YAYYYYYY! AN UPDATE!!!!!! :D And it was cute as always! LOVED the DG sunday lie-in, and how Draco is bothered by the fact that Ginny never mentioned anything. And the Dwina! Yay for Dwina! Loved that bit of scene between her and draco towards the end! her authority is clearly superior. ^_^
Great job and please update soon!!!
XOXO, JT
Author's Response: Yes, Edwina is the best! :) More of her is coming along. Working on the final edits of the next chap now, so it should be up by end of the week. :) Sorry for the wait, it was so close to done, but for some reason I wasn't happy with it and wasn't getting the inspiration to get it done right. Thank you so much for your kind words and support! Hugs!
love this diet plot.. i think a first of its kind, where draco is a little out of shape!! love it!!
Author's Response: Thank you! I do try to be original, and the fun thing about Draco is that you really can twist his character for so many fun circumstances. He's a pathetic little dear in this one, surrounded by smart women. He just has to go along with it. :) Thanks again!
Yay! Welcome back.
Author's Response: hahaha! Thank you, m'dear! :)
Yay! A new chapter! As usual, great chapter. Looking forward to reading more, hopefully with a shorter wait, though =P
Author's Response: Yes, next chapter is ready and should be up in a few days. Sorry for the wait. This was supposed to be a quick story, don't know how my muse ran away for so long. Hugs!
YOU UPDATED :D!!!
This was amazing I'm so pleased with it!! Edwina that old fox I bet she did it on purpose! And Ginny, not mentioning sleeping in the same bed as him? Ahh I cannot wait for more!
Author's Response: I dearly love Edwina, she's such a sly thing. The epilogue will make you love her forever. Poor Draco, is soooo uptight. He was such a joy to write in this fic. :)
I couldn't wait until you posted at FFN, so I'm reviewing here.
I love this story, and was really absurdly happy when I saw it had been updated. Draco is so adorable; I'm really enjoying seeing this side to his character -- a side we very rarely get to see in fanfiction. Can't wait to read the next chapter!
Author's Response: :) Thank you! It was so funny when you prodded me last week, and I had this almost ready to post! Brilliant timing. The fun part of Draco in this, for me, is how he's surrounded by strong women and totally alone in dealing with them. Sorry it took so long to update, but the story kind of changed from the original idea. I originally wanted to make Ginny much more strict with him, but it started sounding more nasty than funny, so, I had to rethink much of the plot and rewrite most of the story.Thanks for sticking with me! Next chapter should be up in a few days. It only needs some minor edits.
Hugs!!!!
Oh no, where are the last chapters? I really love this story and even though I don't want it to end I want to know how it ends. Pleas please update!
Author's Response: Updated! sorry it took so long! Enjoy1 :D
Oh no, where are the last chapters? I really love this story and even though I don't want it to end I want to know how it ends. Pleas please update!
Author's Response: I have 2 remaining chapters and an epilogue. The epilogue is possibly the sweetest thing I've ever written and I can't wait to post. Unfortunately, the last chapter just wasn't flowing properly and I haven't had a chance to really fix it. I promise that it will get posted tho, because I hate to leave things unfinished.
Great job!
Author's Response: Thanks so much!!!
I couldn't stop laughing at the last part of this chapter! I believe he is getting his confidence back. Great chapter!
Author's Response: Glad it kept you amused! He's such a brat in this story and he's so fun to write. Thanks so much!!!!
This was so awesome. I loved Draco in this chapter. He was the perfect combination of snarky Draco - 'Draco tried his best not to smile in the direction of his plant in the corner, although he did allow his mouth to curve into an evil smirk. He liked his smirk. He'd actually spent time practicing it in the mirror when he was younger, and he hadn't had nearly enough opportunity to use it in recent years. It was a rather celebratory occasion, however, and he took a moment to savor being able to use his favorite expression.' and pouting Draco - "You let me have what I wanted all last week," he said, sounding like a whining child, but he didn't care.; He nodded, deciding that pouting seemed to be working on her at the moment. He came to the conclusion that looking pitiful was his best weapon. After all, he was unhappy and if he was going to get his way, his only option was to evoke sympathy. He gave her the look he used to practice in the mirror as a child. The one that got his mother to buy him just about anything. I loved seeing all of his moods. My favorite: Slytherin Draco (Slytherin may not be a mood, but that's the best way to describe this particular 'mood')- ...he did the only proper thing that any self-respecting Slytherin could do: he plotted ways to eliminate the competition. Two days later, the witch disappeared, having won a three-week, all-expense paid trip, which included a never-ending buffet and dessert bar, courtesy of Blankenship's Flying Carpet Cruise Line. With a bit of luck, he was hoping that the witch might eat so much on the trip that she'd explode and wouldn't be able to come back at all. LOL That was my favorite part of the chapter; even when he's doing something 'nice' Draco is such a good 'bad boy'.
