i know this hasnt been updated in over 10 years, but PLEASE keep writing. i am enjoying this story a lot.

this better not be the last cycle through time and bill better survive next time around.

its not necessarily that people ship dan radcliffe and emma watson, more that people ship harry and hermione, and since dan and emma played those two characters in the movies, they names hermione's parents after them, since they were never given canon names.

It’s clear from this chapter that the Goblet of Fire is ONLY binding upon the champions for sure, and maybe the heads of the schools. Mensa was not under the DoM’s wards when he/she interfered with Harry’s arrow, and the Goblet didn’t react.

The Goblet is not what people think it is. From the observable facts, it is a tool for enslaving people against their will, and binding their actions. Harry didn’t enter his own name, after all. And the people who lit the Goblet can, by unanimous agreement, alter the rules it enforces at any time.

This means if Harry or Hermione can get at it at the end of the tournament, they could use it like the Tantalus Device from the classic Star Trek episode Mirror, Mirror to destroy almost anyone they wanted, and certainly do so to Tom Riddle - if a mere scrap of handwriting is enough of a link, then Tom’s diary, even after the basilisk fang, would be even better. Bind Tom to never use or benefit from dark magic and he’d die permanently, horcruxes or not, on the spot. Bind Dumbledore to actually be as light and good as he pretends. Bind anyone who has ever signed a document in the Ministry to be incirruptible and perfectly enforce every law equally. The list of possibilities is endless.

The Goblet of Fire might not have noticed while Harry was under DoM wards, but as soon as he stepped out, Unspeakables should have started losing their magic. Harry is bound to the Govlet, and HE knows the DoM interfered. Even if it couldn’t get to the Unspeakables through the wards, it would start chewing on and degrading those wards until it could.

If the Goblet’s enforcement is so easily stymied, then any wizard capable of casting a Fidelius could assassinate champions, rig events, etc, as much as they wanted.

Why the soul fragment could get through Lily’s protection is obvious. It doesn’t affect souls. If it did, Harry burning Voldemort out of Quirrel in book 1 would have killed Voldemort too, rather than just chasing him away.

The bit about neither can live while the other survives doesn’t require much, if any interpretation. Live and survive have many similar meanings, but they are not synonymous. If you lived through something, you must have survived it, but live has additional possible meanings - no one ever survives life to the fullest, but they do live life to the fullest.

Each of the two will try to live their lives as they desire, but their goals are incompatible, to the point that if one is living life to the fullest, the other cannot. Neither will tolerate being denied their goals, and therefore, neither can live while the other survives.

Regarding your end note on souls, any sacrificial ritual provides power based on the value of what is sacrificed - and NOTHING provides more power than a soul. With that in mind, the fact that wizards like Tom Riddle could decide that souls are just worthless fluff, to be thrown away on a whim, boggles the mind. If they were truly worthless and useless, lost forever at death, they wouldn’t be worth so much in rituals!

There’s a simpler explanation for time turners - their world has only one timeline. If you time travel successfully, it’s because you always did so. If you hadn’t always done so, the attempt would fail - maybe you slipped, fell and broke the time machine, or lost it, and by the time it was found or working again, you were outside the maximum window for your target, so you didn’t time travel. Paradoxes are impossible, because whatever present you live in was caused by the time travel people have always done. Remember, they’re not omniscient, and cannot know every variable.

Regarding your end note, the Unforgivables really do seem pretty lackluster, for how illegal they are. So eithere there’s more they’re doing beyond the obvious, or they affect the caster in some nasty way, or both. Like Dresdenverse Laws of Magic - the Laws aren’t there just to protect others, they protect the caster from turning into a mobster too.

Take the Killing Curse for example. An instantaneous painless death, by itself, shouldn’t be Unforgivable. But what if it’s killing the soul, so the target has no afterlife, and/or conditioning the caster to see murder as the optimal first resort for all problems? That would be illegal for good reasons!

The Imperius Curse doesn’t do anything a clever caster couldn’t do with Obliviation - it’s just Imperius does it instantly in one shot, while doing it with Obliviation would probably take at least a dozen castings. But what if it conditioned the caster to regard all others as slaves, and to prefer Imperius over even the most basic persuasion? Someone with that conditioning would very quickly enslave everyone around them. Given the way Obliviation can mimic the Imperius, if it weren’t so necessary to the Statute of Secrecy, Obliviation would probably be Unforgivable too!

Of the three, Cruciatus is the least evil, but also the easiest to use. Killing Curses require absolute hatred, Imperius requires a desire to enslave, knowing what slavery is - but Cruciatus just requires a desire to take vengeance or cause pain for the sake of causing pain. Not justice, vengeance.

Two aurors attempting to infiltrate the Death Eaters? I may be a tad suspicious, but I find myself wondering - did Dumbledore know about the infiltration attempts, and did Snape uncover them to Voldemort, to secure his own position?

One of the odd quirks of the apprentice-journeyman-master system the Wizarding World runs on, is there are certain requirements to attain a Mastery. Among them is that the potential Master MUST demonstrate both an ability to teach and a willingness to. So the fact Snape has a Potions Mastery means we know he CAN teach properly - he just doesn’t want to. But here’s the thing - if a Master accepts a student, but demonstrates an unwillingness to teach, that Master can be stripped of their Mastery. Journeyman Snape has a nice ring to it - and it would become reality if someone were to submit a memory of Snape’s “teaching” style to the Potioneer’s Mastery Board that granted Snape his Mastery in Potions!

Hagrid was also segregated to himself. Wand unjustly snapped and kicked out when obvious he wasn't behind the death. Death similar to a killing curse yet he's blamed due to his spider with no signs of such on or around her body. Nor would it have anything to do with anyone who turned to stone and they know he as a student couldn't of done that either. Since Dumbledore was released that was obviously handled yet both punishments stuck aside from jail time for having a dog sized pet spider that hurt no one.

Half giant with scum in charge who would never hire him and likely no parents he can rely on. His family connection seemed to only be his giant half which does him zero good.

A shack to his name given to him and a simple and easy to manipulate pawn to make use of as a beast of burden. Other teachers nice to him or don't bother with him because he's a nice guy and doesn't really bother anyone.

That's it. He's had no one to help or guide him as a parental figure or friend. Just left to do his own thing with what little he can do. Left uneducated, ignorant, and a useful tool.

I get depressed thinking about him and hate how rare a story even attempts to get Hagrid to legally have his wand back even if some 40 or 50 years after the fact.

For the authors note I go with being beaten down and miserable. Hard to muster the effort or study and such at home. Even the bit about getting punished for getting better grades than Duddley is believable.

Developing a habit of doing purposely half assing. Then meeting up with the leech Ron who pesters him into half assing and skiving off working. With only Hermione eventually there to counter Ron's influence. With Ron then taking advantage of her?

I don't question Harry's work ethic with that upbringing and influence.
