Lightning Strikes Twice Ch. 1 (Harry Potter)
🕑 Added 2023-01-04 16:16:55 +0000 UTCA/N: Here we are with the first chapter of our new Time Travel Harry Potter fic.
-x-X-x-
“-arry Potter!”
Where is he? No, more importantly, when is he? Has it worked? Has he managed it? Harry’s head is swimming, his senses barely registering. Getting his mind in order is a matter of some difficulty but takes no longer than a handful of actual seconds. In the end, it’s not as though he’s overwriting another mind entirely. He is who he is.
Ultimately, it’s more like memories he hasn’t had a reason to think about in quite a few years are suddenly much more vibrant and in the forefront of his mind. Memories of his earlier life. Memories of a cupboard under the stairs, of a letter to Hogwarts. Of years spent in the school, both wonderous and terrifying in equal measure.
The first thing he registers about his surroundings is just how many people he’s surrounded by. The sheer number of bodies damn near gives Harry a heart attack. He almost goes for his wand, unused to being surrounded on every side without at least a wall at his back. But in the end, he manages to hold off as he figures out that he’s not in danger.
He’s in the Great Hall, which means it HAD worked. Time Travel. Helluva a drug, heh. Still, he’d spent so many of his formative years in this place. Feasting day in and day out. Knowing he was in the Great Hall and surrounded by Hogwarts Students wasn’t very helpful. He needed to know what year it was. Not that he knew WHERE he was, he needed to know WHEN he was.
Slowly focusing on his immediate surroundings, Harry lets out an explosive breath… only to realize everyone is staring at him at the moment. Not just those immediately around him, but everyone in the Great Hall is looking his way. Fuck, Ron and Hermione look so young.
… It probably says something that even having everyone staring at him doesn’t really narrow down the exact time period all that much. Though, the fact that it’s night time at least precludes this from being an End of the Year Feast. At the same time-
“Harry! Harry, my boy! Please, up here!”
Dumbledore. Harry blinks as his eyes are immediately drawn up to the High Table where the Hogwarts Faculty normally sit. Except it’s not just the High Table right now. In front of it, there’s also a massive, familiar chalice. Harry blinks as he takes in the view of the Goblet of Fire, along with Headmaster Dumbledore right beside it holding a slip with Harry’s name on it.
It’s in that moment that he finally catches up to the end of his newly vibrant early memories as well. Oh sure, he recalls what happened in his Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Years as well as the years after Hogwarts just as easily, but there’s a difference between recalling something and having just lived it. The start of his dreams with Voldemort are fresh in Harry’s mind now, as is the mixed bag that was the Quidditch World Cup. Great show… poor after party.
Arriving back in this moment specifically was irritating to say the least. Slowly, Harry begins to rise from his seat. It was almost as though Magic was punishing him for his hubris. He’d been allowed to go back in time against all odds, but in doing so, he’d found himself bound to this stupid fucking cup again.
He would have preferred the start of the Year instead of this, if only so that he could have chosen whether he wanted to let his name get added to the Goblet or not. But… beggars couldn’t be choosers, he supposed.
Wordlessly, Harry walks the length of the Great Hall. Everyone’s eyes are on him, but now that he knows where he is and has full access to his senses, he’s not concerned. There ARE threats in this room, but none from the students. Not yet anyways.
Entering the side chamber where the other Triwizard Tournament Champions are waiting, Harry pays the three no mind. They all ask him questions, but their words barely even register. He’s already planning out his next steps, already considering his next move.
Distantly, he’s aware of Ludo Bagman entering the room right behind him and all but having a seizure over how excited he was. The man was relatively harmless though, so Harry lets him be, his mind still racing as Ludo brings the others up to speed. There’s so much to do and so little time. Honestly, he’s not sure he can afford to be bogged down here for too much longer. This was dealt with swiftly enough in the previous timeline, right?
The door behind him opens again and this time Harry finds himself forced to pay a bit more attention as a number of powerhouses step into the room. His hackles are unconsciously raised just by finding himself in the presence of the three School Administrators, along with Mr. Crouch, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Snape. For a moment, Harry considers removing the Imperius Curse from Mr. Crouch… but holds off for now.
“Madame Maxime! Say it is a joke! Zis quiet little boy can’t possible be expected to compete!”
