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. ;)

Somebody bought them? Oh noes!

Oh, yes! :0

Loved the chapter, but it seemed too short. Methinks that Blaise will give them to them as a wedding present.  Hope your Christmas was happy, and your New year is Merry.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

It was short!  But it needed to end where it did. :) Happy New Year.

AAAAHHHH! Who was calling her?  I bet Blaise bought them all and has them hung in a closet somewhere (so he doesn't have to share).  I haven't read your story for a while & was thrilled to find several chapters.  However, there are no more chapters for the time being so I will eagerly await your update :)

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Thanks.  Funnily enough, I thought it was obvious who was calling her, but as you aren't sure I'm keeping my lips sealed. hehe!:)

Another complication that I had not foreseen. Will Severus visit her at home? Will he hear about Blaize there... oh, no!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Can't say... ;)

I hate miscommunication. I just hope he will write to her to explain. Or that the present contains an engagement ring *wink*

LOL anything is possible... ;)

Anothere excellent chapter but very frustrating....how long will you drag this estrangment out.  It's getting tedious.  This Christmas night I was so excited to see somthing new....Sunny it really has been very enjoyable peice of writting, I look forward to more. Soon I hope.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

I hope you continue to enjoy it despite the frustration.  I do have a set plan for them.  :)

Well, when Snape ran off, I never expected this to be the reason.  Heads are going to roll it seems.  But did it not occur to him that they would sell?  Was he just so consumed with everything else that small detail had slipped his mind?  If he never intended to sell them, was he going to have them all hanging in his house?  That is a lot of Grace Henman on your walls.  A good conversation piece, I suppose.And if I didn't love Blaise enough all ready, you have to go and give him a tragic family story.  I just want to scoop him up and hug the hell out of him.  I mean, that's not all I'd do, but it's Christmas so I'll be PG about it.As for Hermione, she'll get over it.  She always does.  Perhaps Blaise bought them as a gift to the couple with all of his mom's widow money.  Oh wouldn't it be funny if someone like Arthur Weasley bought them, and then Hermione showed up for Sunday dinner at the Burrow and there was her you-know-what hanging on the wall, LOL.Can't wait to see what actually happens.  I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!  Thanks for such a lovely gift.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

LOL re Arthur.  Can't see Molly allowing it though.  Severus always knew the paintings would be sold, but he's become so emotionally invested in those particular two that he overreacted. :)

Thankyou SO much for the Christmas Eve update!  I waited until I'd finished all my wrapping and then read it as a treat.  So thankyou!  I really want to read more! 

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Thanks.  I wanted it to coincide with the story's timeline. :)

Christmas came early from Sunny!  Thank you for the holiday update.  Not so evil this time, but who bought the paintings?..........

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

I tried not to make it a cliffie this time. :)

She's overreacting a bit, but who can blame her with Severus being all aloof and stuff.  Merry Christmas, Sunny!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

She's a bit on edge at the moment.  Still, she'll figure it out. Merry Xmas, Deb. :)

My mom always let me open one Xmas present on Xmas Eve, now that I am older I no longer have that luxury until today... Thank You for my early Xmas present.  This story just breaks my heart bit by bit, I can only hope that he will see reason and put a stop to his nonsense.  I certainly hope Blaise is the one who purchased the paintings and will return them once he realizes how upset they both are.  Hopefully Severus will follow Hermione and explain to her that he did not want them being sold.  I'm curious to find out what they gave each for Xmas.  I hope we will get another chapter before the New Year.  Have a wonderful holiday  :-)

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Thank you.  Have a great time yourself. :)

Finallly! A cliffie which gave me a laugh rather than a groan.My head is shaking  at the moment. How misunderstandings breed when we don't stop to ask more questions. Good to see Hermione is just as guilty of it as Severus. Are either likely to learn that lesson any time soon? (Lord, but these two deserve each other!)And, of course, poor Blaise! That inviation is stil open, you know. I'd be happy to be his anti-despair angel very special friend new, improved mum at Christmas. (tee hee) He's a man any woman could be proud of, isn't he?Happy holidays, Sunny33. Fun (sorry, this time I even giggled at the angsty bit at the end), lovely chapter, all in all.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

LOL.  Love that you found it funny! :)

Merry Christmas to you & yours as well! Lovely chapter- Hermione is truly in sympathy with Blaise; and Blaise does seem to not be unable to stay away from her, and needing a dose of Hermione to keep him going underneath his Slytherin cool... hmm... if he is the purchaser of the pictures, this is going to get quite painful for all involved- especially Hermione being caught between two obssessive, possessive Slytherins! Love it!!!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Hmm, could be fun! :)

I am so happy to see the update, wonderfully written as usual:-)) However, your lovely couple are a couple of slow-acting, slow-thinking idiots at times. I would love to smack their otherwise smart and attractive heads together and tell them to get  a grip. I bet that Blaise bougth the two paintings? Not sure if that was a smart move from his side if he did. it would only build up on his pining for someone who loves another, not to mention that when/if he finds his special someone, the poor girl should not have to look at nude paintings of her boyfriends first, intense, love. Then again, you migth surprise me, you have done so before:-) I am as always looking forward to read more.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

LOL.  They do need a good slapping, don't they? :)

Uh oh, a misunderstanding.  Dare I hope this will actually lead to a conversation? ~crosses fingers and eagerly awaits next chapter~

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Mebbe.  Can't say too much! ;)

Merry Christmas, Sunny. This is such a good story. I never get tired of wondering where your twists and turns are going to lead next.

It was a nice Christmas present this chapter... How about we celebrate Boxing Day with a new one? These cliffhangers are killing me!!!! ;)I love your story, even if I don't always review... I hope you have a plan because I sure don't see where this is going, lol...Merry Christmas to you and don't forget my christmas wish!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

LOL.  There's been a plan right from the beginning.  Boxing Day might be a little hopeful, but I have a few days off work now. ;) Merry Xmas!
