Previously.

..."Well... through the door, Harry," said Dumbledore, not giving the boy any other option but to accept being the fourth champion.

The headmaster wasn't smiling on the outside but inside he was cheering wild while doing his happy dance in his mind as he thought, 'game, set and match to Albus Dumbledore.'

Everything was as it should be for his Greater Good.

But as Harry accepted his doomed fate like he had been groomed, everything changed. ….

- Harry Potter and The Revenge of the Goblet of Fire. -

While the Goblet of Fire was having a very strange Déjà vu moment. It felt that this had somehow happened before and something was wrong.

Very wrong indeed!

The Goblet of Fire had been in storage since it was last used and the magic that powered its enchantments had slowly drained away over the centuries. Moving the Goblet to Hogwarts had allowed it to slowly recharge from the ambient magic of the castle, but it would have taken months to be fully operational. Until then it would be basically just a lucky dip, and spat out the last parchment entered for each school. But the headmaster had been scanning the Goblet of Fire each day for the last week to check that both Confundus hexes were working, the Confundus hex Barty junior had used for the Goblet to accept a fourth school, and the Confundus hex Dumbledore had placed on the punishment runes, so that the right name for the right fourth school had been entered and ensure that there would be no surprises on Halloween and no one would be punished or be in danger of losing their magic. Unwittingly the arrogant headmaster had used the Elder wand, and pushed so much magic into the Goblet that the Goblet's Magical enchantments were humming, so by Halloween it was fully operational and connected to magic.

So the fully operational Goblet of Fire had selected the most powerful magical signature from each school; Fleur Delacour, Viktor Krum, Cedric Diggory and Harry potter, the only mature aged student entered for St. Brutus's Secure Center for Incurably Criminal Boys.

That was the point that seemed to be lost on the wizards. The Goblet of Fire didn't work with names; it worked with magical signatures and chose the most powerful magical signature from each school to be Tri-Wizard Tournament Champions.

The Goblet of Fire may have been Goblin made, but as it was to be used in the wizarding world, they left the fire, logic and punishment runes and enchantments to the master enchanter, Salazar Slytherin. A cunningly brilliant, ruthless, devious and diabolical fiendish wizard. You hoped you never got on the wrong side of Salazar Slytherin.

The Tri-Wizard Tournament had not been abandoned all those years ago because all of the champions died in the first task. No my dear readers, that is what the cover-up recorded for history. What actually happened was there occurred a lot of outrageous, audacious, blatant, cheating by would-be champions and corrupt officials. So after selecting the correct three champions with the most powerful magical signatures, the Goblet of Fire had then exacted its revenge on all those who had been naughty, and terminated their magic.

No one had been silly enough to hold the Tri-Wizard Tournament since then.

Except for a silly manipulative old fart.

The Goblet of Fire felt that something was wrong, as it carried out its post selection procedure, and checked the magical signature of the fourth champion, only to find it did not match the magical signature registered by the wizard who had entered that name.

The Goblet of Fire processed its internal checking and found two shoddy bits of the Confundus hex: One for it to accept a fourth school, and the second hex disabled its punishment runes. That is when its connection to magic had triggered the Déjà vu moment. That somewhere in the Space, Time and Magical Continuum, someone had tried this before.

The Goblet's enchantments and logic runes determined that there was no fourth school in a Tri-Wizard Tournament. The Goblet reset itself, and removed the Confundus hexes and the fourth school. Re-examined the actions of all who had came in contact with the Goblet, sorted out who had been naughty or nice, and compiled a list of the naughty magical signatures for termination of their magic as punishment. No guesses for whose name was at the top of the naughty list and it wasn't Tom Riddle.

Now it was time for the Flaming Red Fist of Chastisement, the Goblet of Fire pushed the big red button and unleashed the enchanted hellfire fist.

- Harry Potter and The Revenge of the Goblet of Fire. -

Everyone's attention was drawn back to the Goblet of Fire as the lights darkened and the Great Hall started to rumble with some ominous foreboding background music. The buzzing of angry bees that had filled the Hall fell silent as the students that were standing up to get a better look at Harry, sat down, frozen, in fear as they all wondered what Potter had done now.

A big angry red flame violently erupted from the Goblet of Fire like a giant clenched fist.

"Damn! Not again!" Cursed the headmaster as he bolted knocking the boy over, as he ran toward the chamber where he had just directed the boy, behind the teachers' table and where the three other champions were waiting. He was quicker this time and got through the door slamming it in the boy's face.

It seemed that the headmaster's words had caught the Goblet of Fire's attention and the Flaming Red Fist of Chastisement actually changed directions to swing around Harry and go after the headmaster like a guided missile.

