Reviews for Hilltop Cottage
Oh, poor Severus He will probably think she freaked out and ran away from him after what happened last night.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
Yep. Spot on!
They are so adorable together. I am really enjoying this story.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
Adorable is one word - normal is another. It doens't all go smoothly.
Great chapter, can't wait to read the next one.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
You left a review for every chapter?? Thanks!!! lol... I will respond to each one, seeing as you made such an effort x
Ahhhhhhhh, so very worth the wait, neelix. It was definitely a sigh moment reunion. I've got all da butterflies going around in mah stomach.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
Butterflies?? Awesome! I love that feeling! More to come, too, I think!
I could see why she would get upset, but she does have to remember who she is talking to. I'm glad he was willing to stay.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
Exactly! lol... it will improve from here on in.
That went really well. I had the feeling that neither of them could hold out much longer. I'm glad they got the sort of talk out of the way.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
It's about time we had some fun with the story, I think!
You deserve a cookie for updating so regularly. Thank you!
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
Thanks for the cookie! Can I have fresh fruit salad next time?? Better for the love handles...
Response from wickedankh (Reviewer)
Haha. Its good to have something to grab onto, remember real women have curve (not the boney kind!). ;) Next time it'll a fruit salad. with honey and lemon juice.
You told us and told us that things would get better, and we refused to listen. This is better than I imagined. And it's not like something amazing and Earth-shattering happened, but the fact that they could just fall back into rhythm like that bodes well for the fact that they are truly meant to be together. I can't help but think that if it weren't for Donovan, they might not have patched things up so easily. And him spending the night has me so happy, but I hope they don't rush into things too quickly. Even though they are both on the same page about their relationship, they do still have things to iron out. But otherwise, you can bring on the sickly sweet romantic fluffiness. And lay it on thick!
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
Sweet romantic fluffiness coming up!There was no point making their reunion dramatic, because that's not the way it would happen with them. Theyv are so well matched and in tune with each other that a gentle declaration of intent over a chinese was enough. In my head, anyway!I think we're thinking along the same lines - you'll see what I mean with the next chapter :)
Oh, goodie, goodie, goodie a date , I can't wait to see how that turns out. They are so cute together.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
lol... they are, aren't they!
I love the evening they spent together, very interesting. Can't wait to see how they spend more evenings.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
aha.... it gets quite fun!
Men will never understand women's minds, and they should stop trying.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
NO!!!! lol... they should keep trying until they get it right!
Gads that was WAY TOO SHORT, what a Cliffe more soon :)
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
lol.. it was necessaryily short.
My neighbours must think I'm crazy. First I squealed (rather loudly) bacause of the update, then I clearly screamed when I read the end of this chapter. You're my heroe for making my dreams come true.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
lmao.. I love the idea of people calling the emergency services because of a screaming SSHG fan!
FINALLY!!!! I thought we'd never see our couple back together (well, we really did, but you made us suffer in the process). I like how Severus found out and how he handled it. I look forward to their "reunion"
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
lol... sufferage is good. It makes you appreciate the good stuff!
That was perfect. He wasn't cocky, just apologetic, and Hermione finally knows he was not so callous that he ignored his own offspring. Can't wait for more.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
Thanks! I want him to realise what he's lost in his own way and become a better person for it :)
Whew! I can rest a bit easier now that this is out of the way. I don't doubt for a minute that there will be some bumps in the road along the way, but the major misunderstanding is out in the open, and surely by now they have both realized that they do indeed need to be together.Harry handled the situation with Seveurs perfectly. What a good friend Hermione has! And friend or not, I think he truely feels bad for the situation in which Severus has found himself. I'm glad he stepped up to intervene.Looking forward to more, and I hope that it can be a nice calm reunion without too many sparks flying. Give them a break for a bit at least, will ya :)
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
There will be a bit of a break now, yes. They have a witch to cure, remember!
YESSSSS! *Jersey Shore Fist Pump*
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
lol... I have no idea what that is, but I hope it's a good thing!
Response from fuchsiasteerpike (Reviewer)
It's where you pump your fist in the air. The dude-bros on this show Jersey Shore kind of made it there own, so now for copyright purposes, I make sure to put the new proper title up. lol
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
Thanks for explaining! I'm british, so I have no clue.
YAY!! Harry is a good person. He overlooked all the bad history just to help Hermione and learned something new. I'm so glad Severus and Hermione are on the same page, finally. I can't wait to read the next bit.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
Thanks :) I'm glad Harry worked.. lol!
Oh dear. Poor things. Both of them.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
I know. Thank goodness for Harry and his handy plot intervention... :)

Harry Potter, The Boy Who Became A Plot Device.ROFL.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
lol... that's exactly what he is. I mean, lets face it, the books are all about Severus... :D
Finally the mystery is solved!! Hermione obviously didn't realize that Severus has no idea about Donovan, which is why she thinks he wants nothing to do with them. Thank the Gods for Harry having the foresight to go see Severus. I can't wait to see how Severus reacts when he finally reads the letter Hermione sent him. I'm so excited!!!! One bad thing is that this story takes forever to update from queue. I see the next chapter is there, but just the wait is brutal.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
Tell me about it - it's been at number one for a few days now, so should be up soon - I understand it's because the site is so popular, so I can't complain!
What a great story! You have done a masterful job with this tale and I cannot wait to read the rest.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
Thanks! I'm so pleased you like it - the next chapter is no.1 in the Q so should be up soon x
Oh my goodness, the suspense is killing me! What a wonderful story! I eagerly await the conclusion!
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
lol... next chapter is no 1 in the Q - there are 50 chapters total so I hope you're sitting comfortably!
I like it so far, can't wait to see what she has been putting off for 2 years.
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
I know! It's oging to be great to finally have everyone knowing the truth!
FINALLY!And after Severus gets hit in the face with the 2 X 4 that this letter will be........Oh, am I looking forward to THIS!Serious groveling-time about to come up, methinks!I have no complaints about your story other than that the chapters need to be about 3 times longer than they are! (grin)
Response from neelix (Author of Hilltop Cottage)
lol!!!You have no idea how hard it was to squeeze so much into each chapter - I did try to make them more meaty.
Response from countrymouse (Reviewer)
Oh, the "meat" is fine---I just have become so addicted to your story I've become a 'glutton' for more! :)
