Interesting....verrrrrry interesting.
Of course Voldy WILL return, the horcruxes will see to that, but Harry has many years to get his ducks in a row before THAT happens.
And getting an internal view of Nagini's digestive tract couldn't have happened to a more deserving Dark Lord.
But I love how you have put EVRYBODY's plans in the dumpster. Now what will you devise to replace them?

A very interesting start. It will be interesting to see how Voldemort begins his recovery from the depth of Nagini's bowels... It will also be interesting to see how Harry does away from Hogwarts. Very enjoyable, so I hope the next chapter is coming along soon.

Nicely done! That's a new take on the Goblet contract if I ever saw one. It moved along pretty quickly, but since this is the first chapter, it makes sense since you are just setting the stage. Looking forward to reading the rest of this.

Wow, this is really different, I can't wait to find out what happens. This is a far cry from your normal Harry-battles-politically-with-Dumbledore-and-defeats-the-dark-lord-on-his-own kind of stories. I like it so far.

"To be continued..."
Oh, good. Of all the words you write, I suspect those may rank among my favorites. :) Thanks for another highly original & inventive play on the evil!Dumbledore theme!

aawww... that was cute and very nicely put. It's refreshing to see a new POV, especially when it concerns the death of Voldemort and a quick fix to a few things. I can't wat for a new chapter, I expected this to be a One-shot. Though, I wonder if Harry's relationship with Ron would be pleasent - something tells me that their friendship wouldn't last.

I really look forward to reading more of this story. I like what you have done so far with it.
"The cat was not only out of the bag, it peed on the floor and ripped up the curtains!" That line made me LOL :D
I have always liked the idea of Harry and Hermione together. I really hate Ron and Hermione together because Ron is a tactless git. I dont have a problem with Harry and Ginny though.

I LOVE IT!
What a way to get Voldemort, Dumbledore, Fudge, and Malfoy out of the way in one fell swoop! Now Harry (er, Even) can start his life over new with people whom he trusts, and who in turn, love him.
I'm not sure, but I think you wanted a 'fourth' parchment coming out of the goblet, not a 'forth', but other then that I would say this chapter is near flawless - as are all your works.
I am excited to see what mayhem this group comes up with, and will be looking forward to your next installment of this or any other work from you.

Wow. This is really good. I just finished reading Sunset and Sunrise over Britain. You are really good at this. I think that even though you took away one of the major plot lines you also put a new one in.

Sirius is so clever. I enjoyed reading this story and was thrilled when justice was served.

I love this fic so far...I adore your Harry/Hermione fics (sorry, Harry/Weasley and Hermione/Weasley don't ever work for me, I loathe The Ginny - it sounds like an STD, although I'd guess she's an FTD except all the rash, none of the flowers)I can't wait to read more. I'm picturing Harry and Hermione and bathing suits...

Neat concept and story, I liked how it was Nagini who ate Tom, amusingly poetic, but with the two main villians gone, who will be the baddie for any follow ons? You could use Snape, let him be an illegal animagus like the Marauders, a snake would find it easy to escape. Another idea would be Nagini since you made such a point of making her both intelligent and commumicative.
I do have to admit that I was disappointed that Harry got his magic back, I was looking forward to the Muggle adventures of Harry Potter.

The story feels like you did too much in chapter one without leaving a story to build up in chapter two. But it's still much better than the official ending, from Harry Potter and the Obviously Contrived Plot Devices.
I'm surprised that I've never seen a writer use the most blatantly obvious counter to the magical contract idea in GoF. The Goblet spit out Harry's name because it was tricked into thinking there were four schools instead of three. As such, the contract is magically binding to a Harry Potter who does not go to Hogwarts (Since it was one of the other three schools). Since the Harry Potter in the story does go to Hogwarts, it is not binding for him. A contract signed by John Smith is binding for the John Smith who signed it, not every person in the world who happens to be named John Smith.