The heavy ancient oak was only firewood for the Flaming Red Fist of Chastisement as it smashed through door, sending razor sharp oak shrapnel into the headmaster's back as it caught up with the fleeing Dumbledore while he was fiddling with an ancient Time-Turner. The fist wrapped its flaming fingers around the headmaster and crushed the oak shrapnel further into his back as it terminated and absorbed his magic to grow stronger, while it incinerated his spare wands, and emergency Portkeys. Everything magical except for the Elder Wand, four gold Gringotts vault keys and the ancient gold Time-Turner. The flaming fist took them as they didn't belong to the headmaster.

The Flaming Red Fist of Chastisement threw the injured, squibbed headmaster against the wall and returned to the Great Hall for its next target, while the headmaster called for his personal house-elf. A young house-elf appeared wearing a rainbow toga and popped the headmaster away to what maybe his last next great adventure as a very old, hairless, burnt, sick, injured, bleeding squib.

The professors tried to put up shields to protect the students as the students closes to the head table hid under the house tables. Mad-Eye Moody, who was for some reason still laughing his head off as he watched as his old friend, the headmaster, was viciously attacked, when the flaming fist leaped over Harry and pounced on Mad-Eye Moody and crushed him to the stone floor with a loud thud that shook the Great Hall as it terminated and absorbed his magic, incinerated his spare wands, and emergency Portkeys, while it left Moody's wand, the wooden leg and magical eye unharmed on the floor.

But the second target had not been working alone, and the Flaming Red Fist of Chastisement had a new powerful magical signature to add to the list of those who had interfered with the Goblet of Fire, and were marked for the termination of their magic, while Bagman and Percy Weasley frantically tried to escape the Flaming Red Fist of Chastisement, and bolted toward the entrance of the Great Hall but were blocked by all the shields protecting the students.

The Flaming Red Fist of Chastisement rose up leaving behind a squibbed, de-polyjuiced Barty Crouch junior and looked as though it was about to leave the Great Hall when it detected something. Someone in the Great Hall reeked of the taint of both magical signatures. The fist followed its nose and it pounced on its next target in the Great Hall who had been marked by two dark lords.

Everyone was shocked to watch the flaming fist grab the Boy-Who-Lived off the floor and gently squeeze him until the scar on his forehead popped open like a zit, and the black mist came shrieking out. Slowly the black mist formed the feared shape of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, and then the students and professors really started screaming. The flaming fist still holding the Boy-Who-Lived, poked its index finger at the black wraith of Voldemort Horcrux, and ignited the black mist into a Voldemort shape hellfire as it incinerated the wraith while it squealed like a rat. All of Voldemort's ass now belonged to the Goblet of Fire as did the ex-headmaster's, so the flames also gently caressed the Boy-Who-Lived to remove all Dumbledore's magic from Harry including all the obliviations, compulsions, and the bindings on his magical core and abilities that had been placed on him by the ex-headmaster and never removed. Leaving behind the Elder Wand, four gold Gringotts vault keys and the ancient gold Time-Turner to their rightful owner.

Then the flaming fist followed the ex-headmaster's magical signature to its next target and gently caressed the muggleborn witch where it remove the headmaster's magic that had been used to compel and obliviate her, while the flames gently burnt off the effect of the potions that had been given to her by a manipulated but well meaning but deluded friend, while red dunderhead sitting next to her just got all jealous and angry at all the attention the flaming fist gave Potter and the witch, as it completely ignored him.

The Goblet of Fire checked its naughty list and the next target was in a small muggle village. The Flaming Red Fist of Chastisement left to follow the link from the now de-polyjuiced Barty Crouch junior's dark mark back to Babymort, to terminate it of its magic and getting a big boost of magic from the link to all the other Death Eaters, triggering the unfortunate demise of the Death Eaters as Voldemort tried to remain in this dimension by draining their life forces, before he went down to the other place.

- Harry Potter and The Revenge of the Goblet of Fire. -

Babymort was not a happy little Vegemite. He hated being so powerless with only Wormtail as his amusement. The only enjoyment he got was watch Nagini stalking the little rat or practicing his second favourite curse on the rat. His current brilliant plan for the perfect painful murder of his hated Nemesis; Harry Potter, and resurrecting himself a body based on the boy's blood, had come to its first critical point. He had enhanced his connection to the dark mark of his most faith servant so he could feel what was happening at Hogwarts. Babymort felt the glee as Barty junior had entered the boy's name in the Goblet of Fire. But it was not enough to satisfy the dark lord as he felt the concern that his most faithful servant had about the amount of time the old muggle loving fool was spending to check the Goblet each day. He was sure the Confundus hex would be discovered.

