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. ;)

Oh my poor dear Serverus gets blinded so easily.  Hermione just told you she loved YOU and here you are thinking she can just turn on a dime and go for another guy, open your eyes and look at her, she is hurting.What will Ginny do now that she has figured out who "S" is?  If she is a true friend she will not make Hermione feel any worse than she already does but will let her cry on her shoulder and by the way...  I love how she gets information that she wants and states her Mum would be proud.   hee hee.  Sorry about your tooth, I know from experience there is nothing like a true tooth ache to bring you to your knees.  I hope you feel better soon.   I of course can't wait for the next update, I am addicted to your story.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Thanks for the review!  Next update due soon. :)

What?!?!  Snape was not supposed to storm out.  He and Blaise are supposed to duel for her affections right then and there, which has Hermione so hot and bothered that she jumps them both, effectively making Ron correct in his earlier startment that she was shagging Slytherins.  Plural.Wonderful chapter, as always!By the way, if I ever get the notion to write a children's book, I'd like permission to use the title, "Sunny33 and the Evil Tooth of Doom."  Watch out bestseller list, here I come!  :)

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Ooo, go on, write it! Shagging two Slytherins at once, now you're getting greedy, Miss! :P

Ugh, teeth! Don't remind me! I'm almost done with my orthodontic work and now I have to have him check a tooth. It's fine until I bite down on it. Then it's really sensitive. It worrys me. Speaking of worry, Severus is sad.  He doesn't even worry about Hermione and Blaise's (non) relationship. He just goes straight for the guillotine and cuts them both to ribbons before he even understands what's going on. Not fair, I say.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

But he's had it from the horse's (Rolanda's) mouth that they are shagging.  Poor guy.  He needs a cuddle! :)

Sunny, I was outside the other day enjoying a beautiful sunny spring day, as we here in North Wesern Victoria are blessed with, when I wondered Sunny 33, I always assumed it was an age thing but now I wonder if it is weather.  Each time the weatherman says tomorrow will be sunny and top of 33 I will think of you.As far as the tooth, hope your trip to the "fang farrier" goes well, my daughter is off to the dentist today, unfortunatley her dentist is 250kms away.Now the story, 5 stars of course.  Mind you you nearly get that for undating.  The joy I get when I see it has updated must be worth 4 and a half stars on its own. At the end of this chapter all I can think is "Poor Severus"  I just want to give him a hug and tell him everything will be alright.  Mind you I actually value my life so I won't.Hope you can update a bit quicker next week, and with a better feeling tooth you might put poor Severus out of some of his misery.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

I wish it was age related.  No, I used to use sunny on another site years ago, and when I tried to get sunny on Ashwinder (I think) some years ago it was taken, as was sunny 1 and sunny2 and sunny3, so in a fit of pique I tried sunny33, and here I am! Next week I am away from home on holiday but will take my computer with me and try to get some writing in amongst visiting and socialising! :)

Response from hollyhopdrive (Reviewer)

Enjoy your holiday

Oooh dear!  Stupid RON!  Of course Snape jumps to the wrong conclusion and believes gossip he'd have dismissed any other time.  As usual, I can't wait for an update.  This is such an excellent story!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Thank you! :)

Oh... dear.*sends virtual stiff drinks and sexy dentists through the internets*These two can't catch a break, can they? I might be a rare specimen among SS/HG shippers; I love Ron, truly, madly, deeply. I wanted to knock your Ron's teeth out. But in a loving way.  Thanks for the update. Please get better soon. For your ownsake as well as for ours!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Ooo, sexy dentists!  Mine's a woman.  Went my sister's dentist when I was visiting her one year.  He was quite tasty!  Poor Ron means well, but he's a bit clueless. :)

Response from TeaOli (Reviewer)

Note to Ron: I still love you, but you are so clueless at times. Often it's your very cluelessness which endears you to me, but this time... sigh. I don't really want to knock out your teeth; I wouldn't mind if the spontaneously fell out, though.

*sigh* Poor Severus. Poor Hermione.And go, Ginny, for figuring it out. *g*Also, Ron is being so wonderfully, horribly Ronnish, ick!Looking forward to the next chapter.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Ronnish.  I like that as an adjective! :)

I'm sorry about the tooth, but didn't it give you even more inspiration for Angry!Snape?People get more exercise jumping to conclusions than any other.

