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 NOOO!  Well, this does not bode well.  Snape, of course, will come to a wrong conclusion and go apeshit.  Well, perhaps not, but, really it's in his nature to come to wrong conclusions and go apeshit.  LOL.

I'm enjoying this story, but that's a pretty cliched cliffhanger.  Saw it coming ten miles off.

LOL.  Too right.  But I bet you didn't see what comes next. :D

First of all, thank you so much for the update. Seccond, as much as I love Hermione and Severus, at the moment I just want to smack their othewise intelligent heads together to see if the bang could rattle some of their obviously totally lost braincells back in order. If they cant even talk to eachother and use every oppertunity to misunderstand the others words and/or actions, marriage (and I hate to say this) should not be on their schedule any time soon (read the next fifty years or so until they grow up). Kick them in the but and force some veritaserum down their throat will you? I am as always looking forward for more:-)))

Oh, I hope instead of a freak out on his part, that he calmly asks Blaise to leave and gives Hermione the benefit of the doubt.  Or, he gets fussy, and Blaise sorts things out.  Or this could happen:"Um, guys," Hermione said, "have you noticed there hasn't been much sex lately?  We are probably about due, don't you think?"Both men nodded in agreement."Does that mean you forgive me, Hermione?" Snape said."I do.  And now that we are being all warm and fuzzy again, it would break the mood if we were rude and asked Blaise to leave.""Agreed," he said as he waved his wand foolishly, and the three found themselves lacking clothing.I will stop there because afterall, this is your story.  But you know, just add in some waving of other wands and we will all be squealing reading about those three with their bits all tangled together.  Well, a girl can dream ...By the way, I might have enjoyed your freaked-out Ron a little too much.  Poor guy will have nightmares for a week.  Is he bright enough to wonder why Snape needed to find Hermione's room?  Oh dear ...

lift's head from book to read another installment of the most stubborn man ever.   Good job.  I would have loved to smack the smirk off of Minerva face though.

Oh well.  I would have enjoyed seeing a mature reaction from one of them after the last chapter.  Especially Snape who should have sent an explanatory owl long before the final scene here.  And I can't say I'm looking forward to a second lap around the Blaise water hazard either.  Hopefully you have something esle in store for us.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Don't assume anything about Snape and Blaise yet. ;) I thought Hermione was reasonably mature by considering Snape was only in it for the sex then immediately discarding that idea.  OK she's still on the wrong track a bit, and he was so sure she understood why he'd said no, he didn't realise he needed to explain! :) 

Response from ladyljd (Reviewer)

I'll give Hermione credit for that correct conclusion but her account goes way negative again for refusing his plea for communication before Ron's interruption.  And I believe that scene proves he knew communication was urgently needed since he risked exposure in front of his entire 7th year class!  

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Totally agree. Both of them should have made way more effort to talk before this. But emotions and wounded pride are delicate things. :)

If Severus has changed his mind, why doesn't he simply propose?  If he hasn't, what will be the point of explaining that he doesn't want to marry her?  He's already made that clear.  Oh, dear.  I do hope this is not going to be another "Blaise would be better for her in the end" scenes.  There've been too many of those already.  Something tells me, though, that his "best yet" painting of Hermione may play a role in this.  I wonder whether Minerva knows anything about art?  Thanks for the update! 

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

He's the Head of Slytherin and clued up enough about his students to have figured out Blaise and Luna have been seen together.  The problem is he wants to marry her, but doesn't want her to be forced to marry him too early in case she regrets it, so he can't propose or that would also risk rushing the commitment.  He thinks she thinks he was only in it for the sex, but smart girl that she is, she considered and discarded that possibility already.   She is wrong in her assumption that he is only refusing to get married because he doesn't like being told what to do.  He's concerned for her not himself.  They're thinking at cross-purposes! :)

Oh, no!!!  Now he's got the wrong idea, altogether... but, if things were easy, the story wouldn't be as much fun.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Yes, well thy could have had sex in the fifth chapter, got engaged in the sixth, married in the seventh, and kids in the eighth.  Game over.  Not very exciting though. :)

Oh, dear.  My angel and devil are debating whether it'd be better for a calm discussion to come next or not; either way has its appeal to part of my mind.  Enjoyable chapter regardless, seeing them trying to work things out in their own heads.

I'm happy to see Sev figuring out for himself what was wrong without having to have his nose rubbed in it. Pity he's about to blow it with a royal snit, isn't it?  :-D

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Well, he's still got it wrong.  She'd already decided he wasn't just in it for the sex.  But SHE thinks his pride is wounded from being told what to do.  So she's just as wrong. LOL :)