Then the rat remembered the mirrors that his former best friends had made at Hogwarts. He found his old mirror and had it connected to Mad-Eye Moody's magical eye that Barty Crouch junior was wearing as part of his disguise at Hogwarts. With the magical eye able to see out the back of Barty's head Babymort kept a very close eye on the manipulative headmaster. Until he saw that evil smirk that the headmaster gave as he examined the results of his magic revealing scan. An evil smirk that had he thought no one would see.

Tom remembered the first time he saw that same evil smirk. It was when the then Transfiguration Professor had taken him to Gringotts to obtain some gold to buy his first year school supplies and books, and the professor insisted the Goblins to do a Heritage test to see if he had any unclaimed vaults. The professor was very happy to discover that the orphan was heir of the Gaunts and through them Heir of Slytherin. Tom remembered reading his copy of Hogwarts, A History before starting Hogwarts to discover who Slytherin was, but he had to convince the sorting hat to put him in Slytherin rather than Gryffindor because he was a half-blood muggle raised orphan son of a squib.

The second time Tom saw that evil smirk of Dumbledore was when the Basilisk accidentally killed that muggleborn witch in the girls' bathroom and he had come forward to framed that fool Hagrid. Dumbledore didn't speak out, but kept a close eye on him then.

The third time Tom had seen that evil smirk of the headmaster was when he confronted him under the guise of asking for the Defense Against the Dark Arts position. He had discovered that when he had finished Hogwarts, and tried to claim all the vaults that were his heritage, that his magical guardian had emptied the vaults of all of the gold and he was knutless. Dumbledore just laughed in his face, and he hated and feared the headmaster. It was that hatred that drove him to become the dark lord whose name everyone feared to speak.

Now he saw that evil smirk and Babymort knew that the headmaster knew that he was planning something for the boy. But what game was the headmaster playing? Was he going to try and sacrifice the boy again to bait some trap, or swoop in to save the boy and capture the dark lord while he was so weak? Babymort knew he will have to keep a close eye on the headmaster and make more plans for every contingency.

While Babymort waited and watched, the mirror did give him hours of amusement, as he had a 360 degree view of the insides of Hogwarts with surround sound. It could control the magical eye by touching the mirror and dragging its finger across the glass while giving directions to his most faithful servant. It was so much better than when he was stuck under a turban on the back of Quirrell's head breathing stale garlic. He laughed with glee as he watched his most faithful servant followed his instruction to hex Snape's billowing robes so they would blow up over Snape's head. Snape whipped around to see who hexed him, only to see Mad-Eye Moody staring at him coldly. Then Snape went off to find Potter to blame and give him detentions.

Babymort was most amused by the demonstration of the three Unforgivables that his most faithful servant gave to the fourth year Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Then when his most faithful servant put the Imperius Curse on the students, Babymort giggled himself giddy as he watched the students do the most extraordinary things under its influence. One student hopped three times around the room, singing the national anthem. Another imitated a squirrel, while the Longbottom boy performed a series of quite astonishing gymnastics he would certainly not have been capable of in his normal state. Babymort was happy that not one of them seemed to be able to fight off the curse. Until Potter was forced to jump onto the desk. He saw the pain as Potter fought the curse, and tried to jump and not jump at the same time and hit his knees into the desk. Babymort ordered his most faithful servant to keep trying to break the boy but after four attempts the boy didn't break and was able to throw the Imperius Curse off. Babymort was both impressed with his Nemesis and angry at how strong his will was. So he cursed Wormtail.

Babymort watched the building excitement on Halloween when the fourth piece of parchment was spat out of the Goblet. Babymort cursed the rat to celebrate the choosing of his hated Nemesis; Harry Potter, as the fourth champion and watch as the manipulative old fool directed the boy to join the other champions.

Then Babymort felt the fear from his most faithful servant as he watched while the Great Hall went dim and a huge flaming fist erupted from the Goblet of Fire. He heard Dumbledore curse and saw him run for the door as the flaming fist followed him. He felt elated and cheered as the flaming fist smashed through the door and terminated the manipulative old fart's magic.

He had to order his most faithful servant to stop laughing as he was shaking the magical eye too much. Babymort felt so happy to watch the flaming fist throw the old fart against the wall. But then he watched as the flaming fist jumped over his Nemesis and came straight at him.

Babymort ordered his servant to run and get the hell out of there, but it was too late and the mirror went dark as he felt the connection to his most faithful servant's dark mark starting to burn as the flaming fist was consuming his magical core and draining power through the link to the dark mark. Then Babymort felt excruciating pain as if part of his soul was incinerated, and started to curse as he dreaded what had the boy done this time. In his travels after Hogwarts he had heard many stories, and one was about an enchanted Goblet of Fire, and what happened to those who had tried to use it for nefarious purposes. Stories too fanciful for an up-and-coming dark lord to be concerned about. But the utter dread he felt as his soul burned with the link to his most faithful servant absolutely terrified him. Something wicked was coming his way, and considering who he was. It must be something very, very wicked indeed.

