Hello all,  I am a 53 year old from NZ.  Although SSHG is how I started and still my main pairing, I'll give pretty much any pairing a try, whether it be reading or writing.  Sev and Herms need a bit of variety at times. ;)

Oops.  I hope Minerva is going to be reasonable.  And are we ever going to find out what was on page twenty-two?

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Um.  Probably not, 'cause I have no idea what is was either.  Any suggestions are welcomed. ;)

Finally got around to reading this chapter -- it was FUN. I liked how they were trying SO hard to be "good," but failed. I'm pretty sure part of Hermione's plan is to ask some advice from Minnie. :) Yay for kindred spirits!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Thank you! :)

I think this has to be, BY FAR, the single, most hilarious paragraph I've ever read:"I’ll go down in history as The Woman Who Desnarked the Snape. Slytherins will despair; Hufflepuffs will cry; Gryffindors will rejoice; and Ravenclaws probably won’t even notice." :D !!!!!!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Thanks.  I'm rather fond of it myself. :)

Outstanding! "I can practically hear what you're thinking..." Ooh, Thrilling. Legilimancy intimacy. Please don't make us have to wait too long for the next chapter. A month is a long time (I do hope you are well and not suffering.)

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

I'm fine thanks, just had visitors staying for a week or so.  Also very busy getting house ready to sell. :D

Just found this story and love it - but what a cruel place to find myself left hanging!!!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Thanks for reading and reviewing.  Next chapter is with my beta, so hopefully won't be too long. :)

Another wonderful instalment. My heart swells for Blaise, bless him. Love the unplanned revelation and am looking forward to Hermione explaining that one. And of course Severus explaining his, well, running away rather sums it up. Very much looking forward to the next chapter!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Thank you.  Should be up soon. :)

Oh dear!  Excellent as usual.  I really do love Blaise in all of this, he's wonderful.  A lovely chapter with a smile worthy ending.  Looking forward to the next chapter very much.  Thank you!

Thank you for reviewing. :)

Who

I can't believe I missed this chapter when it was first posted! I'll use the 'flu I had the second week of the New Year as an excuse for not noticing that it was up. I only discovered it when I went back to read the reviews and see if there were any clues as to when you would post another chapter. And, of course, that means a shorter wait for me for the next chapter!And look at how nicely Severus cooperated with Minerva about the party. He, 1. accompanied her to the Burrow on New Year's Eve, 2. behaved with civility, 3. tried to enjoy himself, and 4. didn't suddenly find an excuse to leave before midnight. Yay, Severus!What? Well, he did behave himself! 

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

OK, I'll give you that! :)

Response from Who (Reviewer)

Rereading, and spotted the humour in Blaise's comment, "Well, well, look what the cat dragged in", in reference to Prof. McGonagall bringing Severus in with her. Dragged in by the cat, indeed! Very clever, you!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Hehe, glad you spotted that! :)

I love your runes you chose for him giving to her.But we can but hope that their Merkstaves will not kick in.I just read the most dreadfull negative dark meanings of these.I happen to own a rune myself. Bought it a year or so ago.Mine is called: Jera. In my case, the Merkstave seem to have kicked in.hence the fear for our two treasured ones.oh and just what I wished for: a short but happy ending at new years eve!! Thank you so much!I definitely do like it!The easiest way to make things clear to the public. unwanted, unplanned, un-anything. Just happening.oh he will be furious.but well, he left her alone to face the music. not so chavalric, I must say.But looooveley.a kiss a kiss a kiss.This looks goood, soo good.And the job offer! great!a wonderful start into a wonderful year.Could it be any better?

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Merkstaves are not allowed! Thanks! :)

Response from salvamea (Reviewer)

Now that Sydney Snape has made buckets of money with his art show he can quit hoggywarts right? Then they would be free to be together!!!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Hey, I didn't think of that! :)

This is a response to the subsequent chapter, which my smartphone won't let me review. Boo to the smartphone!

I completely respect that you are working from an outline/plan. Very impressive! And mirroring our actual calendar is clever, indeed! You're quite the tricky one, aren't you?

Thank you for the birthday and Christmas presents!

Maybe they will have fireworks on New Year's Eve?

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Thanks, Grace.  I'm guessing you don't mean the bright, sparkly, noisy type of fireworks? ;)

Oh no... Both so distraught.  It's a shame, but the tension is divine.I wonder who purchased them? Hmm let me think.  *giggle*Thank you for sharing~

Oh, I'll bet she was upset. It's one thing to show artwork in public - another to show it in a mercantile gallery. Sidney/Snape should have checked that out beforehand. But Hermione wouldn't have know he didn't want them sold, only that they were sold. But the real question is - who bought them? I have my suspicions....

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Well, in fact, they both knew at the beginning the paintings would be for sale.  That was why they were exhibited.  But they'd been so caught up with their relationship they'd clean forgot about that side of things.  Severus realised with a thud when the letter came that doesn't want anyone else having the paintings of his girl's bits, but it hadn't occurred to him in all his angsty self-denial to tell Standish not to sell the more intimate ones. Hermione is more peeved that he didn't tell her they'd sold than the fact they were sold.  She's a practical chick.  Of course, she doesn't know he'd only just found out himself... :D

10/10

sarahdaye9

Uhoh! Hope he catches her soon.  I can see how that would be upsetting, to both of them, like selling off peices of oneself.  Poor Blaise too- you had better invent him a nice girl right now!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Thanks! :)
