Amongst the R/D fics of dubious quality that I've been reading, I found this story that I really liked. (NOT badfic!)

Strange Bedfellows: A Comedy of Assumptions by Mad Maudlin
Harry and Hermione face down an unexpected conspiracy, a possible nefarious plot, wild rumors and much, much worse to save their best friend from a terrible fate...right?

This story was laugh-out-loud funny. The characterization is pretty loose, but in humour stories you can get away with that. And Crabbe and Goyle were the most adorable things ever!

[Hermione and Harry are plotting with Crabbe and Goyle]

"Listen, you two. Draco's gone mad. We need you to help us stop him...er, stop him getting expelled." Crabbe nodded gravely at this. "Meet us down here, at one o'clock in the morning. Can you do that?"

"Yes," Crabbe said earnestly. "We've got watches."

Goyle showed them his.

Read and enjoy.

Yeah, that's exactly the kind of fic I mean when I say comedy slides by a lot easier. The Hermione characterization is on crack, but the story's so funny I didn't care.

Since she hit her head fairly early on, I just attributed her, er, strange behaviour to that. :)

this was so much fun to read! Crabbe and Goyle may have been thick ('did I pronounce 'pssst' wrong?') but I loved that Harry and Hermione were pretty dim too, at least when it came to figuring out what Ron was up to. thanks for the link!

Yeah, it was a really good read. When I came to the line about Snape and the flobberworm, I thought I'd *die*.