Then the room exploded and Babymort was wrapped in intense heat and flames as the flaming fist squeezed the ugly baby until its eyes popped. The pain was unbearable and far worse than what he had felt that Halloween night. His life flashed before his bulging eyes and he could feel the pain of everyone of his victims, only a thousand times worse.

Nagini tried to attack the flaming fist that was hurting her master, but the fist just crushed her to the floor, and instantly flame grilled her to death as another piece of the black wraith came shrieking out and was incinerated by the intense hellfire heat of the flaming fist.

The rat tried to run and the flaming fist followed, still holding Babymort, as it destroyed everything it hit while the rat screamed as it dodged, frantic to escape. The old mansion was burning as the fist chased the rat into the old cemetery and finally caught it. With the rat's magic terminated, it reverted back to an old balding fat man that landed on the scythe of the statue of the Angle of Death watching over the grave of the Riddle family.

Slowly Babymort could also feel his magical core being consumed as the hellfire flames began to suck in a huge amount of magic from his Death Eaters through his own dark mark. The all consuming hellfire heat was magnified a million times as an immense mushroom shaped fireball erupted into the night sky over the old grave yard, as he felt his ugly baby body turn to ash as the rest of his soul anchors were ripped out by the roots, along with the magic of his Death Eaters' dark marks. When the flaming hellfire fist had consumed all the magic and life force of all his Death Eaters, Babymort's consciousness faded away with the overwhelming excruciating pain.

Voldemort was no more.

His Nemesis had finally won.

- Harry Potter and The Revenge of the Goblet of Fire. -

Then the supercharged Flaming Red Fist of Chastisement returned to the Great Hall and cheerfully terminated the corrupt Ministry of Magic officials of their magic. Barty Crouch, Ludo Bagman, Percy Weasley had their magic terminated while Snape and Karkaroff lay dead on the floor with their magic terminated and their left arm burnt to ash.

The Flaming Red Fist of Chastisement hesitated for a moment as it checked for more magical signatures for termination present in the castle. Finding no witch or wizard on its naughty list present, but it sensed the taint of the residue of the former headmaster's magical signature throughout the castle, the flaming fist bashed the stone floor of the Great Hall in anger, shaking the castle as its red flames fanned out to strip all the residue of the headmaster's magical signature from all the runes and wards of the castle that he had used to control the tone and the culture of bullying in the school, while the Goblet of Fire belched up gentle blue flames that fanned out and swept over everyone to remove the compulsions and hexes of manipulations and influence that contained the headmaster's magical signature that he had placed on the students and staff of Hogwarts, including everyone who had ever passed through the doors of Hogwarts since he became headmaster.

The effect was immediate as the fear of the Flaming Red Fist of Chastisement faded and the doom and gloom of Hogwarts was lifted to be replaced with hope for the future, as the gentle blue flames gave them a warm fuzzy feeling. Neville and Luna smiled as all the headmaster's magic that maintained all the compulsions, obliviations and bindings that had limited his magic and plagued his life, were burnt off and removed. Neville watched Luna chase after the gentle blue flames wanting more of the warm fuzzy feelings, while everyone else was ashamed and wondered why they had treated each other so badly. The words "I am sorry" and "I forgive you," were used an awful lot that night. Particularly to and from Neville, Luna, Hermione and Harry.

Then the supercharged Flaming Red Fist of Chastisement was satisfied with its handiwork in the castle. In a flash it was gone and off to London for more fun at the Ministry of Magic. Eyewitnesses would later claim that the Flaming fist had chased a shrieking pink toad all over the Ministry as she ran from one crony to the next as it stripped the magic from all the Pure-blood bigots who had interfered in the Goblet of Fire.

Finally the supercharged Flaming Red Fist of Chastisement cornered the exhausted shrieking pink toad in the Atrium, where it pounced on the toad like a playful cat and terminated her magic as she croaked.

Its duty done the supercharged Flaming Red Fist of Chastisement exploded into a million stars and blew out all the windows of the Atrium and shook London, setting off thousands of car alarms.

- Harry Potter and The Revenge of the Goblet of Fire. -

Meanwhile in the Great Hall of Hogwarts.

Finally free of the potions, compulsions and obliviations thanks to the flaming fist giving her a close and personal Hermione hug, and thinking clearly for the first time in years, Hermione heard the redheaded idiot mumble. "Slimy stinking cheater!"

