Contractual Obligations by gidge_8    (Reviews - 751)

Selling herself into a marriage contract, Ginny finds herself playing a deadly game, ultimately pitting her husband against her lover and a father against his son. Many twists and turns, depth and evil characters - and a long story of sweet and true love.

New! Epilogue is up! Yes, I know, the story has been "complete" for a couple of years, but this ending has been partially written for a long time and it ties up some loose ends.

That's the good thing about being an internet author, you don't have to splatter your face all over the place!
You can keep it hidden and leave the naughty side of your come out to play.
I know people who are as shy as to not being able to talk to a teacher!
And they write a heck of a lot of smut, it's really amazing how you can just put on a mask and be free!
;D

Also, your husband seems wonderful!
if you inspired such an amazing Draco on him, he must be the most wonderful husband(second only to Draco who i'm maddly in love with ;D ).You're lucky to have him!

=S
Not your best chapter, i mean the very beginning, before Hermione showed u was retty much perfect
than things went south...
why is Draco so cold?

And by the way, does he know the kid is his?
'cause he doesn't seem to know and doesn't seem happy about it or anythign like that

i'm beginning to think he's not as wonderful as he seemed before Hermione showed up.
did i mention i don't like her?
and least of all Harry?
I specially don't like eople pushing ginny and harry together!
and i never liked molly(not even in the movies), is she just gonna go still and watch Gin?

I sooo want more chaters!
I loved this "surprise" update by the way!
;D

kisses

Author's Response: Wow...bummer. I'm a bit surprised because I felt that Ginny coming home was possibly one of the most moving and powerful scenes I've ever written, and it's my personal favorite of the entire story. So... ouch. Unfortunately, I felt that there's a bit more going on here, and as for Draco... he's got a lot on his mind right now, and he doesn't feel comfortable about it. Oh well....no matter what I write, I can't please everyone.

sorry
i just read my review and it was a lousy one
i mean, sure i was happy about her cmoing home but they were so passionite last chapter thati was kinda expecting to see more of the 2 of them.
Family is always nice, but i think i'm in a phase where i'm much more into romance than family.
i was hoping we could see more into Draco and Ginny's relationship, waiting for the to have so much more but then hermione came over and i really don't like hermione and Harry on the fics so i was kinda sad that there was no more interaction between D/G and then you made him cold and away from her so i was disappointed, i was hoping for a few more moments of passion before the whole family thing, instead i got a bucket of ice water on the romance department so it made it harder for me to enjoy family hour.
;/
Sorry if i had a hard time expressing myself at first is just that my first reviews are very passionite because i review as soon as i read so i tend to go single minded on one subject.

Please don't be sad, it was a really great chapter now taht i've read it again, i love the whole changing the clck thing and the way Arthur reacted when he saw gin, it got me all warmhearted... but i can't stop thinknig about how Draco must have felt all throught this and how Ginny feels about harry being so close to her when she hasn't have contact with him for so long then hermione came pushing her in Harry's way and it got me mad.
it was very comforting to see this chapter and Arthur's and Ginny's reaction are some that i know well from going to being away through a near death(in this case, death) experience and then back home.
i even related with the feeligns of going around the house and seeing something so yours taht belongs to your family(aka: the watch hand) and see your room and everything. is just a wonderful, warm fuzzy feeling and you portraited it marvelously!
=D
Sorry if i forgot to say this sooner!

kisses

Author's Response: Nothing is wrong with your review, hon! You have your feelings and that's perfectly great to express them. :) What one person loves about the story, another person will dislike. That's just the way it goes and I'm totally ok with that. Now, if the writing was outright bad.. that's something I need to know about, because my hope is to become a better writer, and I can't do that if all I get back is "that was great" kind of comments.
So thanks once again... and I'm off to work on that next chapter

Date: Dec 13, 2009 Title: Chapter 23: Chapter 23 - Confessions of a Daughter

Next chapter is a biggie! I held off posting this one because I wanted to post the two of them fairly quickly together.

OOOH!!!
I actually forgot what i was going to cemment because this made me so happy!
;P

I was crazy happy when i saw there was an update, it woke me up around 5am and i was mad at me for not turning off the sound but then i saw what it was and i was bright as day and woke up in a sec!
=DD

When i saw a chapter with a sorta small roll bar i thought"OH we gonna get a lot of D/G interaction!" but then we got none and i was kinda mad because i that was pretty mean!
NOW, that i've read your notes in the end i couldn't be happier!
=DDD
We get a big chapter next!
Plus we'll be getting it SOON!!!!


i swear i can't stop smiling and now my mother thinks i'm mental because i'm typing furiously fast and laughing like a maniacal!
;P

Finally to the coments:
Sure, i very much enjoyed the fic and i understand how great it feels to come back home like that, as i told you before i was "arrested" for over a day in the other of the ocean so that kind gets really scary for a just turned 18 years old girl!
So, yeah, the feeling was portraited beutifully!
i was sad because there was no D/G interaction but at the same time i was really glad.
This chapter she broke most of the things that connected her to Harry so this was kinda like the break up and i'm hoping next chapter she'll be getting together with Draco!


