A wonderful escape. I once read a fic where Harry used Polyjuice, but in that one, he gave it to Dudley and bribed the Dursleys. Dudley would drink the stuff and then go out to the front garden for an hour each day, before he was finally caught by Remus. Dudley said: "Well, I guess the game is up!"
The magic suppression potion was a nice new touch. It stands to reason that he'd have to conceal his magical signature, but I think you are the first to think of it. Most authors, especially of the 'Harry in Azkaban' genre, use either the wand(smoking gun) or the magical signature and play on the magical world's infinite stupidity, Fudge's greed, and antique laws of evidence.
Now, how will the ministry track magic usage? Through the same kind of tracking charm or by one on his wand? If the wand, how will Harry remove it? (Note: I understand in the muggle world the laws in France are somewhat different than in England. Calais is only a couple hours away by the tunnel train. I used that in a fic which unfortunately, is currently in cyber-limbo, due to a start-up error on a Win-2000 machine. If i reload the comp, I lose everything on it. Le Sigh!
I eagerly await the next page of 'Black Vengeance'. Alorkin

I think you are referring to Potter's Resistance by IP82. It is an excellent piece - pity it has been more or less abandoned.
Ministry can simply tell where a magic has been performed, not who performed it, I think. Personally, I think tracking charms are illegal unless approved by a court order (or its equivalent in the wizarding world). So, Harry has to be tracked by the charm put by Dumbledore.
Harry is playing his game to a timetable - he will learn some interesting news from his allies and that will change things
Thanks for the encouragement, and thanks for reading and reviewing. The next chapter is online now.
