Hermione's week is going from bad to worse when she's forced to make a choice. My take (and slight parody) of the Marriage Law Challenge.

Right. I would like to state, for the record, that I WILL finish "She Married Her Choice". I will. Assuming I am in control of my own destiny and accomplishments, that is. ;-)
Unfortunately, real life (mainly an attention craving three-year-old) and inspiration have been keeping me from creative endeavors for a while now. I do foresee a time when that shall pass, but until then, I ask for your patience.
Thank you!

sneaks in to leave first review.
muhahahaha
Great closure on a wonderful tale. I can't wait to see what you do next.
So... Did Snape die of old age?
Response from averygoodun (Author of Marry a Choice)
Thanks! Yeppers, Snape died quite old. Lets see, he's thirty-eightish by the time MaC starts, and 105 years later Hermione is mourning his death of, say, a year or so... that'd make him 140ish? That's pretty old, even for a wizard. southern_witch_69's response: I saw a response you left for GinnyW. I thought it was Minerva, too. LOL... I wondered if they had kids. I was thinking that McGonagall was way up there in age! lol... Just can't stop saying how good it was... the growling I wanted to do at times, and then the rewards for it! :) excellent
Response from averygoodun (Author of Marry a Choice)
I've changed it a tiny bit so that maybe it's a little clearer. (lol) I am so pleased you liked it! It tickles me pink! Thanks, doll!
thank you thank you thank you, i was so happy and moved by your story thati laughed so hard i was screaming and rolling on the floor.
this was pure brilliance thank you
Response from averygoodun (Author of Marry a Choice)
You're welcome! Thank you. It gives me a very happy feeling to know I made anyone laugh. So thanks for the warm fuzzy!
yay! This was great!! Thank you Avery! I loved this chapter, and you totally had me concerned till the last bit. I can't wait for the epilogue, and I hope you write that sequel.
Response from averygoodun (Author of Marry a Choice)
(phew) I'm so glad you liked it. Yay! I'm fine tuning the epilogue, but the sequel will be slow in coming, since I refuse to post it as a WIP. Thank you so much for your reviews! They've made me smile huge!
Oh, I loved the story! It was brilliant! Well done, avery! I really am anxious for the epilogue and sequel. SQUEEEE! She married Snape... YAY!!!!!!!
Response from averygoodun (Author of Marry a Choice)
Thank you! (You actually squeeed? That's so sweet of you!) I'll try to get both epi and sequel done pronto. Thanks for your reviews!
*giggle* I loved the way you brought him to the altar...I can't wait to read the epilogue...and the sequel....A most excellent story..keep up the wonderful work!!!
Response from averygoodun (Author of Marry a Choice)
Yay! Thanks! The epilogue isn't quite so farcical. I'll try to get them done soon! Thank you very much!
I loved the spin on "If anyone here knows..." And what a wonderfully Slytherin proposal. I thoroughly enjoyed this, even if Hermione seemed a bit prone to giggling like Lavender and Parvati.
Response from averygoodun (Author of Marry a Choice)
I just couldn't have Snape declare his love for Hermione without being underhanded and insulting. Wouldn't fit his character, now would it? I think that Hermione was on the verge of hysterics. That or she was compensating for all the crying she had been doing throughout the story. 
And besides which, if you were in her place at the alter, and Snape did that, wouldn't you giggle?
Thanks so much for your review!
Response from Bambu (Reviewer)
I'm not sure I'd giggle at the alter or demand to know why he was late... but I grant you that Hermione has every reason to be on the verge of hysterics considering the past two months in her life. I'll look forward to your next chapter.
You had me so scared. I really did start thinking, "OMG, she's not going to do it. She's going to have Hermione marry Remus. BITCH!"
Hahahahahahaahaha! Just kidding, dear.
This was such a great fic. I just loved it. You dealt with all the emotions and situations very well. I anxiously await the epilogue and hope you decide to do a sequel. However, even if you don't this will stand as a stupendous example of an MLC fic.
Kudos to you, and I can't wait for the next fic you write! 
Response from averygoodun (Author of Marry a Choice)
ROFL! Thank you!
Severus is such a drama queen ! That wedding should be remembered a long time in the wizarding world. I wonder how Rita Skeeter would report it...
Response from averygoodun (Author of Marry a Choice)
Indeed. I expect Rita was in the audience... I don't have her notes, though. Talk about a reporter's dream, though! Thanks!
