I am a classically trained singer with three children. I love Star Trek and have watched probably every episode of every series. Favorite HP charaters are Snape and McGonagall. (not as a couple.)

a promising start, my deb! i look forward to how you will be handling it with your usual grace. thanks and mucho smoochies
Response from debjunk (Author of More than Brushstrokes)
LOL. This will be a pretty fun one. After all that angst in Recovery it was time for something light. :) Well, lighter. :D
Evil cliffie! Enjoying the story very much!
Response from debjunk (Author of More than Brushstrokes)
Thank you! Should have new chapter up soon.
So much for me thinking he's grown up and can communicate instead of sulk of his own. Of course Hermione's clever than to let him do just that. And I have an inkling that sh's just about to reveal some important event relating to their relationship *hopefull eyes*
Response from debjunk (Author of More than Brushstrokes)
LOL, you'll have to see. I think he realized that he was a buffoon, which is a step up for him. Old habits die hard. (LOL, die.) Even when he's found so much peace in the afterlife, he's still a bit of an insecure man.
Hehe. Sneaky Hermione. At least I hope it's her! :)
Response from debjunk (Author of More than Brushstrokes)
One can only hope, as the alternative would not be very pretty.
I hope she has come to realize that she will have to be the emotional adult in their relationship, for some time. Until he learns what a life wtihout fear and abuse really is. As well what really to love someone is all about. Running away, or pushing someone away never solves anything, as he realizes when it's too late. But it seems it may not be too late just as yet.I can't wait to see what she'll do now that she has him in her clutches.Lovely, indeed.Thank you once again for sharing~

Response from debjunk (Author of More than Brushstrokes)
You'll see soon. Hopefully Severus will wake up, but there's probably going to be some other incidences along the way, you're right.
Ooh, fun! Of course Hermione would make it a portkey. LOL. I love it. I can't wait for the next bit.
Response from debjunk (Author of More than Brushstrokes)
Thank you! More to come soon.
I wonder where Hermione has taken him? Look forward to more.
Response from debjunk (Author of More than Brushstrokes)
We'll find out soon.
omfg human you are going to end up killing me one day! stupid cliffhangers. now where is the portkey going to take him? and is he ever going to get forgiven? hmm....damn. haha thank you very much for the update it was wonderful
Response from debjunk (Author of More than Brushstrokes)
Thank you, I think. LOL All will be revealed in the next chapter. And I will hopefully get that up very soon.
wheew! i could use some of that "simple slytherin cunning" the next time i buy a car! lovely update, my deb. thanks and mega smoochies 
Response from debjunk (Author of More than Brushstrokes)
I agree with you. I could use that same cunning. I'm pretty much a pushover. Thanks and hugs!
i knew that's what he'd choose! i can't wait to see how it works out. mega mucho smoochies, my deb
Response from debjunk (Author of More than Brushstrokes)
your reviews allways make me smile1 thanks so much
Very nice, clever premise. Maybe they shouldn't take the risk and Herms should just hange the portait in her bedroom :o)
Response from debjunk (Author of More than Brushstrokes)
you know. that would be a wonderfull idea1 thanks for the review
I just LOVE this story! thank you so very much for the update! i wonder what will happen next??? :D
Response from debjunk (Author of More than Brushstrokes)
thank you aso mmuch1 glad yousre enjoying it. More soon and yousll see what happens.
What a risk! I know he trusts Hermione but she can't be the one to do the spell on her own, so it's almost like a 75/25 percent chance it will work. That might be good odds for the Superbowl (Go Steelers!) but with one's soul for all eternity? It's got to be a tough decision!
Response from Severus49 (Reviewer)
Alright, I'm amending this because the Steelers lost (boo!)... I hope that Hermione has much better luck trying to get Severus out!!
Response from debjunk (Author of More than Brushstrokes)
Thanks1 Poor Steelers. let's hope team Hermione does much better.
OH MY GOODNESS.....You're leaving us with a cliffy again..will it work or not? OH DEAR!!! PLEASE let it work, he just has to get out of that painting and be with Hermione!!! EXCELLENT story, I LOVE IT!!!!! Squeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! What a grand thing to wake up to this AM....Thank you!
Response from debjunk (Author of More than Brushstrokes)
I'm so glad you're enjoying it. Sorry for another evil cliffie, but the update should be here soon. Thanks for your enthusiasmm!
A possible remedy to the ultimate situation...*sigh* Let's keep our fingers crossed. If anyone deserves a chance a a happy life, it's Severus.Thank you once again~

Response from debjunk (Author of More than Brushstrokes)
Thanks,
Response from debjunk (Author of More than Brushstrokes)
. You are absolutely right. He deserves this.
Now, to see if it works, :)
Response from debjunk (Author of More than Brushstrokes)
Yes, indeedy. And the results are in...
Hourray!!! I'm so happy he made the decision. Just how will they explain his return to the livings? Now, I'm more curious than ever.
Response from debjunk (Author of More than Brushstrokes)
Well, he'll actually have to return to the living to explain it.
wow, the implications of this are rather overwhelming! I mean if other people found out about it, it could become problematic, I would think. LOL. Excellent story and I hope Severus gets whatever he wants. It's not fair he's had pretty much all misery in his existence.
Response from debjunk (Author of More than Brushstrokes)
I agree with you about Severus. He needs something good to live for. As for the implications, they are overwhelming and it definitely could be problematic.
I'm not a religious woman, but I'll pray rosaries to get him back to life with her!
Response from debjunk (Author of More than Brushstrokes)
LOLOL. That's a lot of prayers! More to come soon.
Awwwwww, no! Pleeeeeesze don't tell me what I think it is! This is truly not fair, you know....
Response from debjunk (Author of More than Brushstrokes)
I know. I'm truly evil, and life isn't fair, especially for Severus Snape.
It must be like having an endless first date, in a way, being the two of them for the last three weeks. I hope something breaks between them (And really, just between you and me, I hope she NEVER gets out of there!)
Response from debjunk (Author of More than Brushstrokes)
That would be great, for a while. I don't think she'd be happy in the long run. Well, Severus could make up for a lot of lost career goals. I guess it has been like a long first date. But they've gotten to know each other pretty well.
Ah, amour. The first inklings of their connection. *giggle* Love it!More?? Please?Thank you for sharing~

Thank YOU for reviewing! Glad you're enjoying it.
LOL! Great chapter. The jokes made me laugh out loud too. A portrait with a soul! What a great idea. I'm loving this.
Response from debjunk (Author of More than Brushstrokes)
I'm so glad you're loving this! As you can see, I'm not one to leave Severus 'truly' dead for long.
This really has my interest. I find the idea of portraits fascinating for some reason. I can't wait to see how portrait Snape reacts to his creation. I love your little details which include canon and make it so much more credible - like visiting the Creevey home for a photograph.
Response from debjunk (Author of More than Brushstrokes)
Thank you! Of course, you can imagine that Severus will be very Snape-like when he comes to life.
