I'm not dead (yay)

I'm sorry I've been away for so long, but this story has been so slow to write (as I write the entire story as one to try and keep it mostly consistent). Then I had to get it beta read (as I now have a beta reader in the form of the amazing Cynder2013), all while trying (and failing) to do my degree (which I am having to change),

The first chapter of the next story, Janet Harker and the Goblet of Fire, has been posted, the uploads will be slower than usual (once a week) to give Cynder2013 more time to finish betaing the rest of the story.

Without further ado, onto the reviews:

Reviews:

Cynder2013: Huh, I missed the Skulduggery Pleasant reference. The China Sorrows one anyway. Man... That's embarrassing.

*Well, you can't catch them all (just ask Ash, he's been trying for years)

Ch44:

Cynder2013: That was fast. It took ages for Harry to get a full Patronus in the books.

*(Sheepish look): I hadn't gotten that far in the books and was basing it off the movies

Ilostmyaccount: So, Janet's happy memory is Alice, if she ends up with anyone other than Alice I will be disappointed to say the least,
Also, it seems Lupin does not even want to catch Peter,

Regards

* Funny you should say that...

I think it's more that Lupin is being cautious about getting his hopes up, he's believed the worst of Sirius for so many years and doesn't want to confront the fact that he might be wrong

Ch45:

Ilostmyaccount: (Sigh) Neville, will you ever learn?

Regards

* Nope, no as long as he keeps being used as plot device by authors

Cynder2013: Cadogan...he has problems.

*Yeah, Cadogan is too Gryffindor

Ch46:

Cynder2013: *laughing* Apollo needs to do that more often.

* I expect it gets boring, driving the sun around on a determined path all day

Ilostmyaccount: Poor Trelawney, having her lesson crashed by a bored God,

Regards

* It's more interesting than her actual lessons

Ch47:

Ilostmyaccount: I must say, I approve of how you wrote the Buckbeak execution scene,

Regards

*Thank you, it was a very difficult one to get the tone right for, but I think it came out well

Cynder2013: It's too much to hope that they'll keep hold of Wormtail, isn't it?

*No, no it's not

Ch48:

Cynder2013: Come on, guys. You have Janet right there going along with it, and you know no one could ever control her mind. Not an ordinary wizard anyway.

*Emotions are running high, they aren't exactly thinking logically

Ilostmyaccount: Janet, if you had explained things first you would not be in this mess and you would not have attacked a teacher.
Also, the pronoun game is strong with this one,

Regards

*Yeah, Janet's reaching Dumbledore levels of keeping secrets

(Insert Cinemasins' *ding*)

Ch49:

Ilostmyaccount: I forgot how slimy Pettigrew was, I need a shower.
Janet got a bit scary there, did she really just threaten to kill him?

Regards

* Yeah, Pettigrew is a sycophant's sycophant

Janet's certainly pushing the line of what's light and what's dark. She's very protective of her friends, and this is the guy who has helped cause most of the suffering in Harry's life (contributed to the death of his parents and framed his godfather, meaning Harry had to stay with the Dursley's)

Cynder2013: Too bad there aren't any other werewolves that could help you out. You know, ones that keep their heads when they transform.

*Not sure what you're referring to here, but there aren't any other werewolves on the school grounds.

Ch50:

Cynder2013: There's Alice being all to the point. And that's why we love her.

*She is the Queen of understatements

Ch51:

Cynder2013: Wow, Ron actually can keep his mouth shut. Who knew?

*It only took an unbreakable oath, and the threat of Janet to make him be quiet

Ilostmyaccount: I think Ron would be more reluctant to swear the oath,
Is the werewolf sanctuary a reference?
Can you drive it into our faces anymore that Janet is really powerful? Because we get it, she's OP, we get it,

Regards

*Yeah, Ron should have been more reluctant, I accept I failed in my characterisation there (I had forgotten about when the Twins almost had him swear an oath to serve them.

No reference, just one of the most desolate places I could think of

I wouldn't say so much OP as she is just stronger than most of the threats in the Harry Potter universe (with the exception of the Basilisk, Fluffy and possibly Quirrell all the others threats up to this point have been kind of pathetic).

Ch52:

Cynder2013: That's a wonderful last sentence. I'm laughing at Peter's sentence.

*Yeah, it's only slightly excessive

Ilostmyaccount: Invisible and intangible, this is like the invisible gardener paradox, but that is about God, not nargles.
Also, I want to see the magic courts happen, but I guess Pettigrew is going to escape before next year, or I suppose you could replace him, but it wouldn't be hard to keep him,

Regards

*I had not heard of the invisible gardener before, so thanks for that

The magic court was in part in Janet's summer story: Janet Harker and an Adventure with the Doctor. You'll have to wait and see if he escapes.

