Reviews For Ron's Hogwarts

I had expected a lot more loud complaints about the dragon being dangerous, before he actually went out to face it.

Wasn't Charlie Weasley one of the dragon handlers sent to the first task? Didn't he send a letter to warn his little brother about the dragon? Even if I'm sure he had some good reasons to be angry at Ron, they are still brothers. At the least, Charlie should have wanted to avoid a howler from Molly.

To solve that you could have someone decide it would be unfair to have the brother of one of the contestants involved in setting up the task. Or you could have Umbridge intercepting the letter, since she would see it as cheating. Or you could have the dragon handlers being required to swear magically binding oaths to not tell anyone about the task.



Author's Response:

Umbridge told Ron about the dragon offscreen, after all he's the Hogwarts Champion and has to make a spectacular showing to prove that bringing back the tournament wasn't a bad idea. And the other two schools would just tell their champions anyway, so it's not really cheating. Or at least in her mind. She's just trying to mold him into a proper champion to represent the Ministry.

Unfortunately for her, with Ron as the champions all her plans went up in puff of smoke.  As for Charlie? With Ron as the Champion of his old school he got left behind in Romania to not show favoritism.

Well, at least the dragon didn't pass out like the students did.

Hmmm I wonder if the thing taken to the bottom on the lake will be a second plate of food.
