Summer of Contracts
(#) mathiasgranger 2008-04-07
Well, there we go the marriage contracts are in play. Now I wonder if you are going to do a Clell and have everything conceivably horrible happen to them en route, or introduce a little levity to the mix.
The centaur thing is just bizarre, and I haven't a clue what you plan on doing with it.

To be honest, when I was writing this, she just showed up outside the tunnel opening. Don't you just love it when stories get away from you?
I hope I don't write a story that's depressing. I don't see Clell doing that either, so I'm confused. (Some may say that's my normal state.)
Thanks for the review.

Hmm, I can see that Dumbles is not having a good time of it and is doing a magnificent job of annoying everyone. At this rate, he may end up helping Tom by getting everyone pissed at the "Leader of the Light"; though I can see that annoyance translating more to direct support for Harry over Dumbles rather than outright support for Tom. In any case, it's clearly going to be quite the interesting ride.Summer of Contracts

Excellent chapter but what is it with the centaur? Also you have mention again and again about the love mark. Is there something about it that you keep from us? Update soon.Summer of Contracts

"Do a Clell?"
Have I become an insult or a bad example? Wow.
- Great story, the Centaur Lass with her 'My Stallion' is priceless. Luna and Susan should start calling him that, it would cause his common stock to rise with the other Witches...Summer of Contracts

Nice part here, and really enjoying the character of Laurel a lot, and will be on th lookout for what role she might play(but she seemsreally sweet and hope nothing bad happens to her). Funny, I also really enjoyed the part with Myrtle, and that our sad but friendly ghosts is able to do more than just wail and moan, and she seems like she could actually be a sort of confidant for Harry. Dumbledore, the man seems to be so oblivious that he's trying to drive his allies away with ease, and glad to see Minerva getting fed up, I always wondered why she didn't call him on stuff more than she did, given how protective of her students that she seemed to be. Glad to see Susan in a more positive role as well, and heres hoping that the three of them will be able to make a marriage work. Ginny, well, she needs to figure out that it's not all about her, as there were many witches that grew up with BWL stories that thought they were going to marry him.Summer of Contracts

Very nice indeed.
The contracts, the talks and the hurling of a quaffle at Dumbles. All brilliance.
A centaur girl? COOL! I really like the setup of the Centaur culture, and i like the amusing complications this brings. Minerva was great as well, and Dumbles is really showing the hole in the bottom of his marble bag. Lovely. I don't have a whole lot of E-notices, but this is one of them.
"My stallion." I wouldn't mind being called that. Not one bit.

Oh, and Clell? I think you're just a general example. To me, anywaySummer of Contracts

A wonderful addition to your story, I like the Centaur twist, an opportunity to bring in Firenze perhaps?Summer of Contracts

A nice long update, A also like the idea of Luna and Susan calling Harry "My Stallion" That is nothing but fun and misunderstandings in the making. And a Centaur? A female Centaur? Weird things do keep happening to Harry.

Wow, a centaur that was a real shock but a very pleasent one. and in that act harry has gained more than a daughter, he will have gained the favour of lots of magical beings. and now harry has his wives but I really really hope that the bones family has a marrage contract for the head of the bones family so that harry can marry hermione also, HA take that bigots!Summer of Contracts

Congratulations, I haven't seen a new wrinkle in a story for a while. I think the centaur story line has several fruitful possibilities. I think Harry and company need the wizzarding equivelent of a good lawyer. Maybe Madeye knows one? I continue to enjoy your fine story. Thanks for writing. W.
