Talk, yeah, that's what they will do. I love this story!

even the stupid way I bite my lip when I’m thinking - uh oh...To me you did. You do - ~ iz puddle ~.  You are being ebil again. ~glares ~

Okay, now I know you are evil.  You just leave it at this prercise moment.  Good chapter.  I like how you manage to bring the imagery of the paintings to life.

Oh, you tease!  I love this story.  I hope you have the next chapter ready to go!  I don't think anyone can wait too long with that cliff hanger...

oh my!  The suspense is killing me!  When will she tell him?!  Or when will he find out?  LOL.  I can't wait to read more.

Lovely teasing around with al those Slytherins, Hermione! Anticipation is building and building:-D Jean is a wonderful, insightful mother - not a surprise! Looking forward to more!

OMG, omg - the reading her letter during the class - hahaha - brilliant! Love him becoming 'undone' and distracted to the point of having to leave the classroom. Five minutes, eh? LOL Really lovely, sumptuous work... OK, the opening is nearing- must read on! 

Mmnn - loved her dream sequence - heart thudding hard:-) *sigh* back to Hogwarts everything seems to have not changed except her, her awareness and feelings... loved the Potion's class and the slight detection of a possible smirk from the Potions master, and love her last thoughts...

Aaaahhhhhhh!  My nails are breaking off, hanging from this cliff is so tense. Some (positive) relief, please??  I am usually a Snarry shipper, but this has got me absolutely hooked. Astounding!

Woah! That was intense - I feel so for Snape, and given his distrust of women, even more for both Hermione and Severus once the discovery is made. This story is brilliant!

Loved Hermione's list -- Diagon Alley *whew*, loved the session together, but the ending - awww, poor Hermione/Grace, poor Sev - you really feel his conflict, longing and forcing himself to 'do the right thing'! Wonderful angst and longing!

Uh-oh. She's really done it now.Great chapter. I'm now eagerly waiting for the train wreck.

Love the dialogue/further discussion for the exposition, poses, etc. and further revelations; Severus' unfolding attraction to her and her directness with him - things are heating up very delectably.Thank you ;-)!

Beautiful, poignant chapter - '.. she's a reminder never to trust a woman wth my heart'; love the layering on of nuances, Hermione's budding empathy & sympathy for him... and her noticing all of his assets;-), love the background info of Severus' relationship with art/painting, his diiferent phases, love them both discussing 'Muggle' topics so freely/enjoayably. Lovely, lovely work.

Puns are lazy humour!  Puns are lazy humour!

Author's Response: Tell that to the teenagers! :P

I LOVE this story.  I can't wait to read more.  I need to remember to add this to my recommendation list.  Apparently, I'm a top reviewer for July.  :)

Oh my GOD, what is he going to do when he finds out!?  AGGG!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAOh what an ebil cliffie. I'd scold you for getting me invested in a WIP, but this is way to awesome for that :D Do bribes get us updates faster?

Hahaha! Love their inner monologues - and Severus' thoughts about the Golden Trio + Neville - wonderful! I held my breath during Ms Henman's conversation with him, thinking ' stop... stop - you'll blow your cover, you petulant know-it-all! *whew!* Love the details of the studio and the layering on of chemistry (One opinionated female won’t get the better of me.- Ha!) and subtle hints and descriptions of character. Snape's professional,*platonic* assessment of Hermione's proportions and colouring - oh sooo nicely done! As well as her almost being bothered about is - hehe! 

I love your your spunky, feisty, assertive Hermione, and I'm grinning ear to ear about the possible scenarios you've set us up for - wonderful! I love it that she is Glamoured, but the artist is not! Oh, this is a quite yummy predicament for Ms Granger to be in - hehe!

I surly hope this is not the end....  It needs more.  I forgot to see if it was a WIP at first.  It's an excellent piece of work and I look forward to more.

I'm really enjoying this couldn't wait to get to the next chapter.

hummm, sigh....very nice.  I like that she is so direct with him and he is not running away.

Very enjoyable new image of Severus to file away into my memory.  I like the artist.

I'm very much enjoying the conversation and the story.  I should drop by more often.  This is very good.
