Reviews for Hilltop Cottage
What a beautiful way of writing! I'm glad I found your story.

Hiya Crystal,I have to sa I'm overwhelmed that you have responded to every chapter! I'm on holiday presently so I don't have time to reply to each comment - I will attempt to answer some of them when I return. Many thanks.
Response from Crystal Quill (Reviewer)
Don't worry. Most of my comments are irrelevant anyway. I'm just letting you know what I think as I read.
Fun's a comin'!
yay!
*maniacal grin* I love Severus and his wicked mind. I'm sure that b*, hem Alicia, will remember to NOT mess with his happiness from now on. It serves her right.
ACK! How awful. Excellent chapter, though.
Ooh, how EVIL! She was so nice to Hermione earlier in the story. This is TERRIBLE. Poor things.
More intrigue! Excellent!
Good, I'm starting to believe things are really well again...But I haven't put my guard down, just in case you're planning for an unexpected twist.
I just read the whole story through. I couldn't stop & leave reviews after each chapter when I was too eager to find out what happened next. I have thoroughly enjoyed the journey through their slow build up, their misunderstandings, Snape's distrust and almost pathological jealousy, and now Alicia's underhand manipulations. Wow. What a ride! Thanks very much. I really don't want this one to end.
I still can't get over what an awful person Alicia is. I hope she gets what she deserves and then some. But I have faith in Severus. He knows what he could have lost with her games. He will surely not let her off easily.
I hope they get even with that horrible Alicia Maines, and help Minerva. I also hope there is an update soon, very soon. Great chapter.
Whoa. Does Alicia have a crush on *HERMIONE*?!
As I wrote earlier: Too good to be true. Has Severus learnt his lesson after all? Won't be ever become jealous again?
Oh, that vixin witch!!! And he believed her??!! He should be ashamed of himself.You warned me awhile back that this reunited thing would not be so easy. Now I know why.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
lol... Severus is a bit of a plank at times, but he's insecure and always doubting, you see. Not really his fault.
Geez, neelix, they just get together then you throw Alicia slutorama in their faces. And she's a sneaky little chit, too. Sigh... I hope they hex her good when they figure all this out.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
Oh, don't you worry - there was a reason Severus was placed in Slytherin!
that witch!! spelled with a B!! sewing the seeds of discontent. great update. thanks and many smoochies
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
I know, what a cow eh?
Really hate this part of the story, thank goodness I already read this entire story elsewhere. Nothing like throwing in a horrible chink in a happy story. Well written :)
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
shhhhh! Sorry you hated it - it was a necessary curve ball - you understand.
I knew there had to be stormy waters coming up (there always are, in life, whenever everthing seems to be going wonderfully), but this was so heartbreaking I had to leave it for a while after reading it and come back later to review.I know you'll make it all right in the end, but promise me the angst won't go on "too" long, and that you won't make them suffer "too" much (especially Severus, who has suffered enough)?I cannot wait to see what I know will be a WONDERFUL payback scene, with both Hermione and Severus getting to try out the combo of their best hexes on this two-faced little so-and-so.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
Well, personally I LOVE the payback scene, but I wil awaut your discerning judgement. I know what you mean about the emotional rollercoaster. It will be all over soon, panic not.
Wow. Some best friend Alicia is turning out to be! What a BITCH!
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
That about sums it up!
Some friend Alicia Maines turned out to be, she is so obviously after Severus, she makes me sick. I hope Severus and Hermione figure this out soon and together, I don't know if I can handle another breakup.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
Don't panic - they won't make the same mistake again. In fact, it might be a good thing...
Good grief Neelix! Could you please try to control your characters. They are just running amuk, wreaking havoc at every turn. You need to purchase three very short leashes. And while you have them on the leashes, I would be willing to turn a blind eye if you want to hook Alicia's to the bumper of your car *whistles innocently* Even though I'm hating this, I'm still loving it. Keep up the great work!
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
Thanks so much. I know, it feels like there is a curve ball at every turn, but I assure you, they have learned from the past. Or one of them has, anyway.
what an awful person that girl is turning out to be. i just want to slap her.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
A slap just isn't enough...!
I knew Alcia was up to no good. She is after Severus. I hope he doesn't believe her tripe about Hermione only wanting him for Donovan. Although, considering his vast insecurities, I have the feeling that's exactly what's going to happen. Either that, or he's going to allow himself to be trapped in a situation with Alicia that Hermione walks in on.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
Great theories! I love that you're thinking about the 'what if's'... The truth will out.
I LOVE all your work, but Alicia Maines, I think, deserves a bloody and drawn out death.....I suggest sticking bamboo splinters in all her soft spots, cutting her limbs off cm by cm and cauterizing the cuts, stripping the skin off her bit by bit, cutting off her eyelids and leaving her out on a hot day, ripping that smirk from her face, ripping open her body with a rusty spoon, strangling her with her intestines, and stuffing her heart in her lip-less, lying, mouth. That bitch deserves that and eternal suffering in Hell.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
OMG! Have you ever thought of writing a dark!fic? This could be the opening chapter! lol... thanks for feeling so strongly about a figment of my imagination. It's pure coincidence that she looks just like someone i went to school with...
Response from AntiqueDoll (Reviewer)
Haha All my friends tell me I'm weird because I look and act completely disarming and sweet (so they say) but I ruin that image by opening my mouth. Alicia is also the name of a girl I went to school with
Holy hell! And I thought she was supposed to be a great friend. Makes my tum turn a bit being reminded there are women in the world like this.
I really can't get enough of this story. Every turn, it's something new. Thanks!
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
Bless you - I'm so pleased you like it. Not far to travel now.
