Reviews for Hilltop Cottage
oh drat, just read the whole story, so far, in one sitting, and didn't realize I had hit the last chapter. :( hope there's an update coming soon. :)
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
How frustrating that is! Two chapters are in the Q!
OMG! I was right! I just hope her letter finds Minerva in a better health and Severus not too angry with the news. I think she was right to write him first, so he may have time to recover from the shock of the news before meeting with him. I'm also a bit sad there won't be another chapter just yet. I'm so curious about his first reaction to her letter.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
Next 2 chapters are in the queue xx
*big grin spreading on my face* A girl who is still vomiting 2 days after a night of debauchery is not just suffering from "food poisonning" as she puts it. I'd say she's pregnant *happy dance* Honestly I haven't considered that could occur but I'm glad you did.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
I have to get her home somehow, right??
Yeah. I'll bet she hears some news soon. Right about the time she hits her REM sleep, with Snape pounding on her door.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
lol... watch and see! Not sure he's going to be pounding on her door too soon, but maybe you're psychic!
Well this wasn't one of those instances where I would have noticed a missing chapter, but now that it is here, it definitely makes the next one not seem so abrupt. I'm glad she can have some fun, despite the fact that she is hung up on Severus. Why would I not be surprised if Severus is renting Hilltop Cottage just so that noone else can live in "their place."
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
oooh, check you out with your psychic vibes!
Oooooh, okay, that makes sense now, the missing chapter.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
aha - yes, So sorry :(

Not to fret, m'chere, to err is human.
Ahhhh! It says on the home page that chapter twenty-seven is up, but I can't see it! Petulant Poetess, you liiiied to me! Lied! ... Lovely chapter though, dear.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
There was an error - mine! In the posting I forgot chapter 25! 27 in the queue now...
Ah, that does make a bit more sense.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
so sorry - I can't believe I made such a schoolboy error!
Oooh, Hermione pregnant!!!! What a way for her to reunite with Severus. I can't wait to find out his reaction. I hope he's happy, in that it will give him a chance to make things up to Hermione. I think she was smart to write Minerva first. If anyone can help Severus keep a cool head, it's her.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
Let's hope so eh?... watch this space..
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Down fangirl... down!! Oh wow... you know, I really wasn't expecting this. I know they had talked about it a few times, but since it was never really a major subject, I kind of tossed it aside that it would never happen. I felt sure that with her moving away that you wouldn't approach this angle... but I'm thrilled that you did. Her letter to Severus was heartbreaking! It was simple, yet it held so much. I dearly hope that he wants to be in his child's life, and be with the both of them. I see the tiny light of a happy ending in the future... hopefully...Great update! Can't wait to see Severus' (and Minerva's) reaction!
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
awww... I made you SQUEE... I am a happy author right now!
That was a fairly blunt letter.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
It had to be - she was passing on information. I guess the ball is in his court now!
That was way too short. Not sure Ive seen to many Hermione gets pregnant story. Hope they can work it all out. Looking forward to more.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
Sorry it was too short - it was pivitol to the plot - the chapters become more meaty in a while.
poor hermione...and poor severus too
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
I know... I can see clouds looming, and it's not Volcanic Ash...
Oh great! She's pregnant... not the hpappiest of situaitons, but I can see things smoothing out eventually. BUT she's gone ahead and sent that first letter, which Severus will intercept as he's the headmaster, then he'll say... well, why didn't she tell me this? and he'll be all mad and... mad... and... stupid, right? Neelix, he needs a good kick. Send Luna in.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
She's putting her knickers on outside of her tights (pantyhose!) as I type...
omg! Can't wait for the next chapter! Snape will HAVE to grow up now, there's just nothing else for it.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
He's going to get some shock...
Oh, I wonder what she will think when Minerva does not respond? Well, I guess I don't know the timeframe here, maybe she is able to respond. I desperately want them to reunite and do things right this time, even if it means taking things slowly. What I'd hate to see happen, is for one or both of them to get together just for the sake of the baby. I also don't want them to be so pigheaded that he misses out on the pregnancy and/or birth. That would be regrettable for both parties. Maybe a third party who is more sensible than either of those two will intervene (ummm Luna, this is your queue to interfere. Please.) Anxiously waiting for more, as always
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
lol... Believe me, it gets more complicated than you can imagine!
looking forward to the next chapter :)
Ah, he's really buggered it all up, hasn't he? At least he figured that little tidbit out. Hopefully they can work this out.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
He's a bit of a plank, but I think he needs to realise that trust is a two-way street!
gosh, heartbreaking...but a well written chapter
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
Thanks. I wanted you to feel their pain!
That was really sad. It exactly how my relationship with my boyfriend of 6 years is right now, except I'm more in Severus' place, but adding the accusations he threw at Hermione. I hope they can resolve this, because I'd hate to see them without each other. I know that's what I would want.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
I cried when I wrote it because it reminded me of something that happened to me too - I hope you weren't too upset by it and that your situation resolves itself happily x
You know, this doens't really surprise me. I was more or less prepared to their break-up. I think they need it, especiallt him, to understand how mush she counts for him and how miserable he'll be without her. I'm sure the make-up will be fantastic.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
Exactly! He's had it far too good...
Well... go and tell her. you idiot! ;)
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
lmao... yeh, let's try that ....
SEVERUS is such a knothead! LOL!!! Neelix please knock some sense into him! I cannot believe he acted like that, he is so insecure...Poor thing, Perhaps Hermione will come back..or perhaps she will teach him a lesson...I LOVE IT well done!!
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
lol... Thanks so much. And he is very damaged, the poor sod. Worry not - all will be well - eventually.
Arrgghh!! Why do they both have to be so damn stubborn!! He won't tell her that he loves her, when he knows he does and knows that she NEEDS to hear it! She won't let him see the truth of her words even when she knows that it's what he NEEDS to see!! Hello! Insecurities abound with this man! Pride will kill you, Hermione... or at least lose you the love of your life. Sorry for the rant... lol! A great update! I'm hoping this is going to lead them somewhere productive! Update soon!
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
Panic not - I love a happy ending. And you're right - it's not all down to Severus but at the same time, Hermione is right - I mean, in RL we can't see the other person's thoughts and actions, we have to trust their word, right? Same thing applies I think!
whoops - dumb move Severus
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
Wasn't it though...!