Ronnikins, Ronnikins, Ronnikins Trallalalla! So my last guess was right! HA!"We finnaly had some influence on her!" Boy you are so daft. Liked Ginny here, "mother would be proud" *grin*Oh yes boys, you do need all the help you can get. urghreal teenagers. Like it how you get the touch of evey character here in few words. And now it is gossip time. oh lord. This is a hard test.You described it just the way it really works. Half-witnessed scenes, little observed, wrong assumptions, wishfull thinking?, telling "just a few" and everyone else is listening.. oh Ron - again. "No one was there - I think"And then down in the dungeons. Oh Merlin, someone is suffering. Really badly. I do feel for him.you are so right, he really feels that he has to  be strong and resistsant for both of them.But he suffers, oh he does love her. And he wants to be closer. The Potions Masters disaster: no mixture, no antidote, no Potion to cure this most serious of all cases.oh how must he burn.Liked the picture of "red inc/ red rage spreading on the floor" or so.And then sitting at the table, watching her - again- and hearing THESE news.ouch.I would have screamed. There is the advantage of a efficient Spy training. Never show emotions. Always under control. The perfect spy. Him.At least he shows some human response, and lacks of appetite. I really feared for his "honoured Snake", thought he would break said Snakes back at several places. Well, he finally vents his wrath on them - not so boisterous as I would have expected, and not with inflicting damage directly to them as he could have- or could he? Taking housepoints is rather causing damage to the community, than to the people concerned?Oh this is tragic.I feel for both of them. *sniff*or all three. Because Blaise really wants to help, and he really wants it to come to a good ending. good guy.

Response from salvamea (Reviewer)

OH, and I hope you'll get your own evil cliffie - er tooth - problem out of the way soon.bless you.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

That was amazing. :D

Oh no! Poor Hermione! Poor Blaise too- you need to invent a woman for him to fall in love with ;)I really like your characterization of Snape, though some might think he is being silly, really, unless you write in a world where teacher-student relationships are okay because of dwindling magical population or something it would be a huge deal for him to be with one of his students and probably lead to his dismissal AND not being accepted for employment at any other place with students.  Hopefully Snape would be (like yours) enough of a reasonable person, even whilst in luuurve, to see all the consequences of his actions.  Although, somehow, I think those walls might crumble sometime soon! 

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Yes.  Which will win, his conscience and sense of duty or his heart and that other naughty organ? ;)

Poor Severus, always destined to walk in at the wrong moment. Looking forward to more. sympathies for the tooth, brandy was the only thing that helped when my wisdom tooth was extracted and the hole wouldn't heal.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Severus has lousy timing! :)

Awwww. Poor Hermione! And Severus!Awwww, poor sunny, too! Thanks so much for working through the pain to get another wonderful chapter up. I can honestly say that I never even considered Ron for the person who peeked in the door. You totally distracted me into thinking that all he was going to be doing was eating and talking about the next meal's menu!And, once again, you are the diva of cliffies!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Yes, well, one would think that of Ron! :)

this is me jumping up and down for joy for a new update.  As far as a tooth goes I totally understand.  Mine was pulled on Thursday after 3 weeks of agony.  I just love how "Ron" can assume something and it is fact within minutes.  Poor Severus.  Let's hope he will pull his head out and listen to reason.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Nice wee dance there, babe! :)

OH NO!!! Severus is so going to get the wrong idea now and will probably never want to hear what she has to say!! Poor Severus and Hermione...Egads!! I am so loving this story, and Ronald Weasley needed to keep his mouth shut! Grrrrrrr!!!!!!More soon, Please!!!  WELL DONE!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Ron's a teenaged boy.  They are idiots by default! :)

Thank you so much for the update, evil tooths are absolutely a valid reason for any delay, I have had one of two of them my self. I hope yours are a whole lot better by now:-))So, Ginny is butting her nose in where it doesn't belong, hopefully (though I find it unlikely) she will keep her ideas for herself and not pester Hermione for more information to gossip on. I think your Ginny probably means well, but I am not to fond of people who claim to be friends and then tries to use that as an excuse to extract information they have no business meddeling with. If Hermione chose to confied in Ginny, that is OK, but a Ginny looking for information Hermione is not willing to give at the moment....And Severus, as predicted the man has a genuine ability to add two and two and get the wrong number. One could almost be amazed over how a man supposed to be so brilliant, and so proud of Slytherin cunning, his "only Gryffiondors rush in without all information", can be so incredible quick to jump to conclutions, make up his mind based on assumptions and decide that his truth is the only truth. I know the reason is because his heart is at risk, but sometimes I just want to put his "Slytherins acts based on information, are cool and collected and so much better than all the rest" down his throat and choke him a tiny bit with it. Hopefully you will straigthen him up soon:-))

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

LOL re the choking Sev bit!  :D
