Interesting story, would love to see more of this!

Love this very much. Please add some more chapters. Before I say anything I'm apologizing for what I am going to say ; I don't understand why the Harry Potter book series is the most sold book in the world when the content of the story is very dark. People like Dumbledore and Snape are honored as heros and the bullies like Dursley are never given any punishment. I wonder how a eighteen year old youth who was abused and kept in the dark for so long is capable of forgiving! Then again the boy who have seen so much death is willing to join Auror job and never ever gone under mental counseling.

Harry seems to have forgotten that the other champions VOLUNTEERED to do this

Great speech, thanks for writing! We are entertained.

Great read, if this was a beginning you should have gone further making a story from it.
Otherwise a nice epilogue, he left losing magic or something, either way form a relationship with hermione don't matter if they leave or stay. (and dump the weasleys)

it is nice that Hermione is backing Harry

What a great tale, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I only wish that it was a hundred times longer. I'm glad that you are back after 19 years better than ever. I hope that you continue to write and share more of your work.

I love, love, love that your narrator just referred to that disloyal git Ron Weasley as Harry’s former friend.
I love, love, love every syllable of Harry’s rant thus far (and I’ve only gotten as far as reading “backstabbing”).
I love, love, love the mental pic I got of the stare Harry is giving Ron there while Harry said “outright lies being spread around here”’.
Still loving Harry’s rant and the second round of glares Ron Weasley is getting.

Go Harry! he really should have confronted them more over their treatment of him.

A great story.

A very good sum up of each house, Harry own are very fickle and often little or no better than the Dursley’s using Harry as a scapegoat, family indeed.

Ron slithered very apt.

That is the thing Ron waited until after the task to apologise, Harry could have been hurt or killed. The Weasley family also let Harry down they owe Harry after what happened with Ginny yet nobody supported Harry. Mr Weasley could have spoken to Harry, Charlie could have given him help. Even a letter would have been a comfort. Yet it’s not the first time the family can be petty look at Mrs Weasley and the small Easter egg for Hermione.

Remus also let Harry down where was he in 4th year.

Well said about all the books written about Harry, they were a con and it always bothered me Harry was never paid or had any say in what was written about him. People know all about Harry before ever meeting him, Hermione included. This does not help Harry’s reputation or ability to make friends.

A good point about Harry’s wealth too.

I wonder what will happen next. Dumbledore’s plans are in ruin as they depend on Harry being willing to sacrifice his life for a people and society not worthy of the sacrifice. I hope Harry does what Dumbledore’s brother suggested and flee leave the country. Harry’s fame is too great in the UK. If the prophecy orb can be destroyed before he becomes the chosen one all the better.

Book Harry would be very disillusioned by the magical world I think.

Thanks for posting this.

Wow haven't seen or thought of Reign of Fire in years.
Nice use of a scene from that movie though.
I more than get why Harry would be mad at the events, I would too.
Anyway I really enjoyed this one-shot and thanks for sharing it.

i loved loved loved loved loved loved loved loved it.

awesome and powerful. wish it was like this in the book

Brilliant!

Awesome story

I agree that JK's world is composed of gutless, self serving, blood thirsty monsters who delight in the pain and suffering or others, as long as they themselves aren't hurt.
The abuse of muggles is enormous if you read between the lines with abuses so common that there is a whole department or Mental Murderers at the Ministry ready to go as soon as a witch or wizard fucks up and an innocent muggle see's something.

I agree that the Houses of Hogwarts are ready and eager to tear apart anyone who is slightly different to what the majority expects. Imagine a Harry who refuses to join the quidditch team as he doesn't care for sports gievn how Dudley and his gang targeted him in school. Or refusing to play until he's seen a game and once he does he says "That's insanely dangerous, NO WAY!"
