The Trials of Matchmaking

After the war Molly Weasley decides that Severe Matchmaking Tactics have to be employed so everyone will be paired up happily. What does that mean for Hermione and the two men interested in her? Of course, this is Molly Weasely's version of 'happy' we're talking about. Warning: wacky pairings, misunderstandings, machinations and general silliness ahead. Not DH compliant of course. A gift to evie_eros in the Summer Round of the SSHG exchange 2007. Nominated for Best Mulitple Partner Story at the Quill to Parchment awards! Nominated at the OWL awards 2008!

I am an almost 30 year old single mom of five year old precocious Mini-Shal and our cat called 'Katze' (cat in English, lol). In between full-time jobs at a temping agency, babysitters getting Izzy to and from Kindergarten and lots family and financial problems and housework of course, I am once again working on fanfics after a long hiatus to keep sane.
Though I have been writing fanfiction for various fandoms for the past fourteen years none of them made it on the Net because of a series of misfortunes involving six more or less functioning computers.
I haven't been a Harry Potter fan either until March 2006 when after watching Goblet of Fire I was so confused I just had to read the books. My best friend HoneyB was very mean throughout and didn't want to tell me any spoilers thus getting her revenge when I didn't want to listen to her enthusing about Harry Potter all those years. ;)
The HG/SS pairing struck me as very sick at first because as hot as Alan Rickman is, he is over sixty years old! But resistance was futile and I was won over by one of the silliest and most funny parodies I have read so far which was incidently my first HP fanfic and is sadly enough only available in German. Though for anyone fluent in that language I can heartily recommend to Google Coldmirror and her parody of the first movie 'HP und ein Stein'.
So since then I have been happily writing away whenever I have the time and get seriously annoyed when yet another plot bunny bites me in the leg and doesn't want to fit into my current story! %)

Oh dear, poor Hermes.
"Oi! Spank me, Nevie-kins!" I'm dying here... Loving this story so far, and can't wait to see what happens next!
I like your story, scheeming, romance, tempers, odd couples and houmor is a brilliant combination. I think you should let Lucius, Narcissa, Bill and Fleur come to a very agreeable understanding, of course with Bill and Fleur scheeming and enjoying just as much as our recident Malfoys:-)) For Ron, he wouldn't be in love with Harry, would he? If he is gay at all that is, it isn't the first time Molly would have had the completely wrong idea:-)) Hermione should have both Remus and Severus. She is my absolute favourite character together with the two mentioned "gentlemen", and a threesome with the three of them would be so brilliant, I would be your devoted admirer for a long time:-)) Update again soon!
Hmmm interesting developments. I wonder if the Malfoy's are up to something more than cheating on their spouses.
I've never read anything from the point of view of an owl, but I find it kind of funny...Looking forward to reading more!
Wow, that was an odd artist to choose for the title of the chapter, given the theme of the work. I love wicked Malfoys and the added incentive of the fun they offer. I do hope Ron doesn't have a crush on Remus. That's a little disgusting. I also liked the relationship you described between Remus and Snape. It felt real and totally male.
I can just picture Severus doing just as he did. Silencing spells indeed. *giggles
I think this was a fairly humerous chapter. I chuckeled over most of it!
It's so funny. I regret so much having waited so long to read it.
This is very unusual to have a story told from an owl's point of view. I particularly adore "Cranky Scarecrow".
I love that the aurors would have been hard pressed to take more time answering the calls to prevent the DEs from killing each other. Very amusingly put.Oh this is a delightful tale! I'll be waiting for more.
Wonderful! I love seeing this through the Owl's eyes, and his cute names for everyone. Thanks for such a jolly beginning. I'm off to the next chapter, now!
This is really funny. I'm enjoying it quite a bit.
brilliant molly the matchmaker is at it again and Severus wants Hermione and the bit about Voldermort too funny lol hotdog seller
first off owl pov great ideal. and the way the animal thinks to funny but i can see it. and the way the humans react ... lol. i can't wait to see where you take this. well written
Oh, my. That was just lovely and hilarious. Poor Hermes!
Oh, very funny. I love Voldemort's new name and the fact that Snape et al. are left nearly squibs. I can't wait for more.
oh i can't wait to read more!
Oh, poor Hermes! I really shouldn't laugh at him but I've had days like his and truly, I only commiserating. Very funny and clever. I loved the owl's nicknames for the wizards and witches. Are you going ot post more any time soon?
Oh, dear! Poor Hermes had a very rough day. LOL!
A lovely start with a unique point of view. I look forward to more.
I love seeing things from the owl's POV too cute!
Hmm, intriguing. I can't wait to reaad the rest.
I like the perspective on this one!
What a wonderful beginning. I giggled (at poor Hermes' expense - so sorry buddy) all the way through. Love his terms for everybody. Can't wait for more!!
