A.N/ Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year, Yes I know I'm extremely late with both and I haven't posted anything in months. What can I say first there was the writer's block, then I got a job with Royal Mail with really unsocial hours which destroyed my ability to write. Next was the fact that I recently bought myself and Xbox One (If I'm ever going to finish this story that might have been a mistake) and the obviously there was Christmas. In the end this chapter is slightly shorter than the previous ones I've posted mostly because it might well have been another month if I'd tried to write more.

Chapter 10: Third Task Preparations

Over the course of the next few weeks Harry and Fleur's relationship grew at a steady pace as they let the other further and further in to their hearts. However they were unable to spend as much time on their budding relationship as they would have liked as the Third task was looming ahead of all the champions, and even though it was still months away none of the champions bar one were going to sit around while they could be preparing.

In an effort to help with their training, Cedric had approached both Fleur and Viktor and asked them if they would like to train to together as he reasoned that although they were opponents in the tournament, they were all friends outside of the tournament which meant that none of them would want to see the others badly hurt. Both Fleur and Viktor whole heartedly agreed with Cedric's idea to work together before the Third task as they still remembered that the tournament was supposed to be about strengthening bonds between the schools as much as possible and allowing the students to make friends with those from other countries and cultures.

There was just one small problem with Cedric's idea, well actually two. The first was that they needed somewhere to train without the rest of the school bothering them which were becoming an issue as more of the students seemed to be pestering the champions for their own recollections of the Second task. The second problem was that although the Hogwarts library could easily boast one of the best collections in magical Europe if not the magical world in general, it did not have everything and any helpful books would have the issue of being taken out by someone else and not being returned for a while which could put the champions at a disadvantage. In the end it was Fleur who came up with the solution to both of their problems as she remembered the Room of Requirement of the seventh floor had changed in such a way to her and Harry privacy that no-one could intrude on when she had been telling him she was going to stay away from him.

The memory of this event made Fleur tear up a little as she recalled how foolish she had been before she shook herself and reminded herself that she was now with Harry and he had forgiven her for her own perceived weakness. It was also Harry who had provided the resolution to the second problem as Fleur remembered the small library of rare books that Harry's Godfather Sirius Black had brought with him when Harry had written to him for help before the First Task.

Cedric seemed thrilled at the idea of having books from the Black Family library at their disposal if Harry's Godfather would allow them to borrow them, but he got rather embarrassed before realising that Fleur was joking when she said that she would have to ask Harry later if he wasn't too exhausted to write a letter. Harry of course agreed as he thought it was also a good idea for them all to train together.

It was several days after that Harry received an owl at breakfast that was carrying with it a parcel and a letter in its talons. Harry eagerly ripped open the letter and began to read. The first sign that Fleur got that something was wrong was Harry's expression that changed from happy to horrified as he read the letter from his Godfather. At first Fleur was worried that it was bad news but when Harry went bright red and attempted to hide the letter she knew that it was more than likely something that Harry didn't want her to read in the letter.

Surprising Harry with a kiss to the cheek, Fleur then stole the letter out from under Harry's hand and began to read.

Dear Harry (and Fleur too if my Godson hasn't managed to burn this letter before you had a chance to read it)

I was delighted to receive a letter from my beloved godson who I had thought had forgotten all about poor old me when faced with his divine, Goddess of a girlfriend (his words not mine). I couldn't help but be moved by the emotion that my Godson put into words at how much he wanted to help his girlfriend. I was shocked as the last time my Godson was this emotional he actually bought me a bottle of Ogden's Old Firewhiskey for Christmas after my books helped so much in the First task ( I never normally get gifts, it brought a tear to my eye). I did wonder just how head over heels in love my Godson was with you Fleur if he was buying expensive presents for you. I would gladly allow you to borrow books from my Library again and you can find them inside the parcel attached which is bag with an undetectable extension charm placed upon it to fit them all in. Also please ask my Godson to make his requests more legible next time as it was hard to get the message through all of the paragraphs of telling me how beautiful you were and how he can't believe anyone as perfect as you would settle for someone like him and how lucky he is to have the affections of an angel.

Love From Sirius

Head Of House Black

Marauder Extraordinaire

Fleur looked up at Harry as she finished reading Sirius' letter and saw him trying to get Cedric to kill him to escape the embarrassment that was the letter. Looking at Harry with mirth in her eyes Fleur started to speak before the bell rang for first class.

"So 'Arry is there anzing zat you would like to tell me? What's all zis about asking Sirius for poetry tips?"

As Harry grew steadily redder in the face he heard the bell ring and took off out of the Great Hall as if an army of Blast Ended Skrewts were behind him, leaving most of the hall confused as to what would make Harry speed off like that and Fleur laughing quietly at the interesting conversation she was going to have later. However as it turned out other ears had heard Fleur tease Harry about writing poetry about her, as Harry's luck would have it the Weasley twins had overheard it as they had made their way over for their morning audience with their 'Dark Lord'. Fleur saw the identical evil grins that the twins cracked into when they heard her mention poetry and she suddenly felt and surge of fear for Harry as she knew they would track him down soon. Seeing that Fleur had saw them grin one of the twins simply stated;

"Make sure you're in this spot for lunch and we'll make our Dark Lord tell you exactly how he feels!"

Fleur did indeed make sure that she was sitting it the same spot for lunch as she wanted to see what the Weasley twins had planned and hoped that whatever happened it wouldn't be too embarrassing for Harry as he was already embarrassed over Sirius's jokes in his letter and would be somewhat near the edge of just finding a big hole and jumping in.

Harry showed up a few minutes after the twins did after they had come over and mixed something into the goblet of pumpkin juice that they stated had to be drunk by Harry and only Harry. It only took a few minutes for their plan to come to fruition as Harry came in and sat nervously by Fleur before taking a drink from the tainted goblet and started speaking.

