i've been marathon-reading this and haven't stopped to review so far (sorry!!).  I LOVE YOUR RON!  thank you so much for writing a truly in-character ronald weasley :).

Wonderful story, captures the intricacy of a new, unexpected love between two people perfect for each other not to mention, it made me giggle.

Loved this story. The new friendships made with students from the other houses. A few surprise pairings that had me chortling. Just shows you answering an advert even in a muggle paper can change your life. Loved this from beginnning to its conclusion. Thanks for writing and sharing this with us.

Such a lovely story and a lovely happy ending!! I started reading this last week, I like to try & save a fic until its completed, the number of times I've got into a story and its never finished!! That's what I did with this one, and it was worth the wait! I loved every single chapter!! I see you've got a new story on the site, I'll try and resist but I'm not sure I'll be able to wait!! Thankyou for all your hard work and commitment 💓

I have to tell you how believable I find Hermione's act of putting out facts about Snape/Sidney on paper. I've done so myself once, evaluating a potetial love interest, jotting down pointers, and drawing actual graphs of possibilities and motivations. I did everything short of actually calcualting the probabilities of respective scenarios Well done! I love the picturizations!

It was a single hair. Long, brown, and curly. OMG!  Polyjuice, anyone?This story just gets better and better.Beth

“Oh, yes! Severusss!”  Did she really call out his name?  Dayum!  That was really lovely!!!!!My mother used to tell us the road to hell was paved with good intentions— right after we told her, "I meant tooooo..."Take a well deserved bow, sunny.  And here is a bouquet of the nicest flowers I can get my hands on.Beth

OMG!  These two are going to be the death of ME!!!

My head is spinning.  This is one of the hottest chapters I've ever read... and nobody touched anybody else. 

Silence reigned as, for the first time in all their years at Hogwarts, Professor Severus Snape stood without a single word and left the classroom.  Our Hermione is a force to be reckoned with!  Go for it, girl. 

Now I'm off to find out what they're to next.  *fans self* 

Beth

“If you must know, I spent all summer getting naked in front of a hot, older man. Happy?”LOL!  How very Slytherin of Hermione!!!  I love the "conversations" she has with herself.  :)Beth

“This will be our last session. I have enough to finish the paintings for the exhibition, and I believe it would be in both our interests to terminate our agreement today..."

If I hadn't already known they would see each other in a week, I would have broken out in heart-rending sobs.  As it is he will not recognize Hermione as Grace... but still...

...I'm such a romantic.  And I'm enjoying this immensely! 

Beth

lovely, as always

What am I doing? I can’t seem to help myself. It’s like I want him to give in to his baser urges.  That's what I hoping for, too!With oils and brushes he painted his unquenched desire onto the barren canvas of his life. Sunny, these few, simple words speak very eloquently to the man who is our Severus.Thank you for this wonderful and exquisite chapter.Beth

The paintings that Hermione saw in his private rooms really put a lump in my throat, and then I read Severus' own thoughts about them.  I knew then and there that there'd be more interesting scenarios than I could possibly imagine at this stage.  And I think Hermione's tatooe is going to play a big part in this tale before all is said and done.Well done!  Beth

Wow!  The Grangers are very open minded, aren't they?  Lucky Hermione!!!“The thing is, it’s complicated. Sidney Reilly is not just an ordinary artist...”   I wonder what her mum will say once she tells her that Sidney Reilly is actually Severus Snape?I gotta get to the next chapter now.  And I mean right NOW!!!Beth

The tension is palpable, and I can't help wondering if they won't just combust right there in front of God and everybody!I love that he created so many paintings and sketches from memory—her hands are very special to him.  Hermione's reaction to seeing herself on canvas the way he sees her was very touching.  And I hope they will be doing a bit more than that when they get back to the studio.Thank you for such a lovely and beautifully written chapter, sunny.Beth

It's been so wonderful reading this story. And I think Just over 2 years is not that bad, considering real life thrown in. Looking forward to more stories from you.

A lovely ending.  Thank you Sunny!  Yay Blaise and Luna!  Now I must reread the entire piece...  Joy!

Thank you so much for giving us a absolutely wonderful story. I have enjoyed every chapter, getting a notification about updates always made my day:-)) I do most sincerely hope you have more plots spinning around, ready to be put to paper and submitted to your avid fans to read:-))

Oh gods & goddesses! Often... yes.

~stands and applauds~ I'll really miss seeing this story in the updates... A bit like seeing a friend off at the airport.  But I know where it is so I can enjoy it all over agin :o)  Thanks for sharing your work.

Wonderful!!! Now, when can we expect your next effort? ^_~

I can't believe it's come to an end...I wondered if it would go on forever, each chapter coming out to make a traumatic part of my life just that little bit better.  I will miss reading new chapters and coming here to check on them, but I will definitely be coming back to read it again.  I have to say that this is one of my favourites; thank you for the world you created inside Rowling's.

It's like the end of an era ... Sigh.  This wrapped up perfectly.  These are two couple who I really ended up enjoying and wanted to see them get their happy endings.  Perfect.  So ... What's next from you?  *nudges you like the greedy little thing I've become*

Thank you for tying up those "loose ends" so delightfully! Two Exchanges?It didn't seem quite that long. Hhmph. Anyway, I'll truly miss seeing the notifications in my inbox.

This was a lovely story! I enjoyed it very much. Again you have taken the characters on a joyous expedition into love and new relations. I do like reading anything you write/have written!!
