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. ;)

Another cliffie.  You are soooo cruel.  Please update soon and if not before the holiday, Happy Christmas.

Thanks! :)

No...you can't leave it there!  I anxiously await every chapter of this and love it but I now NEED to know what was in the letter...who was it from?  Why did he jump and was he going to fly or attempt to leap to his death! 

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

More coming your way soon. :)

queenlovett

please, please tell me he can still fly! The Cliffie so terribly reminds me of the part in Sense and Sensibility at Col. Brandon's doomed picnic. I beg you please hurry! I don't think I can take much more waiting.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Yes, ma'm! :)

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

In case I wasn't clear, earlier: Please, please, please!!! Even if you have to put them both in a coma till Summer term. End the pain, dearest Sunny. For us and for them!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

LOL.  What, have a catastrophe in the Potions classroom, then they wake up and the school year is over.  That would do Hermione's head in! :)

Response from TeaOli (Reviewer)

This isn’t about pleasing Hermione! Right. You’ll have to find a more suitable solution. One that doesn’t deprive her of time to work/accumulate knowledge.

10/10

TeaOli

First, my jaw nearly hit the floor as I read your cruellest cliffie yet. Evil Sunny!! Luckily, before I got to that you'd given us that lovely dream! Even though that, too, ended in disappointment, it was a delicious way to get the day started.

I loved just about everything in this chapter (bar the cliffie, obviously)! Blaise, as always, is a prince. And Minerva was force to be reckoned with. (Love that woman!)

Jean Granger deserves a Mum of the Year trophy. Seriously, she's awesomely understanding and supportive and wise. Since she rather reminds me of my dad that way, I shall henceforth be calling her DadOli in my head. 

And I’ll be calling myself EntitledReaderOli. So, can we please fast-forward to June? Please? Because the waiting is torture.

Oh, and can you owl me a Blaise for Christmas? I promise to send him back a happier wizard.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

I'll check Blaise's appointment book.  He's pretty busy attending to his fans. ;)

Response from TeaOli (Reviewer)

As if those little girls matter! I'd, er... I'd look after the poor boy better than his mother would. Yes. That's what I'd do to for him!

OH dear GOD!  What an intensely awful cliffhanger!  LOL.  I love it.  Of course now I'll be completely insane until there's an update.  I'm still ignoring all other fanfic updates while I wait for these.  It's never happened before.  This one just keeps me so intrigued all the time.  Seriously. Excellent. Story!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Thank you. xx :D

Wha??? Leapt off? Ashen faced? But, but, but things were going so well! Whyeeeeeee?

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Next chapter will reveal all. :)

MlleGigi

AAARGH!  Evil, evil Sunny to leave us with a cliffie like that!  I assume that leaping off the bridge does not mean Severus has tried to commit suicide, since there would probably be several better places to do that (the Astronomy Tower is the usual place when that happens in fanon) and there would be no reason for him to head toward the owlery if he were planning to kill himself.  Obviously, however, he has had bad news of some kind...and the most likely explanation would seem to be that someone has found out about his feelings for Hermione and is threatening to expose the two of them.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

It was certainly news he did not want to hear. ;)

Response from MlleGigi (Reviewer)

After reading several of the other reviews, I realize that I forgot Severus knows how to fly without a broom!I trust that you won't put Severus and Hermione through too much torment before they find a way to work around this unfortunate news (whatever it happens to be)?

10/10

Jinxie

Oooh, flying Snape. Must be important.  Has someone discovered the exhibit or is that his gift to Hermione?Looking forward to seeing how their Christmases go!PS - Happy Christmas!  ;)

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Happy Christmas to you too. xx :)

Okay we all know Severus can fly, so I think he wants to get somewhere FAST, the question is where, and why, and more importantly when are you updating???