Harry tilts his head to the side at that, Fleur’s words some of the first to actually register and pierce through the fog of planning currently draped over his thoughts. ‘Quiet Little Boy’ indeed… heh, he’d be sure to show her otherwise later, but for now he wasn’t inclined to rise to the bait. In fact, once he gets over the immediate fight or flight response that comes with being in a small enclosed space with this many threats, he finds he can’t be bothered to rise to the occasion whatsoever. Let Dumbledore figure this out. That was what happened last time, right?
Except, within minutes of Harry once again checking out on the conversation, there’s a pair of wizened old hands on his shoulders and a grandfatherly face looking him in the eye.
“Harry.”
To his credit, the Headmaster has some concern in his gaze, as though he’s worried by Harry’s listless reaction to all of this. He doesn’t understand that it’s not because Harry is shellshocked, but more because none of this truly matters.
“Did you put your name into the Goblet of Fire, Harry?”
The question is spoken calmly, but the accusation inherent in it is… irritating to say the least. Finally, Harry actually remembers how this whole conversation went. Right, they were trying to make him out to be the bad guy here. They were trying to blame it all on him. Perhaps not Dumbledore… but everyone else wanted to pin this whole shitshow on the youngest person in the room. What a bunch of scumbags.
Slowly, Harry’s emerald gaze pans over the room, taking in the unfriendly faces all around him. When he finally looks back to Dumbledore, he can’t help the scoff that spills forth from his lips, leading the Headmaster to let go of him and frown as he takes a step back.
“Right, because that’s the most reasonable explanation here, isn’t it? It was all my fault.”
Most of the people in the room bristle at his lack of respect, but Harry isn’t done. Glaring now, he scowls.
“Me, a Fourth Year, managed to surpass the Age Line of the Greatest Wizard of our Age. Then, after I did so, I somehow managed to trick an ancient artifact into putting me in a Fourth School all on my own.”
There’s a beat of silence before Dumbledore interjects again, likely to head off any angry outbursts from the others.
“Did you have an older student put your name in the Goblet of Fire for you?”
Harry can’t help the bewildered look on his face, truth be told. He vaguely remembers this question from the last time around, but now… well, he’s had a long time to think about how stupid it was.
“Why would that even be an option, Professor?!”
The aged Headmaster looks taken aback by his question, and so does everyone else, allowing Harry to continue on.
“What the HELL was the point of having an Age Line if younger students could have just paid off older students to put their names in for them?! What kind of magically binding contract allows for that sort of loophole in the first place?! For that matter, what sort of magically binding contract allows for THIS to happen?!”
He can tell his words are having some effect on those in the room. Karkaroff looks like he’s sucked on something particularly sour. Maxime at least looks thoughtful. Dumbledore has a grimace, and the three actual Triwizard Champions are all blank-faced and wide-eyed as Harry makes some very good points. On the other hand… there’s always Severus Snape.
“And what exactly are you claiming happened, Potter? Because from where I’m standing, it’s quite obvious you’ve done what you always do and found a way to circumvent the rules.”
Looking at the man who played no small part in siccing Voldemort on him and his parents, it takes every ounce of self-control Harry has not to whip out his wand and kill Snape on the spot. But no, it wouldn’t do to reveal his hand too early. He needs to be free if he wants to get things done, not locked up in Azkaban. Although, he will need to make a trip there some time soon… just not in chains with his wand snapped if he could help it.
Before Harry can answer, an unexpected savior does it for him.
“Don’t be daft, Snape. You know what he’s claiming. And he’s right too.”
Mad-Eye Moody enters the room and immediately occupies everyone’s attention. But then to be fair, someone like him just had a presence to him… even when he was actually a polyjuiced Death Eater in disguise. His magical prosthetic eye spins this way and that, before focusing on Harry even as his remaining real eye sweeps over the assembles wizards and witches.
“Boy’s right. What was the point of an Age Line if anyone could put anyone else’s name in the Goblet, eh? But that’s not even what’s important. Wouldn’t be a problem if he’d come out as the Hogwarts Champion, would it?”
Madame Maxime frowns at this.
“But ‘e is ze ‘Ogwarts Champion! A second one!”
Shaking his head, ‘Moody’ takes a swig from his flask. Once again, Harry is struck by the urge to Expelliarmus the man’s flask out of his hand. Let the Polyjuice Potion spill all over the floor. But no… no, that would be a bit much this early in the game.
“He’s unaffiliated. A fourth nonexistent school. Potter is an island unto himself in this Tournament. Which is exactly what whoever put his name in wants.”