Ch53:

Ilostmyaccount: Finally we see the Uncle, and I was right, it is Moody,
Why was Janet not summoned to Camp earlier?

Regards

*Well yeah, I made it kind of obvious

Because that's when they chose to summon her

Cynder2013: Oh, next year is going to be very interesting. But until then, Battle of the Labyrinth.

*Aren't all their year's interesting?

Ch54:

Cynder2013: "They provide...entertainment" is totally a great reason to save the world. gods.

The 'e' in the second "rune" got dropped.

*The gods are certainly temperamental

Fixed

Ilostmyaccount: So, Drake is possessed or evil?
Slip of the tongue, eh Hecate?

Regards

*Yeah, he bad

Totally, that was not her accidentally saying something that she meant to keep secret

Ch55:

Cynder2013: Drake: We all want to know what's going on with him.

*Sometimes ignorance is better than knowing (although, I'm fairly certain Drake was no-one's favourite character)

Ilostmyaccount: Drake is either evil, or just maybe slipping towards darker magic.
Creative traps there, what about using fiendfyre?

Regards

*Why not both.

Fiendfyre is too dark and destructive, they wouldn't be able to contain the fire before it killed someone.

Ch56:

Ilostmyaccount: Who knew the book is sassy?
Drake, I know it is Drake.
A Canadian Dryad called Maple? Oh stereotypes,

Regards

*Well, it is semi-sentient

Everyone know's it's Drake

Stereotypes are great, eh

Cynder2013: Let's see, could it be...Drake? Or maybe that's too obvious...

*Nah, it's Drake, I'm not good at subtle.

Ch57:

Cynder2013: And there's Drake almost being the Joker. Almost. He didn't totally break the fourth wall.

*He just gave it a damn good kicking

Ilostmyaccount: Oh, so it was Drake, like no-one in the world guessed that (rolls eyes),
It is good to see Janet not win one for once, she was rather Mary Sueish,

Regards

*I'm not good at subtle ok

Yeah, just a bit (although, technically she didn't beat Tala and only won because The Defender of the Faith turned up)

Ch58:

Cynder2013:When it would be easier to list the injuries someone doesn't have, Hannah will tell them.

*Yep, and she will now never be seen again

Ilostmyaccount: Janet's knowledge of the world seems a little random and used more as a punchline than as actual character development,

Regards

*Some of it, but she has only got exposure to the Muggle world via random TV and whatever movies Alice decides to show her

Ch59:

Cynder2013: Satyrs, you forgot the motivational posters of satyrs.

If Alice dies...

*They have to change them occasionally to stop the Demigods getting fed up of seeing the same one over and over again when they get sent in.

When did I imply that Alice was going to die?

Ilostmyaccount: So, what does Alice want?

Regards

*Just wait, give it a few chapters

Ch60:

HeisenbergtheGreat: Nice chapter. Cliffhanger got me all excited

*I felt like that was the perfect place to stop

Cynder2013:She turned green and tried to stab her.

Joking. I don't want to say what I actually think happened just in case I'm wrong.

*Hmm, you were probably right (not the turning green bit)

Ilostmyaccount: Well, that is an interesting way around a character's magical immunity.
That is a rather, um, interesting way to describe the sound of Grover's scream, also, the funniest I have read.
What did she do? I'm on the edge of my seat,

Regards

*I might have stolen it from how some of the Aes Sedai get around Mat's immunity to the One Power while wearing the Foxhead medallion in the Wheel of Time series

I thought it was rather amusing while writing it

Wait for it

Ch61:

HeisenbergtheGreat: Definitely worth the wait. Well written and well done

*Thanks

Ilostmyaccount: (Squeals) Alice and Janet are a couple, I'm so happy, I wanted this for ages,
Mrs O'Leary at Hogwarts will be interesting to say the least, but I like the shrinking thing, that means she will fit,

Regards

*So did I

Mrs O'Leary is just a giant puppy, a giant, bus sized puppy

Cynder2013: I KNEW IT!

Last chapter or...?

*Everyone knew it (I hope)

There's one more to go

Archdruid89: I just realized something if Jane and her father are going to be taking care of Mrs. O'Leary, here's what she ought to be given as a reward for being a good hellhound: a Scooby Snack.

*I'm afraid this isn't a Scooby Doo crossover, she'll have to settle for bacon

Muujona: yaaay they're together they're freaking adorable gods I hope they do tons of cutesy couple fluff that's always the best and omg them at the yule ball :D

*There will be some fluff

Ch22 (yeah, going back a bit):

Jenny: If I look up all those towns, books are going to come up, aren't they?

*Nope, just Roarhaven (Skulduggery Pleasant), the rest are just made up names
