Reviews for Making Happy
I don’t have the energy to ask what has driven his mood to seek solace in the Firewhisky. I know already, of course.Yes, Hermione. Please rub it in that you know what is going on and the rest of us are in the dark.And Harry is really no better:This is the child I would never have had if things had been different. That he would never have had. What would his life be now if he and Hermione hadn’t…?Hadn't what, Harry? By all means, continue to string us along. Was Hermione intending to have a baby for Severus and Harry, but somehow ended up staying with Severus? Were they even a couple at one time, or just wishful thinking? If yes, what made them split up? So many questions. I believe they have alluded to the fact that they are in the mess they are in for Harry's sake. He doesn't strke me as better off now.You must update soon. Write, write, write! If I haven't said, I like the way you've written this from all three perspectives. If you hadn't, I think it would be much harder to let us in on what is going on in everyone's head, but still be vague. I have a love/hate relationship with this story. The not knowing is painful, and the discovering bit by bit is delightful.
Response from neelix (Author of Making Happy)
Lol... i'm glad you love/hate it - so do I when I'm trying wtrite from the first person's prespective and get my tense wrong! It's certainly not the easiest story I've ever written but it's certainly making the brain work.Thanks for reading and taking the time to review xx
Oh dear! It seems my heart goes out to every single person in this chapter. The fear of finding out that your child has been injured and is in the hospital has got to be one of the worst feelings in the world. Severus and Hermione are far more calm than I'd be and even they aren't taking it all that well.Harry is in a difficult position of trying to seperate his personal and professional feelings toward Severus, Hermione, and Happy. When she told him she knew he was Uncle Harry, it sent him into a momentary tailspin. Kids don't miss much, that's for sure.As for Ron ... it is really poor form to be in charge of your friends child and have them end up in a hospital bed. Still, we don't know the story so I will reserve judgement. He is probably so nervous about Happy's health and the wrath of Hermione and Severus that he is too frazzled to come up with much more than the story of Voldemort. And it probably seems like an exciting story that a child would enjoy. Ron can't always look at the big picture.Off to see what's next ...

The problem with hiding from things is the eventually they implode and you can't escape at all.Thanks for the feedback - I find it very interesting :)
I'm really loving this new tale of yours. Writing from each person's perspective can be very tricky, but this is working well. The hints of back story and secrets are tantalising, and keep me hooked. Who cares if Snape and Harry ever get back together, I'm just enjoying this journey. And, congratulations to you on becoming a validated author. Well done and well earned. Now you'll be able to update as quickly as you write it (no pressure or anything.)
Response from neelix (Author of Making Happy)
No pressure, eh? We'll see! Thank you for the very kind review. next chapter is about to go up, so please let me know your thoughts.
I'm getting more and more curious about what went horribly wrong and how everything will unscramble itself
Response from neelix (Author of Making Happy)
Aha... it's a tangled web. Thanks for reading x
oh my goodness. I'm struck silent.Thank you for sharing~

There has to be a bit of drama to bring everyone together! Don't panic x
I didn't expect her to be so badly injured. I'm hoping she'll survive. And I thought she was Harry's daughter but now I wonder if she could be Hermione's and how it happened. And above everything I pray the Gods you can continue to update regularly.
Response from neelix (Author of Making Happy)
Luckily I'm now able to bypass the queue system so I aim to update regularly, until the story is complete. I am still in the process of writing, however.
It's worse than I thought. I really, really hope she'll be okay. And I hope that Sev will change his mind and tell everything to Harry and put them both out of their respective misery.
Response from neelix (Author of Making Happy)
Mmm... I really do wish it would be that simple, you know. Easier to write, anyway!
I just knew it!!! He's gonna meet his daughter, how sweet. Let's just hope she isn't too badly hurt. And Ron will hear a piece of Harry's mind, to. Next chapter will be a delight.
Response from neelix (Author of Making Happy)
Oh dear...I have to put you out of your misery. Happy is most definately Hermione's child.Sorry!
And that's how he's going to meet little Happy, his unknown daughter... *big toothy grin*.
Response from neelix (Author of Making Happy)
Lol... you have a very vivid imagination. You should write the story you're thinking of!
I think if my suspicions are correct (that Happy is not Hermione's daughter) I'm going to love this. And as I didn't expect you to update so quickly I won't have too long to wait to discover it.
Response from neelix (Author of Making Happy)
That's a really interesting theory. Obviously I'm not saying anything here. Keep reading, and thank you for the review :)
Having enjoyed your other stories, I'm finding this to be very well written. You're doing things a bit differently by trickling information to us, little by little. I'm eagerly awaiting more. Good job!!
Response from neelix (Author of Making Happy)
Thank you very much :) It's a different way of writing and I wanted to challenge myself. It seems to work so far!
Oh, this is really different, and I love it. You are so good at peeling back the layers! I am hooked; I can only hope it keeps coming. Beautifully written as well as a subtly revealed plot so far.
Response from neelix (Author of Making Happy)
Thank you so much, I am glad you're enjoying it. I needed to challenge myself and this is the result :)
I am getting more and more intrigued by each chapter, I am really looking forward to read more.
Response from neelix (Author of Making Happy)
I'm so glad you're reading my little story :) I hope you enjoy the rest x
Aughhh! *pulling at hair* I have so many questions, but it would not only be impolite to spurt them out here, but also rude to be so impatient...sorry. *sighs, shoulders down, along with eyes* I'll try to be more... well, uh...patient. Yes! That's it. More patient.Thank you for sharing~
Response from neelix (Author of Making Happy)
By the way, it's absolutely wonderful, and I am enjoying every wonderful plot twist.
Response from neelix (Author of Making Happy)
Bless you for being so enthusiatic :) Thanks for reading. I've just finished chapter 5 so it will be up this week sometime.
Uh oh....Cliffy...*giggle* Good for you.Thank you again for sharing. I'll wait patiently, won't even hold my breath or stamp my feet. Promise!again,thanks~

