    Hell, if the thread is already exhumed...

    Someone mentioned Harry's Parseltongue ability in the beginning, and it was discarded, but I think it's one of the greatest advantages he could have there. That is, if there are snakes in the forest.

    He could send them to spy on rivals, to kill them if necessary (wouldn't Slytherins getting murdered by snakes be ironic?), to guide him around the forest, and alert him to danger. With enough snakes under his command, he could might as well win without ever using his wand.

    But since he's a pussy he'd probably use the Draught of Living Death to fake his rivals' deaths.

    The most realistic answer to this is rebellion. The kids haven't killed, Harry's the one who's come closest, and he's definitely not a murderer. Not even against Death Eaters, some of whom are conceivably confirmed killers.

    On the other hand, if someone managed to convince Harry that he was doing the right thing...there's nothing as terrible as a villain who thinks he's in the right.

    Oh, and if it comes down to survival, Harry'd probably win. Luna may turn out Yandere, but Harry's like a fucking cockroach sometimes.

    Ekhem. Quirrell. Harry's not a murderer, but he's a killer. A shame JK pussied out in DH.

    Absolutely. Even if he didn't use an AK, spells like the Blasting or Reductor curse can be fatal too, if used in the right circumstances. It's a fucking miracle he didn't get a single kill in the fight over Little Whinging, to begin with.

    Also, I've apparently posted in this thread before. I stand by my earlier point. Harry knows where Aragog's lair is. Ron has his dad's Anglia. Hermione, er...convinces Grawp that she's his favourite human? That'd be a fight I'd read.

    Death Eaters vs Harry and Friends (acromantulas, a giant, a sentient car...). Sounds like a good idea. Who knows, maybe I'll give it a go.

    In general, this situation is like "Marriage Law" fic but even stupider. Congratulations for inventing something like that!

    It mostly depends on how magical binding exactly works.

    Most would probably focus on fixing entire situation. It may end quite interesting, for example with selected ones unable to leave Forest till only one lives - therefore they end living there.

    Maybe some would die at start, but who would be willing to murder others in this situation? The only viable way would be Draco attacking Hermione, Ron attacking Draco and then entire situation escalating but any way it would end with group of people completely unwilling to continue.

    Especially as Ministry and basically entire society would crush Umbridge on discovering what happened and nobody would want to explain why they murdered others during this insanity.

    Also - wtf, who is Marcus Belby?

    Some Claw who almost choked on Sluggie's chicken on the train in HBP. IIRC his uncle invented the Wolfsbane Potion.
