Reviews for Improbable Felicity
First of all, thank you for the very quick updates. It's been so nice to come home from work and see an update in one of my favourite stories at the moment. I'm too lazy when it comes to commenting but I've liked all your stories and this is no expection. Can't wait to read more installments, especially how things develope between the two after they've consumed the marriage.
I barely have the time to finish chapter 5 and you granted us with chapter 6. not that I complained of course. It's quite pleasant to have so quick update. Thank you for this and for another brilliant story of yours.
Haha, Severus sent his mother a Howler!!! That was really funny! And with the way he treated Snowe just shows his not often visible tender side.
They seem to proceed quite well for now. it will be very interesting to see how it will go when they're both together in the house. :)

Go Severus! lol.
I love the whole mother-in-law thing. A howler - BRILLIANT! I look forward to your updates and I've always loved your work. Glad to see you back.
I really loved this chapter. I was quite delighted by Harry's gift to Hermione--a cell phone just seems so muggle, but at the same time appropriate as a gift as it was from Harry to Hermione. I enjoyed the touch of Eileen's portrait. It wasn't something that I was expecting, but I really think that it adds quite a lot. Like Hermione, I am glad to see that Severus took her side. Can't wait for the next installment!

Now we just gotta wait a couple more days, and then the REAL action takes place!
Severus seems uncharacteristically tender with Hermione in this chapter. Perhaps he has some hidden sentiments towards her. I wouldn't be foolish enough to say love, at least, not yet. But he obviously wants her happy.
Looks like Hermione brought redheaded bait to keep Harry from making too big a fuss about her getting married. She's not a strategizer (hence the initial failure with Snape), but her tactics are impeccable.
*sighs* This is so very good! What a wedding day! And good to see Harry and Ginny getting the right ideas. Equally good to see that Severus isn't being the total git. Wonderful story!
If you ask me, Snape would do better by going to Siberia. At least then he would be free after 18 years. By marrying Hermione, he is shackling himself for life to a neurotic pleaser (because no emotionally healthy child would ever work her mediocre brain so hard to get such high grades just so the adults around her would notice her and approve of her) and her 'best friend' who hates his guts, tried his utmost (and succeeded) to get him into jail and who now, when Snape is 'on probation', can torment and insult him all he likes. Really, what is to stop Harry (who even as an adult still lets a schoolboy grudge against his 'mean teacher', a teacher who saved his life numerous times, rule him), what is to stop him tormenting Snape? Snape can't retalliate, because his wand gets checked every week and if he dared to hex the Boy who lived, they'd trow him back in jail his head would spin.And seriously, what *is* Hermione thinking? Well, she's Hermione, I suppose, you've got her character spot on. Just as with SPEW, she still hasn't learned that real people do not conform to her rosy-coloured ideas. She is 'hurt by his personal indifference to her and stung by his total lack of regard for her feelings in the matter'. What the hell does she think? Snape has the choice between 18 years in Siberia or lifelong marriage to one of his most irritating ex-students, and she expects him to be *concerned for her feelings*?!!I'd like to see her in the reverse situation, the stupid immature little chit.I really like this fic. You've got all the characters perfectly in character, and I hope this fic won't turn out to be just another 'after a few days Snape realizes what a brilliant, wonderful person Hermione is, he falls madly in love and they all live happilly ever after' fic. Please! If this fic does have a happy end, please, please, please let Hermione do some growing up and aquire some empathy. This marriage was *her* idea. One shudders to think what she'd do to Snape when his idea of a marriage of convinience does not match hers.Perhaps she'd curse him with purple pustules which spell 'bastard' all over his face?Nope, if I were him, I'd choose Siberia!
Oh what a wonderful story. I really loved the "Enchantment" stories...(I really love all your stories). Have you ever thought about doing anymore? You ROCK Subversa
I didn't understand the end of that chapter. Probably not too hard to confuse me though.
Looking forward to the next update.
That has to be about the weirdest wedding ceremony ever! I really liked your choices in this chapter. I can't wait to see what will happen when Hermione and Severus are actually forced to act as husband and wife. Should be pretty darn interesting. Great chapter, as always.
Loved the detail of Snape "taking points" -- I hope I'm not being overly optimistic in reading into this that he will come to genuinely care for her.I'm enjoying this yarn a great deal; you're very talented.
I can't wait for more. *Sigh* I guess i must.I'll keep an eye out for this story of course.
Fifty points FROM Gryffindor?? Why for? O_oPoor Hermione, she really doesn't know what she's in for... But, the deed is done and she will have to buckle down and work hard to make it through. Nice chapter.
I love this story so much! Can't wait for the next update!!
I like this caring and compassionate Hary.
Really good chapter! I liked the dream section, that was a great idea!
The dinamics between the characters are fantastic. Well writen and I love the plot! Hope to read more soon!
i really like this so far. update soon please
Love the story so far and I eagerly await the next installment. Thank you for writing
I really like your determined Hermione and your stubbon Severus. I think that both are depicted extremely well in character. I really enjoyed this latest installment. Great job!
