Chapter Four: Obsessions and Confessions
"Well, I think we're nearly there," Hermione said as she studied the canvasses lined up against the wall. "How many did you say you needed?"
"Two dozen or so," Snape replied as he joined her, absently wiping his hands on his jeans. "Those three charcoal sketches I did the other day will work well for the introductory panel in the entrance of the gallery."
Hermione nodded, appreciating the economy of line and stark contrast of the black and white drawings. "I see. So, start the viewers off with simplicity, and as they move into the exhibition, the works become more complex." She pointed to three paintings done in muted tones. "That's why you've done these with only a minimal palette of colours, but the later ones are more vibrant and detailed. It makes perfect sense now."
"Exactly. Too much too soon jades the eye. Each set of paintings needs to offer something more. More colour, more detail, or a new perspective," he explained.
"And the climax?" she asked as she mentally arranged the completed paintings into groups.
"Climax?" Despite himself, a faint tinge of red coloured his cheeks.
"The climax. The grande finale. I assume all this lead up has to finish with something spectacular. What are you planning?"
"That will depend on my model," he said, turning to rearrange some brushes on the shelf behind him. "I've had some thoughts on the matter."
Watching the subtle interplay of expression on Snape's face, Hermione suddenly thought back to their first conversation. Oh. That's what he wants to do.
Indicating the canvasses he had completed over the previous week, Snape continued. "As initially planned, we have sketches and complete nudes in various poses and degrees of detailing. I've done the works focussing on your neck, hands, and breasts..."
She took pity on him. "And now we need to finish what we started. You know, I've been reading up on art history over the last few weeks. It's not like it hasn't been done before. Courbet's L'Origine du Monde was certainly controversial in its day, but surely if done tastefully, something similar would not be beyond this exhibition's scope?"
Snape was silent for several long moments before replying. "Courbet's work is still considered controversial in some countries. Nevertheless, would you really be prepared to pose for such a painting?"
"Why not? I've spent the last six weeks naked for most of the time I've been here." Hermione smiled inwardly as she realised any previous inhibitions had become secondary to the success of the exhibition. "I know that sort of pose would be rather more exposed than anything we've done before, but I'm sure I can deal with it. Can you?"
Snape grimaced and muttered something under his breath.
"Pardon? I didn't catch that."
"I said, I'm not sure, dammit!"
"Why?" He hasn't had any problems before. Why is he all flustered now?
Snape began pacing across the room. "I know it's ridiculous, and it should never have happened. I didn't intend it, I swear, but I can't help myself..."
"Sidney!"
"What?"
"What are you on about?" Hermione folded her arms and waited. "Well?"
Snape visibly straightened and faced her. "I don't know whether I can handle painting you in such intimate detail, Grace. Or even if I should. Over the last few weeks, I've found myself increasingly attracted to you. No, don't say it; I know I'm far too old for you, and I would never expect you to feel the same way about me. But I have to be honest with you. I can't promise I'd be able to retain my professional distance should we proceed with such a plan. As it is, I had another idea I've been reluctant to explore for the same reason."
Oh, hell. He fancies me.
Severus Snape fancies me.
No, Sidney Reilly fancies me. The Severus Snape I know would run a mile from a Muggle teenager.
How do I get myself into these situations? It was bad enough turning Ron down once the dust from the final battle had settled, but this intriguing, talented, sexy man Sexy? Where the hell did that come from? is going to be standing in front of my Potions class in a couple of weeks with a scowl on his face, deducting points left, right and centre. Although I'd quite like to get to know him better, I just can't risk it.
I'll have to be gentle with him, but I don't want to ruin all our good work by failing to follow through completely.
"Sidney, you're obviously a man of great personal integrity. You've always treated me with utmost respect." Potions class not included. "And while I've enjoyed your company and conversation, I have to leave for school at the end of the month."
"School? You're still at school?" His words were a strangled gasp as his face reddened.
