Quite the amusing -but cautionary- tale.
There's a lot of 'useful trunk' stories, but far less tales of how the magic trunks could end up going awful. I can think of only 2 right now and can't think of their names.
One old one had Harry try to go independant and buy a trunk with apt in it BUT the atmosphere within it isn't an automatic addition. The clerk says nothing because he didn't see through Harry's disguise so thought the random kid who knew what he wanted would know to get his parents to cast those spells. At the end, Harry suffocates within the trunk.
Other story had a different danger. It was a cautionary tale of holding one live-in trunk within another. Harry finds such a trunk, exploring it, he finds a few other trunks. One of which also had a live-able spaces and had rooms that connected to another. Rinse and repeat. Eventually Harry realizes he's been exploring for some time and comes to realize he's forgotten the way out.

I wonder how many wizards actually created personal realms like that and just never came back out.

Ummm...the end? I realize the story is definitely longer than something like a summary and has more details but it almost seems like it's an introduction to a story rather than a story itself.

One other thing - there's a difference between "insuring" and "ensuring". Mr. Creevey's wife Ensured that they would spend time together in the waiting room, she didn't insure it. Again, words have different meanings depending on their spelling. Check a dictionary.

"This is not cannon!"
No, it's not. A cannon is a big gun. Canon (with one N in the middle) is the Harry Potter universe the way Rowling wrote it. Note the difference. Spelling - it's a thing. Makes the difference between words. Not that difficult to learn. Even easier to look up online.

Cute story. I found the magical twist on the person-trapped-in-a-trunk story much less depressing than the usual version and much more funny. Good to see the Creeveys get a good outing.

*chuckle* That was good-hearted with a definitely humorous ending. I applaud you, sir, for the gentle humor within it.

That was cute, Harry will be getting not only the Help he needs, but away from Durzkaban for a time too. My personal thoughts on his Dream Girl would of course be Hermione, but if we were thinking anywheres near Canon, it would be Cho Chang. Wasn't too surprised at what, or more properly Who they found, lol. Thank You. TTFN
