    What i like about this chapter is that it is like Gof but different. New champions, and hopefully new tasks. Keep up the good work..

    I liked the update. This is the first fic that I ever read in which Harry is Crouch's son. I can't wait until the sceens afters the tournament. I like the fact that the author is trying to create an original plot for Harry's time at Hogwarts. To often authors simply rewrite canon and only change a few sceens.

    Hey. Very good story. I think it's a very original idea and well written. The only downside so far, is Harry's strict character. More Marauder like would be better. But I give it 4/5 stars anyway. I hope it is updated soon.

    Original plot for a post POA fic, that's the word i was looking for, harry does seem like a brainwashed soldier though, he's fourteen, he needs to lighten the fuck up..

    Great job. It's totally original, well-written and entertaining to read. What more could I ask for?

    ...

    Maybe...an update?

    Anyways, I really liked it, and I hope that you update soon, because I'm looking forward to seeing what you have for the first task. But, has Barty Crouch Jr. been with Harry and Barty Sr. the whole time? I'm not sure, because it's been so long since I read this story in it's entirety...

    Keep it up and update soon.

    Presumably so, in answer to fuerza's question.

    Yes, the Tasks are going to be different, but similar in some aspects. They're proving to be a right pain in the bum...

    And yes, I'm trying to show Harry as a sort of... i don't know... polite and reserved in public, as well as a strictly conditioned agent in regards to his father right now. In other words, to borrow another's, a 'brainwashed soldier', although not to that extent. He's been through constant training and conditioning for the whole of his life, and has only had experience of adolescents or children his age starting in the Japanese academy- there was a slight flashback in chapter 4- but meh. That's a sorta-spoiler already.

    He'll start to lighten up and loosen up in the future, however. Signs of that are showing up when he interacts with friends... although there wasn't much of that in the latest chapter.

    If you haven't forgotten about Misato, there's some bits about that that will be in direct correlation to Harry's current mannerisms and attitude.

    I'm hoping to get the next chapter out to my beta by next week- although i can't make any promises. The First Task will come the chapter after that, or at least the bulk of it will.

    I won't answer anything about Jr. though, except that he will fit in to a major bit of the plot.

    Thanks for reading.
