I *finally* got around to read this. LOL, I almost fell off my pouf! I love the set up, especially with Poor Twiggy overcoming all manner of problems.

Wonderful story!

Oh, very, very good! You have a knack for getting inside odd creatures' heads and seeing things from their perspectives. It makes your stories so entertaining, and makes my brain do little somersaults at the same time. I never considered bowtruckles living in a condom - but - it's perfect! Brava!

Wartcap, you made my day! Not just Pumbles, but a new one-shot! You have such a way with words; "My brittle one, could I broach the subject of kindling?" and "Young ones can be a splintering" are two of my favorite lines. I was really getting worried about poor Twiggy by the time he got to Charms class! Out of the frying pan and into the fire, over and over again! (Fortunately, no real fire, just a Floo trip.) I love how many of the professors you managed to include in the story. And although we all (I think) appreciate various Gryffindors, it was actually refreshing that no Gryffindor students made an appearance! (Hermione would have taken charge too effectively, and stopped the story mid-stream ;-).)

Author's Response: *Hugs* Thank you! I am so pleased you liked Twiggy's tale. I totally agree about the Gryffindors. I thought about having Neville pop in somehow, but he would be too caring. The Golden Trio do have a tendancy to upstage anything they are cast in. Cheers, warty xxx

Your imagination is wond'rous fair! How could anyone help but fall a little in love with Twiggy the Bowtruckle? I hope we hear more of this adventures in the future! :)

Author's Response: Yo, Snapey! My imagination is over-active and slightly out-of-the-box? Ahuh. Do you know, it was only after this was up I looked at the list of words again and saw trick, treat, storm, pumpkin etc and realised there was a Halloween scene in there! Perhaps it's because the only trick or treating around these parts lands you an £80 fine for disorderly conduct that I didn't see it. Actually, I'm glad I didn't. Hope you're all good. *Hugs* to all. warty xxx

Ah wartcap, yet another of your madcap stories has brought much joy to my day. Very well done.

Author's Response: Thanks, Gwen! Don't forget to add me as a favourite author. Will give $5 and some Halloween candy.

Omg, Warty... This was hilarious. I read the whole thing with one hand over my mouth, trying not to giggle too loudly. My coworkers already think I'm insane, and you're not helping things! Really, though, wonderful story. :)

Author's Response: *Chuckle* Dear co-workers at Taco Bell, 23rd st, NY, NY. Jacqueline is indeed stark raving bonkers. She shaves the backs of her hands before coming on shift and keeps beheaded Barbies (she calls Ann Boleyn, Catherine Howard, Jane Grey, Mary Queen of Scots and Bellatrix Lestrange) under her mattress. I'll have an extra large taco with guacamole dip and a large mountain dew. Ta. warty xxx

Reader's Response: Hey!! *does not work at the Bell, damn it* I do love their food though... and my Bellatrix doll has a head, that's the sexiest part of her!

Um...*shifty eyes* Just kidding, of course... *runs away* Jackie (short for Janice, which makes no sense, I know, and trust me, I would much rather be named Jacqueline...tee hee)

Wonderful! But now I want a Twiggy of my own!

I really enjoyed your story, and plan to look for more of your work. :) Oh, and please pass my admiration on to Snape's_Dreamer - what lovely illustrations!

Author's Response: Thank you very much! I live in an old forest and spent a while standing under oak trees and collecting small fallen branches with leaves stil attached. I brought them back to sit by the computer and really got the Bowtruckle feel before writing. It's so nice you enjoyed the result. The tree at the end of my driveway is now called 'Twiggy's Tree'. warty xxx
