Yay! An Update!

I always look forward to updates to this story because you have such intriguing twists to offer. You\'ve matched the characters most interestingly, and each one is a fantastic match. I\'m now wondering about Draco\'s match - is he doomed to remain single? Or will his intended be someone who can change him, even for a little while? Embarassment aside, Draco is certainly not that stupid - he would figure out that looks and wealth are not the only two criteria for marriage, wouldn\'t he?

I\'m looking forward to more updates for this fic.

I only just discovered this story and I lurrrrrrrrv it! I read quite a few marriage challenge fics and this one is so different. I only just finished chapter 6, I don\'t normally review until the end, but I just had to let you know how great it is!

I have one small niggle, just a small one: I know the Wizarding world has slightly, erm, historical elements (writing with quills, blah blah) but why can\'t the married female students keep their names, at school at least? Why don\'t the teachers refer to the students as Ms such n such? Avoid the horrid Mrs word! \"Mrs. Severus Snape\" made me cringe horribly. (Sorry, raging feminist here, married with own name, been Ms since was thirteen!)

Love the teachers talking about provisions for children etc, wonderful. Love, love, love Snape\'s mental image of Millicent Bullstrode and himself! Everyone is in canon too, you\'re a very good writer.

Ch 21 - wow, you covered almost everyone in this chapter, whetting our thirst just a little but not enough. I think I\'m most worried about what Lucius is up to, then what Sarit Yidoni has planned. Hopefully, Hermione and the spying grandchild can figure out the figurine and un-charm it. As for Tonks and the Weasley Christmas - that\'s part of every newlywed couple\'s adjustment period, but I do feel sad that she is wed to Percy the Prat, with Ubermom Molly as her MIL. Thanks for the new chapter!

Great visual! Severus fighting for control over his sense of right and wrong and Hermione enjoying the fact she poured punch over his father. I gather the punch was spiked but why the fire? I guess he was smoking....serves him right.

Well damn, I would give my eyeteeth to have seen Hermione dump the punch on Severus\' father. Really liked this chapter. Looking forward to more.

Oh my god, Hermione is my hero. If only they a movie out of this story and I could WATCH her dump the punch on Taliesin... wonderful story, I LOVE it, please hurry with the next chapter, you\'re doing an amazing job of covering both funny and serious moments and giving characters both sweetness and snarkiness... this is wonderful. I can\'t wait to read more!
