Brilliant! I feel like I'm learning things when I read your story. I definitely enjoy reading the author's notes and learning a bit more about the pieces of art mentioned in the story.

Thanks for writing!

Draco seems to be willing to help her, not degrade her. It's nice to see a mature, fiscally savvy Draco.

wonderful and touching. I cried for Hermione up top. Draco is so mysterious and I can't help but grin at the lengths he's gone to ensnare a this lioness. My oh my -- she really has no clue and it makes is all the more delicious.

never ever ever apologize for the lengths of your chapters, they are exactly the size of what they should be for you. you've obviously taken great pains to craft a wonderful story for us. brava. I await the next installment with shivering anticipation.

best lines:
She had stripped naked and posed for Draco Malfoy.
The worst part of it all was that he didn’t run away screaming or laugh in her face as she had half feared. He had been nice.

All of her successes and accomplishments seemed to dissipate into thin air in one single moment.
She couldn’t fool herself into thinking that Malfoy would give her any influence as assistant director. She was being demoted into a secretary for him. He would make all the decisions and he would run the museum to the ground.

“You took away my job and my dignity. I am leaving with whatever little pride I have left.”
“It’s always down to your Gryffindor pride, isn’t it?” He asked quietly.

(Er - what's wrong with pride?)

“I am not your puppet. I am not a brainless and spineless sycophant. I may not be the executive director in name but I do not plan to change my ways and the way I run this museum. I am not your secretary. If you need an assistant, you can hire one.”

(that's more like it!)

“Are you really going to make me move offices?”
“I was simply teasing,” he smiled before leaning forward, “I will take the office next door"

You are an amazing curator, Granger. I’ve seen all of your shows and they’re absolutely brilliant but part of being executive director is being a good businessman. It’s not all about the art anymore, as much as you might hate for me to say it but it is true.

(I have worked in the museum world, so I know how true this is...)

“I am not here to appease the wealthy.”
“You’re not but nevertheless it is something that must be done.

(There's no royal road to knowledge, but you can get royalty to pay for thinking they are on one.)

She nodded silently before looking back down at the file she had in her hands. For the first time in her life, she was silently grateful for his presence, influence, wealth, and background.

(It sounds like Draco and Hermione can make a good team - he has some innovative ideas, she has the ability to execute. There's a parallel couple a century earlier. They discovered X Rays and got the Nobel Prize for it.)

(It would be nice if Hermione had more friends to talk to. Not just that Ginny girl. And who's Draco's confidant?)

More art instruction would be welcomed. I had not heard of the Zong Massacre till ten minutes ago, and I thank you for setting that path to knowledge in motion.

best lines:
“Is that a David on your ceiling?” Hermione knew that she should probably shut her mouth and stop gaping but she couldn’t help but be taken aback at the absolute beauty that the man possessed. He stretched and flexed his back and legs, seemingly unaware of his raw sexuality.

I feel as if I’d be breaking your little heart if I were to reveal more secrets about wizarding painting that you failed to read about in your books.”

“It certainly is unconventional but it’s provocative.”
“Was that a compliment, Granger?”
“Don’t flatter yourself, Malfoy.”

She was slightly annoyed at how quickly he seemed to have recovered from his antic while she was still panting like an idiot, trying her best to calm her heartbeat.

...her brown hair falling over her back in a tumble of waves. She could’ve sworn she heard a sharp intake of breath but thought nothing of it.

She needed a distraction.
Her ears perked up when she heard the soft piano music flow throughout the room and Hermione smiled slightly, knowing that he couldn’t see it anyway. She whispered a quiet “thank you”.

Worst lines:

“He didn’t,” he said smoothly, “It was done as a personal favor.”
“What?” Hermione’s eyes went wide, “You knew David?” She nearly snorted before shaking her head, “Do you take me for a fool, Malfoy? David died in the 1820s.”

(It seems odd that Hermione would be that dense. Surely she would have jumped easily to the conclusion that if Draco was telling the truth, an ancestor or time turner would have been involved? Then again, I suppose you are merely showing how flustered she is.)

“Are you implying that my forefather was a homosexual?”
“It’s a possibility,” her tone was light, her eyes bright with laughter...
“It seems to me, dear Ms. Granger, that you are questioning the masculinity of the Malfoy line, both past and present.

(I do hope Draco is merely using this as an excuse to touch Hermione and not actually saying that being gay makes you less masculine.)

Well. This story has potential. Then again, it is *you* writing it, so I should endeavour to not look surprised. I did enjoy your first story a great deal.

best lines:

She had handed Caius and Aldous the contract, smiling inwardly when she saw their cool facades crack when they realized just who was sponsoring the museum from now on. Malfoy would certainly have a pleasant crowd to try to convince whenever he decided to meet with them.

Why would her parents want to travel so far just to waste their hours away at such a meaningless task? Give her a good book and she would be content.

She fell in love with it the instant she laid her eyes on it. It was so rough, passionate, heart-breaking, sad, emotional, and all-together captivating. She remembered standing up, the forgotten book falling onto the bench as she slowly walked towards the painting as if any noise would scare it away.

During her Hogwarts years, she had secretly studied the history of magical and non-magical art in her spare time between classes.

Muggle painting was beautiful. Hermione supposed that she was a bit biased but she was a firm believer that the innate fact that muggle canvases could not move put them to a large disadvantage.

Without the use of magic, Turner managed to mesmerize a ten-year-old child into loving art, weaving his story with the careful use of reds, oranges, yellows, and whites while never forgetting the traumatic incident and history behind what it depicted. Turner created something so heartbreakingly beautiful and all he used was a paintbrush. Not a wand.

He had just found out from hushed whispers that the board was planning to shut the museum down. He had come to her office with the intention of warning her and offering her the money

she looked peaceful, completely unbothered by the outside world and the stresses of her job, past, heritage, and the many expectations that were demanded of her. In that moment, she was simply Hermione.

He actually found himself appreciating a quiet life and it wasn’t until he saw Hermione Granger that night that he decided he would throw it all away and take it all back if he could just touch her. Just once.

I am just waiting for the shoe to drop: Malfoy got the job by threatening to show Hermione's painting...or something equally as painful for her. :D

I love this chapter!!!! I'm sure she will most certainly fall in love with the wealthy, intelligent, powerful, handsome Draco Malfoy. I hope he asks her to be his date for the Fete Galante.

Wonderful, so far. I can't wait to see what happens next. Is there any way to actually make a link within the text? I have a difficult time with the cutting and pasting, lots of times. :D

I wanted to wait until I'd read all the chapters that were up but I couldn't help myself. What a lovely and unique plot premise. I love stories wherein I also end up learning a bit, and art history was never a subject I had time for in college and law school. Can't wait for the rest of the story. :D
