Harry Potter and the Marriage Contracts
(#) DrT 2008-03-10
-blink- I am confused. If Ginny still thinks she has any chance with Harry, shouldn't she WANT Ron closer to him? to give her the excuse to be close as well? Isolating Ron from Harry would decrease whatever chance she thinks she has.

- As I see it, she was isolating him to try to force him to come crawling back. No one ever accused her of being a rocket scientist...
- Besides, it's not Harry she wants, it's his bank roll...Harry Potter and the Marriage Contracts

I see. This Ginny is a 'ho. Maybe Harry should hint Draco still has money. I bet Harry could buy Draco on the condition he buy Ginny and they be polite to him. Wouldn't Mommy and Daddy Weasley just love that?

- Oh, that's evil. I like it. Of course I've got to let Daphne slap her around a bit first...Harry Potter and the Marriage Contracts

Yeah. What they said.
Are you going to satirize all the Voldiedefeats of Fanfiction? In that case, you'll need more than one a chapter. Great one, though. Don't forget the Semtex cake or the summoning of the bus.
The omake was great. I'm looking forward to Mummy Tracey's Talk, and the Grinny-confrontation. Oh Gods, Ginny is a grating character. Kill her in an interesting way, won't you? The comon cold will do.

- As many as I can work in.
- Ginny serves a special purpose in life. She is the prime bad example.Harry Potter and the Marriage Contracts

So far i'm very pleased with the story. It's something different from the typical stories after DH, with other characters taking the front of the scenes, but the really good thing about it is that slowly the depth of the characters is expressed through their dialogues. I actually don't know if you are even following the Horcruxes story of canon, but I guess it doesn't matter.
Very quick update by the way, which is always nice. It's great so far and really looking forward for the rest.
If you can, try to include more loopholes of the rules that Harry can use, it makes some interesting scenes with the rumours, confrontations with teachers/Dumbledore, surprises for Daphne and generally fun as you have shown so far.Harry Potter and the Marriage Contracts

I really liked this chapter. That story Neville fed the headmaster was funny. That he lapped it up so easily makes him look damn pathetic.
At this point it looks like Harry and Daphne's relationship is shaping up quite nicely. It will be interesting to see how things develop between them in the future.
I do admit to wanting to know how Moldy died in this story. Something has me suspecting that Harry and Neville used muggle methods to off him. I also want to know how Neville forced himself into a fight. I happen to think having Neville as a best mate is a huge upgrade over Ron.
Speaking of Ron, I wonder what his opinion is of Harry dating a Slytherin. I doubt it would be favorable. Considering how he folded over with his mother, I doubt he will ever be as close to Harry as he once was. While he may have done nothing wrong, he did choose family over Harry and I can't see him being as close as they were once they reconcile.Harry Potter and the Marriage Contracts

Way to go neville, I love it when neville stands up to people. And that story that he told dumbles was great, it's kind of sad that dumbles is going senile and evil at the same time, if he ever was good. and my oh my daphne is falling for harry and harry for her, it doesn't seem like they want to break up at all and the only way that I can think of that harry would date anyone else is that is was something specific in the contract, or if they try dating other people to be sure that they want to be together, or if hermione needs harry right now while the relationship is forming and it takes away from them building their relationship. but poor hermione I felt bad for her she had her friend walk right past her with out even looking in her direction, that must have really hurt. but I hope that harry does at least get a date from padma patil with her showing him diffrent cultures. oh and what if harry and neville had fought through the deatheaters but voldemort had fled, and harry and neville end up resting at #4 and when voldemort shows up petuna hits him with a frying pan and kills him, the power he knows not, an aunt.Harry Potter and the Marriage Contracts

_snicker_ _guffaw_ I loved the story Neville told the Headmaster and I can't believe the old man fell for it. I most definitely like this confident and decisive Neville (obviously, Hannah does too ;)) and he's great support and aid for Harry. The introspection on Daphen's part was quite interesting and I can see things developing quickly to a point, and then both her & Harry deciding to date around a bit and make sure they have "the real thing" before they fully commit to each other.
In the meantime, it's going to be interesting watching Hermione and Tracey freak as their best friends become interested in each other - and Hermione really needs to work on reconnecting with Harry, and seems to want to, to the point where Ron may be the loser if there's a confrontation with Molly. Now, the confrotation I want front row seating for is Dpahne vs. Ginny, it's really no contest and should result in some interesting, and painful, humiliations for Ginny - and then we get to hear Molly screech (give you odds that Harry tells her, less than politely, to shut up as she's not his mother and has no control over him, nor right over him - mind you, I'd be tempted to just tell her to STFU).Author's response
- Yeah, that was suggested on the Caer Azkaban newsgroup. I liked that 'death of voldie'.
- that's pretty much how I'm going to play it. They're getting very close, then back off a bit to make sure it's real.
- Hermione and Tracey will discover a friendship by freaking over their friends.
- YOu've got some good ideas there...Harry Potter and the Marriage Contracts

-Ohh, Neville sh!ttin on Dumbledore.
-Is it me, or are wizarding folk entirely too gullible? That's twice he's been made a fool of.
-By the time they finish telling these stories, Harry will be significantly poorer.
-Ha, Harry got owned by his house elf.
-Well that was an interesting breakdown of the possible candidates.
-Aww, I wanted to see Naville, Hannah, and Daphne's reactions to the theme park.
-amusing omake
-I've got an idea for a story they can tell Dumbledore. Tell him that Harry's really a boy from an alternate universe where Harry Potter is a fictional character. Knowing what was coming, he decided to make some preemptive stirkes, to prevent the disaster that was coming (you can even use references from the books).
