how sweet. like father like son-atleast it's a good comparision. now don't take so long to update again.
That was really good, keep going! I really want to know where this is going!
umm. i love it.
it's excellent.
update soon!!!
i'm fanning myself as i'm reading this. lol. post soon!!!

Yay! They've moved past protocol. Paring past the protocol into something more essential and primal really improved the story, Charmed.
Hot! So Hot! Write more soon please. Fantastic.
Wow!! I am impressed!!!! I love this story!!
my, my...as they say take no prsioners. and i do belive dear ol ginevra is taking it to heart.lol. can't wait for the next update
*Grin* Now that’s what I call hot!
But seriously, I don't know a single girl who goes from being pissed off at being put down to being totally turned on....
But hey this isn't supposed to be real life now is it?
Well done. Can't wait to read the next
Oh no! Protocol sex. No wonder it was awkward. I'm still trying to work through my squik about the arranged marriage, but you have made your characters very life-like in every other respect. I like your Ginny. Unfortunately, I can't help thinking that Draco would leap at the chance at being excluded from her bed, given that it's protocol sex and not "damn, what I wouldn't give to spend my days inside you" sex.
I LOVE IT!! such a good idea! please continue sooN!!
awesome startt.
update soon.
i loooove it
i rather like this. i'm a little dissapointed by the lack of hot sex, but i see how your ending works better. update soon!
Author's Response: well, I never said there would never be hot sex... Thanks for the review!
Interesting beginning. I'm definitely surprised at how almost devious Arthur seems, especially with the near power-tripping moment he has at the end, but I don't think you'll too far.
The idea that Lucius was cleared of all charges (without usage of bribes, curses, et al.), was also a new one for me, as I'm not used to thinking of him as being innocent in very many ways - especially concerning the diary.
But this was a well-written chapter, and as you've said that the entire story is outlined, I think I can trust that you know where this is going. I'm off to the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you for the review. As I've said, a lot of this story is a bit OoC. However, I tried to do the OoC bits with a realistic feel. (I don't know if that makes sense at all...)
That's hilarious! I can't wait for more! At least they can get along...for now.
Author's Response: thanks for the review. :)
This looks like it will be a fun story. If they can laugh after an experience like that, then this will be good.
Author's Response: lol I suppose it's an improvement from, well, Amazing Bouncing Ferret vs. Weaselette, yeah?
I like this so far. I can't wait to see more.
Author's Response: Thank you!
I like this... it's an interesting premise. Plus, Lucius is almost fun. I'm looking forward to more.
Author's Response: hehe yeah, I'm taking a different view on Lucius... Thanks for the review.
I like, interesting. Look forward to more. P.S. well written
Author's Response: Thank you!
YES! An arranged-marriage fic that actually...is realistic? Kudos to you for accomplishing such a feat.
Nothing to critique you on since your writing is pretty much perfect in every way :)
Author's Response: Eh, I don't know how realistic it is but thanks! I really appreciate your review.
Oh no, the arranged marriage twist again! I know, I know, my girlfriends in India and the Middle East try so hard to convince me, but it seems so anachronistic in contemporary western societies. It puts the story on very shaky ground for me. Why?I realize it's a quick plot device to dispense with all the usual meet-cute complications by throwing the couple together in a way that wouldn't have happened naturally, forcing them to negotiate obstacles face-to-face, thereby letting the author get on with the REAL story, but as a reader, charmedlife19, I have to be really, really convinced. And for Arthur Weasley to agree, of all people!--a man who has never let himself be swayed by wizarding conventions, let alone the opinions of his worst enemy; it's just too implausible. Still. No matter how clever Lucius' arguments. Perhaps if AW suspected LM of a new evil plot and wanted to catch him up in it. The Arthur Weasley JKR has conjured up in my imagination would politely tell Lucius that if Draco can't win Ginny's heart in the usual manner, not to expect him to pimp her out for power. Do you know what I mean?
I will read on to see how you work this out, if you can. Just thought I had better let you know where I'm stumbling. Good luck.
Author's Response: First off, let me just say that you have no idea how much I appreciate reviews like these. (I value honesty and opinion...) That said, I'm trying to make it as realistic as possible given the fact that the entire plotline is completely UNrealistic. I had a hard time with the Prologue as this is first time I've written characters so completely OoC. However, Arthur is a family man first and he does, in some weird way, feel that this could be good for his daughter who is inadvertently throwing her life away - as you see in the next chapter. Lucius has also been cleared of all charges past and present due to being under the Imperius curse. The way he acted previously (i.e., the books) is not the way he really is, as you'll see in later chapters. I had, at one time, thought about putting in a veritaserum seen where Arthur makes Lucius take it to show that this isn't some trick/trap. That got a little carried away, however, and had to be dropped. Thank you for telling me what your stumbling block is, I'll try to make it as realistic as possible. And thank you for sticking with me despite the stumbling block.
Interesting I like it. It is different, something I have yet to read. I am very interested!!!
Author's Response: Thank you! :)
this is a new twist on the arranged marriage business, or it is to me at least. this has started out very nicely, so please continue to post more soon!
Author's Response: I will! And thank you for the review.