She wondered how she could ever be friends with such a jealous, greedy, obnoxious git. Oh right she remembered now. With a wicked grin, she tried to knock some sense into his thick head and hit him hard with her favourite book. His head bounced off the table, crushing his long nose as he slid to the floor like a limp rag doll, where unfortunately he was trampled by the rush of students fleeing the Revenge of the Goblet of Fire and the Flaming Red Fist of Chastisement.

Hermione stood up to find her true best friend standing all alone at the front of the Great Hall. He smiled as their eyes met and that was all the encouragement she needed. Her only clear passage to Harry at the front of the Great Hall was the Gryffindor table, while the mass of frighten students tried to escape. Ignoring so many rules, she jumped up and ran along the table to her Harry and leaped into his arms just like the end of second year.

This time she was really going to kiss him.

And she did.

It was beautiful and so romantic to watch Harry and Hermione kiss as they slowly spun around in the middle of the pandemonium of the Revenge of the Goblet of Fire and the Flaming Red Fist of Chastisement in the Great Hall that Halloween.

It was a moment to share with all their grandchildren.

- Harry Potter and The Revenge of the Goblet of Fire. -

It felt like a strange Déjà vu moment for Madam Bones as she entered the pandemonium of the Great Hall with a squad of Aurors. She was concerned as it was Halloween, and the Chief Warlock had been way too happy in the Wizengamot, plus she had heard about the dragons that Malfoy had so generously supplied. Her Auror senses were tingling that something bad was about to occur. She had given her niece, Susan Bones, strict instructions to call her on her mirror Fone if anything odd happened. Susan had called and wildly claimed that Harry Potter was the fourth champion in a three school Tournament and Dumbledore was trying to steal Hufflepuff's moment of eternal glory. As a fellow Hufflepuff, Madam Bones could not allow that to happen.

But then she saw the pandemonium in the Great Hall as the Goblet of Fire erupted with the Flaming Red Fist of Chastisement that terminated the magic of the manipulative headmaster and so many other bigoted witches and wizards. When the Goblet of Fire finally went out, she immediately took charge and knew it would be a very long night.

First they had to treat the injured and send the students to their dorms. Then they had to find the missing headmaster. The three champions claimed that the headmaster was fiddling with a gold ring thingy when the flaming fist caught him. Then he called for his house-elf and disappeared.

Madam Bones had a good idea where to find the missing headmaster, and she also knew a squibbed, sick headmaster wouldn't be able to run too far and had nowhere to hide. She called out. "Brucey!"

A young house-elf wearing a blood splattered rainbow toga popped before her. The splattered blood was a good indication that this was the house-elf Dumbledore used to escape.

"Brucey, did your master order you to not answer any questions?"

The house-elf nodded.

"How can you answer my question?"

"Master has lost his magic and is no longer master." Brucey replied in his high-pitched child like voice.

"Did you take the headmaster outside of the castle?"

"No, he is in his secret office. Master wanted to drink master's Elixir of Life but it no work without magic. Master is dying."

"Oh, can you take us to him?"

Brucey nodded and took Amelia and Minerva's hands and popped away. They found the very old, hairless, burnt, sick, injured, bleeding squib in a bed. Amelia placed the magic suppression handcuffs on him and asked Brucey to take him to the secure ward at St Mungo's to see what they could do for him. She didn't want him to die before he faced the Wizengamot. While Minerva checked out the secret office and found all the missing Hogwarts library books and the headmaster's journals.

- Harry Potter and The Revenge of the Goblet of Fire. -

After the flaming fist left, Luna Lovegood, ace reporter for the Quibbler, and her boyfriend, Neville Longbottom, who had sat on the Gryffindor table at the end closest to the head table (The Nargles had told her something big would happen that Halloween feast, and it did.) made her way to the front of the Great Hall with to have a good look at the Goblet of Fire to see if it was free of its Wrackspurt infestation,(it was), the new look Mad-Eye Moody and the unfortunate groaning, moaning, squibbed Ministry officials, so she would have a clear memory of the event. She turned to see a flying Hermione leap off the Gryffindor table and into the arms of Harry Potter, just like at the end of her first year. Only this time Hermione kissed Harry and a golden glow surround them but only Luna noticed such things. She knew which picture and headline will on the front of the Quibbler tomorrow. (Love had given her wings!)

Neville took one look at who Mad-Eye Moody had turned into and summoned Hercules, the Longbottom family owl, to send a parchment to his Gran about Barty Crouch junior not being as dead as she had hoped, until now. Gran Augusta would be soon on her way.

