Chapter One: Job Hunting
The sun hung low in the summer sky, painting dappled pictures of light and shadow on the wall opposite the bedroom window. Sprawled upon the bed, Hermione Granger watched the ever-changing patterns as she contemplated the disaster she called her life.
What the hell did I expect? My best friends and I would contribute to the despatch of Tom Riddle, everyone would heap praise upon our shoulders, and the wizarding world would finally accept Muggleborns as equals? Then we'd all get on with our lives and even go back and finish school like normal teenagers?
I hate this. Endless rounds of interviews, photographs, and handshaking. Dinners, parties, speeches. I really, really hate it. How many times can a girl smile for the cameras without getting cramp in her cheek muscles? The boys love all the attention not to mention the squealing young women and some not so young mobbing them at all those Ministry functions, but I'd rather scrub toilets for Argus Filch than attempt a conversation with any of the men who fancy themselves as the next boyfriend of Hermione Granger, Order of Merlin, First Class. Half of them want to use my name to get a leg up in their careers, and the other half just want to get their leg over. As if I'd shag any of those halfwits. I have standards.
Okay, so my standards are pretty picky, but one day I'll find someone who qualifies. He has to have a brain, and knowing how to use it would be a bonus. Loyalty, compassion, courage, integrity, common sense, a wicked sense of humour, sensitivity, and he must be able to cook. That last one is essential; I'm hopeless in the kitchen. Good looks, toned muscles, and a good working knowledge of a woman's erogenous zones wouldn't hurt either.
The girl on the bed snorted and rolled onto her back, staring at the slowly rotating mobile of the solar system her father had helped her build when she was seven.
Who am I kidding? Someone who can string two sentences together on parchment without asking for help and can find a book in the library by himself would be a good start. Who cares if he's as ugly as sin and doesn't know where my G-spot is? I don't know where the bloody thing is either. I'm sure there are books for that, and I can always close my eyes. I just want someone who wants me, Hermione Granger, not me, one third of the fucking Golden Trio.
And I want a job. Being a heroine is all very well, but unless I start selling my name to advertise the latest designer robes (yeuch) or cosmetic potions (double yeuch), I'll not have enough in my Gringott's account to cover my school expenses. Pity Mum and Dad managed to spend all their savings getting started in Australia. I suppose that was my own fault for not leaving their knowledge of their profession intact. It must have been pretty hard to make a decent living with no qualifications. I was in a bit of a hurry at the time. At least they're back home now, although it was a bit touch and go with the memory reversal for a while there. Mum still looks at me a little vacantly at times.
Sighing, Hermione sat up and stretched. Long denim-clad legs swung over the side of the bed as she reached for the wizarding newspaper lying on the nearby chair.
Right. Get yourself together, girl. What's on offer in the Prophet? Surely there's a nice holiday job at Flourish and Blott's or Scrivenshaft's or...
Nothing. Bloody nothing. Don't wizarding teens need holiday jobs? Everything in here needs qualifications or experience. For Merlin's sake! I spent the last year fighting fucking Death Eaters; isn't that experience enough?
Oops. My language is bloody awful. Better not let Mum hear me.
Hermione, you silly mare, she's no mind reader. No one can hear your thoughts.
Except Legilimens. But they're all dead. Or disappeared. I heard Harry say Snape went and discharged himself from St Mungo's against medical advice and cleared off. Typical. Everyone is lauding him as the greatest spy who ever lived, and the sneaky bastard just slips away into hiding.
I admit it; I'm just jealous. Wish I could too.
The Prophet tossed to one side, Hermione fossicked under a pile of clothes until she felt the distinct rustle of crisp, Muggle newsprint.
I'd better check the Muggle papers. If nothing else, I could waitress or serve behind a counter in a shop somewhere until school starts back.
Or not.
Dammit! Go off and save both wizarding and Muggle worlds from the forces of the dark side (now I'm starting to sound like Yoda), and all the bloody holiday jobs get snapped up by ungrateful Muggles. Almost starting to feel a slight twinge of sympathy for the Malfoy prat.
No, it's okay. It was just a crick in my neck.
Pausing to rub at the offending spot, she almost had the page turned when a small advertisement caught her eye.
MODEL WANTED
Artist requires female model aged 18-30. Excellent remuneration and regular hours for eight weeks from June 29th. Must be prepared to pose nude. Artist's references available.
The timing's right. But can I do it? Strip naked in front of a complete stranger and stay in one position for goodness knows how long. Wonder if I'd be allowed to talk?
More importantly, would I be allowed to pee?
Don't be silly, Hermione, of course you'd be allowed to pee.
