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. ;)

salvamea

so he did remember that he was not chivalric but the "caballiero della trista figura"!!!!left her all alone.grr.I must say, she really did pull herself toghether and gave them the unbelivable truth. If they don't belive, they just have to test it on their own. ok maybe would get hexed during.Of course Ginny saw what gave them finally way. Of course she knows now. Well, I found the wand oath a bit much, but on the other hand, it is important for them to keep it secret for some months.When would Ginny be released from the oath? when Hermione told it to???? someone else or to all the world?On the other hand... It is important for them to keep it a secret, but as I see with my spying little eye peeking through the potionsclassroomdoorkeyhole *breathe*, they appear to have little concern about how to really keep it secret, do they *gasp*?He is really for it, isn't he.Well he may have been used to celibacy, but since he had his Gloria he simply can't wait any longer for his Hermione.Need becomes greed.acing. can't walkoh, I almost pitied him. well, I fear he really needs the release. As does Hermione. But I was glad to read that she finally got his point of view in regards to secrecy and waiting is necessary etc.I am so curious about who you will give the "entrance" into this show.I am sure there must be someone. Please let it just be Mrs. Norris. Please.It would frighten them enought to be more careful, but anybody else would scare them off sex for the next few years. Please be polite.

Response from salvamea (Reviewer)

Liked the thing about McGonagall. Funny. helps cover a little more. And that you were kind to our lovely Blaise and gave him a new girl with the start of a New Year.I new you were generous. ahem. most of the time..

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

They have the classroom doored locked and silenced, but who is on the other side? You'll just have to wait and see. ;)Yes, the Wand Oath was a bit over the top, but she was a woman under pressure! :)I am now envisaging Luna going up to Snape:"Excuse me, Professor Snape.""Yes, Miss Lovegood.""I'd like you to kiss me.""To... what?""Kiss me.  Hermione told us you were 'one hell of a kisser.'  I didn't think you'd mind demonstrating.  It's in the interest of consistency, you see.  Hermione's opinion might be confounded by other factors. Perhaps she secretly admires you.  Or maybe your heroic deeds during the war have influenced her unduly.  I just thought it would be a good idea to provide confirmation of whether, in fact, you are that good...  Professor?  Professor!  Why are you running away?" 

Response from salvamea (Reviewer)

ok, if they locked it, then no one can have a look, I must have overread it, and thought, he just silenced the room. But then there will be nothing to hear on the other side of the door.Well, there will be some sort of witnessing, I know you.your continuing of the "test it yourself" with Luna and her subtle, scinetistic way of explanation is just priceless. made my day!! Thank you!Well, we hope that Blaise will not run away, will we...

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Snape is very clever.
His silencing spell only silences the room from within. ;)

Response from salvamea (Reviewer)

What?! getting house ready to sell?you are not planning to leave TPP?as if...how good that we can follow you wherever you choose to move.. muhaawww!!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

LOL. Don't panic.  We're subdividing our land and building out the back.  Not moving far at all! :)

Response from salvamea (Reviewer)

ah, sounds much better.and sounds like vast and enormous piece of land. wow

I would call foul on the short chapter. But then you left them naked or good enough. I cant find the energy to be anything but happy!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

*pouts* Hey, it was 3200 words; that's pretty generous for me.  Obviously I spoiled you with the last one. And of course, nekkid is always good!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Hang on, they were not nekkid... yet.

*thud*  <-- that's me, I just fell off the cliff.  Also, I don't seem to have an email from TPP telling me there's a new chapter, but I found you anyway ;)  GREAT Chapter :D

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Hmm, no idea why you didn't get the email. Don't know how that side of things works.  Thanks for the review! :)

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Want to send me your email so I can let you know when  I update?:)

Who

I just knew that there would be a new chapter up when I couldn't access it! Apparently TPP doesn't like my IP address now, and I have to look for updates on the public computers at the library. I have taken out more books in the last month than in the whole previous year, and that is saying a lot! (Or do I mean reading a lot?)As usual, another wonderful chapter! Great quick thinking Hermione, but I knew you would pull it off! And good for Ginny working it out, and then covering for them. The saddest thing about a new chapter is starting again with the wait for the next update. Sigh. How will I ever bear it?

