece, not to mention so very like Dumbledore. Damn - this story is old, but anyway. Nice work, here.

Ah, this is charming. :)

This is fantastic :-) I love it! It genuinely seems like something Dumbledore would say. Perfect.

Ahh, you managed to capture Albus' forever nonsensical speech, lol! I had fun laughing, harry Potter will always save the day, looool. Good job!

Lol sunscreen.

Very funny. Isn't "don't tickle sleeping dragons" supposed to be Hogwarts' motto or slogan if I remember correctly? Great job though. The speech is just as odd and eccentric as you would expect from Dumbledore (perhaps even a little bit more so but hey). Thanks for sharing!

'Accept certain inalienable truths: Slytherins will be sneaky, exams will be hard, and Harry Potter will always save the day. And when he does, Slytherins will seem tolerable, exams reasonable, and it will become fashionable to stick up for one's beliefs.
Stick up for your beliefs.'
was HILARIOUS. As is the parting line. Wonderfully flippant with awesome references throughout the series!

Oh dear Merlin, that was epic. You deserve a trophy for this grand piece of writing!