Sounds like a pretty easy job. Sit around naked all day and get paid for it. Perhaps I could take a book and read while he's painting my lower half. No funny business allowed, though. Would have to check his references. Although, it might be a female artist. Same applies, check her references too.
Being naked didn't really bother Hermione. Her parents had been products of the hippie generation and had cultivated a no-nonsense attitude towards nudity that had stood their daughter in good stead in the shared bathrooms at Hogwarts. The occasional guest of the Granger household found it a little disconcerting to find no locks on the bathroom doors, but they soon adjusted.
I'd have to be careful and use a Glamour though. Mum and Dad probably wouldn't mind, but if Molly Weasley ever saw me naked in a shop window, she'd have a conniption.
Eww. Ron or Harry might see me naked!
Malfoy might see me naked! Definitely a Glamour then.
I'll see what Mum thinks.
***
With her nose still screwed up by the thought of Draco Malfoy seeing any part of her body unclothed, Hermione slid off her bed and padded downstairs in her bare feet.
"Mum! Where are you?" she called, although the delicious aroma wafting from the kitchen hinted at the older woman's whereabouts.
"In the kitchen, dear. Just taking some of those ginger biscuits you love out of the oven. They'll be ready to eat in a few minutes."
"Mmm. Did I ever tell you you're the best cook in England?" Hermione's hand reached for the oven tray only to be rapped lightly over the knuckles by her mother's wooden spoon.
"Only when you wanted to eat all my baking, dear."
"Are you trying to tell me I lack subtlety?"
"If the cap fits..."
"Very funny. Anyway, what do you think of this for a holiday job?" Hermione passed over the paper, trying to sneak a biscuit beneath its pages.
"Hmm. Managing a five star restaurant? I don't really think your cooking skills are up to it, darling." Jean Granger moved faster, removing the tray to the bench behind her and rolling her eyes at her daughter's frustration.
"No, not that one. The one below."
"The artist's model?"
"Yes. What do you think?"
"Why not? Are you worried about the naked part or the keeping still part?"
"The naked part. Would you be upset if I applied and got the job?"
Jean chuckled. "Don't be silly. You know we've always taught you to be proud of your body. There's nothing wrong with nudity; it's perfectly natural and harmless as long as one's intent is innocent. I suggest you take a close look at the artist's previous work and references first. I know you can defend yourself against most things, Hermione, but it doesn't hurt to be cautious."
"That's what I thought. All the same, I think if I go for an interview I'll use a Glamour. I'd hate for some people I know to recognise me in a nude painting somewhere. I'll go and ring the number now. Thanks, Mum." She wrapped her arms around her mother, snagged a biscuit, and skipped to the door with a grin.
***
Hermione dialled the number and sucked her burned fingers as she waited for a reply. Just as she was about to hang up, a man's voice answered. Remembering to breathe, she replied, "Hello. I'm ringing about the position as an artist's model advertised in tonight's paper. Is it still available?"
"Yes. Do you wish to apply?"
"I do. I'm looking for a job over the same period as you require a model."
"Very well. Would tomorrow at two pm suit you for an interview?"
Hermione's brow furrowed. The man on the other end of the line appeared disinclined to volunteer his name or even ask for hers. Nevertheless, she took the details of the address and agreed to meet at the studio. She planned to arrive early and discreetly check out the area, wand at the ready. She'd had quite enough unwelcome surprises in the past twelve months already.
Brandishing the half-eaten biscuit in triumph, she turned back to her mother, who had followed her into the room.
"Well, it looks like you have a job interview. Was it a man or a woman?"
"A man. And the funny thing was, his voice sounded vaguely familiar. Kind of scratchy, but there was something about it. Can't be anyone I know, though. I don't know any artists. He sounded quite serious, not at all arty."
"That could be a good thing, dear. You want him to behave professionally, after all. Now, are you ready for another delicious, cooler ginger biscuit?" Jean glanced at her daughter's reddened fingers with an indulgent smile. Every time.
"I'm always ready for some of those, Mum. I'll put the kettle on, then call Dad while you put them on a plate."
***
I suppose I'd better get ready for the interview. Wonder what one wears to a job interview to be a nude model. Will he want to examine the goods? I'd better check I don't have any embarrassing pimples anywhere I need to take care of.
After a quick shower, Hermione unwrapped her towel and studied her reflection in her full length mirror. Turning around slowly, she tried to assess herself as a artist would.
Right. Face looks good, skin clear. Arms smooth, no bitten fingernails. Legs depilated love that charm Lavender taught me. Back when I was still talking to her in fifth year. What colour shall I paint my toenails? Red's a bit tacky. I think a nice deep purple will do.
