Are you...fully functional?" Remus asked with a straight face

Oh, how absolutely delightful!  This was done very tongue-in-cheek with not so subtle digs at various ships and those that ship them.

Yep, interesting

Now would you please explain to me why I've got to marry Ginny Weasley or my...my...thing won't work any more? HAAA!! I could just imagine Harry saying that!!  Gawds this story is brilliant!  And hilarious! My god... I thought they would have twelve months before they would have to marry! Not twelve days! But wouldn't Arthur be able to break the contract, seing as he is the one who- albeit unintentionally- created it? Unless, of course, the consent of both the parties that created the contract is needed... and that would be hard, seing as how James is dead. And I'll just stop rambling now. lol OH!! I hope you update soon! But judging by your author's note, it will be a while. Hm. Well, hurry up and write chapter 3! I'm really curious to know the outcome of this story.

You are simply diabolical- I'm not sure what will kill Harry first, Voldy, embarrasment, Ginny, Molly, Arthur or himself- this really puts the shackles to it- just imagining how the brothers will take this bit of news- and despite that H/G are made for each other, and that they both have deep feelings for each other- this could be a very cold does of water for them- better have lots of Firewhiskey on hand.

Bravo

I'm one of those boring people who does things in as structured a way as possible, so the mere existance of this fic has me shaking my head a bit here. I find it hard enough to keep one fic organized and well written, so the notion you can find the focus and the energy to launch yet another story amid all your other projects is simply beyond me. That this has the makings of a very fun read is all the more impressive. Some of us are obviously blessed with a lot more creativity than others.

I like the notion of an entire story based on unintended consequences. Mixing James' cavalier attitude and actions and Arthur's curiosity is definitely a good combination for coming up with something like this too, all the more so because I can actually see someone in their situation saying something like, "If we ever get out of this, I'll...." Now granted, committing their children to marrying each other that way is a heck of a lot more of a stretch, but it suits your purposes so who am I to complain?

This chapter builds on that nicely. Having Harry and Ginny very close but not together and not admitting (to themselves at least) what they feel for each other is a great place to start this. It gives you the opening to have them be somewhat accepting of the idea while still being completely outraged. I thought you handled Harry's reaction very well by having Remus keep him from completely losing it (even at the news of your rather ingenious and hilarious punishments) and shifting him to the task at hand. I think that gives you the opening for more fireworks ahead. I'm especially looking forward to Ginny discussing the situation with dear old dad!

Anyway, this is a fun start. Nicely done.

Okay you can't just leave us hanging here...but you seem to love letting us sweat! I love this one just as much as the other series you are writing...you have a wonderful talent....keep the words coming!

Obsidiana

Ahh! That's great! Poor Harry.

Oh, this is hilarious!  What a great little plot bunny.  The punishment is a nice touch.

I can only imagine how Harry will get up his courage to tell Ginny--and how Ginny will react!

ROFL!

I'm really curious to see where you go with this, and if you ever felt like visiting my LJ you'd find out why!

I loved the way you set it up, the whole thing with the quill was very inventive as are all the hedges fencing the contract around. Poor Harry! I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I'm sure he'll have done both by the time Ginny has finished absorbing the situation. I can't wait to hear m'laddo explain it to her. I can hear him now... "Have you heard of the Wizarding decree of 1016....?"

I had to laugh as Remus' assessment that it was worse than Voldemort. I dare say at H/G's age, it is. Good one!

OMG

I love it

Cant wait for more! (i only hope its not to long a wait)

Pazza

Oh WOW! this is a really outstanding idea and story. You are also a very gifted writer I love the flow of the story. You can always tell the really good writers...

I  am looking forward to reading the next chapters...... Please update!

Anytime there is a posting from you I jump at the chance to read your wonderful stories.  I love your Consequences series and after reading the Prologue and Chapter one of this story will be eagerly awaiting it's updates as well.  As always, you imbue a wonderful sense of fun into your writing which makes your characters all the more believable...even when Harry and company find themselve in less-than-ideal situations.  Thank you for posting this story.

Why would the decree make them marry when neither is even out of Hogwarts?  You are so mean.  And I can't wait to read the next chapter, evil friend.

But Ginny isn't of age yet . . . I can't wait to see what Arthur has to say about this.  And Molly--oh my goodness!!!

Excellent story!!! I love the concept!!!

I'm looking forward to more!!!

OH MY! Love the whole concept of the story. I guess especially in the wizarding world--this idea gives a whole different idea about verbal contracts..(A verbal contract is only as good as the paper it is written on.)

Keep up the awesome work! I can't wait to read more,

Takon

I hope its not too long a wait, I can't wait to see Ginny's reaction to all of this, and to hear what Arthur has to say about the whole situation.  I really think Molly will make him pay, in one way or another.

OMG OMG OMG OMG.  How in the world are Ginny and Harry going to fall in love and have sex in twelve days?  This is amazing...I mean I've read a fic like this before...but it was poorly written and didn't make any sense. But this... I love how the arrangement was totally by accident.  I wonder if Arthur will even remember...

It's so nice to see Harry bantering with Ron... it's the kind of snappy dialogue that you do really well and it always makes me smile. I especially loved Ron getting his own back by teasing Harry about Ginny.

And this "Have a lemon drop. I've found them to be most soothing in a stressful situation." Is so completely Dumbledore. So completely random, I loved it.

The interaction with Remus and Harry was nice too. I find in Fandom that many try to insert Sirius' personality into Remus once he becomes Harry's guardian, something I'm glad you haven't done. Sirius would have let Harry make a fool out of himself by shouting out his lack of *ahem* possibilities, whereas Remus would definitely cast a silence charm.

"But her birthday is in twelve days! How are we supposed to get married in twelve days?"

"You'll think of something, Harry."

Oooh, I hope so! Something tells me Ginny's not going to take this very well. I'm sure chapter two will be worth the wait!

Promises to be intriguing. I can see our happy couple rebelling against being told what to do. Look forward to the next chapter.

EEEEE!

Oh this is juat too funny!
