Hello everybody, my name is Chris. I am from the great island nation of Down Under and I am first and foremost a Harry Potter writer (though I do hope to branch out a little with some plot bunnies in the future).

Reading is probably my oldest and still fondest of hobbies, which I realized recently I had been neglecting. After re-reading several old favourites I found myself once more bitten with the fanfic bug, resulting in me toning down the gaming and TV binging almost completely.

The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings were childhood favourites and have been thoroughly reread time and time again and, with the Star Wars saga, were likely the most important fiction series of my childhood.

I did attempt to read the first HP book during my early years in high school but it didn't resonate with me at the time. After taking OotP from my younger brother to encourage him to do his homework I read a few chapters and found myself now hooked. I then charged through the series again and now Harry Potter is one of my absolute favourite book series of all time.

Since starting to write fanfiction of my own after joining an HP specific forum in 2006 I have become enamoured with several newer series of books, though my current favourite author would have to be Matthew Reilly, a brilliant Aussie writer who has many books out that you should go and read right now.

You will find a great deal of Harmony in my stories as I am always and forever a Harry/Hermione shipper. I have always felt the connection between them was deeper and more meaningful than the others (not to mention the unlikeliness I find of R/Hr maintaining a marriage to each other for 19 years without a murder charge). As such most of my stories will deal with this pairing so I point out that if you find this idea unpalatable, perhaps my work is not for you.

Since joining here though, I have come to greatly enjoy a few other delightful pairings. Most still involve Harmony. A few superb FemHarry stories have found their way into my favourites due in no small part to the superb pairing with Hermione. And I've come to greatly enjoy Lunar Harmony as well as Harmony/Fleur. These really surprised me when I first encountered them, but have become some solid favourites.

You can also find my works under TyrannicPuppy on AO3. My Tumblr is harmony-heaven and my Twitter is Esby452 (I know, I couldn't settle on one). Though I am finding I more tend to enjoy reading on here so this is likely where you shall find most of my works (at least where they'll be posted first), though at present my works are identical on AO3 & FFN.

My Challenges:

Magical Bull in a China Shop - There were many frightening and dangerous creatures in the maze for the Triwizard Third Task. So what if Harry had knocked the Cup into one of these? How would bumbling Pettigrew and Babymort handle a rampaging creature?

Requirements:

- Harry accidentally knocks, spells or otherwise causes the TriWizard Cup Portkey to hit a creature in the Maze during the Third Task

- Creature must result in a team being sent from the Ministry to investigate the Graveyard

- Can be any rating from X - XXXXX (I will send copious amounts of internet cookies to you if you can figure a way for a Billywig to get sent to the Graveyard and end up foiling Voldemort's plans)

- Must interfere with the ritual

- Show how the Champions return to the front of the maze without the Cup

- Those at the school must learn of the event before the crowd disperses

Recommended:

- Prefer pairing of Harry/Hermione if any

- Tom and Peter do not need to be captured, but it is prefered

- Canonicity of the fic is entirely up to the author as long as Harry is in the maze

Length is entirely up to the entrant. But I do love a long story if you choose to do so.

Please PM me if you take on the challenge as I want to read all entries. Also if you have any questions.

If you have any questions regarding either my fics or myself, please send me a PM, I am an open book.