Bum looks good, even if I do say so myself. Nice and firm, but not too boyish. Shall I Glamour the tattoo? No, no one has ever seen it except Mum, so it won't matter. Adds interest. Waist is reasonable, better stay away from those ginger biscuits if I want it to stay that way. Pity about the top half. At least they're firm and perky, even if they're a bit on the modest side. Still, I'm not enhancing those with a Glamour. If he's only after a busty blonde, I'm not the model for him. Fancy carrying that around all day. No, thank you.
Hermione aimed her wand at her head, and with a few murmured words and a little judicious wand-waving, her hair had smoothed and lengthened, darkening from its usual light brown to a rich, deep chocolate colour. Screwing up her nose and crossing her fingers, she pointed her wand once again towards her face.
"Oculus caeruleus."
Turning towards the mirror, she gasped. Intense blue eyes stared at her from a face framed with glossy, dark waves. She barely recognised herself. A touch of lip gloss and mascara later and she was ready. Time to test the disguise on her mother.
***
"Hello, dear, are you one of Hermione's friends?" Jean looked puzzled, glancing up the stairs from where the unfamiliar girl had descended.
"Mum! Are you serious? It's me!"
"Oh, so it is." Jean sighed. "You know how I get sometimes, dear. I must say, straightening your hair and darkening it those few shades has made an enormous difference. It looks so much longer now. And your eyes are amazing. I always wanted blue eyes..."
"No, Mum. Dad would kill me. You know he always says he adores you just the way you are. So, do you think anyone would recognise me?"
"You certainly look different. You're you, but you're not you; do you know what I mean?" Jean replied after a moment's thought.
"Hopefully, I'm different enough to avoid notice if any of this man's paintings are ever seen in wizarding society. Or by Great Aunt Emily."
"She's not so bad, Hermione. You just haven't ever spent enough time with her to understand her sense of humour."
"She has a sense of humour? Can't say I've ever noticed it," Hermione grumbled.
"It's dry. Very dry. But it's there under all the disapproving looks and sniffs."
"I'll believe you, Mum. Merlin, I'd better get going! I'm due there in ten minutes. Just as well there's an Apparation point near his studio. See you soon!"
"Bye, love. Good luck! And don't forget to check those references carefully."
"I will."
***
This must be it. Third door on the left, down the alley between Boots and the Indian restaurant. At least it's in a reasonably respectable area of town, and the front entrance looks clean and tidy.
He said just to walk in, and a bell would let him know I'm here. Well, here goes.
That's odd. I'd have thought he'd be out straight away. He was expecting me. Courtesy is obviously not one of his strong suits.
Hermione wandered about the small entrance hall. There did not appear to be any paintings for sale, but several were stacked up against the wall to one side, and two or three were displayed on easels. She listened again and, not hearing any sounds from beyond the door leading off the hall, decided to risk a quick peek at the canvases on the floor.
Hmm. Not bad. Obviously obsessed with the naked female form, but he doesn't seem particular about age, shape, or looks. That's a good start. All quite tastefully done, too.
Maybe this won't be so bad. The man's probably old and eccentric and harmless. Or young and completely gay. Or...
Bloody fucking hell! What in Merlin's name is he doing here with a paintbrush in his hand?

That was a great read, and I've recced this story on the One Bad Man comm over on LJ. I hope that some more readers will experience the pleasure of this story that way!

Thank you for reading, reviewing, and reccing! :D
Excellent!!

Thanks! :)
I think Blaise Zabini bought Hermione's pictures.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
Read on, MacDuff! :)
I thought it sounded like a good idea. Severus may need a body double for a pregnant Hermione or they could use polyjuice from a pregnant woman. Would that work? I know she wouldn't be pregnant, but would she look pregnant? The breasts change with pregnancy and he is all about the breasts. If he does the early pregnancy painting before a woman is completely miserable, maybe Hermione could just stick out her tummy. The 1st baby I didn't show for 5 months. Only my breasts got slightly larger. She could be looking in the mirror and imagining herself as a mother with a baby at her breast. Please tell me they won't have children this soon. Studies in the US show that people without children are happier than adults that have childern. At least if they stay at Hogwarts there are probably house elfs lined up around the block for the chance to take care of their baby while they work.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
Don't panic, Hermione has her own opinions on that idea! :)
I do like the fact that most of the other characters beside H and S are very astute and aren't missing much when it comes to the couple in question. In most other stories the other characters aside from possibly Ginny and maybe Harry seem to be mostly cluelss, but we all go along with it because it fits the needs of the story. I'm afraid to find out what Minerva has discovered.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
Most of them are pretty smart people who know these too well. Of course they'd figure it out. :)
Please let Minerva be understanding. Sorry. I have to get on to the next chapter!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
:)
Dear Severus, Blaise knows about us and he is in love with me so he had been providing a shoulder for me to cry on, because I've been crying a lot. He has been trying to help me work things out with you. He's very supportive and noble. In case you've been listening to gossip, I'm not shagging Blaise. I'm sure you are above listening to gossip started by Ronnald Weasley. That burk has no idea what really I do in my private life, otherwise he wouldn't be spreading untrue gossip would he. He saw Blaise comforting me and jumped to the wrong conclusion. Wouldn't it be awful to be like Ronnald Weasley?