During the lull in the proceedings, while Madam Bones was organizing the recovery of the aftermath of the chaos of the revenge of the Goblet of Fire, Luna took out her wand from behind her ear and carefully extracted a memory of tonight's events and placed it in an unbreakable phial. She called her invisible pet Weetimorousbeastie, Ralph, and gave the phial to him and sent him home with so her father could start writing the headlines for the next bumper issue of the Quibbler.

After the excitement tonight, a Tri-Wizard Tournament without Harry Potter as the fourth champion will be a dull boring affair.

- Harry Potter and The Revenge of the Goblet of Fire. -

Harry placed the Elder wand and gold keys in his pocket as he took out his Cloak of Invisibility, and covered Hermione and himself. He placed the chain of the Time-Turner around their necks. With a wicked grin he gave it four turns and kissed Hermione as they departed from the pandemonium of the Goblet of Fire and the Flaming Red Fist of Chastisement.

They were still kissing when the Great Hall stopped spinning. The Goblet of Fire stood there with a gentle blue flame behind the headmaster's Age line, while the Great Hall was empty of students but full of house-elves decorating for the Halloween feast. Harry recognized one but Hermione spoke before he could call him.

"Do you think we should warn the headmaster of the disaster that will happen tonight?" Hermione asked with a curious smile.

"Bloody Hell No! Hermione. You know the rules. We cannot be seen and we must not interfere nor can we change what we know will happened!" Harry said with a confidence that he had not shown since the rescue of Sirius, and Hermione's smile grew more curious indeed. Harry was not known for obeying the rules. "It was all Dumbledore's fault and doing. I don't know what he did to the Goblet of Fire but it was certainly upset with him for trying to make me the fourth champion."

"Wait, are you still in the Tournament?"

"I think that I still have my magic and Dumbledore doesn't would indicate the Goblet of Fire had rejected the fourth championship and punished the headmaster for interfering. In a few short hours we will be free of the headmaster, Voldemort and his Death Eaters, all the other stupid bigots."

"Oh! So what are we going to do for a couple of hours?" Hermione said hopefully, thinking of what she would like to do for the next couple of hours. (Kissing Harry.)

"You have your memories back?"

Hermione nodded sadly with a look of anger towards a certain red dunderhead and a manipulating headmaster.

"Well the nice flaming fist gave me all my Gringotts vault keys and we need to check them out, after that maybe a little shopping in a bookstore."

Harry said the magic words to get a smile on Hermione's face.

"Oh, but how will we get to Gringotts? The headmaster has locked down the castle for the Halloween feast and will never allow us to leave the castle."

"Did you know a house-elf can pop us out of the castle?"

"Can they?"

"Yes, I watch the headmaster call his house-elf and popped away."

"Oh. Are you sure?"

"Dobby?"

Dobby popped next to them under the Cloak of Invisibility. "The Great Harry Potter has called Dobby."

"Hi Dobby. Can you pop us to Gringotts?"

"Yes, Dobby can do that." Dobby said as he grabbed their hands and popped them to the house-elf entrance to Gringotts.

Harry looked at Hermione as he was expecting her to be angry for using Dobby's help. "You okay, Hermione?"

"Yes Harry, I don't have this urge to get so upset about how house-elves are slaves. It all must have been the headmaster's manipulations. That foul... loathsome... evil…. Manipulative…. Little cockroach!"

"It will be okay Hermione, we need to help them to be treated with respect." Harry said. "So I can keep Dobby?"

"Yes, Harry, you remember that Dobby tricked you into accepting him as your elf, and you treated him as family until the headmaster obliviated you to forget all about him."

Harry kissed her as a goblin came to them. "We wish to see the Potter family account manager."

The goblin nodded. "Please follow me."

They followed the goblin and spent three hours discovering everything about Harry's family, inheritance and heritage that Dumbledore had hidden from Harry. Things really hit the fan after Harry insisted Hermione take the inheritance test and discovered that she was the heiress to Hector Dagworth-Granger the founder of the Most Extraordinary Society of Potioneers. The headmaster had tried to confiscate the unclaimed inheritance.

- Harry Potter and The Revenge of the Goblet of Fire. -

It was a very long night but it dawn a new day for the Magical World.

All the Death Eaters had lost their magic and died including a strange ugly burnt baby, a big burnt snake and another undead now dead Death Eater, Peter Pettigrew. Fudge, his Senior Undersecretary, Crouch senior, Bagman and Percy Weasley with a number of bigoted Pure-bloods involved in the Tri-Wizard Tournament had all lost their magic and were near death or dead.

