Luna was likely irritated because the professors had instantly thought that she had cheated/Harry had told her instead of believing that she figured it out on her own. If I was in her shoes, I'd be quite irritated as well.Hmm... Does anyone have any ideas on why Luna was irritated? The only reason I can think of is that she is lying, but that doesn't make much sense to me.
Bingo!Great chapter, as usual. Moody's class was quite fun.

I hadn't thought about that as an option, but I suppose it could be, with Malfoy always referred to as quiet and keeping his mouth shut. It is a fairly radical departure from his previous characterization, but I just figured he'd had his loudmouth arrogance beat out of him at Durmstrang.No. But it does seem to hold a imperiused Malfoy. It's... possible, but who would possibly do such a thing, and why?
*snickers*Also, GOSH DARNIT WHO PUT HARRY'S NAME IN THE CUP?
Harry: "ONE. YEAR. I JUST WANT ONE YEAR OF PEACE AND QUIET!" (Heavy breathing) "... Alright. Whoever put my name in the Goblet... I will find you. And when I do...! Oh, I will visit upon you such horrors..."
Good call, I reckon you're right.I would like to note that the handwriting discussion may be a chekov's gun primed to fire next chapter.
"Accounting for Luna" sounds like a fic where Luna ends up becoming a Muggle accountant.To be fair, O don't think anyone can account for Luna.

She got into the field because Snorkacks are attracted to the scent of blond Certified Public Accountants. She stayed because of the bizarre and arcane rules. She is Luna Lovegood, and she'll do your taxes.I'd read it."Accounting for Luna" sounds like a fic where Luna ends up becoming a Muggle accountant.To be fair, O don't think anyone can account for Luna.
The Department of International Magical Cooperation is under the British Ministry of Magic, formerly headed by Barty Crouch Sr. France mostly likely has an equivalent branch in their Ministry, but the one referred to here is the British one.Madame Maxine must be somewhat nervous if she heard about Professor Lupin. Is International Cooperation a Ministry Branch/ organization, or a European one? She herself is half-giant, and she keeps that very quietly to herself for a reason. And her school's champion is part-veela. If it is a European organization,even if he is a werewolf removing Professor Lupin after a year with no incidents would be worrying for the Beaubaxtons.
Slytherin will likely support Malfoy, with a few outliers dissenting, because with the way Malfoy threw his weight around, he probably made a few enemies in Slytherin while he was at Hogwarts. Gryffindor is bound to be behind Harry, probably even more solidly than in canon. Here, there is no Age Line, so Harry didn't "cheat" to get in, and he's not getting special treatment as the Fourth Champion. I can certainly see some resentment on the part of the Seventh Years who were passed over, but they'll likely get over it.Harry Potter the Gryffindor, Hogwarts Champion. Yeah, a lot of Slytherins will be supporting Durmstrang just to spite Harry, and to support the Malfoys. Harry's reaction of surprise, (and him swearing) if noticed will point out that he did not expect, nor want this. He has also been more visible in not being a show off, so his work with those outside his house might make for Ravenclaws, and Hufflepuffs to support Gryffindor, maybe not. Any thoughts here?
Beauxbatons is going to stand with Beauxbatons. I can't really see Harry doing anything to draw their support away from Fleur, unless she gets seriously injured and is no longer able to compete. On a personal level, Millicent may support Harry, but while he got her out of the situation she was in, Fleur helped improve the new situation Millicent found herself in, and that can't be understated. Publically, Millicent will support Fleur, both as school spirit and supporting her new friend, but also because she doesn't want to be seen publically close and supporting Harry. Privately, Millicent is going to root against Malfoy, and would count either a Fleur or Harry win as a success as long as Malfoy gets ground into the dirt.Not sure where the Beauxbatons will stand, but Millicent is capable of giving support to Harry, and she is a former Slytherin. As it is, they are sitting with Gryffindor, perhaps to be as far away as possible from the Slytherins. There are advantages for the Head Girl to have insider information, even if out dated. I am fairly sure that Millicent did not give all the details to Fluer on why she left Hogwarts, there is standing up to people, but what was happening was very... Yeah, it was not simple bullying.
I don't think Fleur is going to see any additional backlash from the Slytherins over supporting Millicent. After all, she's already French and a half-veela. She clearly wasn't worth much to begin with, it's no surprise she associates with a traitor like Millicent. As for her veela heritage being known, I'd say she doesn't go around shouting it to the skies, but she didn't seem to have any problem with admitting that her wand had a hair from her grandmother as its core in canon, so it's hardly something she hides. Not to mention her veela allure would make it difficult to hide even if she were inclined to keep it secret.How much of a back-lash does everyone thing the Delacours will get for supporting Millicent? Because some of the more, fanatic, Slytherins have shown not to care one whit about consequences. Add in Fluer is the Beauxbaton champion... How well known is the veela heritage? I can think of several vicious activities that information could fuel, especially if Gabrielle, who isn't as capable of defending herself is also at Hogwarts.

Well, from a storytelling standpoint, Viridian wouldn't have brought Millicent back unless something was going to happen with her. From an in-universe standpoint, the Slytherin's aren't likely to immediately target Fleur. Remember, as of right now, the Slytherin's aren't really aware that Millicent is back, because she doesn't look the same, if nothing else. Once they do realize she's back, the first incident is probably going to target Millicent alone. No reason to target the other students, other than they're French and the Slytherins are English, which some would argue is reason enough.. The reason I am worried about Millicent is that what was happening last year... The Slytherins behind are a) vicious, b) ruthless and c) have to prove that they are not to be ignored. It must have been a major loss of face that Millicent got away. Attacking the Delacours would be a continuation upon the focus of proving that "traitors don't getaway", hampers the Beauxbatons, (French), aids the Malfoys, and if the Veela heritage gets out an attack upon a non-pure blood witch. I don't think that it would take more encouragement to start making waves. I don't think that the Slytherins would need that much.
From his new fic Long Night of the HarvestDon't forget: Mass Effect is powered by magic space rocks. Evangelion is powered by Your Mom.
Most likely survivor's guilt coupled with massive paranoia.Why does Harry think that if he doesn't remember some small detail there's something going on? He never was the most observant chap. I mean, he didn't even know the names of every boy in his year when he was in his FIFTH year at Hogwarts!
Well, he could argue that not knowing things in time was a major cause of everything going to hell in the original timeline.That and perhaps a minor God complex. This Harry seems to completely hate not knowing what's going on which is why he continually laments that his need to change things means his foreknowledge becomes more useless.
Well he could have taken Barty Crouch Jr out of the equation I suppose - Oh, Wait...On a related note: I've had several reviewers castigate me because Harry didn't do anything to prevent his name coming out of the hat. What could he have done without tipping his hand?