There’s a beat as everyone processes that. Of course, not everyone understands what he’s getting at.
“Zis is still outrageous! ‘e now has a chance to compete for ze honor and glory and a thousand Galleons besides! Zis isn’t fair!”
He’d forgotten Fleur was so… bratty when she was younger. Not that it makes her any less beautiful, Harry must admit. She could throw a full-blown tantrum and she’d still somehow manage to make it look sexy. That said, she’s clearly wrong about some things here, and Harry sees no reason to let Barty Crouch Jr. as Mad-Eye Moody do all the talking.
“I have no need for the glory or the gold. I’m the Boy-Who-Lived. And my bank account at Gringotts certainly isn’t hurting, even after over a decade of neglect. By comparison, competing in a school tournament isn’t going to make me any more of a celebrity than I already am.”
In truth, he could always use a little more gold. And a thousand Galleons wasn’t anything to scoff at either. At the same time though, the truth rings in his words. For some, it sways them even more to his side. For others, like Snape, it only makes them angrier. The Potions Professor is scowling furiously now, as Harry’s disguised Death Eater ally backs him up.
“Damn straight. And more than that, Potter isn’t strong enough to fool the Goblet of Fire. None of your students are. Which means someone with the magic to cast a very powerful Confundus charm wanted to make sure the boy competed. They hoodwinked an ancient magical artifact, just as the boy said. You think a Fourth Year is capable of that?”
“… But why? Why sign Harry up for a fourth school like this?”
Cedric Diggory’s confusion is palpable as he finally speaks up, his brow furrowed. The Hufflepuff Champion has been listening to Harry and ‘Moody’ quite closely, and Harry can say they’ve swayed him considerably already. But at the same time, he still doesn’t truly understand. To be fair, he’d willingly signed up for the Tournament, so of course he wouldn’t.
“Heh, to try and get him killed, of course.”
The room explodes as everyone tries to talk at once. Cedric just blinks, even as everyone else reacts with disbelief or derision. Harry, meanwhile, finds himself a bit lost in thought. Even as Karkaroff derides ‘Moody’ as paranoid and Barty Jr. turns things back around on the other wizard in spectacular fashion, Harry is more focused on what he wants to do next.
Because… in truth, he didn’t have to deal with this shit if he didn’t want to. The Triwizard Tournament represented opportunity, there was no doubt about that. Even with his claims to Fleur that he needed neither the glory nor the gold, he could certainly make use of both. More than that, his participation in the Triwizard Tournament represented a clear and direct path to not just Voldemort, but his followers.
Harry knew where Voldemort currently was. He could hop over there after getting a couple of other things done and deal with the Dark Lord with a snap of his fingers. But Voldemort’s followers were a little more difficult. He knew who they all were of course but getting them all together wouldn’t be something he could just pull off at any time.
On the other hand, being bound to the Goblet of Fire for a year would be annoying. It wouldn’t limit him all that much, but it would require him to be present for each of the Tasks when they arrived. Tasks that he could excel at, and in doing so attract the eye of many a witch.
He had to consider precisely what he’d come back for. He was here to stop the end of the world. Did he have time for this stupid school tournament? More pertinently, was he ready to deal with the fallout of breaking the contract?
Because he could do it. Without suffering any of the consequences, even. Harry knew full well how to break the magically binding contract with the Goblet of Fire without being hit by the backlash. However, there would still be fallout. There would be questions that he probably wouldn’t want to answer.
As Dumbledore finally brings the debate to a close and Bagman takes the opportunity to jump in and get started on the instructions, Harry makes his decision then and there. He can’t afford to be anything less than decisive. The world is depending on him.

A/N: Got the same questions/requests as the other two new fics this week:
Here we are, heh. Most importantly, what did you all think? Your feedback is critical to me, especially at this point in time at the start of a new fic.
Secondly, you'll have noticed I'm calling this story the Untitled HP Project atm. That's because I want you guys to help me come up with a title if you want. Throw me your suggestions and if any is a real Winner it might end up being at the top of the page as early as Chapter 2.
Thirdly, I'm planning on increasing my backlog for all of my Story Polls from 2 chapters to 4 chapters. That's going to start with these six new Patreon Exclusives I'm spinning up over the course of the next two weeks. Once they're all releasing publicly, I'll put my other four stories on public hiatus for a month to get them up to a 4 chapter backlog as well.
