This was definitely wickedly awesome!!

At least by being so caught up in 'wtf' moment of being summoned to Scotland he hasn't realized yet that he basically gyrated in front of kids XD Hopefully none were too badly traumatized by the Xander-y goodness.

I really cannot wait to see what happens next!!


I did a quick preview of the other comments and I have to say I can totally imagine the Black family sending a squib away to the Hellmouth to unlock potential (The Malfoy family I totally see more as a straight up disowning followed by an accident type of family); not to mention I would love to see him interact with Sirius!!

Yet having him be related to the Longbottom family would give Neville a relative that's closer to his age and could, hopefully, help with his confidence. Then again making him a bastard line of Potter would be rather wicked and let Harry have a family member that can totally help him with the whole 'Chosen One' deal.


EDIT:

A two-for-one deal would be rather fun! Black and Longbottom - how much you wanna bet the portrait of Sirius' mother would wish she could roll over in her grave upon hearing that (I really doubt there would be love between the families beyond 'hey we're both pureblood so yay!').

Sort of set up the Hellmouth as a 'this is where Squibs go to survive (and hope for magic) or get munched on never to be heard from again' locale. Well that or establish that it could have been a practice for some families (or even the disowned member to go on their own) to send the unfortunate squib family members there in hopes magic is unlocked or soaked up from the energy fields since there are several Hellmouth locations around the world.

I know, the possibilities are endless, and they're all so cool when you think about it. Maybe I could do a two-for-one type deal, make Xander the child of a Black and a Longbottom and let him run around with both?

As for the 'wtf' moment, thanks, that's what I was going for.

Anyway, thanks for reviewing, and I'm glad you're enjoying the story.

Edit: Yeah, their probably wouldn't have been much love, but considering that Neville's parents both seemed to be pretty powerful, then the family must have been decent enough for the Black's to allow a marriage, even if they didn't agree with the politics.

And yeah, I think the Hellmouth thing has been done in this respect, but it still works and I'm using it.

I admit, I was dubious about the idea. But I like the start you've done and I find myself looking forward to reading some more.

Really? You may be right about that, I should probably change the summary to something less 'Super!Xander-ish', problem is I suck at summaries. Eh. Anyway, thanks for reviewing and I'm glad you're enjoying the story.

tri-wiz tournament + Xander + HP = CHAOS!!! (insert insane cackling)

I pitty the dragon. I see Xan stealing Filch's cannon, raiding the potions stores and BOOM!
second task...potions to make depth charges and BOOM!

third task...hedges + fire or if he can get his hands on a chainsaw....

keep up the good work.

No to the cannon unfortunately, Xander is restricted by the same 'wands only' rules as the others, though I can see him having one or two fantasies about getting the rocket launcher back from Buffy. The third task... I may be able to work something in.

This is fantastic. I love it so far.

Xander at Gringott's at the Lavelle vaults. Can see him treating the goblins with respect and earning a bit of respect there.

Xander of Olivanders, that poor, poor shop.

Xander in the lake and the sea creatures being deathly afraid of him.

Thanks, and I'm not actually sure if it will be 'the Lavelles' that Xander is related to. Truth be told, I'm considering having him be the product of some other line (Black, Malfoy, maybe even Longbottom), but I haven't decided yet, so if you have an opinion please feel free to offer.

Olivander's... well that will be a bit of chaos.

I do have an idea for the lake, though I'm not sure yet which was to work it.

Thanks for reviewing and I'm glad you're enjoying the story.

This was fun. The mace was a nice touch! I'm really looking forward Californian/American Xander's take on Hogwarts and the whole Tri-Wizard thing. Should be lots of room for fun chaos.

That's what I'm hoping for.

very interesting. definitely want to read more. just the chaos Xander will bring gives me a happy. =P
just wondering if you had any pairings planned because you put some emphasis on Fleur showing Xander some concern in my opinion, and that could lead to more. please write more soon. i'll give you a shiny penny. want to see how xander deals with the tasks and some of more "pleasant" people, Snape/Malfoy . looking forward to next chapter. keep up the good work ^_^

Xander and Fleur... not sure where I wanna take that but it's an option (one of the few available really, but still). I think I've got some good ideas for the tasks, though I'm not sure how 18 year old Xander will interact with 14 year old Malfoy at all.

Thanks for reviewing and I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Great first chapter - can wait for Xander to kick some ass!

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

I love, love love this!! Gyrating xander in front of uptight witches and wizards. Does he get to keep the Mace?

Yeah, he still has the Mace. Not sure how long he'll keep it though.

Nice! Can't wait to see Xander get his wand at Olivander's! LOL!

Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying the story.
