"Will Harry and Draco fall in love or be torn apart? Will Neville finally get the girl? Does Lucius Malfoy secretly wear pink knickers?" All of these questions will be answered on the next 'As the Time-Turner.. um.. Turns'!! Yea, definitely hokey. *grin*

I agree with you about gloomy one-shots! How can you bring yourself to work with the characters, develop them and their relationships... just to give them a sad ending?? I'll admit that some sad endings, or at least some 'less than they lived happily ever after' endings, are necessary and the only realistic conclusion to some stories / situations but still! The real world has enough gloomy endings without us writing more. We should had fluff and happiness to the world, with a bit of angst & drama just to keep everyone from getting cavities!
