    I came across this when I was browsing through member profiles . I tried searching for it in the DLP library but couldn't find it suprisingly as caitiff was/is a DLP member.
    Have mercy on this wretched soul if it already exists.

    I found it to be quite an amusing read.

    Not terrible, but not fantastically interesting either. Solidly written.

    3/5

    Yeah, I'm still around. That was actually done for a scene contest in September I just never got around to posting it.

    That "monster in his chest" screams love potions, so why not turn it around on her? In my mind, love potions might as well be rape so she deserved everything she got.

    Decent twist at the end, but that's about it. Not as good as most of Catiff's work, but being that it's a small one shot, it's decent. 3/5

    is that like a new drug. get high on love not drugs? it was good regardless. my question iss... is it addictive. that would be fucked up. two 80 year old love junkies sucking dick in knockturn alley to get their love fix. i guess not harry, cuz he "broke the influence" but definitely ginny. he should write the follow up. call it something like, "love aint all its cracked up to be" a play on words with crack and everything. 4/5

    A rather Sadistic ending, though not as well written as I would have hoped. I didn't like the fluff, no matter how neccessary to the ending, but I say a good attempt for a short one-shot. 3/5

    It was pretty funny in its own way, if you feel Harry was just playin her the whole time then the fluff takes on a more acceptably darker tone.

    Incidentally, why is this in the trash bin? If most people liked it enough to give at least a 3/5 then shouldn't it be under humor?

    Because it was H/G perhaps? I don't really care. One shots are just throw aways to me, don't really care whether they get rave reviews or flames. All that matters is that I get the surplus material out of my head.

    So what if it's in the trash bin? I didn't post it here for a reason. If I had put up and asked for reviews, I might be a bit sad to see it go, but it really doesn't matter why.

    No. Just because a story is H/G doesn't mean it Auto-Trash Bin's. it's pretty amusing at the end seeing a sadistic Harry. 4/5

    A wise man once said, "The only good Harry/Ginny is a dead Harry/Ginny" but a Harry who knows what's happening and is willing to screw Ginny over is something else. I enjoyed this, especially that little twist at the end.

    Shame Ginny didn't turn out pregnant; then she would really know how Merope Gaunt felt...

    I didn't mean it as any kind of defense to your fic or anything. It was just idle curiosity on my part.

    With a 4 star rating, why is this in the trash bin?

    LOL! Hilarious story. Ginny certainly got what she deserved. I don't find very many good Harry/Ginny stories (Although I prefer other pairings), but there is the ocassional good H/G story.

    Has anyone read other fanfic where the ginger tosser slips Harry a potion? It doesn't have to be a main point of the fanfic. I do remember reading something similar, but they kept obliviating Harry and making him think he was with Ginny.

    Yeah, there have been a couple of fics with similiar plots.

    Also I think you meant insane in the last quote of your sig. :p

    bungle in the jungle comes to my mind. though it is only the prologue more or less before the story really starts.

    Aside from that there are a few others but like most harry/ginny they are pretty badly written so i won't recommend em here. if you insist pm me and i'll hook you up with one or 2 of em (though why you'd want to is beyond me :p)
    if you want bungle check the independant harry section of the site
