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
Hey There! Omg I am loving this story of yours! I love how Hermione is actually the cause of the marriage law! Its all her fault, hahaha. Great stuff! I can't wait to see what happens next! Much Love ~ Brena
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
LOL. She should have known NEVER to trust the Ministry!
It's got to be creepy when Bulstrode and Trelawney are the GOOD choices! Glad to see Hermione takes the opportunity to help out a comrade-in-arms in need. It is, as many have noted, a delightful change from the "woe-is-me" Hermiones of many a marriage law fic.

Thanks,
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
. Yep, this Hermione is a take charge kinda gal!
Interesting theories, it's interesting that you gave Severus the potential to be good in bed and yet have him be a probable virgin.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Well, he is a bit of a know-it-all as well, so he may come through!
OMG, it's Virgin!Snape! This just get funnier and funnier. Now Hermione is in the position (pun intended) of the more experienced partner...I definately didn't expect Hermione to just come right out and offer for him without any preliminary plot twists. But with the offers he received it's no wonder he's been more cranky than usual.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
You just have to feel sorry for the poor guy! She was a bit impulsive, wasn't she? But she was feeling bad about the whole law coming into being anyway, so his offers were the final straw in the guilt load!
Another great chapter!! I'd love to see the boys' faces!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Hehe. They may actually have some sympathy for him, as they may be stuck in the same boat in a few years!
I love a good MLC! This one is really looking good! I am enjoying Hermione's relationship with Ginny - she has to have someone in her corner. Great job -I look forward to an update.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
You will see a lot of Hermione and Ginny in this. Thanks for reviewing!
Wow! I can't believe she's just going to give up on love because she feels sorry for him. But I can't wait for them to actually fall in love. And Snape a virgin! Poor chap. It'll be interesting the first time wont it? Love the story, write more soon!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
She sees it as a temporary solution, as she is sure the Ministry will repeal the law eventually and then they can divorce if they wish.
I don't think I reviewed this chapter. I find it ironic that poor Hermione gets stuck with the fault of the Ministry's overreaction. Poor girl.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Isn't that always the Minisitry way? LOL
Great again! Just two little things. You are driving your readers nuts, please try and post more often. We need a fix really badly when a story is that good.Also, you wrote that it is chapter 3 in the main page when you correctly wrote chapter 2 at the story itself. Keep on posting!!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
As this is a challenge, I don't actually do the posting of each chapter, so I can only write the chapter name in the story itself. I am trying to post once a week, depending on beta and admin time. Thanks for reviewing! I promise to keep them coming regularly!
Go Hermione, good for her. Nothing like bearding the dragon in his den to get results. Trelawney, Umbridge and Millicent, eeww, surely he'll see the merits of chosing our girl Hermione. LOL, wonderful chapter, I am so loving this story.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Thanks!
I was already quite hooked by the wanderful twist about Snape being the one to need a wife, but now I'm completely addicted. I'm sure Hermione will be a great teacher to him. *grin*Anyway I can't wait to read next chapter, and I hope you'll be able to continue your quick updating.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
LOL. I will try and update about once a week. The next chapter will be sent to SW today!
Ohoho :) Ingenious, this :) I love this story more and more :) and that's only the 3rd part :D I think I'l go nuts if you don't update often enough Your Hermione is great. I love how - exactly as most really brilliant and practical people (in the real world) - she seems to have different "thinking patterns" than others (everyone who knows a really brilliant person knows what I'm talking about :) ) I'm so looking foreward to more of your Snape
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Yes, Hermione definitely thinks differently to everyone else! Updates will be regular. Thnaks for reviewing!
That was excellent! Keep writing, please! *****
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
It's pretty much all written, just has to go through the beta and admin processes. Thanks for reviewing. :)
ANd Hermione steps in to save Severus from... I expected him to snap backat her, retort say something cutting. Not run for the door!I loved the dialogue between Ginny and Hermione.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
I think he's a bit scared of her newfound confidence!
What a way to petition! LOL. Much better than going through proper channels with all that thought that would precede it.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Nothing like doing things on impulse!
totally loved this chapter...wow didn't think SHE was the ONE to petion for him, usually its the other way. ............can't wait for more.where or how is the voting taking place. I was just wondering and do you need more votes.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
LOL. Voting isn't for ages yet, once the challenge closes in September there will be a call for votes. Thanks for the support!
I can't believe I'm saying this, but poor Snape. Do you think he realizes how much girls talk?
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
He will figure it out sooner or later. I always think it is odd that most fics have Hermione buttoning up and not telling anything, but she IS a nineteen year old. They share everything with their best friend! :)
Just love the girl talk between Hermione and Ginny. Great story.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Ginny and Hermione's relationship is going to feature quite a lot. Poor Hermione needs someone to talk to! :)
Ooh, now that's an original take! Definitely good stuff here; I'm really enjoying your plot-twists. Thank you for posting, Cat
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Thanks for reviewing, Cat!
oooooooohhh, more twists--I like, I like :)
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Hehe. I have a twisty mind...
very nice. i like that it blew up in her face this time. a marriage fic where she isn't allowed to play victim. haha
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Yes. Time she got out of victim mode! Thanks for reviewing.
Well Hermione has done it this time....too smart for her own good! Anyway I love the way this marriage law came into effect....through a research project. Well let's see I wonder who Hermione will end up marrying? Hmmmmmm........Excellent job!!!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
The Know-It-All strikes again! :)
ohohoooo. Now this is GOOD.The story seems to be getting even better than I expected :) Very original take on MLC. I'm very, very much looking for the next chapter. (and the next one, and the next one,...) This will be a very good cup of tea indeed And if you tell me, there will not be any smoking Snape ( that) (or Hermione for that matter) in this story, I'm going to dance in joy
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Definitely no smoking anywhere! Thanks for the review.
Oh, interesting start. I like how you arraanged the 'eightth-years' and having Snape as their Head of House is Hilarious. Ron suggesting that he was going to study? I'll believe that when I see it.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Don't hold your breath! Thanks for reviewing.
I like this one, can't wait for more...
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
On its way. Thank you for reviewing.
