Hi Janie!
Sheeesh it's been too long and I feel bad, I've been so terrible with keeping in touch or reviewing lately. Not much time of course but even when I do, nothing comes out. I think I just got so out of the habit when I was off line that its going to take a while to get it back, so even though I have no time today (of course) I thought I better write something.
Going to be back in school next Mon. taking an advanced course in GIS should be interesting. Went to 2 Shakesphere plays 12th night and Comedy of errors [done pirate style  ]
Just got back from Las Vegas for our semi annual trade show, lot of work, some fun and drinking and pillow fights.
We are watching our neighbors cat, and the Piggies need food so I should probable go, sorry this was so short, hope all is well with you and yours, and this long silence is just because you've been too busy to write more of your lovely lovely story, I really will have to reread it when the next chapter comes out, not that that is a bad thing
Any way take much care, can't wait to hear from you and or get more Sorcerous nookie!
Hugs and cheers

Hey what's up Doc?
JanieB how are you.
Why are not contine this wonderful story of yours?
I been looking for months.
what's the deal or is it no deal?
What happen ?
I been looking forword to the next chapter for a long,long,long,long,long time here.
please please please please please please.
Put up the next chapter.
when is it going to end?
But till then so long.
Looney Warner Mouse " Portkey can you say good by to the folks please that is on the net for me please"
Portkey Pig " yeah I will so long- ever bbb so long bbb tha tha tha tha that's all folks! ha ha "
Now as for me Looney Warner Mouse " Good night and good luck ha ha ha "  input sondtrack for Looney Tunes. fade out to black and then end trmisson. |
Author Feedback: Hello there little Portkey Pig!  No longer "Anonymous"? Looney Warner Mouse is much funnier!
OK, about the story...I'm really sorry it's been so long - it's not because I don't want to write more, believe me, it's just that the last couple of months I've had hardly any free time and I'm now at the point where I'll have to review all my notes and do a fair bit of re-reading before I can finish the next chapter (which is nearly half written) and I just can't bring myself to just post any old thing just for the sake of posting - I have high standards and I'm a little obsessive/compulsive about getting things right! But I will be finishing my story, never fear! I'm almost afraid to mention a time frame because every time I do, something pops up to blow it away!  Keep one little Looney Mouse eye out though because one day, when you least expect it, the next chapter will appear... 
So glad you haven't yet given up on "Nook" - "see" you soon!
Cheers,
Janie |

Author Feedback: Hi Timbo!
"Quickies" seem to the flavour of the month with everyone at the moment - I did reply to your email but I know you don't often get to check it - no worries! While you're off on your tour, I'll get back to "Nook" (fingers crossed) - look forward to hearing about the trip (passing any vineyards on this one?  )
Till (hopefully!) soon!
Ciao ciao!

Please psot another chapter, its been months !!!!! I can beta if needed........ |
Author Feedback: Hi there! I know it's been months since my last post - I'm really sorry! I haven't abandoned my story, don't worry - I've never done that and I'm not about to start. I've had to take a bit of a break, but I will be back, I promise. And thank you so much for your very generous offer to beta, however, I already have one (and I'm probably biased, but I think she's the best one ever). Please be patient - I will be posting again and I hope to "see" you then!
Cheers,

Gees Janie my dear, it's been way, WAAAAAAAAY too long.  How are you? Everything is ok here, if a bit busy and stressful. And my compter keeps dieing, I haven't been able to look at my E-mail for weeks. [sneaking at work, I am] so I can't write for too long, but just hoping all is well.
Crap should run, would love to hear from you and wondering about the next chapter.
Take care.
Tim |
Author Feedback: Hi Timbo!!!!!
Everything is okay hereto - but stupidly busy!!! (drives me nuts!!) Everyone seems to be in the same boat at the moment. And WHAT a pain - dying computer!!!
I actually kept sneaking time last week to re-read "Nook" because it's been so long since I wrote any that I needed to refresh my memory! I've written about a third to a half of the next chapter - but that was so long ago now I can't remember how long
I think it's going to be at least another two weeks before I get organised enough so that I've time again for writing (I miss it desperately!!!)
Anyways, have to dash - another full weekend (haven't had a free weekend since about the end of January/beginning of February!!  ) and it's ANZAC Day today - big national holiday here in Oz. Okey dokes - hope things settle down soon for you too Capt'n! Take care, cheers and ciao, Janie |

