A Marriage Law Challenge with a twist. Hermione Granger is really a pure-blood witch, and Severus Snape has the unenviable task of choosing between the Insufferable Know-It-All and two other bachelorettes.

Too, too delightful for words. Even though it isn't a Christmas pudding, I must steal Bob Crachit's words to Mrs. Crachit. "A triumph, my dear, truly a triumph."

Absolutely hilarious, especially the last bit. I can hear him saying his lines in the "Marvin" voice from Hitchhiker's.

Delightful tale! Hermione and Snape are fortunate that they're made for each other, because their other choices were horrid! LOL!

Response from fizzabella (Author of Strategic Negotiations or Not Wasted on a Weasley)
Thank you so much:) Your ongoing support and comments on this chapter and others are MUCH appreciated, and I am so glad that I was able to make you laugh and smile:)My warmest regards,Fizzabella
I have a stitch in my side and concerned questions are coming from the room down the hall that I can't answer because I can't breathe!
Bravissima!
Response from fizzabella (Author of Strategic Negotiations or Not Wasted on a Weasley)
Thank you so much:) I appreciate your comments and I am so glad you enjoyed the story, but I'm sorry that laughing too hard caused you pain :(My warmest regards,Fizzabella
Thank you for such a funny tale! I have enjoyed this so very much. loved the pre-nuptual agreement regarding custody of the books. Very amusing throughout with your sly asides. a wonderful story.---and I'm glad Rita didn't go to jail since horrible Umbridge apparently didn't go to jail. (But I'd love to see that) Thanks again for a marvelous tale.
Response from fizzabella (Author of Strategic Negotiations or Not Wasted on a Weasley)
I'm so glad you enjoyed it:)I appreciate your support; I know you have given this story more than one review and your encouraging comments have just made my day:)with my warmest regards,Fizzabella
Oh very good! He was bested from Day 1, and will reap the rewards for years to come ! :)
Response from fizzabella (Author of Strategic Negotiations or Not Wasted on a Weasley)
I think THIS time Severus's loss is actually his gain:)I'm so glad you liked the story and am tickled that you have followed it, and reviewed to let me know you liked it:)Warmest regards,Fizzabella
*giggle-snort*
Response from fizzabella (Author of Strategic Negotiations or Not Wasted on a Weasley)
I did a lot of that writing the story:) So gladf you enjoyed it, and thank you for the review:)Warmest regards,Fizzabella
Very good, I did enjoy that. I kind of was still hoping for a cat (toad?) fight.
Response from fizzabella (Author of Strategic Negotiations or Not Wasted on a Weasley)
Well, Severus could have sent Dolores back to the Ministry to her own office. Now I wish I knew what was in the note he pinned to her sweater, but I just wanted her out of the way:) I'm not sure she was eligible for the Marriage Law anyway, she might have lied about her age:)I'm very glad you enjoyed the story, and grateful for your support through the reviews you left for me:) Thank you, very sincerely:)Warm regards,Fizzabella
Very nice conclusion! Thanks for the smile.
Response from fizzabella (Author of Strategic Negotiations or Not Wasted on a Weasley)
I'm very happy you enjoyed it:) thank you for your support:) I know you posted more than one review, and I am very touched that you folloewd the story:) That means a lot to me:)Thank you so much:) {{hugs}}Fizzabella
I loved the way Hermione dispatched Umbridge and Rita Skeeter. Such an accomplished witch, she is! 
And she knew just how to get Severus’ attention with her rare book collection, but the coup de grace was the trailing of her fingers over his skin and her bestowing the softest of sexy kisses on his mouth! You go, Hermione! 
A delightful story, fizzabella! I can always count on you to entertain my mind and exercise my smile muscles! 
Thank you so much,Beth
Response from fizzabella (Author of Strategic Negotiations or Not Wasted on a Weasley)
Dear Beth,I am so glad you enjoyed this:) Your support has meant a great deal to me, and I am thrilled that you like the story well enough to cite it:)You have my warmest regards and thanks,Fizzabella
Marvellous, absolutely wonderfully marvellous! I especially enjoyed the joint custody for the books:-)
