Entertaining chapter.

Killing that dragon was wrong. (1) Because they are almost certainly endangered species (2) It was a female of breeding age (3) It was a nesting mother. I'm not an eco-nazi saying that, either. I eat meat, harass Sierra Club members, and used to hunt. In canon, Krum lost points for damaging an *egg*. For killing a breeding female, Harry should have lost the whole tournament by the same standard.

Thanks for the update.

Great chapter and lots of fun with the Knight fighting the dragon scene. I like the relaxed relationship between Harry and Albus as well. Thanks for sharing!

Arresting someone because he have been cursed?

You write nice stories, but you unfortunately skew towards God Mode characters (which is not necessarily bad), and Acceptable Targets and a bit of Double Standard - what is unacceptable for villains (e.g. baseless arrest or summary execution) is acceptable for heroes...

Just a quick comment. Just as there's a difference between "All dead" and "Mostly dead", there is a difference between "Commercially extinct" and "Extinct". "Commercially extinct" means that your chances if finding any wood in quantity to work with are pretty much nonexistent; however, trees still can be found, the species is still available, and (with time and care) the species may one day be cultivated again in your typical tree-farm conditions. Cuban mahogany, which is what you reference here, is commercially extinct, though I understand some cultivation is occurring to produce a sustainable product that can be sold. "Extinct", on the other hand, means that no specimens of the species are alive today. It's gone; you're not getting it back short of mad-scientist work.

This chapter just reinforces my conviction that you're one of the VERY few fanfic authors I can depend on to never leave me wanting (with a story). Excellent work again, Mr. J.

Once again, the pitcher hangs a slow one over the plate and Jeconais knocks it out of the park!

Excellent chapter, really liked what you did in this chapter with Amelia and Fudge as well as how you did the first task.

I really like this story. It took me an embarrassingly long time to realise the zoolander reference. I like the less angsty take on the "betrayal". Well, not much to say except I can't wait to see more.

I do believe you may have found a unique variation on the Tri-Wizard tournament. Shades of Saint George! The more I see of this story, the better it gets. Delightful, and looking forward to see what happens next.

Awesome. Not much to say, really. Nothing is bad, or even normal. All is very well indeed. I like Derek as i like Michael. Prettyboy characters can indeed be a lot of fun and the flirting was great. The demise of the most unfortunate dragon was also fantastic. I really enjoyed the fact that the armor wasn't perfect, and didn't work quite as well as he had hoped. I'm eagerly awaiting next installment of the awesome adventures of Harry and his Horde.

Whenever you're ready, I'll be right here.

That was an enjoyable, unique, first task. I've read (and even written) many versions of it, but never one like that. And that is the most important aspect of fanfiction - it's not the same as the books.

Great chapter, can't wait for more.

Ha! And there is the look "blue steel" I mentioned. Next you know harry will be donating to start "the harry potter class for kids who can't smith good and want to do other things good." Made me smile to read this chapter.

Funny chapter, I like that Dobby told Harry to kick butt

I'm impressed, very impressed. Really am enjoying this story (and author notes) very much.

Thanks for writing.

The First task was awesome as written and most enjoyable. The look at the Greengrass family's homelife was quite pleasant and it's good to see a sound wizarding family. The crusade for Sirius should have interesting consequences and I find this Amelia Bones quite plausible, no nonsense but not without self-interesting; she's going to be either a major antagonist and a major ally. I do love the way this story is evolving and look forward to more.