Bugger! Why did I mention that? Now he'll go all daft and gentlemanly on me, and I really want to see this exhibition done properly. "Er... yes. I... er... skipped a year, and now I'm returning to finish up and take my final exams. Sort of an adult student, really." There. That should work, and it's almost true. Time for a distraction. "Now, what was that other idea you had?"
Relief flickered in his eyes as he accepted the change of subject with alacrity. "Other idea? Oh, yes. I thought it would be a powerful composition to depict you standing in front of a mirror, studying your reflection. Before the mirror is an innocent girl, but the reflection shows a woman." He hesitated, reluctant to explain further.
"So, how does the observer know the difference?" Hermione asked, then nodded to herself as she understood the implication. "Her breasts. In the reflection, her nipples are puckered, and the skin is flushed, maybe a little damp with sweat, as if..."
"Yes." He didn't allow her to complete the sentence. "Of course, I would adjust the reflection image as I painted it. There's no need for you to..."
"No, it would simply be a matter of turning down the air conditioning. Cold air works just as well, you know. The flush and sweat I could create by running around the studio a few times before I undressed," Hermione said. "Shall we do that one today while the idea is fresh in our minds?" She had to restrain a chuckle at the baffled expression on Snape's face.
After several moments of staring at her as if she'd grown an extra head, he shook himself. "Very well. I'll start with the original image, then you can do whatever you need to do for the reflection. I have a cheval mirror in my room we can use."
Hermione breathed out her relief as his mind engaged with the technicalities of the pose, allowing his pride to retreat to lick its bruises. While he was fetching the mirror, she changed into her robe in the bathroom and ran her hands through her long, brown locks to tousle them a little. A slick of lip-gloss and she was ready.
"Where do you want me to stand?" she asked, dropping her robe over a chair.
Snape fussed over the position of the mirror for a moment before replying, unaware his reflection in the glass revealed his warring emotions. Expression calmed and firmly professional, he moved behind Hermione, placing his hands on her shoulders to guide her into position. She pretended not to notice the faint tremble as he turned her body a little away from the mirror and lifted her arms into the position he wanted.
"Now, turn your head toward the mirror and lift your hair from the nape of your neck as if you need to cool down."
"Like this?" Hermione lowered her eyelids and feathered her fingers through her hair as directed, the movement of her arms lengthening her torso and accentuating her curves.
"Perfect. A little too perfect," Snape said, reaching for a seldom-used artist's smock and slipping it over his head. "How long can you hold that position?"
What is he doing? He's never bothered bef...Oh. "For a while. I'll probably need to rest my arms every so often though." He looks quite uncomfortable. Why is he staring like that?
Oh, fuck. That wasn't supposed to happen until he turned the cold air on. That's so unfair; I don't get to cover up with a smock.
Snape's expression was almost painful as his eyes lifted from Hermione's nipples to her flushed cheeks. "I thought we were starting with the original? Have you turned the temperature down already?"
"It's all your fault, Sidney Reilly. If you hadn't made a point of putting on that smock, I might not have noticed that bulge in your trousers." Any sensitivity to Snape's delicate male ego had fled in the face of Hermione's own embarrassment.
"I apologise..."
Hermione brushed his words aside. "It's flattering, really, and I can't help it if it has the desired effect. Just paint, dammit!"
Three excruciating hours later, during which Hermione was certain Snape's little problem had not flagged in the slightest, he finally called for a rest.
"Enough." Snape dragged his hand over his face and put down his brush. "I can finish this after you've gone home."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. Please, just go and put some clothes on." Gathering up his palette and brushes, Snape turned away as Hermione shrugged on the robe and made for the bathroom.
Standing before the mirror in the bathroom, Hermione studied her reflection. Merlin! No wonder the poor man can barely walk. I look like some wanton creature who's just had a good ravishing. I never knew my skin glowed like that when I was turned on. And those damned nipples. Traitors! Still, he started it.
