Squeeee! Can't believe the portraits were gossiping! LMAO! Just caught the last 2 updates and can't wait for the next. Great work as usual! Gxx

Oh, the angst!And now I've come to the last chapter!Oh do post soon.

I like your Blaise.  Good on him.Severus, sneaking about in the shadows... ah, the course of true love never runs smooth.

Well, at least he doesn't hate her.What did Hermione write back?

I like how Severus is just missing figuring out who she is because he assumes that all his current students hate him.  He's like Prince Charming trying to find Cinderella.

“Oh, yes! Severusss!”(evil smile) I was kind of expecting that to happen at some point.

"To me you did. You do," he replied, his syllables caressing her self-esteem.Ah.  Again the way with words.

(is on tenterhooks) (scurries on to next chapter)

Ah, Hermione's a Gryffindor... though I think it was much easier for her to admit her attraction in a letter than it would have been face to face.  And she hadn't anticipated that she would be watching him read it.

Ah, Hermione, your sympathy has been engaged; of course it's love.

Hermione did not see his face crumple as she left or hear the shatter of the teacup as it hit the wall.Oh poor Severus!

With oils and brushes he painted his unquenched desire onto the barren canvas of his life.So expressive.

Getting to know each other.... (but I hope Hermione remembered to go and get her school supplies later!)

Even then, with his nose twelve inches from her left nipple, he was the consummate professional.(grin)

Oh, this is a promising beginning!

Lovely update! I *love* that Ron twigged on first.  He really isn't stupid, just lazy, maybe. :) 

so it was NEVILLE!!! Must you send this poor darling to hell and back? Oh, please please permit me to relieve him from his pain, and enlighten him with the glorious truth.*findsnoowl-ah,Snapegotthemallonduty*Well, whith Severus you are much kinder, to him you granted it - relieve, I mean *ahem*While someone was watching. You got me there.What living person in the world would be spy enough to live to tell THAT tale!!!And there we have it in a nutshell, said person is dead already.I like your way of introducing new characters into the story.Keep going ,this is fun. First stole Blaise Severus'show, now we get some gossiping - picture - ladys. It is just what I need. Fills it all with life.Hey, admit it, you spent your last holiday in Hogwarts, snooping around in ever corner.Didn't Mrs Norris find you?But I just don't quite understand, why she informs Ginny.ok, girls, Gryffindors, for a change, right.But the more the trickier, I don't feel to comfortable about this.It is one thing to stop Blaise from spilling the beans to Draco by a sealing kiss, but what about Ginny?hm.Will have to wait for you update of your wonderful story.Thanks for sharing!! it is so much fun to read.So the name "Grace" is all ove the place now?uh-oh.

Nekkid? And Blaise?

I'm beginning to like this Blaise ...  ;)

OMG, when will SNAPE KNOW!  AGGG.  LOL.  I enjoyed this.  I needed something fun to get past a very stressful and annoying time.  Today was a good day, though, and I decided to spend a little time relaxing.  I love that Blaise figured it out.

OMG! Is it Hermione's tattoo??Can't wait for more...evil cliffie it is again...

No way Sev could stay mad after a letter like that, though I can see it taking him a bit to come all the way around. Go Herms! No. That banging on the door would have gone away by now. -- snerk :)The only thing I don’t understand is his lack of reaction to you. I know he’s a superb Occlumens, but...”  -- aaaaahhhhhhhhh!He's spotted the Virgo symbol, heading back to the magical births registry, is he?

Ooh what magazine?! What magazine?! I'm so excited for this story.  I can't WAIT to see what he does when he realises.  Also, I love how Neville and Draco are getting along - it's adding something extra to the story that makes me smile.  Well done! Can't wait for the next chapter.

Snape you've had one clue you were i spy figure it out already so we can hear about some nookie!

Oh my, What Magazine is it? Goodness I do hope that Blaise doesn't say anything to anyone even after Hermione explains...Well done, I am so loving this story..And I do hope Severus will be understanding when Hermione reveals who she is!!
