    Okay, I'm looking for a story and have been puzzling over it for a while so I'll list what I remember.

    Harry decides to go to Diagon Alley and while there acquires Grindelwald's wand. Gets back and gets the twins to teach him apparation, and also has them get all the back issues of Duelling Monthly or something to that effect, and enters this Dueling Tournament. Before he starts he works with his magical core, and then goes into the ring. I remember he fights Auror Dawlish, and uses a spell known as the Magnetic Orb Spell. He also knows a form of teleportation that allows him to move about 15 feet (what Dumbledore and Voldemort supposedly used in the ministry). The tournament took place in the Quidditch World Cup stadium. Near the end he goes nuts and kills tons of DEs at Privet Drive, and nearly gets arrested at Hogwarts, but bolts into the Gryffindor Common Room and locks it, putting runic and other wards on the Fat Lady's portrait. It keeps them out until Bill Weasley works on them, and then it's a game between them more or less.

    Hopefully this is enough information for someone to remember the title.

    I remember this I think. It was on hpfanfiction instead of ff right? At any rate I'm sorry to say I can't find it, but I'll look for it, it was a pretty good fic, I believe.

    The one where malfoy could teleport and harry can't so he tries to see the differences between him and malfoy and comes to the conclusion that he can teleport 'just because he is a damn wizard.' and harry was concentrating too much?

    Not pulling up much of anything on FF.Net, Ficwad, or HPFanfic. The four matches on FF.Net aren't it.

    Dammit I remember a little bit bout this one.He draws up a whole bunch of wards over Gryff common room.They sent Bill to break the wards since it's to strong, weaved so good together,they need a real cursebreaker.While he holds up in there he meets a stubborn girl in the common room,they have a quick banter between them both and a duel I think.He and Bill played games,while Bill taking down the wards, Harry is putting up new ones to hold up the ones that were taken down while bickering back and forth between the Portrait.After a while I think Dumbles convinced Harry to give up and he'll guarantee Harry a fair trial cause the Aurors wre gonna storm up there or he might face more serious charges.I think the Trial takes place at Hogwarts Quidditch Pitch.During the trial Fudge gets killed by Voldemort who appears with his DE's and tries to kill Harry and hell breaks.I think he was being escorted by Aurors to where ever he'd go and he pulled off an escape to the Gryffindor Common room when this all started.


    (A little Summary to add to Lord Ravenclaws).

    eh? if you can get the summary you don't need the title, thought the title would be a hell of a lot easier to use.

    No one's going to spank the boss for setting a bad example with a Looking for thread? Tsk tsk.

    The fic you're looking for was called "Harry Potter Year 6 WAR!" written by dude04. dude04 has a bad habit of giving up on fics and taking them down. This one got to like 15 chapters with Harry on trial in the Quidditch stadium, with a very amusing scene where the Weasley Twins kept score. Sadly it was taken down long ago. I've attached a chunk of it, if anyone's interested. Not sure the author's opinion on sharing, but this is a word doc with only the first 10 chapters.

    Aha. Thank you. It's really too bad he took it down, I was enjoying it.
