Great chapter, had not realized these 'surprise' tests would happen. Nice to see further derivation
from plot.

Okay, so, who's posessing Hagrid?

JBern replied:

The crumple horned snorkacks of course!

Hmm, Does Imperious work on Half Giants?

Very interesting.

Thank you for updating.

More soon, please.

JBern replied:

Good question.   The answer is coming soon...

Glad you enjoyed it.~Jim

JBern replied:

Can't say whether or not the Horcruxes will appear.   That's a long way down the road.

JBern replied:

Malfoy would seem like a likely suspect wouldn't he?~Jim

Hi, Jim,

I read in a reply to another, that the 6 contestants were trapped and no one else. This didn't quite make sense to me... The ones who dropped out have to sit on stage still? That sucks. Not even a little Hershey's kiss waiting for them back at the chairs? Would a dementor like to eat some?

So I thought some champions would be out, and that Hagrid at least would be in. He did jump up on stage....

Anyhow, I hope there's an explanation to how that happened included in the next chap.

Anyhow, as I said before, great stuff.

Peace-
-Rijl

JBern replied:

Yes they had to return to their chairs.   Perhaps I'll have some chocolate waiting for him.

Explanations will be forthcoming.~Jim

...

Not too awful...

NOT TOO BLOODY AWFUL!!!

That was absolutely evil. For the sake of my sanity, update soon please...

Later,

JBern replied:

I had some people saying that the end of chapter 12 was a cliffhanger.   I felt the need to educate them on what a cliffhanger actually is.

Chapter 14 by months end.~Jim

Aww man, you're killing me! I'm gripping me mouse in horror and then you go and tell me I have to wait for the next chapter!??

JBern replied:

Let the mouse go.   Your hand will cramp.   Good things come to those who wait.~Jim

Thanks for the great chapter. I do hope you will illuminate Hagrids mental processes for us. W.

JBern replied:

There's an explanation.   It's pretty wild if you ask me.~Jim

JBern replied:

Chapter 14 will be out by the end of the month.   Glad you liked the story.~Jim

I don't usually complain about cliffhangers, but that one was a bitch.

JBern replied:

I don't recall any female dogs or wolves in the final scene.   :-)

Next chapter coming soon.~Jim

Awesome man, superb :D I must admit, I do love cliffhangers :D

Once knew an author that ended every single chapter 'cept the first and last of her stories with a cliffy - one of the best damn stories I ever read :)

A good cliffhanger is an awesome idea :D

"Make 'em cry, make 'em laugh and make 'em wait - exactly in that order"

JBern replied:

I try to space out my cliffhangers and use them for effect.   This one seems to have generated the desired effect quite well.   Glad you enjoyed it.   TML 7 is up next, but I'll be back to this one shortly.~Jim

RE: someone in a review

>>I say ten to one it wasn't Hagrid. Polyjuice, I imagine.<<

More likely it was Hagrid, under Imperious.

JBern replied:

Quite possibly, but expect a twist somewhere.

Can the trapped champions use Fleur's hair and some wood from the platform as a wand?

Noted.   Thanks for the corrections.   I'll incorporate them into the next version.~Jim