Fourthly, I'm going to be cautious with these new stories. Because I'm not posting them publicly until Chapter 5 goes up here, I have a little more wiggle room, I figure. Basically, after Chapter 4 goes up here, we're going to be doing immediate Vibe Checks for each new fic to make sure it's landing well with you guys, my loyal patrons.
Consider these stories all experiments and be sure to give me lots of feedback as early as possible so I know if I'm fucking up somewhere along the way.
As always, thanks for reading!

I appreciate Dumbledore "asking calmly" :)
Dr.Scribe
Looks like this one has the chance for Ron to grow up and Harry isn't holding it against him. Ron's own actions will dictate how low of a dip and how quick/if he rises to the occasion. What ever the author thinks is logical based on the changes to the source. Albus...might not be bashed but maybe not as leaned on for guidence/leadership for harry specific. Wonder if Harry will form his own order and be like the strike team and the Order of the Phoenix will be just backup and support
The Arn
For the title there's the line Hermione says in Azkaban about bad things happening to wizards who mess around with time. Since Harry doesn't appear to care about keeping the time intact my suggestion would be, Messing Around with Time
lala jhones
Happy to help! :)
Frostcore
So far it looks great! I really hope there won't be any Ron or Dumbledor bashing in this.
Bunsenburner
I would love to see Rita become Harry's attack dog in the media without threatening her with the knowledge she is an Animagus. Play up the fact that there's a death eater in the castle without actually saying that Voldemort is back. Have him use his celebrity... instead of the usual seeing Hero's fall type of shtick she runs with, the international community is trying to make Britain's 2 most famous wizards look bad on the international level. Appeal to the fact that she can dig up dirt on so many foreign witches and wizards. (All without making the relationship sexual)
Cambrian
Good tips! I will say, that second one is a major pet peeve of mine too. Huge pain in the ass. Let OP characters be OP lol.
RenegadeSol
I'd say the most common pitfall I usually see is when the author has their characters ignore their own given characteristics. (Super smart HP is supposed to be calm and collected, but goes off the rails every odd chapter as an example). The second pitfall I've seen is the "Oh, the MC is much stronger now, let's have random threat X pop out of the floor boards to give him a challenge!... An explanation for said threat? Unnecessary, it just exists." Lol
Cambrian
Hm can't make any promises but what parts of most Time Travel HP fics don't you enjoy? Maybe I can try to avoid some of the common pitfalls heh
RenegadeSol
This is a premise I like, although I have yet to see a time travel HP that I truly enjoyed. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.
Joshua Kei
I've read a lot of fics with this premise, and while I understand it's Cambrian writing this time around, I'm not particularly eager for it. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt tho, can't believe I reviewed the wrong fic ugh, I went back and checked
Cqys
I'm... Not entirely shocked people choose the boring option here. That's... Kinda the status quo. That said you stated he could break the contract with no backlash right? I can't imagine any self respecting adult willingly magically bind themselves to an artifact that's already been proven to be trick able. Just why take that risk? It's stupid. It makes no sense. He risks losing his magic over things not under his control. Also... If there's no back lash and people are just so hyped about rehashing a tournament we've all seen a thousand times why wouldn't he just break the contract... Tomorrow with no one the wiser and just compete anyway? The thing goes dormant. Noone has to know...
Kejmur
Personally, I hope for some Disney expies. Smut with Disney ladies is kind of rare these days, so it would be appreciated ;).
Bellerophon
I think it was explained Barty used a powerful confundus like piece of magic that Voldemort gave him specifically to get Harry into the tournament.
Matthew Johnson
Tournament would be better otherwise fake Moody will just kidnap him earlier
BRIAN
Lol same. I just assume 90% of shit is fanon if it actually makes sense. Love the world hate the canon plot holes. Fanon is the only way to not go crazy.
Cambrian
Got it, thanks lol. Been... two decades since I read Goblet of Fire lmfao
BRIAN
Its canon that they get out of exams. Not really on full classes. Practically the only thing they get in canon. Fanon that they get the obvious of a teacher support or getting to leave the castle for buying supplies and such. Anything that would be good for a death tourney is fanon. Even the whole Adult thing is fanon but makes sense as to why the contract works.
