Saberus9: hey I'm kinda writing again. I've gotta chapter for each story unfinished on my comp and I just lost interest for a while so here's a quickie.

Harry Potter and The Highly Flammable Foes

We start, my dear reader, with the prompt return of our hero from his 'Home' at number 4 Privet Drive to the school of his parents. Yes my friends, our Harry was returning to Hogwarts for his fourth year. But this was not where our story truly begins. This story truly began at towards the end of the 2nd year of Harry's story, and believe me reader if Harry had read the book on that year, he would have heeded Dobby's warnings far more readily. It was when he lay in the bed in the infirmary blood flooded with the magic in Fawkes' tears and that Basilisk's Venom that some old and primal Magiks were awakened within him, Magiks of a very certain nature that he would not find out about until his fourth year. And as you know dear reader, any Magik is far more powerful than any mere magic. I mean look at the k on the end, for Pete's sake.

Regardless of the use of k and c, Harry had arrived at the station and was preparing to board the train when a thought struck him. Why not review the previous years spells our hero thought. He knew that in all of his adventures over the past few years many simple school spells came in handy. He promptly forgot when he was interrupted by his friends but was reminded again when a book fell on his head as he tried to put up his trunk in the compartment. After going through a review of his older notes a tiny idea came up in his head. And with a smile on his face, he sat through a sorting, a feast and a whole month of potions sessions much to the annoyance of Snape and Malfoy.

It wasn't until the end of the month that he found a place for his idea to take shape. He had been pacing back and forth on the seventh floor, thinking about his idea and how he needed a place for it when a door appeared that he had never seen before. Plucking up all of his Gryffindor courage, he opened it only to be driven to tears; this place was perfect for his needs. After that things passed rather quickly for Harry, he was training, Ron was being a gimp, Hermione was ranting something about House Elf vomit and Dobby had forced Harry to make both Winky and himself into bound Elves for house Potter. Eventually though things got bad, some kind of contest was set up not that Harry actually cared until his name was called as a contestant.

He met the other champions, a guy named Victor Krum who was pretty cool and rather friendly, this Hufflepuff guy who worked hard and had the most amazing sideburns he had ever seen, and lastly some chick who was rather hot but became a major turn off when she called him a little boy. After this little meeting Ron became a complete douche, pretty much everyone turned on him and Hermione was being stalked by Krum until Harry set him straight. Krum and Hermione were a pretty good couple but they kept it a secret.

So, Dear readers, Harry's plot sprang to fruition as his training continued. He also sued the plot for slander and misquotation as Rita Skeeter quoted him despite not ever interviewing him. The first task grew closer and closer as Harry ignored almost everything but his training. When the day eventually came, neither Hogwarts champion knew what was going on. Harry wished the unpleasant Hufflepuff luck and waited to fight the Horntail. He exited the tent when he was called and calmly walked towards the dragon. It suddenly breathed a large blast of fire seemingly incinerating the boy-who-lived as a startled crowd looked on with mouths agape in horror. When the smoke cleared, they saw him in burnt clothing walking away from the dragon, egg in hand and completely unharmed. Harry got the highest score and the shortest time as the crowd crowed their approval.

Harry took about three days to work out the secrets of the egg. Ron tried to be his friend again but he didn't give a crap. When news of the Yule ball came around, Harry briefly considered asking Cho Chang but then decided that Romilda Vane would be a better choice. The poor girl was practically pining for him. Ron took Luna Lovegood and Nevile took Ginny. It was on the day of the ball when Hermione revealed her relationship with Krum. The Champions danced, Romilda proved to be a fantastic date, Luna had a dance with Harry, Ron and Hermione argued about breadcrumbs or something while Harry, Krum and the Hufflepuff champion had a good yarn about seekermanship in general. Overall Harry had a great time and decided to take Romilda on a date. At first she was fangirlish but after she found out that she wasn't dreaming she became far more bareable.

The second task was rather easy for Harry, he just went underwater and appeared a few minutes later with his arms laden with women. He was very embarrassed by this however as he was only trying to save his girl. Needless to say, Harry won that task too. Harry got a lot of trouble from the other students for that. Strangely enough the Gryffindors closed ranks tighter than any Hufflepuff had ever done. Any attempt to bully Harry was met with unspeakable retaliations.

It was on the third task however that Harry revealed his true skills. After getting to the cup first and in only fifteen minutes, Harry was portkeyed to a graveyard and Voldemort was resurrected. It was when Voldemort challenged him to a duel, that Harry showed him the spell he had been training on for months. Harry grinned as he lifted his wand with a flourish and spoke a single word.

"Incendio"