While Ronald Bilius Weasley's bones were so badly broken by the trampling students that they were all vanished, his body scooped up like jelly in a large bucket, taken to the hospital ward and laid out on a bed while being force-fed Skele-Gro. Unfortunately Ronald Bilius had regained consciousness when his stomach got hungry and could tell how terrible it tasted and how agonizingly slow and extremely painful the process was. After his short life of being given everything he wanted, and never hearing the word 'No' or going hungry or being punished, Ronald discovered that the pain was too much for him and he lost his mind, and ended up in St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries in Ward 49.

They found a dying, bald, injured, squibbed Dumbledore in a secret office underneath his former headmaster's office with enough journals to tell them the truth of the evil of his Greater Good that he used to justify everything he did. He lived long enough to face the Wizengamot and see his greater than Merlin image annihilated, his name trampled in the mud and his Great Good exposed for the hell it could be for all the damage it had done to the Magical World.

Without Fudge, Malfoy and Dumbledore to interfere, the journals along with the body of Pettigrew was enough to give Sirius Black his freedom which also gave Harry his freedom from Durzkaban.

- Harry Potter and The Revenge of the Goblet of Fire. -

Then about a month after the discredited dark lord Albus Dumbledore was dead and buried in an unmarked grave on Azkaban Island, something very strange happened at Hogwarts. A healthy Albus Dumbledore walked into his former headmaster's office and insisted that he was still headmaster, Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, and Supreme Mugwump of the ICW. Headmistress McGonagall immediately stunned and bound him, and called the DMLE and the Unspeakables. They filled him up with Veritaserum to discover his secrets.

They were surprised to find out about the mysterious Omega 14 and ¾ protocol, and the secret chamber off the headmaster's private quarters, where he kept his magical Cryonics deep freeze, almost full of frozen past Dumbledores. The revived Dumbledore wasn't able to find the journals, so its memories were five months out of date. In fact the last memories it had were up to Thursday 9th of June, 1994, and it didn't know the details of what had happened that night.

They questioned Harry and Hermione and discovered that that was the night Peter Pettigrew was discovered after hiding as Scabbers the rat for thirteen years. They told this to the Minister Fudge but were ignored as he wanted to execute Sirius Black whom they had helped escaped on Buckbeak. They didn't mention that Remus had gone all werewolf on them, or the Time-Turner, or the Dementor attack, or the lovely moon lit flight Harry and Hermione shared on Buckbeak.

While the revived Dumbledore was still dosed with Veritaserum, Amelia asked. "When did the previous GGMELE occurred."

"Saturday 29th of May, 1993." Revived Dumbledore answered.

"What happened to cause the GGMELE that day?"

Revived Dumbledore tried to answer but started to shake and froth at the mouth.

"Damn, he has set a booby trap in his own memories." Amelia cursed as Revived Dumbledore collapsed into a coma.

"That foul... loathsome... evil…. Manipulative…. Little cockroach!" Hermione hissed. "Saturday 29th of May, 1993, was the night Ginny Weasley was possessed by Tom-mort from the cursed diary and walked into the Chamber of Secrets."

"I went with Lockhart and the other idiot to save her and fought a Basilisk." Harry answered. "I had almost died and Dumbledore did nothing to help me but send me back to Durzkaban for the summer. I had nightmares until I returned to Hogwarts."

"Well it seems what you remember are the fixes to the Time-Line. What really happened that caused the GGMELE that day would make a very interesting story." Amelia said.

"Harry must have beaten Tom-mort and somehow finished Voldemort at the same time before he could kill Harry." Hermione suggested. "And saved the magical world without Dumbledore's help or permission. From the information in the journals and what that we found at Gringotts, it had always been the Manipulative old fool's plan for Harry to be sacrificed and steal the Potter fortune to pay for his Greater Good."

"Do you want to revive the next Dumbledore?"

"No, it brings back too many bad memories."

"I understand. It is just that." Amelia struggled to find the right words. "It would clear up a lot of things to discover what really happened that Halloween night in 1981."

"It won't change anything and my parents would still be dead, and if they have booby traps in their memories we won't find much." Harry said sadly. "And we will hate Dumbledore and his Great Good so much more. We need to live for the future and forgive the hatred of the past. Dumbledore and his Greater Good is dead and gone and good riddance to it."

"I want to live my happy ever after with you, Harry." Hermione said with a hug. "Not dream of what could have been. Although what had actually happened would make a great series of stories. Maybe the Sorting Hat might be able to read their minds without reviving them."

"That could work."

The magical Cryonics deep freeze disappeared into the bowels of the Department of Mysteries, while the seven past Dumbledores were not revived but were given a fair trial by the Sorting Hat and the Goblet of Fire before the Flaming Red Fist of Chastisement threw them through the Veil in the Death Chamber.

