It took me more than a week of research and continuous writing, but here it is: the Third Task of the European Magical Tournament.

A very big chapter, I'm proud to say, since it has reached the threshold of 20K. Yeah, it is not a certain story, but it grew fast...

All right, onwards brave Champions, it is time to cheat...

Perfect news to have something good to look forward to at the end of the work day!

James Smy

Another great chapter!

Lee Shilo

Audacious! Bravo!

Good lord, there is some Marauder's talent in Alexandra...

If her father was alive and sane he would be so proud. And please, I need Eleanor to be okay next chapter. I know she's a champoin of innocence but by the camps of mordor that kind of betrayal from a man that, in the end, ran for his life, should not be tolerated. And Neville, the little shit, he still doesn't understand Alexandra is the real hero. He's gonna think Fed and George betrayed Alex or something.

The basic substances of the material world according to the Chinese 'Theory of the Five Elements' are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. Note that an 'air blast' does not qualify... I think.

Hmm, The dark won this round i think or at least this "victory" doesn't loose them anything, sure it would have been nice if nobody touched the Sun Throne but the Plan is still going, obviously they planned this well enough to account for this. But i guess Ra is too used to Fate winning the day for them... something tells me that is Key, Fate must be weak (as Implied when they showed Fate's Realm) but i don't have enough information to guess the outcome.

A very amusing chapter. I don't think I could have anticipated the cheating methods without more hints and I will look forward to more cheating shenanigans. It is slightly disappointing that no one died. Some that lived through this challenge deserve death. And some that nearly died deserve vengeance. Though it would be hilarious if Montague somehow managed survive the Tournament by continuing to get eliminated at the start by sheer incompetency as if he was Jar Jar Binks. And it looks like the True plan of Exchequer to weaken Fate even more worked here. Here are some edits you might want to include: pg 29 there wouldn’t be [+anything] left of you pg 31 “I don’t think your girlfriend would [-ask +like] that.” pg 32 You will be [-easily] able to exit [+easily] pg 33 while [-no +not] permanent pg 34 learning [+that] Fingolfin had a crazy addiction to this concoction had been [-trouble +troublesome] pg 34 my Mistress [-forgave +forbid] me to taste it since the last incident pg 36 That he could say that without lying told really [-, really bad things] [+badly] how the Third Task had not gone according to the plan. pg 38 I don’t want to [+see them] pg 42 What[+! Why] did you never tell me it was a possibility pg 45 far more dangerous [+than] the jade Dragon could ever be

That was a great chapter! Man, Neville for all his character growth seems to go back to 'its all about me' when it's easier. The info that our champion of Chaos dropped on the Elder Dragons is really interesting, and it explains how the Stature of Secrecy was cast over the entire world, and it's obvious that Osiris's use of the Seals is going to do something on a similar scale, which is going to be...interesting. The fact that she didn't know that some dragons could talk...that was an interesting, and getting laughed at by her patron was amusing. I wonder what the judges will think about Alexandria's strategy. It was very audatious, but it wasn't exactly within the spirit of the rules. Hmm, Ra's really showing he doesn't like to be questioned. Despite trying to show a 'mentor-like' relationship with Dumbledore, when Dumbledore contradicted him he was very much "Remember who great I am!". I think Dumbledore is starting to see through the facade, and as much as bastard the 'odds-verse' Dumbledore is, its interesting to see his thoughts. I do hope that Elanore is alright next chapter. And the fact that Neville thinks 'Champion like me' refers to animagi is...sad.

But, Mr. Dragon, the Tang dynasty exists from the 600s to the 900s, surely such a wise and old being such as you knows that Europe had long left the caveman age by then?

A few random thoughts on the chapter. First, I was very surprised by the accuracy of the trebuchets. They are firing from outside of a very large arena into an area that has been subjected to space expansion charms and they are coming within meters of their targets. I wonder if they sneaked in magic to improve the accuracy somehow. I'm also surprised the wards didn't stop this from working. Second, Lyudmila proves that her insanity is not an act. There was a lot she could have done to win her way past the dragon. Instead she launched a futile frontal assault because it had angered her. Her madness is real and thus a real weakness. Third, the scoring is going to be interesting. I suspect that in this case the winner on points and the winner on time is going to be different. My prediction, the judges will score 10 points for each brewing phase, 10 points for each challenge phase, 10 for general performance, and 10 for the throne. Since Alexandra skipped three brewing phases her maximum score is 70 but they will count her down on general performance for skipping brewing and on the first challenge phase for not doing anything herself. So her total score will be around 60. I think Neville and Lyudmilla have a good chance of earning more points then that. Last of all, I am confused by what Ra thought had happened at the end. He was celebrating like Osiris' plan had been foiled, but why? Does he really think the Exchequer's entire scheme depending on keeping anyone from touching the light throne? They might have staved off disaster but that isn't the same as having won. So what does he think has happened? Thanks for all your hard work!

After rereading this chapter a couple times, I have questions on how did Frode Falk get past the 1st and 2nd obstacles and how Cedric Diggory get past the first. These 2 characters aren't renown for their potion abilities, the 1st obstacle looked really hard and it got a chaos buff from Romanov.

The fallout promises to make me laugh almost as hard as Romanov… does it seem like Alexandra and Romanov could be “friends” if Romanov got over herself a little?

For the scoring, one important point: “For this Task you are to be graded on your resourcefulness and your skill in the noble art of Potions!” It's the resourcefulness part that will get her a lot of points, and she did demonstrate brewing... cinnamon-flavored alchemical sugar is not easily found, any dragon will tell as much.

I'm a bit late to the conversation. However, I have to say I loved this chapter! But did you have to leave off where you did? I am really looking forward to the next chapter. What are the two courts going to look like? What score will Alexandra receive? So many questions and I have to wait for all the answers!
