Merlin's Massive Member???
Dear God what were you thinking?
Circe's swollen slit that was the most outrageous illiteration I've ever read! Morganna's Marvelous Mammalries, couldn't you think of something better? Flamel's flaming phallus, you ought to be able to do better than that. Agrippa's outrageous areolas (OK that one's close at least) I don't know what to expect next but by McGonagalls mighty muffin it had better be good!
That little bit where Hannah explains to Daphne about Hermione, was that just her opinion or a little of your own lesson to all those folks who won't let go of the drugged Hermione party line? I noticed that comment about Hermione not seeing Ron all weekend. Important? Snape's slimey schlong, I think so. Could it be that our little Ron is a playa? Did he take advantage of the fact that Hermione is preoccupied to dart off the grounds with some other girl? I know, I just can't get over the bad!Ron thing. I see the slag lording it over Hermione that she took Ron right out from under her nose, Ron just smirking in the background, "Hermione, if I could get good enough from you I wouldn't have had to look elsewhere". Then she runs to Harry for comfort and Daphne has to deal with her jealousy.
Regarding Tracey, you originally painted the picture where Daphne was dependent on her but somehow, from her reactions I think that Tracey may need Daphne as much as the other way around.
And if you wanted to go with the whole Pacino "Scarface" story of Harry defeating Voldemort you could always have Harry and Daphne see the movie in a theatre, and with some help from Neville, Hannah, and maybe even Hermione if she comes around, they recreate the scene in the Room of Requirements then stash a memory in a Penseive Harry happens to buy, then arrange for Dumbles, maybe through Ron, to come across it. Given the power that the effects could have on Wizards not used to Muggle cinema it would be very persuasive and funny.

P.S. Given that Harry defeated the most powerful evil Dark Lord in history to save the world, including Daphne, what could she possibly do to earn a place at his side? Perhaps she could defeat the powerful evil Light Lord in history to save Harry?Author's response
- That Merlin was rather proud of his manhood?
- Ok, McGonagall's Mighty Muffin is just wrong.
- Those are pretty much the same thing aren't they?
- Ron's general being scarce is the leading edge of a plot point, yes.
- Any mention of Snape's Schlong, slimey or not, is just wrong. Stop that.
- Could be, yes. There is a difference between being a bad guy and being an ass. I have said over and over Ron is not a bad guy in this story, but he might well turn out to be an ass. Ron would never have a confrontation like that with Ron, because I wouldn't be able to keep Harry from spreading little chunks of Ron all over the castle. Murder, no matter how justified, is wrong.
- The Tracey/Daphne dynamic is a two way street, just like all relationships.
- Daphne doesn't need to 'earn' a place with Harry. He's not looking for that, just a partner.Harry Potter and the Marriage Contracts

I love the Feeling I get reading this, very high brow with a bit of British Sarcasm slipped in!
I can't wait for the two 'best Friends' to talk and I have a louzy feeling about the wherebouts of one Ron Weasley! I think that Hermione will need her friends more soon!

Or if you wanted to spoof other movies go for Predator with Harry as Schwarzeneger. Imagine Harry being pinned up against the wall by Voldemort and hissing back in his macarbe white face as his silver Death Eater mask falls to the floor, "You one ugly mother-fucker."
Nah, that may be a bit much, even for Dumbledore.

Love this story. Your characters, all of them, are wonderfully drawn.
When this started, I was looking forward to finding out how Harry and Neville killed Voldie. However, I'm of the mind now that you shouldn't tell the reader how they did it. More fun that way.
Thanks for writing.

- Thanks
- I don't really intend to tell what happened, as it isn't really the story. Of course I wasn't going to explain the 'falling out' either...Harry Potter and the Marriage Contracts

Nice story though I'd say that it seems like Harry found "the one" a bit quick. Hmm... I hope you'll write a clash between Daphne and Hermione sometime soon.
Looking forward to more ways Harry didn't kill Voldemort!Author's response
- There is always the possiblity that Daphne isn't his Ms. Right you know. She might just be Ms. Right Now...
- Wait until you see what I've got planned for a banana peel, a bath tub and a toaster oven...Harry Potter and the Marriage Contracts

Heya, Clell,
Fun chappie. I'm of course honored you made use of my offering... I think there might be more reviews mentioning it than I've gotten total for my fic started over on FF.net. Makes me want to think of another.... meh. Blank now.
Anyhow, I like the way things are moving... Harry and Daphne seem perfect (which is nice for Harry and for readers who like Harry, but maybe it's too perfect).
I could see them taking the next and then Daphne gets doubts or Tracey's paranoia gets out of hand. (Harry: You had me followed, Daph? "No, that was all Tracey's idea" "Did you know?" "Umm...." well, it's a rough idea. They could also decide that they can't deal with the baggage they bring right now...
Your Ginny sounds seriously deluded/conflicted if she thinks Harry's hers after the way she tried to force his friends away. I agree with the reviewers suspicious of Ron, and I'm also glad to see Hermione seeing Harry happy without her. I'm not too chuffed with her (+Ron) taking the path of least resistance away from Harry. (Even if Harry doesn't mind that they did.)
Anyhow. Fun stuff. Thanks

I'm thoroughly enjoying this story so far. It's great to see the lesser used characters having larger roles.
The only gripe I have is how you left out the date at the 'Theme Park'. I imagine that would be quite the spectacle for Daphne and Hannah. No matter though. That's very minor.
Can't wait for more.
scaryisntitAuthor's response
- Oh I wrote the Theme Park... It was unreadable. I worked on it for a week, then edited for another week, then cut my losses and posted the story without it. The only decent scene was Harry winning the large purple rabbit by cheating at a rigged game...Harry Potter and the Marriage Contracts

Well i've just had a thought, its rare but it happens. if nothing happens between harry and tonks, can she be the one that harry turns to for advice on girls, when he doesn't know what to do.Author's response

Another lovely chapter. Loved the interactions of the characters and Nev's story to Dumble's; can't wait for more of those to show up. Will you ever tell how it really happened?
I too have wondered about the adult student status at Hogwarts. It would be or should be more like college for seventh years. Glad to see someone else using there head.
Kudos for the wonderful flushing out of both Daphne and Hannah. I like how Daphne has her own overly controlling/bossy friend just like Harry. Some stories are written in such a way it makes you want to have Harry tell his friend to shove it and walk away.
Cyber chocolate to you in the hopes for a quick update of this little gem.Author's response
- No, not planning on it... In the last chapter I might have Harry tell dumbles that the real story was one of those he was told, but refuse to specify which...
- I'm glad someone saw what I was doing, giving Daphne her own Hermione...
- I'm always open to bribes...Harry Potter and the Marriage Contracts

its an interesting fic. while not the greatest thing i have ever written, its well written, interesting, and well thought out. i also find the idea of harry introducing her to the muggle world interesting as well.
i am looking forward to seeing more of this fic.Author's response
- You've ever written????
- You mean that wasn't me hacking away at the keyboard for all those hours? Ah man, I've got to cut back on the meds.