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
Hehe!! :D
WTF!!! I guess I'll find out who that was soon enough. I hope it was Ginny. That would take care of that little problem. Severus wouldn't open her door without knocking, I think. Blaise is too good. What would Severus do if he thought Hermione was spending her free time laying on her bed with Blaise? Would he be jelous or would he nurture it and use it to rationalize a reason for dumping her and hating her? Does he really expect Hermione to leave him be? Can't they just agree to wait until the end of school? They are adults after all. Hermione would protest but it would be the best thing to do in the long run. But then again, where would be the fun in that? Are Christmas Hols coming up? Two weeks at the studio would be nice.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
LOL wouldn't be much of a story if they did the mature thing and waited. ;)
Not the response I was hoping for when he figured it out. What will you do with Blaise? Just as there is no one like Severus Snape, there aren't other girls like HG running around the school. He might like Ginny if he knew her better. Maybe Luna? She is definitely an unique individual. I've been too enthralled wanting to get to the next chapter to leave reviews, but I want to tell you that this is awesome!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
Thanks. :)
Is she going to tell her mom the real truth? She seems like someone she could tell the truth to. She is a lot like my mom. Maybe her mom can talk some sense into her about continuing to deceive Severus.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
Her mum's pretty open. :)
That silly girl. Is she trying to torture him by continuing to stir this up? Her stream of consciousness ramblings indicate she has no intention of letting Severus discover she is Grace, yet she plays with fire. I suppose that because she is more naive than any 19 year old would realize they are, she doesn't realize how cruel this is if she doesn't plan to have a relationship with him but only plans to lead him on for her own titillation. Does she plan to live a double life? Hermione Granger during the week and Grace Henman on the weekends? The more she draws this out the more deceived he is going to feel when he realizes he's been tricked. She isn't a stupid girl and she must know this deep inside. Now he knows she returns his feelings. What is he supposed to do with that information? This is going to get bad before it gets better I fear. I feel the most concerned for Severus who has more to lose. He would have let this lay if she hadn't egged him on. He didn't pursue her because he didn't want to be hurt. He felt it was inappropriate but aslo that she would never be interested in him because of his age. He isn't looking for a booty call. Has she thought that he might be interested in more than sex? Now that she has gotten his hopes up what does she plan to do about it? Has she thought it through that far? Again I ask, has she thought this through?
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
Of course not. She's nineteen. She knows she wants him but hasn't really thought beyond the moment. You know what they are like at that age! :)
It's too bad Severus feels he still has to be a git. I know potions is dangerous, but I'm sure he could get the NEWT students to cooperate without being mean.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
Not sure he knows any other way to behave. :)
Well, I've been thinking about how brave Hermione is. She has been nothing but professional. I admire her. I am a femenist, but I don't think I could have been that relaxed in her situation. It is unusual to find a young woman that is so comfortable with her own body and isn't recriminating herself for imagined flaws for one thing. She doesn't feel super sexy but she also doesn't feel embarrassed about any of her features. I suppose I wouldn't be able to pose like that without feeling at least as aroused as she did. She did have the knowledge of the truth to keep her from getting carried away. On the other hand, Severus was very hard on himself but he didn't judge her for feeling aroused too. What a gentleman. I am feeling very sorry for Severus. He is so sensitive. He's got it bad for Hermione and she's only "just interested" in comparison. She is young and has never really been in love yet. She doesn't know what a broken heart is yet. I've heard it said that women fall in love easier, but men fall in love harder. I suppose one could say he is only sexually interested in her but we know he wouldn't be aroused if he didn't truely like her for herself. Female Death Eaters didn't have the same affect on him. And what do you expect a normal red blooded male to do when a beutiful and aroused teenaged woman is willing to lay there with her legs spread for you for hours while you examine her every nuance', realising she is aroused because she is showing her lady parts to you. How sad for him to have her treat him so causally kind and truely proffesionally, to be honest. It must make him feel like he's just a harmless old man, and maybe even as if he was a trusted harmless old favorite uncle that paints lots of nude women and figure that she could never imagine him as a sexual creature even when she knows he desires her. Because while he could tell she was obviously aroused, I'm certain he didn't immagine it was due to the fact that she was thinking sexy thoughts of him. Hermione acted completely professionally. How was she to know he would develope feeling for her. I sense that this will get worse before it gets better, but I'm comforted by the hope that you will help them work this out and they will be whole in the end and a happy couple.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
It's sort of like biting off more than you can chew, isn't it? Neither of them really knew what they were getting into, but are trying as hard as possible not to ruin the hard work they have done so far by given in to their physical responses. :)
This story reminds me. About 16 years ago I went to the Musee d'Orsay in Paris with a friend. We thought we had seen everything there until we were leaving and I saw the postcard for the L'orignine Du Monde. I was like, "Hey Kathy! Hold on! Look at this! We've obviously missed a section somewhere because I'm sure we haven't seen this yet! My eyes had landed on it immediately like a magnet as I scanned the stand. 