I am smiling right now. I just loved the end when he came for her. I was telling the computer, "WTF? Don't let him get away, girl!" hahaha! Lovely story, my dear! You rock! I admit to being tense through most of the chapters. teehee
Response from averygoodun (Author of Marry a Choice)
Yay! Mission accomplished. I like making people smile! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Thank you so much for your help!
WOW... awesome chapter... wonderful Snape, allowing himself to become so vulnerable... I don't know what to say, except that I can hardly wait for the last chapter; however, I won't be reading it immediately, as I want to reread it all and savour the conclusion properly... in context...
By the way, it would be a sweet touch if Remus was able to finally be with his beloved... of course, that would pave the way for Severus to spend the rest of his life proving his love and adoration for Hermione... hint... hint... hint... But no pressure whatsoever...
Response from averygoodun (Author of Marry a Choice)
Thank you! I hope you enjoy the last chapter when you read it (it's been posted, btw), and find it meets your expectations. As for Remus... Enjoy!
Wow, Snape is willing to change... but will Hermione still go through with marriage to Remus? *sigh* I can't wait to read the last chapter, avery! Please don't wait too long to post it. I truly love this story. Your Snape is wonderfully written. (I'm really loving the way that you've written his journals on your LJ. 
)
Will you post an epilogue after the last chapter or will everyone just die and there will be no need for one? LOL!
Response from averygoodun (Author of Marry a Choice)
I promise to update sooner! I feel terrible for the delay on this one. I'm planning an epitaph, I mean epilogue, but it hasn't reached my satisfaction yet. Thank you so much, and I hope you enjoy the ending!
Response from GinnyW (Reviewer)
I'm planning an epitaph, I mean epilogue...
HA HA HA! Oh, it had better not be a eulogy! LOL! And yes, I'm enjoying the story immensely. I'll be very sad to see it end. Especially since, I don't believe that everyone's going to die and it would be really neat to see how the start of their (whoever the pair is) lives begin to meld together. There is another story in there... could be why you're having trouble with the epilogue. (See how I try to coerce? LOL!) ~Gin
Only ONE more chapter?
~flails~
Um... I hope that means there will be a happy ending?
~gets nervous~
hehe
Great chapter, hon! I love the way you write Snape. Can't wait for the final *sniff* update!
Response from averygoodun (Author of Marry a Choice)
Yes, only one. ~throws lifesaver~ Oops, sorry wrong kind of lifesaver... While I go looking for a floatation device, rest assured that no one will die under my care. Unless it's necessary to the plot. Thanks!
Only one chapter left?!?!?! I honestly don't know what I am going to do! First, how can this all be resolved in one chapter?? *nervously chews fingernails* And secondly, I'm so used to being excited waiting for MAC to be updated that I already feel bereft! *cries* Averygoodun, you are going to have to start a new story!!! I need more of your style of Snape/Hermione goodness!! Right now!! LOL! Oh, wait, there is still Snape's Jounral to be read!! Yet again I am filled with happiness! ;-) This chapter was great! I almost cried at Snape's confession, and felt butterflies when he expressed his willingness to change for her, and gave her that kiss. You are a great writer!!
Response from averygoodun (Author of Marry a Choice)
Yes, one singular chapter. It will all be resolved, in its own fashion, I promise. As for feeling bereaved, I'm sorry I can't help you there except to say that Snape's journal will continue for a long while... after all, it's only up to mid January, whereas all of MAC takes place end of March-mid April sometime (the dates will hopefull reveal themselves as it gets closer in his journal). Thank you so very much for your praise. I hope you enjoy the ending!
I'm chewing mah nails and hoping that she'll shut Remus down. LOL... I'm for Snape all the way. Perhaps she'll realize he is sincere!
Response from averygoodun (Author of Marry a Choice)
hehehe. You'll find out, although the sincerity would be difficult to miss, even for her.
Wow. I want to hate you so bad right now, but this was so well-done that I can't.
Am I allowed to be angry with Hermione? And Remus? And Snape? They're all being dumb. Especially Hermione. How could she want to put herself through that? I still understand her reluctance to marry Snape to a point, but she's still being ridiculous. At least with Snape there is some hope. There's NO future and happiness with Remus.
Ruddy stubborn girl. Ruddy men. lol
Erm... yeah, so I'm still looking forward to the next chapter.