Must have taken a lot of courage to admit he's attracted to me. Especially when he thinks I'm a Muggle. He must really have it bad. I suppose I should feel guilty. I could have easily developed feelings for him, if I didn't know who he really was. He's so different, yet not. Still sarcastic, no patience for fools, and his little outburst of temper the other day when he knocked over the turpentine was pure Snape, but I suppose I'm seeing him from a different angle now. I can see the dry wit behind the sarcastic remarks, and really, that delivery boy last week was as thick as two short planks.
Maybe in another time, another place, we could have at least been friends, but once I return to school, it'll all be over.
Although, there will be the exhibition.
Sighing, she slowly dressed and joined Snape for their customary pot of tea.
"Once again, I apologise. My reaction to you was uncalled for and inappropriate," he said as he poured, spine stiff with misplaced mortification.
"To be quite honest, Sidney, it made me feel more comfortable, knowing you were aroused." There, I said it. Aroused. Erect. Stiff. Maybe if I say it enough, the thrill will wear off. Hang on, what thrill? Gods, Hermione, you're obsessed.
"How on earth do you explain that? I would have thought it would have upset you."
"Why should I be upset? It's not like you called into your trousers for your penis to come to attention just for fun." That's right, mention the P word. Really embarrass him.
Snape grimaced. "Do you mind? I'd rather not discuss the details." Despite his words, Hermione could not miss the slight glint of amusement in his eyes.
Hermione grinned. Her father was right. Humour always worked to defuse awkward situations. "Let's not make a big issue out of it, or you'll never get that last painting done."
"You mean you still... after today's debacle?"
"What else is likely to happen? I doubt you'd throw me on the floor and have your wicked way with me."
"How can you be so sure? You don't know anything about me really, Grace."
"I know enough." More than enough, Professor. You spent years protecting us even though you didn't like us. You risked everything for the benefit of those who reviled and doubted you. You're hardly going to allow a few hormones to overcome you now. "Really, what's the worst that can happen?" What am I doing? I can't seem to help myself. It's like I want him to give in to his baser urges.
"I could embarrass myself like an overeager schoolboy. Would you feel so blasé then, miss?"
Hermione smiled and patted his hand. "Sidney, if that's what it takes to make this exhibition spectacular, then I suppose you'll have extra laundry to do. We've come this far; surely you don't want to give in now?"
"Unbelievable." He shook his head. "I've never met anyone like you before, Grace."
"Don't be so sure of that. I'm not that unique." Just tell him who you are, why don't you? I'd better go before I say something else I'll really regret. "Just consider it, okay? I'll be back tomorrow, and we only have another week left to finish everything." She let herself out while he remained seated, staring at the easel where his afternoon's frustration sat waiting to be completed.
***
You've really done it now, haven't you? Snape looked down at his trousers and the unapologetic evidence of his lack of restraint. Thirty-eight years of celibacy, twenty years as a Death Eater, avoiding the advances of those who thought to educate me properly, eighteen years as a teacher and not once tempted by a student; nearly four months as a bloody hero with witches propositioning me from all quarters and I have to succumb to the charms of a teenage Muggle. She'd probably run a mile if I so much as mentioned magic.
At least there's only a week left to humiliate myself completely. Will put me in the right frame of mind to deal with another year of catastrophe-brewing imbeciles, if nothing else. And they thought Death Eater Snape was someone to be feared. He was a kindly soul compared with the frustrated old bastard they'll get this term.
Bitter thoughts tumbling through his mind, Snape continued to work on the juxtaposition of desire and innocence before him. With oils and brushes he painted his unquenched desire onto the barren canvas of his life.
Exhausted, the artist collapsed on his bed in the early hours of the morning, his unwanted and ignored erection having finally flagged with fatigue. He slept, fleeting images of cerulean eyes and dewy skin tattooed with odd symbols tormenting his dreams.

This is one of my favorite SSHG stories ever <3 brilliantly done

Thank you! :D
Loved the whole story. Lots of fun!

Thanks. :)
"And today, you’re as jumpy as a unicorn around Pansy Parkinson." Love it.

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!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
Thank you for reading, reviewing, and reccing! :D
Excellent!!

Thanks! :)

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)
