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. ;)
Reviews for Marriage by Numbers
Cute. Hermione's grading Severus was original and funny. I enjoyed the chapter.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Thanks!
I love your story, except who was Jason supposed to be? Some Muggle stranger Hermione met in summer? That wouldn't be credible from her. At least we know she felt something for Viktor sometime, and she kept writing him long letters. I enjoyed her dialogue with Ginny. I guess that's very much how girls talk goes, doesn't it?
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Jason was a Muggle boy she met over summer while she was staying with her parents. Imagine, she's just got rid of a huge source of stress, the thing with Ron didn't pan out, and then she meets a handsome, easygoing stranger who offers her a bit of fun, no strings attached. You're right, probably not her usual behaviour, but the whole fic is designed to be a little tongue-in cheek. And yes, in my experience, teenage girls confide everything to their close girlfriends.Thanks for reviewing, Crystal. I appreciate your comments!
Hey there! OMG this chapter was awesome! I loved the part where Hermione and Severus were fighting in the classroom! I could totally feel the tension between them, it was awesome. And I can also understand why Hermione said I don't know if I want to slap him or kiss him! Hahaha. Very great addition to this wonderful fic! Thanks for the update! Much Love ~ Brena

Thanks, Brena!
You've written such an enjoyable story, I love it. I love Hermione's baiting of Severus, it's keeping him off guard. Thanks for the lovely, long chapter, I enjoyed it.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Thanks!
I definitely wouldn't be showing that homework to my best friend, no matter how close! I only hope Ginny can keep her mouth shut - poor Severus deserves that at least! Under the circumstances, and particularly after the classroom incident, I think he's behaving very well & showing a little known tolerant side!If I were Hermione I wouldn't push it any more - best to keep on his good side I reckon; could pay dividends in the end! This continues to be a very amusing fic! :-)
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Ginny and Hermione are confidantes. Like teenage girls everywhere, they share everything, right down to the nitty-gritty. However, Ginny won't spill, Hermione knows some of her secrets too! Thanks for reviewing.
I was really, really amused by this chapter and I'm rather sure that was what you were aiming for.I just can't recognize Hermione. She really is pushing any border around, isn't she?
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
She is. I must admit, the whole fic is written somewhat tongue-in-cheek for a reason.
An E... serves him right :DAnd oh boy, how I look forward to the wedding night and Snape's first time - I'm just so curious how you will write that :D Looking forward to next chapter ;)
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
LOL. Nothing like payback!
loved the fireworks - can't wait for more!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Coming soon!
really fun! thanks so much for taking the time to write and post!!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Thanks, mom!
But I wanted that detention to take place.She could have turned the tables on him and insisted he practice his foreplay techniques.Great tension going on there!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Thanks!
I started reading this less than an hour ago. I can't wait for an update. It was funny in all the right places.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Thank you!
I'm afraid we part ways here. I was somewhat ready to suspend disbelief at the whole - Hermione the school girl discovers something that apparently a whole bunch of intelligent educators have managed to miss - only then - Hermione with the maturity of a 10 year old and thought processes of a 10 year old despite apparently incredible intelligence - and - Hermione, alive after being the cause for this kind of abolishment of freedom for her school mates; Snape the virgin and then, on top of that, Snape and Hermione marriage where he is forced and she is essentially all of the above ... I see no way this could end well and be believable so that's it for me.Good luck with the rest of the story.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Thank you for your honest review, Ashen. I hope you find something that you enjoy more.
You know I nearly spit my coffee on the screen once again. Please for next time, could you add such a warning so I save myself the trouble of cleaning the mess?
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Snitchette, I'm warning you now. No more eating or drinking when you are reading this!
This is great fun!!! More, please?
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
More to come soon. Stay tuned!
Thank you so much for the update! Again: I really love this story:-))
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Thank you!
I'm really enjoying this. You've made this tale your own with amusing twists, and although they both want to make the marrage work, it is not unrealistically moonbeams and roses. Delightful chapter
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Thanks,

I just found this! It is so amusing and touching. I'm really enjoying it.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Thanks, blue!
Hermione is sharing ALOT of information with Ginny. I hope for her sake Severus doesn't ever find out how much. Sharing his homework with her would have mortified him!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
You may be surprised at his reaction. Thanks for reviewing!
I can't wait until the wedding.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
LOL. Thanks for reviewing!
What a chapter! I think Hermione is about to go off the deep end. I couldn't believe she actually showed Ginny his essay. Severus is being really wonderful under the circumstances.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Poor Severus is really stuck between a rock and a hard place. Hermione is pulling his strings but with good intentions at heart. He knows he is better off with her than the alternative and is starting to realise there may be some hidden benefits!
omg!! This is just fantastic... and I think they're a little in love already!Please update as soon as you can!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Thank you,

. They are!
You know what worries me about this whole thing? Boy babies are going to be even more prized as "the desired sex," and female babies and children are likely to suffer for it. And how will they make sure that they haven't overcompensated and will be having enough female children as well?It all seems like neither Hermione nor the Ministry really thought it through.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Hermione just reported her findings with a suggestion on how to redress the balance. The Ministry panicked and overreacted, as they do. However, I think that there would still be older wizards that will continue to reproduce regardless, thus ensuring the swing did not got the other way. And the younger wizards are only more likely to produce boys; they still have some girls. Now, if the Wizarding world had a way to control gender, that would be a whole new ethical problem!Thanks for your thoughts!
LOLI really enjoyed this chapter. Hermione is bossy and thinks she knows everything, Snape is surly and in need of a helping hand ... I'm looking forward to what is going to happen.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
And he hates being in that position. Thanks for your review!
love the story. hermione is coming off as a bit of a conceited know-it-all, but it works in the story. i can't wait for her reality check (hopefully from a snarky snape;)
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Yep. She thinks she knows what is best for Snape. And, after one brief affair, she thinks she knows everything about sex. Snape is on the back foot at the moment, but he will have his moment!
Okay, I just have to say thank you. Seriously I love the dialouge here between Hermione and Ginny. It was great seeing Hermione get to act like an 18year old for a change. Sometimes its just refreshing to get to see her talk like this. Very Squee-Girly stuff. Its a nice change of pace thank you so much. I totally love everything else you are setting up in this tale and can't wait to read more! Much Love ~ Brena
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Ginny and Hermione's relationship is as important part of this story as the relationship with Snape. Thanks, Brena!
