I liked this story so much I added it to my favorites so I will know when you update and then I went to your account and snagged your story 'Seeing What Lies Ahead'... just to see if you other stories are as good as this one!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I am very flattered. I will tell you, seeing what lies ahead is not so hot. It was a long time ago, and I don\'t even think I could finish it now. But read on if you so choose. I am glad you like it so much. Chapter two should be up very soon!

Date: May 16, 2008 Title: Chapter 1: For Raspberry_Rave
Great little story! I caught the White Christmas reference, "... spit in her eye" and the Mrs. Doubtfire inference... "smell like a Yeti" and I caught the mention of the Borrowers. All of which made the story very enjoyable, because I like that kind of thing. It just makes me wonder if I got them all...

Contractual Obligations by gidge_8 (Reviews - 751)
Selling herself into a marriage contract, Ginny finds herself playing a deadly game, ultimately pitting her husband against her lover and a father against his son. Many twists and turns, depth and evil characters - and a long story of sweet and true love.Category: Long and CompletedNew! Epilogue is up! Yes, I know, the story has been "complete" for a couple of years, but this ending has been partially written for a long time and it ties up some loose ends.

Date: Jan 22, 2009 Title: Chapter 7: D Is For DRAGON
At last! I enjoyed your update so much I actually went back and read the whole thing from the beginning again! I love the way you have Narcissa just jump right in and start plotting to get Draco to fall in love with Ginny again... and I love a slightly jealous Draco!
Author's Response:
Thank you Elspeth! It's wonderful to hear that my story stands to be reread and re-enjoyed.^_^
And yeah, Narcissa is often seen as the villain, but I think of her more as a victim in this fic, so it was cool to have her help out for the sake of Draco. And yeah, jealous!Draco is always fun!
Thanks for reviewing!

I think your baking ideas are a little too mouth-watering! I want to visit that bakery! Great story... I'm already looking forward to the next chapter!
Author's Response: I feel like that when I'm writing. It's really awful because I'm going on a diet soon. When that happens, I'll need to start writing about lowfat things. I mean, a girl can only resist so much.

Date: Mar 15, 2009 Title: Chapter 7: German Chocolate Cake with Fudge Icing
I really love your story! You have a really great touch and I just love the idea of Pansy and Ron, next to Draco and Ginny it's my favorite match.
I'm sorry for your loss and hope you are doing well.
Author's Response: I am doing alright, now. Thank you. I appreciate it.
I do love Ron and Pansy together, especially in this particular story. I always feel like Draco/Ginny is a gateway relationship for Ron/Pansy. So, I would like to try it where Ron/Pansy is the gateway for Draco/Ginny. But we'll see how that works out in the future chapters.

This story is just like the confections Ginny sells in her bakery... utterly delicious!
Author's Response: Haha, thank you.
Date: Apr 08, 2009 Title: Chapter 9: Chocolate Dipped Cookies
Serena is an adorable child... you really bring her to life. I'm glad you updated so quickly, I do love to follow a good story! I'm looking forward to seeing just how you bring Draco and Ginny together!
Author's Response: Thank you. Serena is this spunky little thing with an honest heart. She's there to be on both Draco's side and Ginny's side, rather than one. In my eyes, Serena is supposed to, in a way, prove how reformed the Malfoys have become because of the way they grew her. That is one of my main intentions for her character. Another one is because she's just cute.
Date: Apr 11, 2009 Title: Chapter 10: Chocolate Muffin
They say that hunger is the best sauce... woman... you've got me starving! LOL
Author's Response: Lol...it's funny because I'm writing about the bakery...bakery...food...hungry...get it? Thank you for the lovely compliment. I hope my attempt at humor wasn't too not funny.
