Great story. Looking forward to the next knot.

Wow! I am not mad you killed Ron (he isnt one of my favourite characters) but I was saddened by it. This chapter wasgreat.

Have you posted this story on another site? It looks very familiar...you've firmly ditched canon too, french heritage? Hermione Claire? Oh my...

I just finished Bundle of Joy and I'm back for more...you do not disappoint. :-)  At least Hermione has seen the first inklings of Snape's goodness - even if its quickly masked and hidden deep in the center of that tough heart of his. Can't wait to see what's up next!

just jumped on this ride and am enjoying - thanks for your imaginative use of canon - very fresh and looking forward to see where this goes!

as always... "what will she think of next?"

the metaphysics of going into your own memory, not to mention stealing cigarettes...fascinating!

and I like your chapter title a lot.

The plot thickens, just like a well cooked pot of beef and potato stew.

Neville is a lovely young man to offer for Hermione, but I believe that there is another who would make a much better husband and protector for her.

Can't wait to see where this story takes me!

I love this story!  I remember reading these chapters before somewhere... Ashwinder, maybe?  At any rate, it's one of my favorites and I'm so glad to see it appearing here.  I eagerly await the next chapters (bounce, bounce)!

I was excited to see that you've posted a new chapter and now I can't possibly be patient to wait for another. Is tomorrow too soon to ask for more?

Waiting on the edge of my seat,

Drusilla

Yippie!  Another LadyTuesday story!  And it's a corker, too!


I absolutely love Marriage Law stories, and I'm squeeeeing over this one already. 

Looking forward to the angst and the fun as only you can do it!

What an amazingly written chapter. The feelings you evoked in this chapter were so real and palatable. I look forward to see where you are going with this!

If we're reading this, we're SSHG shippers.  Ron had to leave in order to pave the way clear for Severus and Hermione.  It wasn't as bad as I was expecting, anyway.  I was expecting him to have been raped and tortured with knives and stuff.  It was well written, and I do see how it would take a long time to write it.

no flames here.  i see that the death of ron was necessary to the story.  interesting way to say goodbye to some one.  well written, as always.  thanks so much

That was good, having Hermione observing both the memory Snape and the real Snape reacting to the events. :)

welcome back!!  I knew there was a reason I didn't delete "Tying Knots" from my favorites!  
Can't waint to see what happens next!!!

This has all of the earmarks of a very well-written story. I look forward to reading more.

wow, i can't wait for the next chapter!  this was a great one!

Blimey. Severus is going to well annoyed now! lol... I love this story already... and being a bit of a Ron basher, I hope he can't come back...meaning Hermione has to marry someone else. I wonder who??

Fabulous start to a Marriage Law fic.  Go Hermione, don't apologise for the choice you had to make!  Although I do wonder what political manuvering Malfoy Sr. has up his sleeve to bring Snape and Granger together...and I do wonder how Draco feels about all this?  I look forward to the next chapter!  Thanks so much for sharing!

Hmmm... so... Ron dies? Well, that sucks. I mean, I assume he dies as the proposal has already been accepted, and this is, of course, SS/HG, so... dies eh? Okay, well if I have to accept that to read the fic then so be it I guess. :) But it is a bummer.

Well, first, I wouldn't have even noticed the age thing with H & N had it not been mentioned - so, it works for me. LOLAs for the fic, I'm a fan of MLCs so I'm excited to read your version. :)

Good chapter - I do believe Ron has made a serious mistake and is in grave danger. I also go the sense that Severus feels something for Hermione even though he is not saying anything. More than just worry for her circumstance but only more chapters will tell.

Well, Ron may be acting somewhat mature at this point, but I am sure he will be a complete idiot sooner or later. It is just his personality. He and Hermione cannot be happy together. I am looking forward to seeing how Hermione will get out of marrying Ron.

hmm interesting chapter...... am glad that ron finally petitioned for her and she accepted despite the dangers, even though its gonna end up being hermione and snape......... but the summary of the chapter does not match the contents.... is the summary a sneak peek at the next chapter???
