Hermione will be considered a murderess

That's attempted murderess and Minion#1 in Harry's Dark Army.

Maybe Hermione needs to join Chaos Legion now. I don't see how she can be credible as a leader in opposition to Harry anymore, even in a game.

He'll say that publicly, but how's anyone else supposed to believe he didn't give contradictory orders in private?

... He's The Boy-Who-Lived. EVERYONE knows everything he does is insane.

Also, he already has history giving multiple individuals exactly that order. And one of them made good with it (which is why Dragons also wear green goggles.)

I'm with you on that. Few will believe, and the doubt in Sunshine Army will be a liability.

At this point... who cares? Surely both Harry and Hermione have reached the stage where they realize that they have things more important than children's team sports to worry about! There's a world to win, their own security to protect and a government that... they may decide is a liability at some point in the future.

Not only is Sunshine's morale likely irreparably damaged, Dragon Army's general is rather unlikely to return to Hogwarts. The games are going to undergo some serious changes one way or another.

Perhaps they'll lose all three generals and each be led by a former Chaotic Lieutenant.

This sounds easier to write than another over-the-top battlefield miracle from HJPEV.
