Summary
Harry Potter wasn't the first person entered into the Triwizard Tournament against his will. In fact, it's happened enough that there are rules in place to discourage such a thing. When Harry finds out that the binding magical contract spoken of so severely isn't actually binding him at all, but rather his mysterious cosigner, he decides to forego participation completely. But more than that, the attitudes displayed by his fellow students, the faculty, and even Albus Dumbledore himself leave him wondering if anyone he knows actually has his best interests at heart.
Together with Hermione Granger (with whom he's recently rekindled an estranged friendship) and the tiny aid of an enterprising first-year named Mafalda, Harry's going to do what he does best. Frustrate and enrage a whole lot of people.

Harold the Normal Worldbook (aka Author's Notes) by Khriskin

Summary
SPOILERS SWEETIE! (Do not read unless you don't mind spoilers for all the HtN stories.)
This is a worldbook (or wiki) for the Harold the Normal universe. It contains my notes on characters, locations, plot points, running gags, a bibliography, etc.
This story 'verse has completely gotten away from me. I have a LOT of threads going at this point and it's bogged down my ability to get words on paper because I'm worried about contradicting myself. So this is a 'fic' in which I will be sharing all of my in-universe notes (and how they differ from canon).
!!!!! This 'fic' will be updated as I work, so please don't bookmark it unless you want to be spammed. !!!!!
Also, I figured if my Dad has to listen to me rambling about all of this, y'all might enjoy it too! ;)