Author's Response: He's such a spoiled child in this fic and I do want to cuddle him for it. So very, very happy you enjoyed it! Thanks so much.
There she stood, arms crossed, foot tapping and eyebrows raised. Her red hair flowed loosely about her shoulders and there was fire in her eyes. In a way, he hated how incredibly gorgeous she was, because he'd forgotten why she had become such a fixture in his life.
OOOOOOHHH!
I loved her entrance!
=D
She is great, isnt she?
Especially when she gets to turn his brain into mush.
He looked up, guilt written all over his face, looking very much like a child caught in the middle of mischief. Her response completely surprised him.
AAAAAAAAWWWWWWWW!!!!
He must have looked so cute!
=D
He was unceremoniously placed on a treadmill and had to watch while “his” Weasley spent a solid hour coaching an overly rounded witch through some simple weight-lifting and stretching routines.
If she had the gall to wake him up at an ungodly hour, the very least she could do was give him a little attention.
^:^
I LOOOOVE possessive Draco!
Whining and pouting actually adds to his charm, especially his boyish side!
=D
In the past, running had only been tolerable because he really enjoyed watching her arse as he followed her around the Quidditch pitch.
Could he find a greater reason for running?
It's simply a show off game!
And i just LOVE it!
=D
So, on the third day, as he jogged on his treadmill and watched Weasley spend her time with the inept, overweight witch again, he did the only proper thing that any self-respecting Slytherin could do: he plotted ways to eliminate the competition.
Two days later, the witch disappeared, having won a three-week, all-expense paid trip, which included a never-ending buffet and dessert bar, courtesy of Blankenship's Flying Carpet Cruise Line. With a bit of luck, he was hoping that the witch might eat so much on the trip that she'd explode .
Oh yeah, a truly evil plan!
=D
Don't you just love his Slytherin ways?
Plus having tons of money to help with his plans DO help!
;P
I love the fact she figured him out the second she saw him, his smug expression must have been giving him away from MILES!
i do have one tiny, itty, bitsy complaint though...
You see, we already know he fancies her, at least phisically and she has some attraction to him, but you take FOREVER! to update so i was wondering when they are goin to FINALLY get together!
I'm dying to see them together!
Oh, can you please update Contractual Obligations?
I'm crazy to see what happens next!!!
I just love your fics!
=D
kisses
Author's Response: It would be nice to be independently wealthy so that I could write full time but, alas, that is not the case. Also, I really was quite stuck on the plot for the second part of the chapter. It was lovely to read your long, thoughtful review! So nice to see how many points caught your attention.Hugs my dear!
-G
Did you mean, "roused by Ginny" in the place where you wrote, "aroused by Ginny"? Hehe. I got a laugh out of it.
So glad you updated! I love this story, though Draco's whining is terribly unattractive.
Author's Response: He is quite spoiled. and thank you for catching that typo! LOL! I did fix that. Only 2 chapters remain, so Draco will probably stop whining very soon. Thanks sooooo much!-G

This was AMAZING. I really really hope that you plan on updating regularly for this fic because I am IN LOVE with it. I think this is the funniest fic I've EVER read. I used to think your Omega-13 was my favortie, but now, I think this one takes the cake. I originally skipped over this one too, because I didn't want to ruin my image of a toned, six-pack, buff Draco. But somehow, wow, this was just way too cute! Please update soon and bring sexy Draco back with his physique. Then, he and Ginny can get together. And if I haven't told you before, I LOVE all your characters! Normally, I don't like some characters in some fics, but I love everyone (except that oily Covingworth. Narcissa, even though we don't see her, is amazing, and so is 'Dwina (such a cute name!) Anyways, AMAZINGLY FANTASTIC job on this fic, and please, please, please update soon!
XOXO, JT
Author's Response: Wow. That's a great compliment. I'm so glad it's bringing a smile to your face. I'm glad you got over your fear of chubby Draco. He's on his way back tho, never fear! Thank you sooo much for your lovely comments. And I'm so happy you like 'Dwina, I love her too. I'm sure you'll positively adore her in the last chapter. Poor Draco thinks he's in charge, but in reality, all these strong women are running his life. No wonder he acts the way he does. LOLBest wishes!
