Hello all,  I am a 53 year old from NZ.  Although SSHG is how I started and still my main pairing, I'll give pretty much any pairing a try, whether it be reading or writing.  Sev and Herms need a bit of variety at times. ;)

Okay, Harry may have dispatched the most evil wizard of all time, but Hermione's still braver for having the nerve to ask Severus Snape how often he spanks the monkey... LOL!!!!Nevermind Ginny, I can just picture Harry and Ron's horrified reactions to that one. *Snerk*God, I love this story!!!!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

LOL. Give the girl a medal!

Wow, is it warm in here to anyone else?  Whew, this story is hawt!  I just read it straight through and was disappointed to find we're not at the wedding night yet.  And I can't bookmark it to make sure I don't miss the next chapter.  Waaahhh! More soon?  Please?!?

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

I think you can bookmark it, you just can't mark it as a favourite.  Thanks for the review.

Boy, the tension is certainly mounting from chapter to chapter--I don't know if I can wait for the actual wedding night!  Like seeing how both Hermione and Severus are unconsciously letting down their defenses for each other.  Will we ever see a confrontation between an angry Millicent Bulstrode or Professor Trelawney and Hermione, accusing her of stealing "their" prospective husband like he was a coveted sweet or something?    I can't generally see Trelawney being confrontational, but she never did like Hermione so you never know...I hope Severus gets the drop on Hermione on the wedding night with some "extra credit" research as a surprise!  It certainly wouldn't do for a Slytherin like him not to have something up his sleeve in order to tip the balance of power back toward him!Great story as usual, and I am literally panting for the next chapter!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

You definitely haven't heard the last from the Terrible Three!

okay, you know how to write anticipation.  However, I keep thinking that Umbridge didn't bow out that easily??  Looking forward to the next chapter.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Smart one, you are! Umbridge will be making an appearance later.

Snape is so wonderfully OOC here, I simply love him. So much at her mercy. Fantastically at her mercy, and she barely guesses what power she wields. 

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

He really is out of his depth, but I think he will learn to swim soon!

Mellyissa

Wow, wonderful chapter I really love this story and I can't wait untill they actually get to be with one another! It's very well written and quitte engaging, sexy and funny. However, I do hope Snape can take the lead as well and surprise the hell out of Hermoine... :)Cannot wait for further chapters!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

I'm sure he will have his moments. She's not the only researcher!

This is a wonderful take on the marriage law challenge. I absolutely love the interaction between Hermione and Severus and Ginny is a hoot as Hermione's confidante. I am definitely looking forward to further chapters of this marvelous fic.

Thank you!

Oh, dear lord in heaven, she's a thorough little witch, isn;t she!  This is adorable and rather erotic, too!  Can't wait to see what she decides to explore next.  I love the way this is developing their relationship, as well.  They're really ather sweet together!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

She of the lists and planners has to be well-organised... in EVERYTHING!

Ha ha!  I love this twist.  Hermione is the spark that starts the fire. 

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

And what a conflagration it will be!

That conversation between Severus and Hermione was hawt and crazy!  I can't wait to read your chapter about the wedding night.  It's gonna be nuts *teehee*

Talk about taking Gryffindor courage to the extreme.  That is quite amusing.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Thanks!

Great plot, funny dialogues, inspiring ideas!!Two days are sweet torture to Hermione--and Severus--but to me, waiting for the new chapter is just as much torture! But hey, Hermione must learn to keep her mouth shut or it will backfire in the worst of moments.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

She trusts Ginny.  After all, she knows Ginny's secrets too!

Eager for the wedding night, are we ? *grin* And all this "I want to protect him, comfort him, give him the affection he deserves" If it's not love to me. What else could it be?

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

I think she's pretty keen!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Only Hermione would issue a directive like that!

Oh, Hermione really is a piece of work.  I do imagine that her dedication is going to pay off...  Delightful chapter!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Oh, yes.   Nothing like a well-planned wedding night!

I do like how you've turned the MLC completely on its head. This is a funny, charming and endearing tale thus far. I love the characterisations of Severus and Hermione, esp. the latter, taking the bull by the horns, so to speak, but still retaining a hint of vulnerability underneath.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Thank you!

I like the way she doesn't back down from the embarassing and uncomfortable.  It is almost as if she pretends it isn't embarassing and that makes it so.And he asks a good question: is it affection or is it pity?  So far, it could be either.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Yes, she is still sorting it out in her own head.  Thanks for your review!

Really, really, enjoying this story.  More please, as soon as possible would be lovely.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

And more shall come.  Thanks for reviewing!

mistress brewster

Wow, very sexy stuff! I have a little trouble seeing Hermoine being so forward with him! It's fun, though, to watch his discomfort and growing interest.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Well, someone has to take the lead, and in this story, it is Hermione for a change! Thanks for reviewing!

10/10

sinbad

Wow, Hermione certainly got pretty personal with Severus.  You are really breathing new life into the marriage law challenge.  It's also nice to see Hermione as something other than a victim from it.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

I didn't want her to be a swooning maiden in this.  She's a take charge kinda gal!

10/10

Too funny for words! Great update.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
