really nice job, the story plot is briliant. I liked the fact that Hermione and Harry though 'together' are not madly in love with each other and engaged, yet. I really don't see that happening (for Harry yes) for Hermione, she will need time to get all this organised.
I liked the banner, and its signifiance.
What language was Harry speaking to teh Dragon (Dragonic+Parsel)
Who was Harry potion troubled friend.
Will Harry be more friendly with Luna and Neville, maybe a few slytherins who are light sided.
What of Dumbles (manipulative?) how did Harry convince Dumbles to let him have time off before the first task?
anyway congrats and update soon, i look forward to more of this.