"It's been over four years since you've seen me, Harry," she said, rather more sternly than she intended. "I'm not sixteen anymore."

it felt sooooooo good to read this!
I was like:HAHA!LOOOOSER!!!
;P
Yeah, i actually say these things out loud while reading!

Harry's hand once again reached for hers, and she stared down at their hands together on the table before looking up at him.
"I wouldn't be angry with you, Ginny."
She gave a soft chuckle. "Well, we'll see..."

SSSSSS
(,",) [That's meant to be a snake showing off her fangs about to attack]
It felt like she was plotting the demise of his happinees and cheer mood!
i LOVED it!!!!


she felt herself smiling as she remembered how happy she was to receive each one. Somewhere during her dissertation, Harry had moved away from her, although she didn't mind.

It felt like she was throing knives at him!
And he was being pushed back by some sort of invisible shield!
LOVED it too!



As you can see we didn't have Draco in this chapter but i still had far too much fun adding up to Pothead's misery, sure it may not have been your point, but i still had far too much fun acting like it was!
;P



When will the next chapter come out?
Thank you very very much for this!
^;~


kisses

Author's Response: LOL that you found the interaction with Harry so very Slytherin! I think that Ginny did pick up a lot from being around the Slytherins for so long. I like your interpretation. I was highly amused. Sorry about the lack of D/G... but I can't have the depth to the story if I only keep it isolated to what's happening between the two. I will make up for that a little next chap. Once again, thanks so much for your feedback!!!
Hugs!

WOW!
I was holding my breath for most of this chapternd just realized that now.
My lungs are burning.

I'm so glad Draco didn't leave Ginny with doubts.
Sure, i'm even happier that he didn't get killed, or crazy, or obliviated or any other war scar, but knowing that he left with things clear between them is even better.
Snape showing Draco where his loyalties are was a great touch.
The nanny saving Teddy allowed my brathin to return, i was so worried about the little one!

I'm sad to know we are reaching the end!
It's so great to see everyone ding greaat or getting better but i'll really miss this fic!
I wish we could have more D/G interactino, i can't wait to just see them together and calm, enjoying their pregnancy, laying around, doing pretty much nothing[having crazy hot sex in all of the possible ways could probably fit somewhere in this little perfect world]. Also, as much as Gin loves her family, she and Draco could use the time alone!
=)

Also, hope yougot sometime offduring the hols to write a littl more of the next chapter so that we can see waht comes next[and hpefully until we've reached the end there will be no jumping ahead in time!]

Thank you for this chapter, it was a great day starter!
=)
Hope you hada nice Christmas and Happy new year!
=D


kisses

Author's Response: Had a week off during the break, but did shockingly little writing. So glad that you found the chapter suspenseful! I definitely have to thank my alpha readers, because otherwise, the battle would have been over too quickly.

You're a Dead Man, Mr. Potter by Ahranne    (Reviews - 29)

It had started with those eyes. Whenever Ginny looked back on the past few months, she always came to this same conclusion. How something so innocent had ended up so horribly wrong she couldn’t say, but she knew, she just knew, that it had started with those damned soulful eyes.

Do tell us when the nxt chapter is coming or write another one as soon as possible
i absolutely love this story and it reminds me so much of some of Cliodna's(by the way that's the best compliment i can EVER give any fic).
I can see the entie plot in my head and even if your's is absolutely different from mine i still think there's enough room for at least 15 more chapters before you're done
I'm sorry if this may seem forward but if you're having some sort of block please let me know I would be more than imensily happy to help you
I do love this story and altough i'm not good creating a plot form scratch I can assuree you I have some really wonderful ideas after it's already sorted out much like this one

I DO suck at reviewing specially bcause i don't have English as my fisrt language but if you'd like i'd be more than gladto help you with the story,ok?
just let me know and please write more SOON

=)
kisses

Author's Response: I know that there are plenty of chapters ahead. I've actually got most of the story mapped out. I kind of just think of scenes that I would like them to be in, situantions and things like that. And I go chapter by chapter and fit in each one of my scenes to see which works where. It's somewhat complicated I suppose. But it works for me. Thank you for the offer on help though. I know who to come to if I do need it. Thanks for sending me that email too. The update should be coming along soon. =]