Hi Janie,
You sure are evil!!!  Might I suggest that the next chapter should start with:
"Chapter 24 - In which Janie is trapped in a room with Umbridge writing 'I must not tell lies' because she stated 'You won't believe what comes out of that meeting' in Chap 23 title but in fact, the meeting never actually starts in that chapter."
 Still a very nice chapter. The funeral for Colin was very well done and the look given between Hermione and Ginny. Wow.. Nothing was said but it was a very very powerful moment. The moment when Ginny finally realizes and accepts that her relationship is over. Very well done...
Not sure what to think about both Dennis and Ginny going with Ron. From the last creepy interlude with all of the satanic worshipping, the Dark one seems hell bent on killing Ginny. I believe he still thinks that Harry loves her since he referred to her as a 'blood traitor'. They really need to get up to date. Maybe one of his disciples should read the latest Harmony blog.  Might be kind of dangerous for her and I am not sure I will be able to forgive you if you kill Ginny.
I kind of feel sorry for Dean. I sure he must feel like everyone is talking about him as if he was not even in the room.  Verity and Emrys are so confusing. I can't wait for the next chapter so that we finally figure out their story. Dean's father still alive?? Was in a coma in some Muggle hospital somewhere?? Was he a painting which was just recently destoryed somehow?? So many questions.. Really looking forward to reading the next chapter. |

Hi Janie,
Two chapters in one day!!! A very touching scene with Harry and Hermione taking their stroll and remembering everything from the faithful day at the fair. The depth of their relationship is already their even though they have only been together for a few days. The way you describe the wizarding world makes it feel sooo peaceful and quaint. A world lost in time and protected from the ugliness that exists in the real world. Very well done..
Hermione sure has become naughty!!!  Are we ever going to see 'Sensible' Hermione again in this story or has been completely gobbled up by 'teasing' and 'suggestive' Hermione??
You know, I have to say that I don't like canon Colin too much. I always thought he was annoying but you have managed to make me even care for him. It was soo shocking when he was killed. Seemed so innocent. Just bumped into someone and then suddenly he was gone. I feel bad for Ron because it was suppose to be him. The Dark One sure is evil. It will be very interesting when he finally comes out into the open and the battle finally happens. And those interludes!!! Oh boy.. how you can just switch from H/Hr taking a walk down a peaceful town to devil worshipping in a cave and one of most creepy scenes ever. Wow... you are truly a talented writer.
Dean is still very interesting. I could just feel Hermione's fustration.  She really wanted Dean to say, 'Oh let's take a look at the other memories that you can't see..' I am glad that Harry was there. I am still wondering how he is going to fit into all this. Does he have to finally defeat the Dark One? Is it his destiny to do so? hmmm.... Great chapter Janie!!! You are just too cool!! |

Hi Janie,
Finally found the time to read and review a chapter!!!  So our favorite couple is now finally 'officially' together. Can't say they are just feeling out the situation anymore since they have already been together twice. The scenes were very tastefully done. I really liked how you had Hermione return the 'I Love You' at the end of the chapter. Very nice touch and a very tender moment. In a way, it still feels they are moving a bit fast. Harry's break-up with Ginny was only a week ago and they are already together. At the same time, it feels like it has taken forever for them get together so I like the balance.
Once again, Dean is just too cool. The side characters are so well done in your story. Harry and Hermione are still the main characters but the way you have written your story, everyone has a chance to shine. Everyone is just so grown up which is what you would expect from a group of 20-something wizards and witches. |

That wasn't a "bad" cliff hanger! Bad cliff hangers are where Harry is on the edge of death or something. Anyway, good chapter. I look forward to reading the next one. |
| |

