*tiggerbounce*Yay! An update! Oh dear, oh dear, "Sidney" is going to be bowled over. He won't know which he likes better, "Grace" in an enticing dress, or Grace in her altogether!

Oh!  You build it to there and leave us hanging!  Shame on you!  But things are going famously so far.  I'm sure they won't stay that way, but this should be a night to remember.

Ooooohhh will she spill!! Yet again excited!!

She finally got round to the idea of shaggin her professor/art master senseless.ok.one step further.cool, she looked like having sex, not only dreaming of it.what in the world did she do... ahem.YES! her curiosity won. and she found a way to sneak out of school without arising suspicion and spreading the news to Snape by accident. Clever girl. And a wonderful mother.liked the little clinch Hermione had with herself about the lying to her friends and so on.She is a good honest girl, no bitchy chicken, that goes for what she likes and cares   a donkeys droppings for her friends and any moral standards. great girl.And then the scene at potions classher - zabini - malfoyGreat."you know not half of it"he followed her look. no, not let him guess something. use him as a sort of prey or distraction, but not let him get behind the secret. oh!!It is fun to read this little "befriending Slytherins" scene.Feels like she will need him /zabini some time later?you dressed her quite up, wow. and the mother again. "I was young too. " She knows what is up.good that they have a sit down and talk about business.grr. you and your evil timing for evil cliffies. grrI am dying to read about what happens at the vernisage or afterwards .. *cough*many thanks for sharing your clever story!!

Another great chapter.Looking forward to seeing her mother's reaction, as well as the showing itself!

What a moment to end a chapter!Looking forward to the exhibitions and the afters.

She's lucky to have such an understanding mother. Now she just have to convince Sydney that they are good for each other. I can't wait to see the look on his face when he'll realize that she's not just Grace.

Ahh!  Such a good story... but what a way to leave it hanging!  Can't wait for the next update :)

Auchy, that hurts! You are a tease... but so lovable at the same time. As always great chapter and wish I can see the dress.Flowers for you and maybe Sidney-Severus will get Grace-Hermione a present of some kind... just a thought!

I could tell you how much I love this story, but it would be more effective to tell you that there is a storm heading this way, and rather than turning on the television to assess what's coming, or gathering up candles and a lighter to be prepared, I am hunched over my computer reading for dear life, because if the power went out and I had not finished this chapter it would have been pure torture. *is pathetic*You always excel at humor.  Subtle, yet very funny.  Even when it is bad puns.Hermione sure is getting cozy with the Slytherins. isn't she?  Blaise followed her gaze as she glanced at her Slytherin of choice, but nothing else was said.  I wonder if he'll get curious?I think if Hermione's mother encourages her to pursue this, it will embolden her to embrace the situation head on.  Or whatever other part she might want to lead with ;)   That could be good, or could be disasterous.I haven't a clue what will happen at the exhibition.  With that kind of dress and the adult letters Grace has been sending, I don't think he'll have too much trouble forgetting she is a young girl.  I hope he doesn't try to be a gentleman, but yet if things go to far with her still as Grace, I fear the fallout that is inevitable.Do hurry.  I'm dying here.

NOT FAIR!!!!!!  Totally intrigued by this story.

AHHHH!!!!  terrible cliffhanger.  keep up the good work!

OOooooH!  Well done!  May I have some more, miss?

Another great chapter!! I can´t wait for their meeting. Let me tell you that I love Hermione´s mother she reminds me of my mother a lot!! I think her mother will understand the situation and be supportive, maybe she´ll recomend to tell Severus the truth?? I hope you update soon!! I don´t know if I can wait a long time :p

Oh! Love this story. Please more soon!

aaaarrrrrgh!   Evil cliffie - can't wait for the DATE!!!!   Great chapter

Not just an ordinary artist, indeed! Nicely done. The tension in the Potions classroom almost feels like you were right there. Draco watching out for Neville is hilarious. I guess it makes sense since he'd want to make sure Neville doesn't blow him up as well. ^_^

She's lucky her mum's so open-minded, eh?! Can't wait to find out what happens at the gallery! Hurry up and post again! *bounces up and down in seat* Gx

I am enjoying following this story so much! Everytime there is an update, I reread the previous chapter to remind myself of exactly where in the story you broke off. And of course, just for the chance to reread the previous chapter! And not only is the story wonderful, your writing style is just lovely too. Well-written, with a touch of  humour to spice it up, and concise yet great descriptions. I am looking forward eagerly to the next chapter!

EEEE! The anticipation.

Ahhhh, torture! Great chapter, I cracked up several times. Thanks for posting, can't wait to read what happens next...eeeeee!

Whoo hoo! I was so delighted to see an update this morning! I have been checking every day - I'm so caught up in this great story. The UST is killing me in a very good way.Superb work - I loved the 'Whole hog' running gag. The Hubs and I do those all the time - although he's much better at it. Looking so forward to the meeting - if my heart can take it!

Oh my it is getting hot. Thank you so much for another brilliant update, you sure do write them well. I have said so before, but says it again: I absolutely love this story! And, now I am very much looking forward to see both Hermione and Severus "live" through the exhibition, I expect them to be very, very interested in the paintings...

This is getting really interesting/hot. Can't wait for more. The quick update is greatly appreciated. Does seem a bit complex as to how she will deal with the identity issue. Although they seem to get around the age difference quite easily once she is out of school, still being his student might be a bit of a hang up. THANKS for writing!

*sigh*  No he's not just...not to "Grace".  I just love this.I am so glad to see the updates.  They feed my obsession. *giggle*Thank you for sharing~
