Weasleys Wizard Wheezes: The Ministry Disapproved Edition (The Liability Remix) [HP; Percy; Gen]

Title: Weasleys Wizard Wheezes: The Ministry Disapproved Edition (The Liability Remix)
Author: [livejournal.com profile] sullensiren
Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters: Percy Weasley
Summary: From the Desk of Percival Ignatius Weasley, Concerning the twins' latest product line.
Warnings: None
Spoilers: Through OotP, I suppose.
Rating: PG
Title, Author and URL of Original Story: Weasleys Wizard Wheezes: The Spring 2006 Edition, by [livejournal.com profile] xylodemon.
Disclaimer: I don't own them! They belong to Rowling, I was just borrowing them!
Feedback: Yes Please!
Author's Notes: All images, sparkly fonts, and phrasing on the original ads was done by [livejournal.com profile] xylodemon. The catalogue itself was all her doing. All I added were Percy's notes. Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] tygress for all the help with formatting and graphics! The original story was posted before the publication of Deathly Hallows and the thing that happened therein, so for the sake of comedy, this can be considered AU wherein that thing did not happen.


From the Desk of: Percival Ignatius Weasley
Attn: Fred & George Weasley
Concerning: Weasleys Wizard Wheezes: The Spring 2006 Edition

Fred and George,
This is most certainly NOT my area of expertise, and I didn't have the time to spare to look over all your toys. But since I'm related to you, apparently that means it gets delegated to me, nonetheless. Enclosed you'll find a copy of your latest catalogue and my attached notes. If you would actually read them this time, it might prevent me having to do so in the future!
Regards,
Percy

P.S. Don't bother sending anything by post; I have people checking my mail first. So all you'll do is end up torturing strangers.

P.P.S. And don't try to send it to me at home, either!

OMG Percy is hilarious. I loved this--very creative, and entertaining in general. The descriptions of the products sounded exactly like Fred and George, too, hahaha. I loved the "Adults Only" section. *dies laughing*

Aww, thank you very much! The product descriptions, though, came directly from the original, and you have [livejournal.com profile] xylodemon to thank for those!

Oh, poor Percy! You just know Fred and George told the protestors that he was responsible for handling all their product testing and legal complaints, and he got swamped by even more trouble.

Hahaaa! Can't breathe for laughing.

I feel for Percy, I really do. And his outraged inkblots.

[personal profile] lorax 2008-04-27 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
Hee, I love his outraged inkblots! They were [livejournal.com profile] tygress' doing. I told her I wanted him to come off as increasingly frustrated and exasperated as it went along, so she used the inkblots for that. Thank you so much!

This is absolutely, positively perfect. I can't even begin to tell you how much *fun* this is. I haven't laughed this hard in ages. Oh, Percy. The poor and long-suffering voice of reason. Brilliant!

Thank you so, so much!

[personal profile] lorax 2008-04-28 11:23 am (UTC)(link)
Hee, thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I nattered a bit about this in my LJ already, but I have to say - I'm a HUGE fan of your HP fic, and went right to some of the Marauders stuff to remix, and my eye went right to the catalogue and my mind immediately to doing Percy's notes. And I TRIED to fight it, but my brain refused to think of doing anything else. Heh. I'm glad it worked for you!

[identity profile] hermionesviolin.livejournal.com 2008-04-29 03:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Fabulous critiques of Fred and George's products.

"Granted, two of them are now dating the Minister's assistants, but still."
Hee!

permanently enlarged tongues ... *wink.wink.*

Serving Gay For a Day Parfaits at coming out dinners! Ron and Harry! *giggles*

"palindrome"! Cardiff!

The Pygmy Puffs totally made me think of Tribbles when I first read it!

LOVE "There are protestors headed your way from the Ministry RIGHT NOW to crusade for animal rights and the unsuitability of canines for pockets. Cheers. Enjoy. They like to throw things. My favorite was the rotten fruit, really. Less concussions." [Though Percy's probably pedantic enough that he would have said "Fewer concussions."]

[personal profile] lorax 2008-05-01 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Hee! Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

And yes, "Fewer concussions" would probably have been more fitting, but I had didn't catch that until after the graphic for that section was done, so since it was toward the end I decided his frustration had gotten the better of his grammar skills. ;) Thank you for reading!

Oh, I loved this! You captured Percy's exasperation perfectly.

[identity profile] wild-ocean.livejournal.com 2008-05-16 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"and the last thing I want is more bloody brothers!"

I was laughing throughout. Great remix, loved every word, scarlet ink and inkblots included. Percy is furious. Fantastic job!

Absolutely brilliant. It brings the fic genre to an entirely new level. It was totally Percy and it made me laugh even harder.

I just love this soooooooo much! The original is gorgeous and Percy's MoM approved noted are just so him! An instant classic.
And the best part is, no wizards were killed in making this fic possible!

Aww, thank you so much! And nope, no one was harmed. Though you could argue Percy-abuse. :) I never saw this comment when it came in, so I apologize for not answering! And I had a flurry of comments come in and someone pointed me to your rec, so thank you very much for that too!

Hilarious. I think my favorite part was the last line of the 'adult section' comments.