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

LOL. Poor you.  Want to send me your email so I can let you know when  I update? :)

Thank the gods, Ms Sunny!!! if you hadn't had him - as *hard* as it was* to get up and move around his desk and press &  be captured - they are not the only ones who would've burst! *Squeeing* Merlin's beard! Could just *feel* his hardness--difficulty in walking - thank you - hehe! *something wonderfully wicked came* - more, more, more! (ps On a calmer note, loved everyone's responses - just knew Ginevra would figure it out, and very happy that Hermione has a girlfriend to share with!)

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Thanks, luv! :)

Love the fact Hermione got the drop on Ginny, Blasie's humor and Hermione's bravado hope it will last when everything finally comes out in the open. Great update.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Thanks! :)

Jinxie

Oooh, they're in for it now aren't they?Glad to see their cover went over so well and that Ginny finally figured it out.  I think it's a relief for Hermione to have someone close know what's going on.  Hope Luna works out for Blaise.Looking forward to seeing what happens next!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

They could be in trouble.  Not telling. ;)

It's funny what people will believe when they have preconceived notions.  Only Ginny, who's been somewhat on to Hermione for a while now, figured it all out.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Yes, the power of of everyone's fixed beliefs works in Hermione's favour. :)

 WELL WELL WELL! this just gets better with each chapter. :O) great story.

Okay, if Ginny is telling Harry to kiss him before his mother comes and checks on them, where has Lily been hiding for the past sixteen or seventeen years? *grin* And let's give Severus and Hermione a hand for all the innuendo. ^_^

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

LOL. Oops. Fixed it now, thanks. :)

This is NOT talking.  LOL.  Lots of fun, though!

They do have a problem with getting distracted, don't they? :)

Yay! *claps hands* I love a savvy Hermione. Way to throw people off the scent. Now, if only she'd learn to keep her hands to herself in public-ish places....Just wondering, though, though: What was Lily doing checking up on Harry and Gin? Even dead mums like to "cock-block"!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Good spotting. K and I both missed that. Fixed now, thanks! :)

I am so happy to get a new update to this wonderful story. Hermione pulled it of perfectly, when a lie wont be believed, tell them the truth they don't want to belive:-))Then ending to the chapter were percet, making me really wanting to read the next:-))

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Thanks! :)

Yea another chapter.  Hopefully the ending was not just a teaser.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Can say too much... ;)

Nice save on Hermione's part, but I can't imagine how they are going to keep things under wraps for the rest of the school year.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

With difficulty? ;)

magritte

They're in deep, and they still have a long way to go til Hermione's done with school! Hermione is really fun and silly with the boys (thinking of the exchange with George here) - I wonder how much of that is natural and how much is her trying to distract them & cover up what's really going on. Enjoying it! 

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

A bit of both. She knows by now how to lead them up the garden path! :)

Bettina

well, that went far better than it could have turned out. Excellent reactions from Hermione, and great that Severus can admit this! With Ginny in the loop, about which H should inform S and maybe also Blaize, they can divert nasty questions somewhat better, but there are still 6 months to go.  At the end of the chapter I was wondering, whether Scourgify! leaves any stains .

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

You have a point there. Just as well robes cover all manner of sins. :)

snitchette

I'm sure with two clever people such as them they'll manage to meet discreetly until the school ends. Maybe a few months detentions. *evil grin*

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Hard to be discreet at Hogwarts. Ghosts, house-elves, portraits... ;)

Wintersong

Oh my.  Can you pick a worst place to leave us hanging????  Was thrilled to find an update this morning.  Please don't leave us hanging here too long!

Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)

Hehe. The chapter just begged to be ended there. ;)
