I'm not yelling at you, but are you saying that Hermione named her kid Hogwart: The Unabridged History, by Hermione Weasley? Or that she didn't have a kid she was working on a book?

Why name the twins Remus and Sirius, not James and Sirius? And why, why, WHY give one of them the middle name Peter? And isn't Hogwarts: A History too old to have been written by a thirtysomething?

Well, recall that I'm a believer that Peter will redeem himself eventually. While I admit that the odds of Snape having written HaH are extremely slim, he IS the only other one who seems to know you can't Apparate on Hogwarts grounds (per PoA)...

Funny!  What a great plot twist.  I was going to say something about fathers needing to be with the mothers when they give birth, but then I was thinking babies, not books.  Hah!  You got me there, you sneaky thing...  Well done, and it all flowed nicely.

One of the best and most surprising mini fics I've ever read.  Thanks!

Well, once PoF is finished I'm calling a halt until HBP comes out, and since I have far less "feel" for what's going to happen, it will probably be quite a while before I start a new story, but who can predict the future? Maybe I'll encounter another venomous plot bunny.

Hah!  That was great; you really made me think that Hermione was having Snape's baby. 

Glad it wasn't so!

Thursday 3rd February 2005 07:04Birth (Author Response)

Having SNAPE'S baby?!!?

OK, no, my mind isn't twisted enough to consider that on my own, though now that you mention it I can see where that would come from...

But SNAPE?

:)  gently opened the bundle ... very nice.  Although I think I like Luna's entrance in your other fic more 

Good job

Luna's entrance is one of those moments I'd like on film; sadly I doubt I'll be that lucky.

Your sister's idea?  I can imagine what it's like to live in your house!

Well, we currently live several states apart, but still assemble the family for Christmas.

Actually, my sister is a far better writer than I - she's seriously working on publication.

Oh, also...

Seeing the confusion per a post below,  I think you mean "nom de plume."  In French a "nome" is someone who stritcly adheres to laws, and particularly religious laws (in English, a "nomist"). 

But it doesn't change the fact that that was the funniest line in the Fic. I really giggled at that.

Ah. Side-by-side Google does seem to confirm you're right. Thanks!

Ha! I really thought it was a childbirth. That was cute. And I adore the idea of Hermione writing her own history. Perfect.  

But I couldn't help but note the one detail of Remus Peter. Why Peter? I mean... it was basically Peter who killed Harry's Parents. I don't think he'd forgive him that or remember him by naming their child after him. Yeah, so just curious as to that point, though it's apropos to nothing.

I'll just point you to previous reviews and responses for the Peter question.

And another one fooled! YES!! :-)

The story was cute and I loved it but I only have one comment, why would Harry name one of his children after Peter Petigrew? This man betrayed his parents I would have thought that he would certainly not want to immortalize him but attaching his name to one of his children.  Other than that the story was cute.

As mentioned below, this started life as a happy but serious epilogue to another story, and that's where the names come from. More than that I will not say. :-)

Okay, very clever -- and very funny. And very Hermione. I do wonder, though, whether you meant to put in this possible typo:

"[...]he wrote Hogwarts: A History under a nome de plume" --?! I love the image that conjures up --  the gnome, sitting out in the garden with a red pointy hat on, writing his book...  Almost as funny as this story...

Wednesday 2nd February 2005 15:05Birth (Author Response)
Ah, I believe that that is the correct way to say 'pen name' in french. Not seeing a typo, even on careful re-examination...

Well done.  Good use of humour.  Very subtle.  I didn't begin to suspect anything until the mention of Snape.

Thanks for sharing

This is brilliant! At first, I was certain that the "birth" would be of Ron's first child, but with all the hints Ron was dropping I quickly decided I had guessed wrong.  Tell your sister I love her idea.  It's a very Hermione sort of thing to want to write the "truth" as she sees it, especially when she learned who the author of her favorite book really was.

By the way, I love the following sentiment from Harry.  Only a parent could think of such a thing:

Harry was glad that he had thought to cast a Silencing Charm in addition to the Sticking Charm Ginny had used to glue them to their chairs, or he was sure their ears would have suffered permanent damage by now.

I sometimes wish I could do the same to my three-year-old son who is as mischievous as Harry and Ginny's twins seem to be.

Great story! 

Wednesday 2nd February 2005 12:11Birth (Author Response)
I will pass that along to my sister - it would be just like him to leave out the house-elves, wouldn't it? And he IS the only other person at Hogwarts we know has read it (or at least, he knows you can't Apparate on Hogwarts grounds).

This started life as a possible epilogue to another story, but since that was supposed to be a relatively happy ending rather than a farce, you can see that things have changed a bit.
