Because just like Ron with Hermione, even though he likes/wants her, he's also afraid of her, or afraid of his feelings toward her. Snape was in love with Lily, right, but never acted on it, or maybe never got a chance to after the name-calling incident around the time they'd be thinking romantical thoughts, but I felt like he was afraid of his feelings as well.

And to me, Harry literally turning into a big, hairy pussy (as opposed to the metaphorical dripping one he became in canon) would be funny indeed, as would him turning into Ron's orange dick in front of Hermione.

 

Maybe the cunt being framed with a classic no entry sign? You know, the red circle with the diagonal bar through it? 'Cause his fear would probably be something like being rejected when he comes out about the feelings or whatever.

Or would have considering shes been dead for 1x years.

 

How would people react to a TWT do over?

Since fake-Moody's cheating got discovered Dumbledore is bombarded with letters from other Headmasters, who try to convince him do the right thing and follow the rules of the tournament. Fudge, who doesn't want to believe that Voldemort is back sees this as an opportunity to get rid of Dumbledore for a while, so does Lucius who's the governor of the school board. Both give the go-ahead and Dumblodore has absolutely no say in the matter. Tri wizard tournament goes to Drumstang, Dumbledore is stuck there since the headmasters are magicaly compelled to stay where the tournament is held (or something) and can't fight back to Voldemort/ bring back the Order.

Harry has to give back the money he won which now comes straight from his vault since the money he invested in the Weasleys is now spent (not that he could demand it back or anything). So he finds his vault relatively empty to the point that he doesn't know if he would be able to pay for his school supplies next year.
He is also in a pinch since Drumstang does everythng old-school and every competitor is forced to relinquish their most prized (and rare) magical posession, so people can't submit brooms or remembralls and shit like that. Every champion submits one artifact and the winner gets all along with the monetary prize. Harry naturally has to give away his fathers cloak and finds himself competing in the tournament not just to survive but to win and secure his wealth and legacy. Let's see what a little motivation can make a guy do, huh...

Voldemort is plotting in England, with no Order/Dumbledore to stand in his way and making plans to sabotage the tournament, all covert of course.

It'll have to stretch cannon a little to bring Fleur and Krum back to school but it could work, right?

 

Why would he have to give back the gold if they are still doing the tournament? He wouldn't have won the money yet. Unless you mean a new tournament, which I think the rules state that it can only be held everywhere 3/4/5 years or something. (I don't remember if the every few years thing is canon or fanon)

 

I meant that because Harry recieved external help even without his knowledge the outcome of the tournament is declared null and void. So the other headmasters demand a redo of the tournament in Harry's fifth year. As for the rules stating tha the tournament should only be held every so many years... well the previous one was declared void so it's as if it never took place.

 

If last TWT is null and void, then Harry doesn't need to participate.

 

The idea is that he needs the money.

 

Or that he is forced to participate, like all the other champions except for Cedric who is dead. It's a do-over, the same champions but no meddling (in theory).

 

The do-over should also force Dumbledore to act sooner on his plan,informing Harry about the prophecy and Voldermort`s past.

Seeing that the TWT takes place in another school, then you can concentrate more of the story on the Harry/Dumbledore mentor/student relationship.

And of course this means new tasks, and you have to create the whole Drumstang school, because it`s easy to make Drumstang a Hogwarts copy.

 

So since Cedric is dead, would they just make Harry the Hogwarts Champion? I assume they would, but you never know.

 

Indeed, you can never know for certain what fictional, non-existing characters will do, especially under duress.

[/sarcasm]

 

I actually meant what the author was planning. I mean the first idea was to make Harry participate for the money, which it may just be me, but that idea seems a little odd, I mean I think that if Harry was that hard up for money that he would keep the prize money.

You could work it in the following way:

The Goblet of Fire stays lit until the termination of the TWT; it extinguishes to signal the formal conclusion of the event and associated magically binding contract. The three Headmasters join to terminate the contest (Karkaroff flees, so his deputy stands in his stead).

However, because of Crouch Jr.'s meddling, the Goblet lights again immediately: it turns out it can only truly expire when the Headmasters/Headmistress (or their duly appointed successor, in the case where one or more dies) for all the schools perform the ceremony to terminate the event. To enter Potter, Crouch Jr. set himself up as Headmaster of the fictitious school. As he had no successor, after receiving the Dementor's Kiss, he left nobody to participate in the ceremony. Hence, the contest stays open and could, potentially, remain so indefinitely (or until they work out how to destroy the Goblet without harming the Champions).

The letter of the TWT contract stipulates that the events the first year would be prosecuted at Hogwarts. The next time the Goblet is lit, the TWT would be held at Durmstrang during the next academic year, then Beauxbatons, etc. While new champions could be selected from the other schools' student bodies, Harry is the only champion from Crouch's fictitious school; no matter what, his name will be drawn and he will be entered into the tournament.

 

I would have no idea how I would resolve the problem with Crouch except that since Harry would be his only student he would have to participate untill he graduates and the school would be disbanded. Also doing this would force me to create a bunch of annoying OCs that I don't think anyone will like. It would be best to force all the old champions to partcipate again since we know a little about them.

 

Every idea of yours is golden. WRITE MOAR.

 

Hmm, I honestly don't see it working without an EPIC amount of OCs, maybe you could enlighten me.

 

I've been pondering on an idea to get me out of the writing slump I am in...

Blame the idea on the recent buyout of Marvel Ent. by Disney.

A HP/Thor crossover. 6th year fic

The Marvel story is that Odin trapped Thor's essence(whatever) within the body of Dr. Don Blake to learn humility. Black stumbles across Thor's hammer and *poof* he can switch back and forth into a god. We assume he's learned a moderate amount of humility from the years of seeing through Blake's eyes (pardon me if I am screwing up the comic line plot) So, Thor's not a complete ass when he pops out to become a super hero.

Here's my take: Odin banishes (pre-humble) Thor into the body of Harry Potter at some point. Thor is pissed and skull-fucks Voldemort's horcrux out of Harry's head, thus replacing it.

With me so far?

Now at this point Thor uses the connection the Horcrux had to influence Harry. (Remember how Harry gains parseltongue ability from its influence, supposedly?)

How do I keep it from going Super!Harry. Easy. No Hammer. But Harry is able to acquire some "golden apples"... maybe... for a power up which he uses to fuck with, oh pretty much everyone. Over the course of the story Harry will come into a few influenced Thor!abilities .

Thor gives him "urges." Womanizer!Harry, MeadSwilling!Harry, Arrogant!Harry, Never-back-down-from-a-fight!Harry, etc. Have Thor in the background commenting throughout the story, but Harry not really being able to hear him. Eventually Thor will be able to talk to him and Harry will find out what's actually happening.

End the story with Harry finding the Hammer and pwning Voldemort. (squish)

 

Well, it might be because I don't know the comic, be it seems to me that it's a very elaborate idea for no good reason. Crossovers tend to be if you don't use both of the stories, and as the Thor aspects only change Harry's personality [as he can't communicate with him] he is useless to the plot - and thus irrelevant.

Is it possible to incorporate more Thor elements into the story?

 

Possible? But of course. By elements I assume you mean bad guys or plot lines, since I've already said that...

and

But after rereading that I think I misrepresented the idea, my apologies. Thor talking to Harry but not being able to be heard would become a boring plot device rather quickly. So it needs to happen after a chapter or two.

Bad guys? Loki? Overused. I'll search for something more interesting.
