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. ;)

I love this story. Ginny is so funny, wanting to know all the juicy details then being horrified when she finds out. Hermione is right, Severus deserves someone to put him first, defend and love him. I like your Hermione, her boldness is just what Severus needs. Also, the scenes between the two are so hot and the honeymoon hasn't even begun yet. Outstanding chapter, I'd give you ten stars if I could.

I feel I want to protect him, comfort him, give him the affection he deserves, but I don’t know whether that is really love. But I do know I want to love him. I hope that’s enough.”Wonderful speech. how do we know what love is. But that she wishes to love him is in that case somewhat close or maybe even to it, or not? It is so much what he and she deserve.It’s the way everyone just assumes Severus will be an awful husband. No-one ever gives him a chance.” She turned tear-streaked eyes to the redheadShe is fighting this for him. nice girl. she knows about dignity and respect and honour!!Did she really care for him, or was it simply pity?NONONO no pity, you stupid. belive it. she really wants you for being you!!about masturbation and taking matters in had. getting ready for her so to speak . she wants to make a long distance runner out of him? *gg* she is soo straight forward. and he swallows all her demands, wishes, offers. anything.  well, at least he feeded her with some images she will never forget. Can't await her wedding night.

the worst case scenario has happened. the daily prophet blazons out the secret of the year.gr. whom do we have to thank for this??well, anyhow. I must say they managed it like King and Queen!wow.sort of a test for their working together and pulling on ONE string together. Very well done indeed.Him visiting her in her quarters.  well well he is getting a little more relaxed. and his first active part in some snogging. mmmhh.but all Mister Knightley himself, ofcourseShe never misses a chance of having him on for his virginity state. cruel girl.well, as long as she has to "pay" for it the way it suits her, all is well. heheYes, it will be "hard" for him to teach the gir,l once he got to know her "closer" I am so sure about t hat. *grin*

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

He is loosening up, that's for sure!

Harry is scared of your mother. He offed Voldemort, but he is scared ofyour mother. You realise if we had set your mum on Voldemort, we couldhave saved ourselves all that trouble!” Tears of laughter ran downtheir cheeks as they imagined a fierce Molly Weasley facing off againstMr Evil Incarnate.this made me laugh soo hard!!thank you soo much!!Suddenly, she felt a strong hand reach around her waist and pull herinto a darkened classroom. The faint yet distinctive scent of thePotions classroom alerted her mind to her assailant’s identity, and thelean, hard body behind her reminded her senses of his masculinity.Letting herself relax into his arms briefly, she sighed as he abruptlyreleased her and moved away.And that one had me breathless.I really thought he tasted blood. well, at least it gives him an idea of how to woe for his girl. Since when has Hermione ever defied a teacher?this is indeed extraordinary. wow what courage. and yes, she was overdoing it. she needs to show him respect. and if she really wants to speak for the sake of justice, than find another way. well, she has a lot to go through nowadays. let'S see what happens till Saturday.and after..

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Yes, she did overstep, didn't she!

Gods, your Hermione really is unbelievable LOLYou surely know how to build up the tension, don't you?I'm very much looking forward to the next chapter full of humour and sexual tension.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

I'm aiming to be a little different in this LOL!

it is most interesting to have her as the sexually introduced part, the one who know how and what and why and is not so shy and timmid and careful to treat. no, she gets right to the point , and he has to swallow it all, and looks like the teenager. haha soo nice.she already likes the idea of being together with him. They even found some items to talk about.In a way it is good that  she took him. or he her.now the whol wizzarding world will see it as a sacrifice for having sent her researchoutcome to the ministry, with this curse of a marriage law to come. a heroine indeed.And it is good you gave her the confident Ginny. women need to talk about these things. or else she woudl burst.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

You know, you are really good at figuring this out!

Hermione wishes for new offers for Snape. I know some.The whole year of "Hogwarts girls slumber party gone wild"They would be most needed now.Can't we mix those two tales? The witch had touched him. Voluntarily. He really did need a good witch to sort him out, and it looked like he was about to get one. Come, Miss Granger, it appears we have a date to arrange.” I just love love love these sentences!!!nothing more to comment.wonderful. hehehe is the one who will be taught at last.hope he is a good pupil or else there will be a lot of detention set, for sure.She has many demands! but she is right about most. maybe not when it comes to the calling him Sevikins in front of all ... ahem.we hope she will spare him and her this.  if she wants this marriage to work she does have to show some respect. As he has to show her. will be nice to look at. 

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Hehe, she's just teasing him!

once we get past the initial... twenty years or so.”yes this is an optimistic guess.she surely must be crazy. I hope it is not only her feeling of responsibility for his bad luck. she can not help all the world just because she is there. There are so many more men angry about here, I am sure. Why not ask them if they need any help before throwing herself to that man?well, I know the answer already. it called to her.I wish I could take a glimps at the going ons in the dungeon right now. what does he make of this. of her?Why didn't he hex her after this question about his being a virgin. He would never have allowed this to happen before, would he.He is getting softer, lets people in. let's see how far this grows.any one who is not too daft would chose Hermione among all those proposing.she has a ligth way of thinking about sex, I would never have guessed.At least she did come to the point, that marrying is more than the official cerifiicate to have sex on a regular basis.there is so much more to it.let's see who stumbles over what next.

that is the fate of those who compile  statisticsAnd the silly short sighted unfeeling absolutely not-pedagogical Politicans make a horror scenario for all the people they work for.grr.Intersting that the might think of Snape and him being involved before she thinks of herself.She has hundreds of thousands of enimies right now. that is unfair. poor girl.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

You are absolutely right on the mark there!

*snicker* Yes, Sev, how often do you wank? Oh, at least twice a day ever since I found out I was marrying you. XD I love this story. I just got back from the new movie and I'm hearing AR's voice in the back of my head. Oh, so, yum! XD And Gin is just perfect... Frustrated much! Thank you for the laugh, I totally needed it at... way too late at night. X__X

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Oh good lord!  These two really need a snog-fest!  His outburst had me going... Snape has no clue that he can be sexy, does he?I love Ginny's support in all this, and how much she wants to know the details then squacks when Hermione says anything remotely detailed!  Really like the interactions.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Thanks, bea!

OMG!  That was awesome!  I wouldn't be able to leave if my man told me he needed to go wank and think about me.  That was frickin hot!  Thank you so much for this story I love it soooooo much!  I can't wait to see what happens next.  Much Love ~ Brena

I LOVE THIS STORY.  Each chapter is better than the last.  Snape and Hermione are warm, smart, funny and sexy which makes them so endearing.  You are doing a beautiful job, keep up the good work.  Please update soon, the wait is torture.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Thank you.  I'm working on the next one!

While I admit that I am so looking forward to their first time together that I can hardly wait, there is no doubt that you make the waiting time extremely entertaining. To be honest, I am almost looking forward to when this story is completed so I can read it all over again in one setting without having to wait (if I can stand the heat that is:-)).In the mean time I am very much looking forward for the next update, feel free to drop any sleep, work, family, friends etc etc so you can write as quickly as humanly possible and update even sooner:-))

I love to imagine Snape in the shower masturbating.  What a thought.  My knickers are all twisted up.  Just kidding.  Great chapter though.  A forceful Hermione can be a scary thought.  Can't wait for the next chapter.  please up date soon.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

LOL.  I'll let your imagination run its course! Thanks for reviewing!

*snerk*Poor Ginny - she's trying SO hard, but it's not easy to be Hermione's BFF at the moment, is it?

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

At least she will know she can tell Hermione anything when her turn comes!
