A tale of set-ups, sniping and silliness in large doses. When Ginny sends in an advertisement for the 'Lonely Hearts' Section of the Daily Prophet for Hermione, neither friend really anticipates a reply--that is, until Lucius sends one behind Severus' back, neatly forcing Severus to continue the correspondence. Despite their initial arguments, Severus and Hermione soon find themselves enjoying their correspondence, though they have no idea who the other is and that they seemingly despise each other in 'real life'! How on earth will this unlikely match of mistaken identities, verbal sparring and postscripts resolve itself?

known as Coco; also bella, gildedglamour on LJ, etc.
i'm a great many things, including:
indian & burmese
a proud harpy
a little crazy
creative and lovable... most of the time!
always vanishing at inappropriate times thanks to that dreaded 'RL'
really bad at updating regularly
apparently 'elegant', probably really not.
i like writing, slytherin men, writing about slytherin men... oh and reviews too.
:]
REGARDING ALL THAT'S LEFT
In case you were wondering why it vanished off the face of the earth, not to worry. It's undergoing a significant bit of revision, but it'll be back eventually. It'll probably be under a different name, too, but the premise will largely be the same. Thanks to everyone who supported me through it; I just wanted to make a few changes but it'll be back, I promise.

Thanks for writing this story...it's wonderful, funny and heartwarming! Can't wait to see what happens when Severus and Hermione find out the truth!

LOL, thanks for the "no food or drink" warnings before the chapters. I'd have gunk all over the place if not.Looking forward to more.
Response from bellarossi (Author of Dangerous Liaisons)
I still can't get over the fact that people actually need those warnings! hahaha. Makes my day everytime.

Lovely chapter! You had me back into the story in no time, and I loved every line of it. Can't event ell which is my favourite one, there were so many funny and witty comments... *sniggers* - I just hope that this time, you won't keep us waiting so long... ;o)
Author's Response: Yay! That's really good to hear. I was afraid this chapter wouldn't be as funny as the ones before, but there was a lot of sensitive stuff I had to stuff in before the next one. I'll try not to keep you waiting so long this time! :) Thanks for sticking with the story.
Love it!I can't wait until we can finally find out who you and your wonderful beta are. PS. Thank you for the disclaimers regarding food/beverages near the computer...my keyboard appreciates it.

Response from bellarossi (Author of Dangerous Liaisons)
Aww. I actually like Ron. Not a lot, but he's a cutie. But I suppose someone had to be the bad guy. Wait did I say that?

I love this! The letters are funny, and I can't wait til they find out who they are cooresponding with! I especially like Draco and Ginny together, I always thought they would make a interesting couple. Draco needs someone like Ginny to keep him in line, and the whole rival houses thing, makes it even more interesting. As for Ron, he has never been my favorite, although he did mature somewhat during book seven, in the epilogue, he seems just as immature as ever. I lost interest in Hermione/Ron a long time ago, when I realized that they would never make it as a couple, at least not for long. Do they even have ANY interests in common??? Anyway, looking forward to the next chapter! I hope this is going to be finished!Grace

I've always loved Draco/Ginny, as well as Draco/Hermione. I've been reading a lot of Dramione lately and I think I might take the plunge and write some myself. But I have to admit, Draco/Ginny is my favourite Draco pairing. Hermione/Ron NEVER worked for me; that was the one thing I really didn't like about the latter books. JKR's romance was just... urgh. And that is the short version of why I write SSHG. :D

I love where this is going.The plot is still thickening. I love the conversation about pronunciations messing things up. LOL I can really see that.
Response from bellarossi (Author of Dangerous Liaisons)
It actually comes from a real life conversation with a friend about how languages can be very badly misinterpreted, especially when they are harsh like German or Chinese. Can be very amusing. :P Thanks

LOL OMG!!!! I loved that last one. Great homage to the MasterCard commercials. It really is amazing how much you can do with letters and I love the weaving of the various storylines. You are doing a great job.
Response from bellarossi (Author of Dangerous Liaisons)
Thank you! Haha yes, I had to put that one in somewhere, I was dying to work it in somehow. I'm glad it worked. Thank you so much!

Boy are they getting snarky. LOL It'll be interesting when the whole things falls apart.

Nice set up. I like the letter exchanging now that I'm used to it. :D I loved the movie, so I look forward to seeing where this goes.
Response from bellarossi (Author of Dangerous Liaisons)
I actually haven't seen the movie, which is probably a good thing because it allows me to have a totally different interpretation. I mean I know the storyline, it's famous, but the actual details I don't know which I actually quite like.

Lol... I think they enjoy insulting each other. Minerva is right – they are perfect for each other!
Response from bellarossi (Author of Dangerous Liaisons)
Well of course she's right. She's Minerva! Can't mess with the Scots. :D

Oh, that's perfect for Lucius!And I love the anonymous letters between Toby and Mary-Jane. It's fun that they have a similar sense of humor.
Response from bellarossi (Author of Dangerous Liaisons)
I like 'Toby' and 'Mary-Jane' a lot because they really are Severus and Hermione, stripped down to the bare essentials. I try hard to make them believable but the fact is that you can be a different person when the person you are talking to has no preconceptions about you. (We would know about that!) :)

Great start.I love a well written correspondence story.
Response from bellarossi (Author of Dangerous Liaisons)
Thanks! It's tough but lots of fun. I like the different approach to writing and there's lots of scope for humour.