I wonder how many people actually buy that postcard? I personally prefer my postcard of the statue of David for unreligious reasons. He has such large hands. I love large hands on a man. 
Which reminds me again! Later at the Louvre, we were down by the mummies. The underwire in my bra had broken through the fabric. I just couldn't bare it jabbing me between my breasts anymore, coupled with my painful feet from walking all over the city. So, I reached into the top of my sweater and pulled and struggled and pulled and wrestled it somemore, as I tried to get the wire out of my bra. There was an older woman resting in a chair by the wall. She was looking at me in horror as if I was about to pull a bomb out of my bra and blow the whole place up! Finally, I got the wire out and looked at her as I pulled it out of the top of my sweater holding it up. Her face and eyes lit up in a friendly smile of comradery as she nodded her head sagely and said, "Ahhhhh!" I saved that underwire with all of my other Paris mementos. Apparently broken underwires transcend the language barrier. 
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
Love it. Every woman can understand that pain!
Very lovely!!!! 
Can't wizards feel the magic signature of another magical person when they are together? I wonder if he stares at her long enough he will notice she is wearing a glamour? I don't know how they work in this story, but it seems in other stories they can be detected by the trained eye, and if anyone has a trained eye it is Severus Snape. I suppose we see what we expect to see and he isn't expecting to be deceived. 
I wonder how long Hermione can keep up the charade? I'm a little surprised he didn't recognize her voice when she was on her feminist rant. Maybe he has never really listened to her because she annoyed him so much. 
If she pulls this off for the holiday, I can't imagine he won't become suspicious after school starts. After watching her for so long he will have to notice the similarities of voice, scent, hand gestures and facial expressions when he see's her in class. What if he falls in love or infatuation with his model? During breaks he will surely find out what an intelligent woman she is and find her interesting. That could be good or very bad depending on how he takes it when he finds out who she really is. What a tangle that will be. 
Ha! I had no idea this would be bringing up the feminist cause when I went on my own rant in the last review!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
Just pretend for the sake of the story that he can only see a magical signature if he actually looks for it. He sees what he expects... a Muggle. ;)
Great stream of consciousness monologue! Yey for the hippies! My mom was a hippie. Bodies are just natural. Handy for the breastfeeding lady except when people are offended at mums breastfeeding in public and mistakenly say something in my presence and I have to climb up on my feminist soap box. I have to climb because I'm quite short, but once I'm up there I am very passionate. People who can't look at a breastfeeding baby without sexualizing it makes me very uncomfortable and I don't think they should be allowed to do that in public. It totally grosses me out! Strange. The young women that are my colleagues at work don't understand feminism. Why did they become lactation consultants and childbirth educators? Will Hermione tell him who she is or not? I am going with "not" for the time being.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
Totally agree about breastfeeding. It's perfectly natural and if people don't like it they don't have to look. Prats. :)
This end of this chapter had me in in fits of little school girl giggles hehe. Can't to see the real reactions to that scene!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
Thank you. :D
I've thoroughly enjoyed this. I remember reading this when it first started to post and I'm so happy to see it completed now. I meant to stop inbetween to leave reviews, but I was to eager to see what happens next.There are so many things to love here: the relationship between Severus and Hermione, Snape the painter (and I can see him so well pouring all his pent-up emotions into his art over the years), the friendship between Hermione and Blaise, the relationship between Draco and Neville...I had to grin when Kingsley turned out to have a wife after all - apearances can be deceptive ;)Very delightful tale with a lovely happy ending for all!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