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Quicker than last time, I hope.  *eyes pile of Christmas cards waiting to be done* :)

Reads last sentance.*blinks*Remembers he can fly.Glares at the screen and naughty cliff-hanger....You did good. Hopefully you won't make us wait too long to find out what happens next.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Hush, you.  Don't tell everybody! :P

Commas in a compound predicate? Bloody hell, woman, that's grounds for severe punishment. And the story? I thought it was Shacklebolt...

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

I can imagine your story.  Snape's letter is from Kingsley, who has written to ask him on a hot date! :P

Response from quaffswinegaily (Reviewer)

i knew you'd come round to my way of thinking, eventually.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

You're holding out for a Snape 'n' Shacklebolt sandwich...  It's those pubs you used to hang about in when you were young.  Had an undue influence!

snitchette

Sometimes I really wonder if you are going to put them out of their mutual misery. Anyway, I don't know what news he received (Blaise can be sooo creative) but at least that seem to have make a strong enough impression for him to take action. I'm sure he'll be a very nice Christmas present with a bow around his ... Neck (not what you thought, you naughty girl). Have a happy Christmas !

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

*washes out dirty mind* There, all squeaky clean now. :) Merry Christmas to you too! xx

Sampdoria

First of all. I am totally trilled to see the update, I have been waiting for it:-))Seccond, you left the most evil cliffhanger here, not nice at all:-)) I guess whatever was written in the letter, it was bad news? A ashen face color is not something I connect with a happiness. Please update soon, I am desperate to find out what kind of trouble you now have created for Severus and Hermione:-))

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

You'll never guess. Muhahaha! ;)

I was innocently sipping my morning java and nibbling at my morning fruit, which happened to a banana, for the potassium,being good, and-- I got choked around paragraph two - 'he has been naked under his robes the entire day' - HA! Thank you for that;-) Lovely erotica, lovely scene with Blaise (Harry & Ron are spot-on and priceless, as always)!Love Jean and Hermione's scene, and McGonagall & Sev- could just taste his moodiness - and the letter - can't wait! (but must, until you have mercy on us poor readers!) Wonderful!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Thanks.  Couldn't resist the idea of Snape going commando! :)

Bridge!? WHY?! BRIDGE-JUMPING CLIFFHANGER!!! WHY WHY WHY?!?! Evil cliff-hanger should just off a bridge itself. Argh! Frustration. Want more, much more, though. This one is very curious so keep up the good work.... Pweeze?

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

LOL.  More coming. :)

enchanter

That was unexpected.Enjoyed the chapter, as usual. Loved the way Ron and Harry got sidetracked by Quidditch; true to character, clever dialogue, and revealing how little they know and how they got that way, without outright saying it.Dream sequence well-executed; your knack for sensual writing was evident again.Looking forward to your next!! ... I just had this horrid idea for one totally random way it could go, and am glad it is unlikely.. but leaves me even more anxious to follow your plot onward.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Thank you. :D

HBAR

Um, got any lettuce to spare?  I don't think you should be harrassed for your commas, but I do feel like beating the cliffhangers out of you.What could he send her that would give her the wrong/right idea?  Jewelry?  Naked pictures of himself?  A plush version of Blaise Zabini hanging from a noose?I hope this letter from Blaise is what was in his envelope:Hey dumbass,Come get your girl before I swoop in and make her mineSincerely,Your young, attractive competitionOkay, Sunny, I'm dying for more.  So in this season of giving, make sure you are generous with your chapters.  I mean, I'm not greedy.  The only two things on my Christmas list are world peace, and some more damn chapters of Limited Exposure.  I hope I get at least one thing for Christmas ... sigh *is being ridiculously obnoxious and pathetic and needy*

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Hehe.  Love the idea of the letter, but Blaise is far too much of a gentleman! :)

Come On....this is draging on forever... I love this story but it's getting frustrating.  Please get them together soon.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

There is a plan, and it will happen. :)

You're obsessed with the word "darling."  I just want to point that out.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Yes, darling.

Gah!!! He leapt off a bridge?!?!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

He did.  ;)