Cambrian
Hm, question on this. Is Harry getting out of classes and exams canon or fanon for the Triwizard Tournament? Its been so long I honestly can't remember
tornadoboy
Harry Potter and the Ah shit here we go again. Also I think Harry should initially go with the flow. Change history too much and you could screw up other things no? So go do the task. Kickass in it since now he knows what's going on. Take someone he actually wants to, to the ball instead of pining over Cho like a dumbass (Fleur maybe? Both the Patil twins? Katie Bell?) and then save Diggory. If he actively plans for the third task, maybe by bringing in peeps like Sirius in somehow or Amelia Bones, he could go into his fifth year with a Ministry actually doing something about Voldy, rooting out his followers and stuff. Could spin that into a slightly political story with Harry actively working to reform the government. And it opens up characters who are otherwise too old and not realistically available to him. Tonks, Bones, whoever else in the ministry you want.
RanmaChaos
Ooo yeah, I didn't even think about classroom attendance. All the more reason to stick with the tournament.
Cambrian
Yeah I like Retrograde a lot as well. But now I think I'm falling even more in love with Lightning Strikes Twice xD
Nanaya7Nights
Glad to hear that. Fem!Voldy for me works best in AU stories. Genderbent Voldy only works in short lewds. Though I did come across some stories that had Ginny's soul being switched entirely by Teen Riddle's. Oddly enough I have never come across a Ginny/Teen!Riddle Hybrid, who h would make for an interesting idea. Combining Tom's obsession with greatness with Bunny's crush on Harry & mutating it to an obsessive desire to hook up with Harry and make them great would be an interesting story idea. Too bad there is no way to search for a story with those particular parameters.
DualEquinox
Fun fact about my favourite pick (cause of course I would be swinging for that one, it *is* my favourite pick after all), Retrograde actually has 3 pertinent meanings which can apply to this story: 1. Adjective: Reverting to an earlier and inferior condition. 2. Verb [Archaic]: Go back in position or time. 3. Noun [Rare]: A degenerate person.
Cambrian
Oh, now that one I like quite a lot. Might go with that xD
lala jhones
Lightning strikes twice?
Deviousplot
Makes sense
Cambrian
Heh, not a bad one, just feels like this Harry isn't really a boy anymore, hmmm
Cambrian
It really is v.v These are some good ideas tho!
DualEquinox
Title Suggestions: A Fate Thrice Defied A Life Twice Lived From the Ashes To Kill the Time Wrong Place, Wrong Time For a Better Tomorrow Retrograde [This one is my personal favourite, I like simple titles with meaning]. Man, naming things really *is* pretty difficult, isn't it?
Cambrian
It didn't win by enough, basically. I said in the original poll that it had to be an overwhelming majority for me to go through with it and there wasn't enough of one. This is because I feel like the people who don't want Fem!Voldy feel much more strongly about their distaste then the people who would want Fem!Voldy. For the latter group, its kind of just a "sure, I'll take a genderbent Voldy for lewds" but for the former group its more of "eww, this might turn me off of the story entirely, I hate this idea". That's my thinking anyways xD
Nanaya7Nights
@Cambrian Didn't Genderbent Voldy win the vote though? (Despite me voting for no genderbent Voldy & hoping for a canon era Dephini instead)
Deviousplot
How about the boy who lived( twice)?
Cambrian
They are, aren't they? Lol, appreciate you trying at least xP
Berix
Merry more title-mas Consequences of Your(his?) Actions Positionality Enjoy Your Youth Change the Past(Future?) Past Revisited Shifting Memories ... these all suck titles are fucking impossible to come up with. See you again for Fate titles.
BRIAN
Honestly the tournament should be easy street for a time traveler HP. It also gives him an out of classes and exams, so he wouldn't be bothered with them. He knows where the Death eaters will be and won't be caught off guard by Wormtail. Easy stomp.
Cambrian
Harry being forced to participate in the Triwizard Tournament is definitely one of the stupider plot holes of canon. One explanation I saw that was perhaps ever so slightly palatable was that Barty Jr. stole Harry's signature off of one of his turned in DADA assignments and put THAT in the Goblet of Fire. So technically Harry wrote his name down. This would also explain why they all thought Harry asked an older student to put his name in the Goblet. But that still doesn't explain why Dumbledore only put down an Age Line if anyone could submit others for entry on their behalf. He should have put a TON more security in place lmfao.
Rolando Estrada
I would plead that he stay in the tournament, the final part about how if he waits for the final task where all of the free inner-circle death eaters will be in attendance. Then during the school year he can wipe out most of the ones in Azkaban while he relaxes with MANY a of the witches at school/attending the tasks (Malfoy's Mom as an example) and fire off his plans.