Response from neelix (Author of Making Happy)
lol... Oh, I know how frustrating is can be waiting for the next chapter. Hang in there...
Oh..I think the children would be good for him. I will continue on to figure how this came to be. Very intriguing.Thank you so much~

It's a complicated tale! Thanks for reading x
Interesting setup, I'm also not in the Snarry camp, but I can hang my disbelief on a hook for a good yarn. I'm curious to find out what is going on and how they wound up here.
Response from neelix (Author of Making Happy)
Thanks - I hope you enjoy it.
wow, i am loving this fic!it's nice to see harry in a different place post-DHi'm curious to see what happened to create such a relationship between Harry, Hermione and Snape... more please! =)
Response from neelix (Author of Making Happy)
There will be some insight into the past in about two chapters time, and hopefully some answers will come from there. It does go off to the left a little bit so I hope you stick with it :) Thank you so much for reading x
Well now we are moving right along. Is anyone being true to themselves here? I wonder what purpose Happy serves? Is she all part of a grand illusion they are trying to create? Harry seems better in this chapter. Hopefully it isn't fleeting.I am truly looking forward to more, more, more.
Response from neelix (Author of Making Happy)
I received a wonderful email this morning from the lovely moderator who reads through my chapters. I'm now. Validated author here at The Petulant Poetess which means my chapters no longer wait in the queue! How exciting is that?
I'll post more later. And I'd better get writing too! Pressure is on now :)
Thanks for reading x
Response from HBAR (Reviewer)
Congrats to you! Validated author status is a big deal. I'll try to pretend that 100% of my excitement stems from being proud of your achievement, and 0% because I don't have to wait so long for your chapters. I don't know if you'll believe that though :)
You are the queen of giving lots of information and clearing up nothing, LOL. I love daddies and their little girls and you have a sweet pair here. I hope that something will pull Harry out of his funk. Maybe a change in scenery at work will do him some good. Off to find out ...
Response from neelix (Author of Making Happy)
You must be psychic!! Lol...
Think I've said enough. Thankyou for being loyal to my writing x
I liked this--a bit of a tease leaving out what happened. I like the first person voice of Harry and Hermione, but I think Severus needs to be a bit more sharp-tongued with a broader and more sophisticated vocabulary than what you have revealed so far.
Looking forward to more.
Response from neelix (Author of Making Happy)
Thanks for the constructive critisism. He does become more Severus-like later on, but when he's with his family, the sharp edges will be less visible.
oh..sad. *sigh*Looking forward to more. Thank you for sharing~

Thanks for reading, I hope you stick around for the rest :)
UHUMMM OK I DONT READ "SNARRYS" SO SO I'LL GO OVER AND SITIN THE CORNER AND BE QUITE.
Response from neelix (Author of Making Happy)
That's fine. The story is posted under Forbidden Forest, so there's a clue right there!
Response from PHONELADY (Reviewer)
YOUR SO RUGHT I SLEPT THAT MY FAULT BUT YOU STILL ON MY FAV LIST!
Response from neelix (Author of Making Happy)
You're very kind. Why don't you read it anyway? You never know!
My first exposure to Snarry was by a very talented and complex writer. As such, I came to really enjoy the pairing. From what I have read in your first chapter, I think I'm really going to enjoy your story as well. I'll buckle my seat belt and get ready for the ride.
Response from neelix (Author of Making Happy)
I really hope I don't disappoint!
Thanks for reading x
Hmm.... a Snarry, not really my cup of tea as I am mostly interested in Hermione`s part in this more than anything. That said, this is a very intriguing beginning, and very well written. Thank you.
Response from neelix (Author of Making Happy)
I know what you mean. I've only recently got into Snarry and this is my first attempt at writing one - Hermione is there throught if you want to stay tuned.
