Review for Harry Potter and the Marriage Contracts

Harry Potter and the Marriage Contracts

-laughs uproarioulsy- This chapter had a great start and maintained that quality throughout. I loved the fact that Neville's being careful to advise Harry, they're obviously on very good terms as friends and, I'd reckon, as fighters. I had to snicker at the various sorting categories they used for the proposals, though that sorting must've taken a good while (he'll need quite an album for the photos :D).

I, too, would like to see the backstory developed. It seems that Dumbles managed to persuade the Weasleys and Remus into some manipulation that ended up backfiring on him, big time, and that's generated more than a little animosity and rancor, to say the least. I'd hazard a guess that the "inner circle" of the Friends of Fried Fowl, i.e. those for whom Albus' word was gospel, fell in with his plan while others, like Tonks, did not.

I really snickered when the Hat channeled Pink Floyd as a sorting song, I wonder if Harry introduced it to modern muggle music or if it had another source. Too, the prank that Harry played on the twins was masterful and I can't wait to see what else he's got laying in wait for them.

Bravo!!
