Will you send me your new e-mail address off-list? Every one I have for you has bounced and I have been trying since before the new year. ^_^

Thank you for reading and reviewing. The sequel is in the process of being written. I do not begin posting any of my stories until they are completely written, so it's anyone's guess as to when I will finish and begin posting. ^_^

I'm working on it. Slowly. I don't plan to post until it's completed and I seem to have hit a snag. It's called "writer's block". I can't seem to think of how to get them back on track after their argument. ^_^

Yeah, I know how that is. Sometimes I feel really bad about not posting for long times. I also keep losing my beta readers, which doesn't help. :(

The story, at least this part, is completed, and, yes, there will be more exchanges. Thank you for the review. I really had fun writing this. ^_^

I'm glad you're enjoying the humor. I think all stories need a touch of humor or they end up being too dark and morbid. Even the best horror writers add humor somewhere in their stories. If the staff at Hogwarts manages to reverse the curse, they may have to find Severus a body. Remember, the book said the curse destroy's the body of the person being cursed. ^_^

Thanks. I think that's the best part of the writing, the interactions between the two of them. They're so much alike, even in canon, in my opinion. ^_^

Actually, this is the first time I even considered using it in a story. It just felt right as a counter to Minerva's comment of never teasing a dragon. Thanks for the review. ^_^

Velvet Song loved that line as well. It just sounded right when Minerva said to never tease a dragon. Thanks for the review. So, when do we get the next chapter of "More Than Brushstrokes", hmmm? ^_~

ignoring.  :)

That's okay. I thought about telling you to ignore this when I finally signed onto the archives, because I always do my email first before reading the archives. Thanks for the new chapter. Eagerly waiting for the next one. ^_^

Thank you. I really enjoyed taking over from Velvet Song and running with this. It was fun. ^_^

And it gets even better. Thanks for the review. ^_^

I'm glad you're enjoying the Hermione and Severus show. Thanks for the review. ^_^

There's always Lockhart. Just kidding (ha ha). Since Moldibutt designed the curse, you just know he has to have a counter-curse, don't ya know. How else could he torture his enemies? ^_^

I'm updating as fast as I can. Chapter 15 is in the queue and sixteen is almost ready to be added. Thanks for reading my little effort. ^_^

Thank you. We spent some time emailing each other: me to ask questions and her to answer. Hopefully, I'll be able to update fairly often. ^_^

Thank you for reading. Chapter 15 is in the queue. ^_^

Glad you're enjoying it. Chapter 15's in the queue and 16 is with the betas. ^_^

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Velvet Song's first thirteen chapters can be found on this archive under her name. I am just continuing the story for her so that we can see it completed. ^_^

So speaks the dragon? Thank you for your review. I like your screen name. ^_^

Thank you. Hope you keep reading. ^_^

Ya think so? We'll see. ^_^

I'm just following your lead, sweetie. Thanks for starting this wonderful story. ^_^

I'm glad you like it. I've had to find another beta because Velvet Song couldn't do it anymore. Chapter 15 is in the queue and Chapter 16 is beta'd. I've written through Chapter 19 so far. ^_^

Thank you. I am glad you like it. I hope I can stay close to Velvet Song's original story idea. ^_^

I think that would be me. *grin* Thanks for reading. I'm trying to do the original story justice. ^_^

Oh, god, you KNOW you are!!!! You are one of the few authors who can wrap me up in a story within a fingersnap!

I'm glad you think so. It's nice to know my stories can bring joy to people. ^_^

I'm trying. Thanks for reading. ^_^
