fifty-something happy wife and college mom.
Matchmaker is on a bit of a hiatus. We've had two deaths amongst our closest freinds, my beta is ill, and my mom is in bad health. So it may take me a while to get back to that cheery place where I can write such nonsense. I will finish it though, unless I die, too.

So, Ginny and Hermione are going to be old maids together, huh? Yeah ... right! Hang in there, Neville – Hermione and Severus will turn Ginny around and make her see what's right in front of her ... and I'm sure they'll be tripping over each other in the process. Looking forward to more of this!

How nice of you to review each chapter! Thanks. Yes Severus and Hermione will be seeing a good bit of each other in attempting to promote their friends' romance.

Lots of confessin' going on in this chapter. I wonder who's sincere and who's just trying to score brownie points?Fun story so far.

Well ... well ... well ... Severus and Neville are not only colleagues, but pretty good friends, as well, it seems. I like that wrinkle. I love the idea of Draco stuck with a Chastity Spell – the wanker deserves a lot worse! I like how you explained away Harry and Ron, and I like that Snape is going to help Neville woo Ginny. And I'm certainly looking forward to the time when Snape realises that 'Miss Granger' would be perfect for him!

Thank you for telling me what you like! I'm thrilled you like my story. I have to say the chastitiy spell came from my splended plot fixer, -----, (to be revealed later) I've had such a nice reaction to the Neville/Severus friendship. Thank you for reading and reviewing.

Ah, you had to go and stop there. This story is so much fun! The pranks are truly great. I can't wait to see the responses our dear Draco get. Lol.

Uh oh, Draco's not going to be happy... unless of course it's what he's secretly wished anyway. ;-)
Response from pookah (Author of Matchmaker)
Uh, we will find out who's happy. But first, there are plans to be carried out.Thanks for reading and reviewing. More is coming!

ROTFL! Gay Britain! Oh, Draco's gonna love this...
Response from pookah (Author of Matchmaker)
Wow , thanks for the pretty stars! Thanks for being such a loyal reader. I'm glad you are enjoying this. Someone's going to love it, but I am not certain that it is Draco.

This is an incredible chapter. I love all the scheming going on. I think the part about all Professor Snape did to protect the students is very touching.
Response from pookah (Author of Matchmaker)
Thank you for such a kind review! I am so pleased that you like the part about Professor Snape. I hoped it would show a different (but canon compliant) side of him than we saw in the books. More revenge is coming.

Another excellent update. I can't wait to see what Malfoy is going to get. Ha ha. The cameradarie between these four is quite nice. I'm excited to see how you develop it.

Thank you for reading and reviewing. The next chapter is winging its way to Southern Witch, after some technical dificulties on my part. I hope you will enjoy it!

Brilliant update! I am falling hard for this story, it is very entertaining and well written. I do of course immensly enjoy that Severus let the thought of a relationship with Hermione pass through his mind:-)A great revenge would be two women who obviously don't miss them at all.... I mean if Hermione and Ginny starts dating, or get seriously involved with someone, it would most likely hurt the male egos of Harry and Ron quite a bit, adding the fact that they can not say anything against it. Even if they love their wives (and I guess I hope they do), the fact that Hermione and Ginny easily gets on with their life will smart them quite a bit? And, though Harry wont have anything against Neville, no man will upset Ron more to see paired with Hermione.... Update again soon, I long to read more:-))

I am delighted to please you, a discriminating reader who writes long, thoughtful reviews. (Not that I don't love short reviews, too! Love 'em all!)Living well is the best revenge. I had to use magic to solve the problem of the prompt, because I couldn't simply have H & R jilt the lassies without some pressing reason. So I hope they are happy. And I hope they stay happy, although there are still some twists to come. Updating soon as possible! Computer problems.Thanks for the kind review!

I love the idea of them Googling revenge ideas. And my spell check liked googling.
Response from pookah (Author of Matchmaker)
Thank you for your kind review. A fellow-writer (to be named later) gave me the google idea. Clever her!

I had to laugh a bit and I'm glad they tempered revenge with what and who is at fault.
