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
Absolutely loved the chat with Harry! What a hoot!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Thanks, bea. :)
Oh, this is priceless! I love the vision of Severus as sex teacher to an uncomfortable Harry...and the slow, completely believable development of an understanding that grows between them as a result.And I am very glad that Severus got a just reward for his efforts. He truly deserves it!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
*waves* Thanks, dear! :)
Those weren't by any chance real books were they, since you've told us where the good parts start and all,,, That was delightful as always.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Sorry, pulled the numbers out of my head! :)
Interesting! I wonder just how often Molly and Arthur were caught - or nearly caught. I never did understand why she pretended such morals for her children when she was so intent on shaggingsnagging her man while at school. Anyway, I loved how you took their conversation in handpen and brought them closer to civility. Nice work. Truffles - Sara
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Thanks, Sara. :)
The Talk. It was everything I had hoped for and more! I nearly died laughing when I read:Molly Prewett and Arthur Weasley have the distinction of still holding the record for the number of inventive places and positions they were discovered shagging in while at Hogwarts. Molly Weasley has absolutely no moral high ground here.That was brilliant! And then when Severus handed Harry the romance novels with specific page numbers to check, I thought I would hyperventilate... This is still the Best Story Ever. I've been remiss and not reviewed for a while, but I have continued to love every single chapter as they appear. Keep up the great work!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Thank you for the lovely review. I'm thrilled you are enjoying the story so much. :)
I many time laughed my ass of while reading. The story is just hilarious. XD And habbutt like bathtub?
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Thanks, hope your ass reattached itself ok. Yes, bathtub. :D
Silly them! They finally fessed up to each other! Yay. Love the banter between Severus and Ginny. Sister indeed!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Thanks, deb! :)
i can't wait!!! sev talking to harry about sex!! this was a most delightful chapter. thanks and mucho smoochies
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
LOL. Thanks! :)
Harry and Severus talking about sex?! I look forward to the next chapters! Thank you for writing!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Thanks! :)
I loved Hermione's 'emotional outburst'; it seems she finally has the air cleared with Severus.Ginny's attachment to Harry is nice, but I'm not sure if she's ready for a sexual relationship. She seems to be a bit immature in her outlook of sex.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
She's very curious. Harry is certainly not ready LOL. :)
So glad Severus and Hermione have finally figured out they love each other, the ring was a nice touch and sounds beautiful.I like the friendship between Severus and Ginny, though I thought it was a bit to cozy, it was almost flirty in this chapter.Still my favorite fic. I'm always delighted when it gets updated.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Ginny is just taking the little sister role and teasing him as she would Bill or Charlie. Thanks for the review! :)
Hmmm.. I didn't like how Ginny and Severus were together, rather flirty.. I must say if I was Hermione I wouldn't be happy. But lets see if Harry listens to our sex god.. ooppss I mean Hermione's.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
They weren't supposed to come across as flirty, just as Ginny being comfortable enough with him to tease him about Hermione like a little sister would. Thanks for your review! :)
That was an adorable chapter. But one small question. If Ginny is so squeamish about intimacy what makes her think she's ready for it?
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
She's not squeamish, just very curious. Thanks for the review. :)
That was fun. I wonder who will be redder during the talk, Snape or Harry?
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Can't pick it, myself. :)
Yay, they finally stopped being relationship morons! I still really like Severus' relationship with Ginny. Sometimes I think maybe when he is this laid back, he could be a little OOC. But then I guess that we really have nothing to base that on. I for one, would like to think this is how he behaves in intimate company behind closed doors. Now him agreeing to have a sex talk with Harry... these girls really do have him under their spell. Keep up the great work!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
No-one really knows what a post-war, unstressed Snape would be like, so I took a few liberties! :)
Too funny. I like this side of Severus. It may be OOC but in a very good way.Thanks for the update!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Thanks for the review! :)
This is a Severus we never get to see, but who just might emerge under the right circumstances (and with the right teasing from the right sources!). I can't wait to see how he handles The Talk with Harry!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
But only in select company! :)
I love this story. Looking forward to more chapters.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Thank you.:)
Nicely done handling the revelations and the ring sounds fantastic!I can see why Ginny when to Severus seeing as Ron telling Harry to get it over with had no result at all... Can't wait to see how the "chat" goes!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Thank you! :)
Very OOC but I liked it. Can't wait for the next chapter.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Thanks! :)
Thatt was wonderful! And to think, Severus now has a sister. I've always believed that family is more than blood or biology. It's about time that Severus was the recipient of such a love. First he got his forever love and now he has familial love. This is one of the most wonderful stories I have read in a long time. I was most gratified when I saw that the "Completed" box wasn't checked yet; i'm looking forward to more!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
And more you shall have! :)

*sniffle.... *pout... *Sara hangs head and tries to loop pitiful. "When?"
I thought for sure Ginny was going to speak to Ron. Too funny!!!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Nope. She went to a higher authority! :)
She wanted him to say it so why did she run away? I am so worried!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
She was overcome by the revelation. :)
I have to thinkn that Ginny is the only one who can get away with calling Severus a lummox. Cheeky witch that she is.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
True! She is. :)
