    Title: Yule Ball Debauchery
    Author: MayorHaggar
    Rating: NC-17
    Genre: Smut
    DLP Category: Restricted Section
    Pairing: Harry/Parvati
    Status: Completed
    Summary: After a rather disastrous beginning, the Yule Ball has a much more pleasant ending for Harry and Parvati. HJ, Language, M/F, Minor, Oneshot, Oral

    It has a story to go with the smut, but frankly speaking it's just hot steamy sex. It's well written, has few spelling mistakes, and Harry gets laid, for a change.

    Seems okay. Writing is fine. But it's got a problem.

    There's this jarring change from when Harry and Parvati kiss to when the smut begins. It's like they're entirely different people. We have sappy, fluffy declarations of feelings for one another, and then it's "hot steamy sex". Some reviewed with the same problem and the author acknowledges it, says it's due to several months between writing the first half and the second half.

    Again, it's okay. But it could be better if that part was rewritten. 3/5.

    As far as smut goes, I've seen alot better.

    It was rushed as has been pointed out, but I dunno... I get that nobody wants to read awkward!firstime!Harry, this just came across as a guy living out a thinly veiled self-insert fanwank.

    2/5 - Not the worst I've ever read and I didn't feel the need to run for the brainbleach, but by no means should this be in the library.

    I know what you mean Vlad. I am half/half about this fic, a part of me thinks it could work in the library, but the more practical part understand it's basically Harry Potter Fuc@king Patil in the bum.

    Though I don't if this would be shy Harry, he did do her Doggy style.

    Well as far as smut goes it was average and the dialog between Parvati and Harry was mediocre but I still liked the beginning so it would be a 3/5 for me.

    Hmm. Straight smut.

    If your looking at nothing more than the sex scene, and are willing to suspend disbelief about the positions and immediate and intense arousal of both parties it's decent I suppose. Frankly however the dialogue is choppy, The setup is improbable, and the mental imagery (ignoring their age's) of the where's and how's of two virgin's managing those positions are too much for me to keep that suspension of belief.

    Not complete trash, as I said it's probably almost decent if your looking for smut, but certainly not library worthy. 2/5

    Apparently, this is making love:

    Also, edited the title to include the author and change the tag. It's no longer a oneshot.

    I initially read the title as "Yule Ball Douchebaggery".

    After reading, am very disappointed.

    Good God. If anyone asks me ever again why I can't stand the bushy bucktooth-beaver, I shall point him to this story, second chapter, first scene. My hand is still twitching and I need something work off my desire to throttle someone. Argh. And that in a smut story.


    Edit: And for all your pleasure, a review:

    Poor Hermione! Ah yes, the curse of smart unpretty girls everywhere. Do everything for a guy and he doesnt think you're dating material, but happily preserves you for his jerk of a best friend.

    Hermione is too good for Harry. Perhaps when she's happily involved with a nice guy of her own (the word 'nice' excludes Ron, you understand) Harry will realize what he let slip away... and it'll be too late.


    Yes. I so want that to happen. And when Hermione says "now it's too late", Harry'll just ... laugh. Into her face.

    -backs up in horror while making warding gestures-

    There's more than one chapter?
