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.

Well, what I'm really curious about is how long is her contraceptive potion going to last? How much of the six months have already passed by? And finally, when is Lucius going to be non-existent and Draco my (or rather Ginny's) knight in shining armour? Just curious... :-)

Author's Response: Well, Ginny marched into Lucius\' office in February, and I\'m calling their marriage date as March 1. It\'s now mid-May. Ginny needs to start worrying around August.

More, more, more! I'd love to see more of this. The little kiss, the talking... it's so wonderful to see this eventually happening between those two. Hoping to see more :-)

Author's Response: I told y'all that you would forgive me for the evil chapters. :D There will be more.

Author's Response: Thank you! Great to be back! I'd forgotten how wonderful it is to log on and read all your wonderful feedback. I'm so glad you are enjoying my story.

At first, thanks so much for the great update!! Enjoyed it immensely!
Lucius certainly won't Ginny let go voluntarily. I'm not quite sure, though, how they'll get out of this mess...
Looking forward to the next chapter!

Author's Response: Glad you enjoyed! And, yes, Lucius definitely has plans. I am very eager to post next chapter (fingers crossed that my lovely beta has some free time this weekend) :D

I really can't believe it's been 4 years. Feels a lot shorter somehow. Thanks for this amazing story! I always was very happy to read it.
Hoping to see you here soon again!

Author's Response: Thank you, so very much. It has actually only been 3 years since I began posting. I spent a year working on it before I had the nerve to start putting it online. I'm very glad you enjoyed it.
Hugs!

I just realised I've never reviewed this fix so far! I just love this story! It's one of my very favourites and I read it at least once every few months. You've developed the characters very well and I love it when they are (more or less consciously) supportive! Luna is just the best! Well done!

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm so glad you like it, and that the other characters rang true. :)

Not Quite an Affair by Rosalie    (Reviews - 522)

“You mustn’t tell them, Rose! Harry knows but Lily and the boys… you can’t breathe a word…”

When Rose Weasley went to her favorite aunt for advice on how to handle loving someone her family disapproved of, she never dreamed the older woman would have been able to relate so well. In the comfortable safety of her kitchen, Ginevra Potter told her niece everything and swore her to secrecy. But months later, when Ginevra notices that her daughter, Lily, is spending time with Scorpius Malfoy, Ginny realizes too late that the truth can never really be locked away. Children question their parents and their own identities and everyone must confront the past.

I think there was a rumour about reviews and their magically ability to let writing juices flow again? Really do hope I'm not to late for that!
Your characterisation of both Draco and Ginny is fantastic. There is really good chemistry between them and it's a joy reading it! One of my favourites is the novel-subplot. Love it how Draco is immersed by Lavender's writing. And of course how he rather stays at Ginny's than his drafty Manor. :)
So I hope I was able to get these juices flowing again since I'd love to read chapter 4!

Wow! What a great story! I love the realness of your outline and can only wish JKR would have seen reason :) But anyways, the pace is well applied and I love how empathetically you let them all develop in time. Well done and I hope to see more this November ;)
Cara

Author's Response: Glad you enjoyed! One of my favorite things about fan fiction is being able to explore what actually happened after the war, between the last chapter of DH and 19 Years Later (except let's also pretend 19 Years Later never happened XD). It had to have taken the characters a while to grieve and move on, and I definitely wanted to show that in this project. Thank you so much for your review!

Silence by serinah    (Reviews - 82)

My name is Ginevra Malfoy. I am a wife to the Minister's third in command, a Death Eater, and the coldest man I have ever known.


Who would have thought that when Harry killed Voldemort the purists would still come to power? Who would have thought that when the marriage law is enforced, a Malfoy would propose to a Weasley? And who in their right mind could have foreseen that Harry Potter would ask her to say yes? This is a tale about a failing marriage and a society spiralling towards civil war.

The Anatomy of a Suffragette by haniqua    (Reviews - 100)

Ginny Weasley wants nothing more than to focus on her Quidditch career and have a fun time doing it - but between the Ministry of Magic's plans to implement new marriage regulations, slanderous news articles by Rita Skeeter and a pair of irritating Slytherins, she just can't catch a break.
A feminist take on the Marriage Law trope, with DG for good measure.