Yay for good weeks! Those are awesome. Guh, your writing of the funeral was gorgeous. Really truly. Hah! Luna is beyond charming, you should write a Luna centric fic, she's too fun. Ah, poor Hedwig, bearer of bad news. Oh come on! I want to know everything in the book! OH NO! It was Dean's father that died? Oh I wasn't expecting that somehow.
Oh fine. No strangling. But you're killing me! What a cliff hanger, come on!! Fantastic chapter. |

Well here I am again; sorry about missing a review on 22, but I was too busy trying to sort out who might be the current 1st disciple, why he (or she) wants Ron Weasley disposed of and who the lurker really wants.
I'm still working things out so I won't even make a speculative guess.
More clues as to your eventual destination now the book has a Riley to read it.
Now I'm waiting for 24 and the story which you are holding in suspense as to where Dean's father has been unless ...
I suppose what I'm trying to say is that the story continues to hold my attention and you are doing a wonderful job with the narrative.
Gravira manent videlicit - especially from the lurker:-)
Macte! FS |

Eee, your Harry and Hermione are so cute. A very happy little picture you're painting. Oh my, they're quite distracted by each other aren't they? Hahhaa. Luna is absolutely charming, not too batty. She's just so sweet, but hilariously blunt. I love your description of Colin, your writing really has a nice life to it. Quite pretty. Do we know Nigel? I can't remember. Is that Ginny's ex boss or something? Ach, I'm so terrible that I've totally forgotten! No! Colin! What! Oh my gosh. That's horrible! And actually totally unexpected. You do deaths better than JK. I'm pleased to see that Harry and Hermione are still talking about people. Hah, love the bit about the workers trying to do the same thing as Harry. HAHAHA Oh can we have more Cady and Riley? The bit about Harry breaking the wards is just too funny. Ahahaha, the trio, the two of them are going to go into shock is any more famous war heroes show up! Did Malfoy kill Colin? Poor Colin! What happened? Ahahaha oh the trio. I love the trio. They support each other so well. Oh no! Poor Ron, the guilt must be awful. And poor, poor Ron.
Who is the first disciple? |

He was alive?! How on earth was he alive?! Why are you so cruel leaving it there lmao.
I'm glad Ginny seems to be getting better with seeing Harry and Hermione together. Let's hope she starts things up with Dean soon, yeah? (;
Can't wait to read the next chapter and glad you had a great couple weekends! Would love to hear about them sometime (: |
Author Feedback: He was alive. Before he died.
*Groan!* Oh dear - sorry! But that just popped out of my keyboard  . (
 )
Oooh, can't rush the Ginny/Dean thing tooooo much!!! She was very much in love with Harry and it takes time ... although the gorgeous Dean may well help to speed up the healing process...
Ah the great weekends!!! The first one was my hubby's birthday weekend; another couple, very good friends of ours, treated us to lunch at a fabulous seafood restaurant on the harbour - then we did a little sight-seeing (always a good thing to do in your own hometown occasionally!) which was just brilliant and a lot of fun PLUS we had a totally fun BBQ the next day with some other close friends. Then last weekend it was our anniversary and I organised a little surprise - a night in a beautiful hotel overlooking the harbour and dinner at a nearby pub (on the roof - great views!!) with family and friends - then lunch the next day with some friends in the city before checking out the markets then heading home and collapsing!! WE now have some brilliant memories - and plenty of photos!
Ciao for now!

That's okay, Janie, I forgive you for the cliffie. Such an interesting twist in the plot, though not totally unexpected. I wonder if Emrys or Verity are somehow related to Dean in some way? It seems they'd have to be in order to have the Book of Records, right?
I also enjoyed the poignant scene at Colin's funeral, though there is the hope that Hermione & Ginny may be able to be friends again sometime.
Can't wait for the next chapter! :-) |
Author Feedback: I was rather worried about a cliffie right at that point in the story - but it would've made the chapter sooooo long (and much later, too!). As for any relationship between Emrys, Verity and Dean...ooooh, I'll have to bit my tongue and just say wait and see! (sorry!!!) And glad you like the graveside scene - I spent some time on that, getting it to the point where I was happy with it.
And I think there's a good chance for Hermione and Ginny (if only because I know of a real-life similar situation that eventually ended up fine).
Thanks again for the reviews - you're a legend!
Cheers,
Janie |