(If you want to hear about the true stories of that had caused the GGMELE's, you will have to ask the sorting hat. The true story of what happened on Halloween 1981 must be extraordinary as the sorting hat turned white with rage at Dumbledore. All it said was that Lily had won and saved everyone, and the headmaster had interfered to sacrifice her and saved that evil monster and its minions for his Greater Good).

For there to be seven past Dumbledores, it also meant that Dumbledore had destroyed seven Time-Lines including seven worlds for his Greater Good.

The sighting of the former headmaster were passed off as ghost stories to frighten Gryffindors about blindingly following the Greater Good.

And just to be sure, the new Minister Augusta Longbottom issued a kiss on sight order to the Dementors for Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore.

As for the Tri-Wizard Tournament, it continued with the three official champions and proved to be a rallying point as all of Hogwarts supported Cedric and the rivalry between Gryffindor and Slytherin evaporated without Snape's nastiness and Dumbledore's manipulations to encourage it. The true spirit of cooperation showed through the Tournament. It started with the first task with the champions sharing information on the dragons. Along the course of the Tournament, the champions had to surmount the challenge of their language and culture issues, and learnt to use their abilities in collaboration.

In the second task, Cedric and Viktor were aware of Fleur's issues with cold water and they were able to change the task from an underwater search and rescue event, to a flying broom race over three legs, Hogwarts to Durmstrang, Durmstrang to Beauxbatons, and Beauxbatons to Hogwarts, with three laps around the school for an exciting finish. That little change made a big difference as so many more witches and wizards could watch the event at either of the three schools and when the champions passed their towns and villages, like an Olympic Torch run. Viktor won the first leg to Durmstrang, and Fleur won the second leg to Beauxbatons. Cedric had to borrow Harry's Firebolt after his father Amos Diggory crashed his own broom while trying to show Cedric how to fly it. With Harry's Firebolt, Cedric got a hero's welcome to win the last leg to Hogwarts. When the champions reached Hogwarts they had to complete three laps around the castle and Black Lake, flying under the bridges and between the castle towers. Cedric came from behind to win a nail-biting finish by the hair on his chinny chin chin.

That excitement brought an enormous crowd of spectators who wanted tickets to watch the third task so they changed the night-time event maze, to a day-time event swamp in a valley, with the champions having to find a path through the swamp and the spectators cheering from the surrounding hills. They placed the Tri-Wizard cup in front of the official stand and the champions were Portkeyed to a starting point on the far side of the swamp. Plus to make it more exciting, they added more magical creatures including the three dragons plus the spare from the first task, a Heliopath and an African Crumple-Horned Snorkack. (Which are a lot bigger than the northern Scandinavian Crumple-Horned Snorkack.) These challenges would require the champions to work together to defeat them. Fleur went all Firebird with the dragons and ended up riding the awesome Hungarian Horntail as beauty tamed the savage beast, and helped fly Cedric and Viktor over a very dangerous part of the swamp where the Chimaera, Were-Worms, Fastitocalons, the Heliopath and the African Crumple-Horned Snorkack were, only to be attacked by the Fellbeasts in the air. They left the dragon to fight the Fellbeasts while they continue the challenge, and faced the Sphinx, the Blast-Ended Skrewt and Fluffy. The final beasts were Acromantulas who had wandered in from the Forbidden Forest. The three champions successfully worked together to overcome the challenges of the third task, and then took the Tri-Wizard cup in a shared three way victory with Cedric and Fleur supporting an injured Viktor, who had saved Fleur and Cedric from a sneak attack by the Acromantulas. The standing ovation their received lasted a whole sixteen minutes, and was an inspiration to all as it created an eternal glory that would not be forgotten.

Fleur got to keep her Hungarian Horntail and Hagrid extended his home to accommodate the other dragons, while a very happy Luna managed to snag the African Crumple-Horned Snorkack. She told her father that he had followed her home and asked if she could keep him. As if her father and the African Crumple-Horned Snorkack had any choice in the matter. He couldn't resist those beautiful silver eyes and said yes.

The next big event was the wedding of the century. Harry James Potter married his soul mate Hermione Jane Granger in the Great Hall of Hogwarts. Hermione wore a beautiful white princess gown and had Luna, Fleur and Gabrielle for bridesmaids, while Harry had Neville, Cedric and Viktor stand by him.

The goodwill created by the successful conclusion of the Tri-Wizard Tournament and the wedding of the century, was the starting point for a new future. Cedric, Fleur and Viktor remained very close friends with Harry and Hermione, and they rose through the ranks of their respective Ministry of Magic to become the Minister of Magic. They knew it might take years to undo the damage of Dumbledore's Greater Good but there was no one going to stop them from dragging the British Magical World into the twenty-first century where Harry and Hermione would live a very long happy ever after.