Kasikan
I've always wondered why no one points out that the person standing in front of the magical artifact is binding themselves to it when entering a name. I doubt the artifact itself cares for a name or who wrote it as much as it does the magical being who is inserting the item into it for admission. I'd just stand there and watch as Barty Jr. gets himself drained of his magic for failure to take part. I'm betting the name just takes their place if the person doesn't themselves. That'd make more sense than a name on a paper even if signed by yourself being that binding. Since any magic your signature has would fade after a time.
Lee Moffat
Do you mean the most important character in canon besides Harry? Daphne Greengrass, kek
ItsaKipplee
I'm really looking forward to this, wanna see how he "Easily" deals with a whole fuck off dragon
Cambrian
Neither, though it DOES have a bad girl turned good trope that will show up soon enough
40kTitan
I would think breaking the contract would preempt letting his inner slytherin out to play. Seeing bbeg and group be poleaxed when their "meticulous planning" becomes kinetically disassembled in hilarious manner a la schadenfreude is always a good thing. And lewding the hot foreign chick. Got to hit that cliche.
Nanaya7Nights
If Harry plans to derail his destiny you could go for a title like Screw Destiny or Fuck Destiny. Or Harry's New Game+ coz he seems to have carried over his power/knowledge from the previous run. Even more so if he wants to deal with Voldy easily and focus on enjoying his life. A question: Does this story have Delphini or Fem!Voldy or neither?
Nanaya7Nights
"and in doing so, attact the eye of many a witch" is a compelling reason to stay in the Tournament
The Real
Man I can't wait for this story to get off the rails.
Cambrian
Yus
Cambrian
I assume this is a title suggestion, but tbh it doesn't feel very applicable to this story xD
Cambrian
Hehe, there will be plenty of having fun with girls at least :P
Cambrian
Its definitely a choice between using the bad guys' plan against them or going Scorched Earth Policy, and I guess the majority of voters prefer the first. I'd personally be fine with either xD
Cambrian
This is why I assume people are voting for Participate yeah. Because the moment Harry breaks the contract is the moment he has to start watching his back from a lot more different sources. So long as he's participating in the Triwizard Tournament, he actually has followers of the Dark Lord invested in his success and survival since Barty wants him to reach Little Hangleton lol. Though even still, I don't think Breaking the Contract is the end of the world. Just means Harry is going Scorched Earth Policy heh
IAVL
On one hand, I would say fuck the tournament and see what new things can pop up. On the other, well Crouch is in a good position to fuck with Harry, so letting him think things are going well is a good thing for Harry to fuck things up for him even more. War is based on deception after all, and as long as your enemy has no idea on what you are capable of doing, are doing, of if they are walking into a trap, becomes all that much more vicious.
Cambrian
There's definitely going to be plenty of ruining of evil plans. However, I'm taking the vote for Participating to mean that people want Harry to follow Voldemort's big dumb plan for the Third Task and ultimately usurp it. So that means letting things like Crouch stay Imperio'd and Crouch Jr. stay Polyjuiced, so that eventually Harry makes it to Little Hangleton at the end of the Triwizard Tourney. I would say that Breaking the Contract is the 'flip the board and ruin all of the bad guy plans' option while Participating is the 'Use what he knows to take control of the bad guy plan' option. And I will say, I don't necessarily consider either option better than the others. Both will result in very different stories though.
SpiritCrystal
Good choice of a point to travel back to, Harry being disoriented isn’t going to surprise anyone when he just got called up for the tournament. If we’re not going to skip the trials, why not have Harry start ruining evil plans way earlier to mix things up? You’ve already teased spilling the polyjuice potion and decursing crouch, why not start pulling stuff like that every couple chapters?
Cambrian
I do love the alliteration though xD
Cambrian
Hm, a little too long, I prefer three word names. Time Turner Troubles would be fine length-wise for instance. Though I don't think it quite speaks to me as the right title. Hadn't fully decided how he traveled back in time yet, except obviously via a magic ritual. A bunch of modified Time Turners could have played a part, but I don't necessarily think 'Troubles' is the right word to describe this story
Drakeulous
How about Harry Potter: Time Turner Troubles or for short HP: TTT
Grafian
What's with everyone voting to remain in the tournament? It would be much more interesting to opt out, throw the story off the canon rails and see where that train takes us.
Max
I‘m intrigued to see where this goes. But to be honest, I say fuck the tournament. Sitting on the bleachers and watching while having some fun with a girl sounds way better.