-G
I love how Ginny is so manipulative. pure slytherin right there! and I want to smother draco in kisses for being so adorable.
XOXO, JT
Author's Response: I do too. He's so childish, like grown men tend to be. Poor Draco thinks he's in charge but he's surrounded by all these strong women who know better. :)
"It might be time for us to adjust our exercise plan, anyway.”
Hahaha, Ginny is so funny!
And
"“It's a simple matter of balance,” she explained. “Calories in must be less than calories expended. You can have the treat, but we'll have to increase your activity. I think you are ready for that now, anyway.”
Suddenly, his triumph didn't seem quite as satisfying as it did a few moments ago.
“Don't pout, Draco. It's not that bad. We'll meet tomorrow morning. I think it's time for you to start jogging.”
And when did he give her permission to call him by his first name?"
My goodness. I haven't reviewed the earlier three chapters, but i just want you to know that you have me in stitches. really. oh, this is just way too good. i love that ginny outsmarts draco so much. :)
XOXO, JT
Author's Response: Glad that the story makes you laugh. I had a great time writing it. :)
that was great. the best part was the end when draco rigged the contest and
"With a bit of luck, he was hoping that the witch might eat so much on the trip that she'd explode and wouldn't be able to come back at all. "
i do love this draco. cant wait for the next update.
Author's Response: He is sweet, isn't he? I just want to cuddle him, tho I'm sure he'd hate that. So happy you enjoyed!Best wishes!
-G
Ooh, yay, you're updating! Well, this is a pretty unique idea, and the possiblites for humiliation and amusement are as numerous as the amount of calories in Draco's most decadent little goodies. ;-D I'm lovin' this sweet and funny fic, and looking forward to the next update!
Author's Response: Thanks so much. I actually have very funny scenes that I wrote and cant use because I took the story in a different direction. the original idea was a bit more adversarial. Thanks sooo very much for your feedback.
Hugs!
-G
So I discovered that you had chapter six posted here. I'm sorry, I was weak and had to read it. I loved it, of course. Things are really beginning to progress now, and I loved the fact that Ginny totally dominated Harry and Ron.
I also love Draco's thoughts. To see him have to struggle between food and hearing the truth was priceless.
I hope you plan to update this soon. ^_^
Author's Response: Ah thank you! I didn't realize I hadn't updated the other site yet. I'll fix that asap! I have had the next chap *almost* ready for a while but desperately want to finish C.O. because it's nearing the end. Not enough hours in the day, unfortunately. Maybe now that I'm injured and on doc's orders to NOT do physical activity for a bit, I might be able to catch up.
Thanks so much
Hugs!!!

"He rather liked being able to use the truth. It was so much more effective. " lol.
I've been reading this story since the beginning-ish, and I absolutely love it. The premise is unique, and then throwing in corporate blackmail just makes it more intriguing. I'm actually thinking that it wouldn't be terrible if they didn't get together for a while. I like their dynamic now. That being said...
Author's Response: Thanks so much for letting me know you like it. :) These comments really, really do inspire me to work faster. Don't worry...Only a couple of chapters left, so not much more waiting. :)
noooooo! please write more! pretty please! I begggg offff yoooouuuu
Author's Response: LOL! I promise I'm writing more. Hopefully to post very soon. :) Thanks!!!!!!
I really love this story. You always manage to make me laugh. I really hope that you continue posting as quickly as you can! I can't wait to read another chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you! I do love knowing that I'm making people happy with this fic. Draco's childish views amuse me, also. :D I truly wish I had more time to write. chapters are written, they just need a bit of refinement. Hope to post more soon, if I can find the time. :)
Loved it!
Author's Response: Thank you!!!
"He looked at her sternly. He most certainly did not forfeit his desserts for that pathetic piece of information. This called for serious negotiating tactics."
Oh, ow. I think my stomach muscles are going into spasm from laughing so hard!
Author's Response: Thanks Hon! Needed to know that this story is still making folks happy. :D Have a great day!!!
I loved the scene with Ginny telling the boys off. She can get them to do anything I think! I also like how you've been developing the relationship between Draco and Ginny. You have really been making a believable evolution in their attitudes towards one another. Keep up the good work!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I just totally love that scene. Greatly appreciate knowing that it's working. (and getting these lovely reviews is a nice birthday present for me) :) Have a great day. -G
