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. ;)

Arg.  Your chapters are too short to give me satisfaction.  I love this story so far, and this different emboldened Hermione is a definite plus to this ship.  Please give me more soon. 

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

I'm sorry! I don't usually write great long chapters, but I do plan to update regularly right through to the end of the challenge!

Response from Stephanie76 (Reviewer)

Alright, just as long as you feed my addiction! *g*

Wow, this just keeps getting better. I really like the way you're portraying the SSHG relationship. Yes, she just needs to keep taking small steps to show him how much he means to her. Excellent work! Cat

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Thanks, Cat!

Ohhhhh, that last bit just made me feel all warm and fluffy~! "Snuggling, indeed." *sigh* I loved it, it had me giggling through the whole thing. XD And Ron able to eat through it. Priceless! Thanks for the new chapter~!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Who wouldn't want to snuggle?  Thanks for the review!

I truly am enjoying their interactions.

I'm pleased you're enjoying it!

Aww, snuggling.  It could just be that Sev learning to snuggle is the most important step he will take toward being able to give and accept that pure kind of care and loving.  Another wonderful chapter with a lovely array of emotion.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Thank you, Merrin.

Oh this is sooo sweet! Hermione is very perceptive. Severus needs some TLC.

It's so beautiful how protective they are becoming of each other.  They really are great together.  Wonderfully written.  Can't wait for the next chapter.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Thank you!

She's great with him!  I'm glad she doesn't let him intimidate her.  I think he's a tad fearful of her in the sexual department!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Poor man doesn't know what to expect!

Very cool! I'm really enjoying this story; the plot is a LOT of fun, and I always enjoy Virgin!Severus. Thanks for posting; I'm really enjoying it. Cat

Snape is in for a hard time, isn't he? With Hermione setting him homework, teasing him & standing up to him in class, his chances of a quiet life after the war are fading rapidly. Nice to see the sparks starting to fly

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Where there are sparks, fire is sure to follow...

Hermione handing out homework to the professor. Now there's a role reversal. Can't wait until he has to put the theory in to practice

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

About time she got her own back!

Hermione's a bit of a harridan in this story. I hope Snape stands up to her & doesn't let her get off with all that bossiness. Loved how they had to check their diaries to fit the wedding into their schedules

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

I think he's a bit flabbergasted at this stage... poor guy doesn't know what hit him!

Snape - a virgin! No wonder he's so bitter & twisted. The girly dialogue is well done. I don't agree with AshenV that this is 10 year old Hermione - this is girly talk any age!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

That's what I thought!

Hermione's really stirred the hornet's nest this time. Snape will be livid

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

He will definitely not be a happy camper!

Hermione not paying attention, and Ron & Harry forming a study group - there's definitley something going on here!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Oh yes!

pearl city princess

Hermione is a real handfull.  She is just what Snape needs.  She is a take charge kind of woman who sees what she wants and goes after it.  I can't wait to read the next chapter, please, please, please tell me it's on it's way.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Yes, yes, yes, coming soon to a screen near you!

This vixen will be the death of him!And now, damn it all, I see I've reached the end of what's been posted so far!  They both may be ambivalent about wanting the wedding night to come, but you've got me pawing at the door!  Evil temptress!!!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

More will come soon.  I'll be posting regularly!  Thanks for reviewing.

Delicious!  And she's chosen well--I learned quite a lot from that particular textbook, once upon a time.  And then put it into practice.I can't wait to see what grades she gives him!!  You are making ME blush! (and giggle and squee!!)

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

LOL! What, YOU are blushing?

Elise_Wanderer

THIS IS WONDERFUL!  I forgot to tell you last chapter how much I also love the idea that Snape is a virgin and Hermione is not!  Brilliant...and actually rather believable!And that she is offering is teach him a thing or two!It is very much in character, as well, for him to try to set terms, and yet be trumped entirely by her counter proposal.  Absolutely great!!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Thank you!

Elise_Wanderer

Oh, I love it!  You DID manage to make her to do it to herself, you clever girl!  And he just may accept her just to spite her!  And what a wonderful discussion with Ginny!  First all the schoolgirl speculations and jokes, and then the pragmatic Miss Granger comes out, laying out all the logical reasons it just might work.Now would it be too much to hope that it might end up also being a love match, in the end?  C'mon, you've already proved yourself wonderfully creative!Onward!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Well, she couldn't leave him to those bitches witches, could she?

Elise_Wanderer

I adore the idea that the Marriage Law is the result of Hermione's own research!  Now, how are you going to manipulate events so it's Snape she has to end up with?  Will that also be the result of who they both are?  Clever!!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Keep reading - you will find out!

I like their secretive relationship.  Ginny is certainly getting an earful, though.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Absolutely.  It's what your best girlfriend is there for, so you can bounce ideas and feelings off her and in the process sort out how you really feel! :)

Elise_Wanderer

An intriguing premise!  I like these new arrangements and can't wait to see where they lead!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Thanks, Elise!
