I think that the dueling club scene, yes, lacks the tension of the scene it's taken from in CoS.

Bathing Machine Wars....Bathing Machine Reservations....it would save drowning Malfoy house elves every time Narcissa wants a swim, certainly.


I think that a Voldemort Bathing Machine with glowing red gaslamp headlights is going Too Far, however.

Bathing Machine Fic! Bathing Machine Fic!
