Did the badfic say that the Sue is a heavy sleeper? Lavender, Parvati and Hermione apparently got up in time to have breakfast and then go to the Potions class. Could the Sue really sleep through all the noise they probably made? Would Lavender and Parvati not try to shake her awake when she obviously oversleeps? (Hermione is evil in this fic, thus it’s possible she wouldn’t.)

Assuming that Dumbledore’s stupid plan to get the Sue and Harry into his office by making her oversleep depended on the other girls letting her oversleep makes this plan even more stupid than it is anyway. So what this comes down to is: I don’t believe that your agents stepped into what looked like the girls’ bedroom. Doing this after the portal had already transported the agents to a Generic Bedroom is also a bit of a continuity error.

With another badfic, I might buy that the Generic Bedroom transformed into the girls’ dormitory when the agents (and the word world) realized that the Sue woke up at Hogwarts. But here, although the Sue didn’t brag about being so speshul that she got a room on her own, and didn’t whine about being segregated from the other girls because she was considered to be a monster, I’m quite sure that she woke up in her private bedroom, not in a dormitory. She probably got her own, private bathroom too.

BTW, I can accept that a Hogwarts setting defaults to Gryffindor Tower if not stated otherwise, but how did your agents figure out that this is Hogwarts rather than the Sue’s home before the end of the first paragraph? IMO it would have been better to keep this in a generic environment until the Sue was reminded that she was late for class.

After this mediocre start, the mission became quite good, although I don’t appreciate everybody utilizing the Room of Requirements. I actually liked the open end, but I wonder what happened or will happen to Triste Malfoy.

I won’t talk about grammar here. I’ll send you an e-mail.
