I'm searching for good, (or not so good if there aren't any or many good ones) Harry Potter fics where Harry 'calls the bluff' regarding something.
Specifically, I'm interested in Harry refusing to participate in the TriWizard Tournament, causing something to happen.
I have this image in my head of Harry, as a statement targeted as a sort of 'I told you so' to Ron, taking his cloak and putting it on and taking the map, and avoiding people sneaking around the school, possibly hiding out in the Chamber of Secrets, and saying something aloud like 'there is no bloody way I'm participating in this stupid tournament since I didn't enter' or something at some point, and managing to avoid those searching for him for the first task long enough to forfeit the tournament or something, and normally Harry would become a squib, but since he didn't enter himself, it is Crouch Jr. instead, who basically entered him, and was thus responsible for insuring he'd compete, and this would cause Crouch Jr. to get caught and interrogated, causing a bit of a Voldemort freak out by people early, and Voldemort's plans to be revealed, causing Dumbledore to put Harry under guard or something to keep him from being used to resurrect Voldemort, and trying and failing to move on Voldemort while he is weak, but forcing Voldemort to use a lesser 'enemy' in order to resurrect himself, someone just Wormtail can capture.
Doesn't have to be exactly along those lines. Any old thing where Harry refuses to participate in the TriWizard Tournament successfully would fit what I'm looking for. Even him calling some other sort of bluff or otherwise calling bullshit on someone or something in the wizarding world when something ridiculous from cannon happens. I'd even accept him calling bullshit on the blood wards at the Dursleys even though it is overused fannon so long as the story is really good, and it turns out true.
I'd prefer stories that aren't too AU, more along the lines of divergences, but if it is well written or about the tri-wizard tournament being the bluff called, I'm willing to be more open to AUs and stuff.
