Alan Rickman obsessed ex-civil servant now living the good life in France. I only write in the good ship SS/HG. However, if you think that the only way these two can get together is by some sort of forced marriage, 'binding' or whatever, don't read my stories. You will be disappointed.

Can portraits feel pain? Becasue I would sure like to slap Dumbledore right now.

he'd taught a large chunk of his potential customers, and they were not forgiving. Had a feeling that this would come back and bite him in the a** one day. Poor Severus.I'm loving this piece! Cheers. /M

Ah, he doesn't know the reason - foolish man.

No, he's pretty clueless really.

Mmmm, what a lovely view! I can't blame Hermione for being so distracted. And I'm hugely intrigued by Phineas' observations about Burbage. I look forward to seeing what comes next!

Severus hurled the glass at Dumbledore's face.About time someone did! Too bad it wasn't full of turpentine.

Ooh, I LOVE the elves taking care of Severus. I teared up at the bit about him preventing Purdy from being used for target practice.

Thank you - seems obvious to me he would have protected all the castle's inhabitants as much as he could.

Damn it! That IS good news!!Headmaster Granger is not the only one fancying Headmaster Snape and his sinewy muscles and precarious pants. *sigh* Go Purdy GO!!!!!!Can't wait, want more!!!! Thank you!!!

*claps hands delightedly* A matchmaking house-elf! How delicious! Severus taking off his shirt and Hermione's reaction are brilliant. I can't wait to see what Purdy has in store for them ... as well as if Burbage and Albus will find a way to throw a spanner in the works.

yay, Purdy!!! (sends Dumbly's paiting for "restoration....") well, I cannot guess what Professor Burbage will say about Betty's painting, or what Phineas will say about the Raven. I do like the imagery of a shirtless Snape about ready to lose his trousers. 
thanks for the new chapter!!

All right! House-elf intervention. Whoot, whoot. I'm curious about Burbage's real reasoning for pulling the picture. He seems to be up to something.
Response from melusin (Author of What Goes Around....)
Now, they're free agents, it's hard to stop them once they get going. He is acting suspiciously, isn't he?

I really like this story. It is original, and everytime I read a chapter, I can't wait for the next one.

"Mouth slightly agape, Hermione stared as Severus pulled his shirt out of his trousers and slipped it off. She was treated to the sight of strong, sinewy muscles and a long, pale back ending at a pair of trousers that looked set to lose its battle with gravity at any minute." We should be so fortunate.... *sigh*I love the story and I love Purdy. 'Headmistress Granger is fancying Headmaster Snape!' I can't wait to see what the house elves dream up to get Hermione and Severus together. This promises to be great fun.Professor Burbage is going to be trouble, I just know it, and Phineas is onto him. Hermione had better pay attention to what the former Headmaster is trying to tell her. Perhaps trading favors with her — the story of the Raven for Hermione's asking Burbage about why he has really removed Betty the Bloodthirsty's portrait will lead to finding out what nefarious plan Burbage has up his sleeve.Great story you have here! Well done.Beth

I think Hermione was living in hope.Lots of action still to come.

*lol*Loved that chapter!"The minor deity in question" and "a pair of trousers that looked set to lose its battle with gravity at any minute" will stick in my mind for quite a while. Thanks for both images!Oh, and I consider it a great idea to give the house-elves not only a heart, but a brain as well!

Another great chapter. I'm looking forward to seeing what the house elves come up with for the Headmaster and Headmistress.

Thank you.
Response from melusin (Author of What Goes Around....)
Thank you.
Now that Purdy and the rest of the elves are in on it, I believe its safe to say the wedding date can be penciled in. I wonder if Purdy knows about the Raven?? Oh Phineas I love how he is ever conniving.
