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.

I can't wait to see what revenge plans they hatch. I'm looking forward to more!(BTW, one paragraph starts with 'Seveus' instead of 'Severus)

Very entertaining chapter. I've never thought of Googling revenge ideas.
Response from pookah (Author of Matchmaker)
Thanks for reviewing. I'm glad you enjoyed it! I hadn't thought of googling for revenge ideas either, but a kind person (hidden before voting) gave me the idea.

Interesting developments. I like how you're showing off some minor characters in this chapter!
Response from pookah (Author of Matchmaker)
Thank you for reviewing! I'm glad you like the minor characters. It's fun to set them into a story and see what happens alongside the characters we feel we know and love.

what a terrific take on this idea! love the relationship between severus and neville. great stuff! thanks so much and i look forward to the next installment
Response from pookah (Author of Matchmaker)
Thank you for reviewing this. I'm delighted that you like the friendship between Severus and Neville. I could not deny the delightfully incongruous idea of them as 'running buddies,' (no matter how much Severus may object in public.) The next chatper is in Queue.

Oh my the fun begins. I can't wait to see what the girls come up with. I'm not sure they should trust Justin quite yet, it just seemed to smooth that he would tell Hermione everything first thing just yet. The chapter was very amusing, loved Severus he is so funny without even realizing that he is. looking forward to the next chapter.
Response from pookah (Author of Matchmaker)
Thank you for such a flattering review! The next chapter is in queue, and I hope you will find it amusing. You will see more of Justin.

I'm glad Justin went to admit everything to the girls. Looks like something fun's coming up!

OMG I am so glad you posted this. It is amazing. I don't know if I want to laugh, cry or cheer. I love it and look forward to reading more of this brilliant story. Really. Well done.
Response from pookah (Author of Matchmaker)
Wow, Thanks! I am delighted you like it so! *blushes* My Betas deserve much of the credit. I hope you enjoy the rest of the story. Chapter Two is in Beta now, after one rewrite (which vastly improved the tale.) Thanks again for such a complimentary review!

Oh my, what an interesting plot, I loooooved it! Very well written too, I can easily see my self falling for this story! I guess I can't be angry at Harry and Ron for what happened, actually I am quite trilled:-) Not that I mind the Harry/Ginny pairing, but I loved your Neville so I am voting for him:-) I absolutely hate the idea of Hermione and Ron, so I think Hermione should send the two miscalculating Death Eathers a thank you note for getting rid of him. I am of course voting for Severus here, I hope he will find that he wants to sweep Hermione off here feet:-) (I find a Severus with a bit of self esteem and courrage to think that he actually deserves something good so much sexier than the "woe-me-who-is-so-ugly-and-cruel-that-nobody-would-ever-love-me" character) I look forward to read more!!!

What a long, lovely review! I am thrilled you like it. Thank you for taking the time to tell me what you like and dislike! I dislike Ron/Hermione, too. Love your idea of sending McNair and R. Lestrange a note of thanks. Very funny.
One of my excellent Betas expressed a liking for Neville, too. You'll see more of him in the next chapters, (as I am certain you already figured out.) Thank you so much for your kind review. I hope the story continues to please.

Riiiiight. Severus wants Neville to live happily ever after. I can't believe Neville bought that. Curious, and eager for more....
Response from pookah (Author of Matchmaker)
So... What is Snape really up to? Thank you for reviewing! Chapter two is in Beta now. I am happy that you are curious. I hope the rest of the story pleases you.
