As I promised, dear readers, most (to not say all) of the current days of this week were spent on The odds were never in my favour.

Since the wonderful beta known as MasterQwerster did a superlative job beta-ing it in 24 hours top, you get directly the betaed chapter!

You can enjoy as such today the Chapter 114 of The odds were never in my favour, Return to the Coliseum!

Have a nice week-end!

(Announcements for the poll and more will likely come on Monday, thanks for your patience.)

I really liked that addendum you added to Montague's score point, (not deceased yet)

'19th ex-aequo: Graham Montague (not deceased yet),' The judges actually put that on the board for all to see? Oof

I’m guessing whatever lessons Neville learned during the last task haven’t stuck as well as they should. He’s young and the Nemean lion in him probably won’t stay down for long. But for his sake, I hope some lessons begin to stick. I was hoping Hogwarts might show a more united front, but that seems as if it will go over as well as a fart at a funeral. Poor Graham, he might have been able to score some points, but I hold out no hope that he can charm together a broomstick, and while he might be Slytherin and able to be sneaky by Hogwarts standards, he’s nowhere near as devious as other competitors in this competition.

I hope Cedric get his head out of his ass at some point, but yeah, I think I'm with Cho; Amos might need an eye kept on him. A very nice chapter! Thank you!

Alex is being pretty dang uncharitable to someone who was blatantly under mind control (Henri). I mean sure Neville hasn't been very repentant about anything so it's easier to be harsh on him, but Henri's only "screw-up" was not bailing ship when the Eleonora did and while I forget exactly why he didn't at this point, I think he did have a reason.

Thanks for the chapter. Things seem to be developing mostly as Alexandra hoped although I would really like to see her guess wrong about one of these tasks some day. That the brooms will be in pieces seems to be an entirely random guess. Since this is betad a couple of typos that jumped out at me. Frist, at one point Alexandra says, it has been "over a year since I hadn't damaged a cauldron." I believe that is supposed to be "had." Second, one of the new people is described as a king of prodigy. While that might be an unusual way of saying he is exceptional even among prodigies I suspect it is supposed to be kind of prodigy. Thanks for all your hard work!

Pity about Cedric, but everyone has their limits, for better or for worse. And family matters to a lot of people; even Alexandra went out of her way to help Dudley before she knew his attitude had gotten better. We'll see how far Cedric goes down this path. I do feel bad for Henri, but considering Alexandra's typical experiences with Light Champions, I can't really blame her for not giving him the benefit of the doubt. I'm curious if we'll see anymore of Henri going forward. More interesting developments, and I'm looking forward to the 'creative reinterpretation of the rules' that will occur during the next task. Thanks for the chapter.

Yep. A lot of people think that blood matters before ties. You will see more about Henri, I promise. Oh, I assure you, I'm doing to do my utmost so everyone loves the 'creative interpretation of the rules' that is going to make you die with laughter for the Fifth Task.

Lmao the scoreboard literally saying 'not deceased yet'

Bloody awesome chapter, love this whole story, recently reread it over my Christmas break from work. Was wondering how far through are we? As in, are we over half way through?

Antony444

Thanks! As for the progress in this story...we have largely entered the second half to be sure. How far exactly, however...it turned out Book 4 is far longer than I thought.