Response from fizzabella (Author of Strategic Negotiations or Not Wasted on a Weasley)
Sparked by a comment made by Peter Mayle in "Acquired Tastes" where divorce is described as deciding who retains custody of the money:)I am so glad you enjoyed the story, and thank you for your support through the reviews you have posted:) I am truly touched that you went to so much effort:)Warm regards,Fizzabella
Well, that was certainly unexpected! And I love how hard Severus had to try to talk himself into a marriage with Hermione. LOL. Good job!
Response from fizzabella (Author of Strategic Negotiations or Not Wasted on a Weasley)
Thank you so much:) That little twist at the end snuck in, but when I read what came out on the screen, I knew it needed to be there:)I am so glad you enjoyed the story, and it meant a lot to me that you took the time to review it and let me know:) So generous of you:)Warmest regards,Fizzabella
What can I say that I haven't said before...................you are a genius.Hermione was so incredibly predatory that Severus never stood a chance.Brilliant!
Response from fizzabella (Author of Strategic Negotiations or Not Wasted on a Weasley)
I'm so flattered, and glad you enjoyed the story:)Thank you for the review and all the wonderful support your words have given me:)Warmest regards,Fizzabella
I love this story! The Love Actually reference I found in this chapter made me smile...that's my favorite movie!!
Response from fizzabella (Author of Strategic Negotiations or Not Wasted on a Weasley)
Whoo hoo! You're the FIRST one to mention any of the references:) Sharp eyes:)I'm so glad you enjoyed the story, and Love, Actually is my favorite movie, too:)Thanks so much,Warm regards,Fizzabella
Best laugh I've had in a week! And, thank you, I needed that today! Oh, that last line was hilarious and so very Rita.
Response from fizzabella (Author of Strategic Negotiations or Not Wasted on a Weasley)
I'm so very glad you enjoyed it:)Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know.Warm regards,Fizzabella
I thought with rita Skeeter and Dolores Umbridge as choices he would jump at the opportunity. What is he thinking.
Response from fizzabella (Author of Strategic Negotiations or Not Wasted on a Weasley)
Ah ha, you anticipated his own thoughts in the next chapter:)Thank you for taking the time to review, it's very much appreciated:)Warm regards,Fizzabella
Very funny! I can't wait to see what Hermione comes up with, mind you, I would have thought that with his other two choices she wouldn't have much convincing to do!
Response from fizzabella (Author of Strategic Negotiations or Not Wasted on a Weasley)
Well in the next (last) chapter, Hermione plays her trump cards, and they're not only what everyone is expecting:)I hope you will enjoy it, and am tickled pink you liked the story, and thrilled you took the time to tell me so:)Warm regards,Fizzabella
Truly genius writing. You have a wicked sense of humour and I can't wait for the next chapter.
Response from fizzabella (Author of Strategic Negotiations or Not Wasted on a Weasley)
Thank you so very much:) I enjoyed writing this, very much, and am so pleased that it is making people laugh and smile:)Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me you enjoyed the story:) The next chapter should be up soon, it's in the queue now:)Warm regards,Fizzabella
All of this story is hilarious! In this chapter, I especially love the following:Hermione looked around at the crowded hall and appealed to Professor Snape. “There is something I think you would be interested in seeing, but I’d rather show it to you in some less-public setting.”He snickered and she blushed. “I didn’t mean THAT.” Now, what could Hermione have in mind... Hum... I don't think Galleons would matter so much to Severus, but an incredible library would most assuredly catch his attention, wouldn't it? Yes, I think so.........Wonderful fun! As always!Thanks, fizzabella,Beth
Response from fizzabella (Author of Strategic Negotiations or Not Wasted on a Weasley)
Thank you so much for the lovely compliments, I am so glad you are enjoying the story. Lets just say that Hermione is extremely well-equipped to fight this particular battle:)Warm regards,Fizzabella
