I couldn't resist quoting that. This story is brilliant. I found the ending amusing, and I can't wait to read the epilogue.

The were waiting outside the field for the bus (they were small in number so they did not have to take the train.) They were leaving Hogwarts after such a short time, and little accomplished; the tournament had ended in a tie. The end of year announcements from Swans were being ignored; she was currently giving a brief eulogy about Professor James, who had died during the course of their year trying to breed skrewts and acromantulas. Snicket suffered some burns and Ila had to wear an eye patch but was still in shock from fright. Professor Celinra had to levitate her around because she didn't trust Kobolos or Sam to, after she had caught them trying to cut off her leg, replace it with a wooden one and dress her up as a pirate. A Norwegian blue parrot was permenately stuck to Ila's shoulder. PJ was especially mopey since he had missed all the action and he insisted that if he had been there, Slytherclaw would have won and the Gryffinpuffs would be nothing but a heap of bloody carcasses. Ennui cursed the fact that he, Antenora and Dante had not arrived earlier. Antenora and Dante were rather happy, walking along the field and talking together. "The dementors were awful, but I thought of you to conjure my patronus." Antenora said. "When I got there, they didn't really affect me because I was, after all, with you..." Dante flirted. Luna and Alice were congratulating each other on a good duel, as were Dupin and Soidanae. Rellim and Pester were filling Tyler in on what he had missed, and also plotting how to get revenge on the Slytherclaws. Kobolos and Sam were talking to Char, J and Robert. "What did you think of it?" Sam asked. Robert shrugged. "It was alright. A bit dull." "I thought someone was going to die, with Kobolos planning most of the task." J said. "Did you?" Kobolos smirked. "I'm sorry to disapoint--but there's still a few minutes left before the bus comes; I'll see what I can do." He allowed fear and a horrifying realization to occur to Char before firing the dreaded green light from his wand.
IT'S OVER.

Heh. The ending rocks. Char is DED. And I love how the ending is so confusing, you have no idea who is fighting whom. Brilliant.

I don't think it was supposed to be confusing. o.o But it was, it definitely was--I know and admit it was, I was too bored to care at that point.
C: Perhaps you don't mean "confusing" but..."crappy."

Sigh. I like it but this story depresses me.

The ending and epilogue were both great, and funny. I've really enjoyed your lengthy chapter, J. And I think that, on the whole, this project has been a success.

Indeed, Hogwarts has been great. I greatly enjoyed your chapter, J. I liked the bit about Ila's parrot.

Nicely done everyone. I also loved the parrot stuck to Ila's shoulder. Looking forward to the digimon fic!

Well done, J. Alas for the Grail; left to Gawain, Peredur/Percivale, Galahad and Bors I suppose...

"Professor James, I don't think this is a good idea." Celinra said, concerned. The Heads of Houses were gathered in James's cabin to address an Issue regarding his work. "I think it's a very good idea." Kobolos said. "I agree with Kobolos on agreeing with me." James agreed. A cloud of green gas puffed out of Sam's bottle. He coughed, choking on the gas. "I agree." He managed, with difficulty, to say. "Pandora agrees with me, right?" Celinra asked hopelessly. "Agree? With what? Huh? Oh, sure. I agree. The thing you're doing is--great." Pandora guessed, blinking twice. "No, it's not great! It's dangerous! Someone could get killed!" Celinra cried. "Which is exactly--" Kobolos said, stopping as he choked on another cloud of Sam's potion. "--why you need to enlist some student help." "Really? Do you think I should?" James said. No puff of smoke came so Sam squeezed the jar twice. Two clouds floated up quickly, spread out and thickly covered the room. "Well--" Celinra began, hesitantly. "It might be a good learning experience for them." "Have any ideas in mind for the students?" Kobolos asked innocently. "Well--" Coughing, James walked over to his desk snd pulled out an attendance book. "I think Char and Snicket would be good choices." Kobolos said, as Sam squeezed the bottle again. "I think Char and Snicket would be good choices." James repeated. "Perhaps next Monday." Kobolos added. "Perhaps next Monday..." James murmurred. Celinra was too confused to say anything. "Before we go, do you mind if I take a look at your skrewts and acromantulas?" Kobolos asked. "Before we go, do you mind if I take a look at your skrewts and acromantulas?" "Close enough." Kobolos exclaimed, clapping his hands. "Well, then, Sam, shall we take a look?" ~~~~~~~~~~ More coming later.
Btw, the potion was some sort of mind altering potion used to influence people's minds and make them agree. Sam and Kobolos were the ones using the potion, so they were the only ones who could influence and see the smog.
