If Dumbledore isn't careful he is going to be the one to uncover his own manipulations. By lowering the score for no reason when Harry was the only one unscathed in the task and the dragon was poisoned only drugged he showed everyone the hint of his true colours. Then by trying to force the three that Harry almost died protecting back to classes and leaving Harry once again unprotected showed even more. I'm also thinking that after the blood feud was called you can see everyone that was included in it by just watching their faces...the whiter they went the more involved they were...I love the fact that Luna was burnt and unconscious and he bound and wrapped her in chains and gave her to two firsties that got lost...obviously he has never heard of elf transport eh? I have a feeling a lot of houses are about to fall politically as well as financially since the British wizarding world are so stupid to only gave one bank in the country...and Bloodbringer does so like Harry and his girls. My question is was it just Severus who was the mastermind in the attempt or was Dumbledore a part of it as well?

Another great chapter. I especially liked the Dobby/Winky/Goblin parts. Ron a slave? Genius! You are very talented and I love you and am so proud of my little brother! Now on to Boo's book!

It's nice to see that idiocy us not just for wizards and witches, it seems to run amuck in the Goblin Nation as well. They should just turn Ron into a Weasel and have the elves feed him and leave him in that room. I seriously doubt he will ever come to the conclusion that he has brought all this on himself and try to apologize. Eventually something us going to give and I'm hoping Ron us the one that gets hurt not Harry or Neville. Too bad one of his arrows didn't hit the Goblet and thus cancelling the contract for the TWT would of been a good way to get Harry out of it. There's a thought would they be able to get Ron to do the tasks as the slave rather than Harry?

name for restraunt/ice rink.. 'Slice on Ice'

.. I'll show myself out.

Hi, I'm always a fan of this sort of story. I'm also not the greatest grammarian in the world, I tend to way overuse commas. You tend to underuse them.

eg: Hermione as you know is the smartest of us.

might be better: Hermione, as you know, is the smartest of us.

if you can switch the phrase around in the sentence and it still makes sense, it can be comma'ed.

You might consider breaking up your writing into more paragraphs as well as providing a lead in/out for a scene change. And last, please consider some kind of separation between your chapter notes and the body of the story, it will look cleaner. Just my opinion tendered with full respect.

Thanks for writing!

Very good story! Love the way you have it progressing. Can't wait too see what happens next. Keep 'em coming little brother.

Please tell Booto gethis brain back in gear. We fans need the next chapter of his story!love you. Chrissy

Poor Minnie...but at least she got a wake up call and is heeding it! You would think Snape would catch on the more he tries to nail Harry and Neville the more he himself is caught and screwed with. Lol I laughed myself into tears about the bank stunt. My question is will Dumbledore and Snape ever learn jumping to conclusion without even checking with a simple detection spell first lol.

I love it! Awesome job. Thank you for my Birthday Wish. What a beautiful thing to do.

Love Sissy

Great chapter, I love how things are picking up and your writing is more smooth in this chapter. Keep it up.

You misspelled Lily's name. It is not Lilly. Also, numbers lower than 10 are supposed to be spelled out.

That Gravel clan is sooooo going to hate Harry, Neville and all house nothing else the goblins will have multiple refreshers classes on spells for cleaner air. Haha I can just see Bloodbringers face when Luna gave him a hug and a kiss. Goblins are betters what do you bet that they are racking up the galleons on just how long the Gravel Clan can withstand house elf machinations lol.

Minerva seems to be flip flopping all over the place...one minute she is with Filius standing with Harry and trying to protect him and the girls from Dumbledore then days later she is preparing to run to Dumbledore and Snape to tell all on Harry, she really needs to make up her mind and stick with it. If this is what the four of them gave come up with and it has only been less that two months can you just imagine what the rest of the school year is going to be like?

Love it. It's rough waiting though. Love you!

You would think as they are bonded they would be able to get an apartment or rooms to themselves. I see both Minerva and Dumbledore stepping in about Nevilles new look...though I doubt they can do anything about it.

So Hermione and Luna might be underage teenagers but oh my god do not get in their way of protecting Harry lol. I'm really surprised that the Dursleys were so stupid as to fall right into the routine starting with calling Harry a freak. I also noticed that all the neighbours interviewed all noticed the beating and described it ...but not one of them called it in to get help for Harry. I'm also glad to see that you portray Xeno as a good man that is putting on a front to cause people to underestimate him, I have a feeling their is also more to the Quibbler that quirky stored and far fetched tales isn't it? Good chapter look forward to more soon!