Response from averygoodun (Author of Marry a Choice)
*evil snicker* Why thank you! Yes, you're allowed to be mad with everyone, including me for my tardiness. Hermione is going through a form of teenage rebellion at the moment, methinks. That, and she's... stubborn. Very, very stubborn. Pigheaded, even. I've submitted the next chapter, so not long to wait now.
God woman, seriously. You and your blasted cliff hangers. Expect a reprimand from me on your LIVEJOURNAL!
Response from averygoodun (Author of Marry a Choice)
This is nothing compared to the one coming up, which is mild compared to the one after that, if I split the last chapter into two as I intended (it's bloody long as one). I'll post a teaser soon, will that appease you? No? Well... Um...
I'm very disappointed in you.
~Lotm
Response from averygoodun (Author of Marry a Choice)
I warned you in advance that you wouldn't like it! And yet you plowed on ahead... On your own head be it!
How about a little torture??? Spanked with wet spaghetti noodles... ooh the torture of it.. lol
ok is snape going to take polyjuice and pretend he is remus? Then she will be married to Snape and not Lupin.that would be a neat change..
ok i will try and wait patiently for more... oh one more thing great chapter.
p
Response from averygoodun (Author of Marry a Choice)
Hmm, polyjuice hasn't come into play yet... Although, I wonder how the legality of that would work. "Hey, you married a person impersonating your groom, so technically you married Lupin, but the person you actually married was Snape. Time for an annulment!" Yeah. Maybe not. Thanks!
I have been reading this story over on Ashwinder and kicking myself for starting another WIP (only because I get so caught up in the story - when they are great, like this one - that I can't stand waiting... sometimes for many months, if ever to get to the end).
I went to your Live Journal and was to excited to see that the next chapter was posted here... I wasn't disappointed... loved Hermione and Remus and Snape... her parents liking Snape... asking him if he is a vampire... Hermione's asking who that was and what happened to Snape... What a bittersweet end... What's wrong with Tara's father... why doesn't lift that fidelity charm so his daughter can be happy and fulfilled?
Response from averygoodun (Author of Marry a Choice)
Well, you can rest easy on the WIP front. This story is finished, just hasn't finished going through the beta mill. I WILL post all of it. Thanks muchly!
Response from AMRA (Reviewer)
I can hardly wait... I'm going over to finish the new posts for 25 Dates, another unique storyline!
omg...what is going on here...she is supposed to be with snape...not lupin....great story but omg...i can't stand this pairing...keep up the good work...
Response from averygoodun (Author of Marry a Choice)
hehehe. I'll update as soon as possible. Thanks!
Ack! I can't stand it! Not with Remus! AHHH! LOL! I suppose that since it should help her see the mistake she is making, it might be okay. . . but only if she actually sees the mistake! Oh beta people, please hurry up and get that chapter ready to share with us readers posthaste!
Response from averygoodun (Author of Marry a Choice)
Betas are working away, honest! I'll give you a hint into the next chapter, though: Snape gets one last shot to make his case. The question is whether she'll hear him out, or even care. mwahahaha *grin* Thanks!
Response from beletseri (Reviewer)
Argh! The suspense! Evil author!
ACK! She slept with Lupin. Ugh... don't like it, though for her to understand what that spell does, she wouldn't have believed if someone else would've told her. Grrrrr. So very frustrating. I really need the next chapter now, please. I want Snape to get through to her. I want her to see how much he really loves her, I want him to be kind and loving to her without lashing out. ARGH!!!!!! So, no, I won't kill you.... yet! ~Ginny
Response from averygoodun (Author of Marry a Choice)
Yes, she slept with Lupin. *evil cackle* The next chapter will be here soon, I hope, although I warn you that it could be considered a cliffie. Hopefully Snape will get through to her, and hopefully by the time she gets the message it won't be too late. Thanks!
Chinese water torture, indeed! Chinese water torture is waiting for another chapter!! I do hope you update soon, the suspense is killing me! This is very well written. It's believable from all of the character's points of view. Cheers! GG
Response from averygoodun (Author of Marry a Choice)
Thank you! I'll try to update soon, but (unlucky? lucky?) 13 is still in the beta mill, so it'll be a bit.
Never seen such a thick Hermione. How long will you keep up from seeing what's good for her ? Update soon please !
Response from averygoodun (Author of Marry a Choice)
Remember what I said (at some point) about this being a parody? There are only a couple chapters left, so she's gotta see the light at some point. Course, it could be like 'Gone With the Wind', and Snape says at the end, "Frankly Hermione, I don't give a damn." Anything is possible. I'll update asap!