"Look um Fleur, you...you know Sirius is joking right because..."

Harry suddenly cut off from his sentence and got a dreamy look on his face before he jumped out of his seat and knelt down next to Fleur and began almost serenading her.

"My Divine Goddess of Fire,

I pray you never leave me or my situation would be Dire,

I have given you my Heart,

So that together we may push back the Dark,

I hope that are souls might bind and find,

Our Hearts be Forever Entwined!"

The whole hall seemed to have stopped and silence reigned while Harry practically serenaded Fleur, but at his conclusion the surrounding students burst into applause as well as cheering and cat calls. Harry shook his head as if getting water out of his ears and he stopped dead as he realised that what had just happened was indeed real and not only that but he had said all that not only to Fleur but in front of the entire school.

This revelation caused Harry to go first very pale before he caught some of what people were cat calling him with which caused him to go bright red as he tried to leave the Great hall as first as he could. However he was stopped by Fleur catching his arm as he got to his feet and she pulled him close so that only the two of them could hear what was said. Fleur's eyes were shining with adoration at what Harry had just serenaded at her and a slight amount of mischief to which Harry felt a shiver run down his spine.

"Zat was beautiful 'Arry. Is zat what you truly feel for me?"

"Um...well you see that...uh..." Was the only response that Harry was currently capable of giving to Fleur's question as he was still trying to formulate and escape strategy that would involve finding a deep hole to hide in and hopefully dragging Sirius in with him to show his displeasure with the Marauder's pranks.

Fortunately or unfortunately depending on who you were the Weasley twins chose this moment to intervene

"Dark Lord Potter, we humbly request that you not punish us for our transgressions against you, but we felt that it would only bring you and your chosen Dark Lady closer together. Please Lord Potter we still wish to learn from you!"

Harry turned round as they were speaking to see them grinning slightly whilst trying to keep serious expressions on their faces, something that they failing miserably at.

"Know that the potion we spiked our drink with Lord Potter only allows for its drinker to reveal emotions and feelings, it can't create feelings where none exist."

Harry sighed as he was told that it was only his true hidden feelings that had been revealed to Fleur, but he was slightly miffed at the Weasley twins for forcing him to reveal such feeling in front of everyone.

"Well my minions, despite your good intentions I still feel that you must be punished, I decree that you must not prank anyone for a whole week."

The Weasley twins looked horrified at what Harry was saying even if both parties knew that Harry had no real control over them and they could do whatever they pleased.

"If that is your will master. Good evening Lord Potter, Lady Delacour."

With the final farewell the Weasley twins left Harry and Fleur to themselves with rather confused expressions at what had just happened being mirrored around them on the faces of the other students. Elsewhere in the Great Hall there was a certain Headmaster thinking; "If he is treated as a Dark Lord, what does that make me; Dark Emperor of the British Isles?"

The rest of the meal Harry refused to speak about what had transpired due to interference courtesy of the Weasley twins and Fleur didn't push him to say anymore about it as she felt that it was not a conversation that they would want to have the entire population of Hogwarts listening in on.

After they had finished eating they retreated back to Fleur's room on the Beauxbatons carriage where Fleur gently pushed Harry to sit down on her bed before sitting next to him.

"What's got you looking so scared 'Arry?" Fleur asked with a concerned look at the way Harry refused to meet her gaze.

Harry didn't answer immediately as he was trying to figure out the best way to express his emotions so that he wouldn't give Fleur the wrong impression.

"I'm not really scared Fleur, it's just that I didn't want you to hear any of what I said in the Great hall just yet." Harry replied quietly still refusing to meet Fleur's gaze with his own. "I was worried that you might think that I'm overreaching in what level our relationship is at and how much it might progress."

Harry sighed quietly before he finished speaking; "Actually you're right Fleur I am scared that you would be driven away by my feelings that I have for you that are so deep and are filled with love. I guess I was just scared that I might scare away the most important person to me I've ever met."

Fleur's heart almost broke at seeing how scared and lost harry looked in that moment, but she knew that the feeling that he had needn't last as she only had felt happiness at his serenaded words earlier.

"You 'ave nothing to be scared about 'Arry. Most men if zey were subjected to zat potion zat the Weasley twins gave you would 'ave only spoke of wanting to do things to me. Many men might 'ave wanted to make me zeir sex slave or worse. But not you, all zat potion did was uncover the love and respect you 'ave in your heart and made me really zink zat I am falling in love with you 'Arry Potter!"

Harry had at first been still looking at the floor when Fleur began to speak but as she said more about how she wasn't scared at all by his feelings he looked up at her with relief present in both his eyes and facial expression. However he did furrow his brow in anger when Fleur mentioned how most men would want to turn her into a sex slave or worse and he silently vowed that such a thing would happen over his dead body after taking down as many of those that would do Fleur harm as he could. When Fleur told Harry that she was starting to fall in love with him, Harry's emotions soared and he felt like he could take on the whole Auror corp at once.

Almost in perfect synch Harry and Fleur stopped talking and brought their lips together in a heated, passion fuelled kiss that showed the other just how much they cared for each other. Fleur revelled in the fact that despite Harry's inexperience before they had started dating he was a fast learner and was getting better and better at kissing and making her want to spend her time with him doing nothing but more and more. Harry always felt he had died and gone to heaven each and every time Fleur kissed him as her lips were inexplicably soft and she tasted so good. He couldn't quite explain what it was but he knew that if he ever refused to kiss Fleur Delacour then he needed to be committed to Saint Mungos immediately as he would have definitely lost his mind and was a danger to his fellow students.

Harry and Fleur spent the remainder of the evening attempting to look up useful spells for Fleur to potentially use during the Third task, whilst Harry attempted to do one of his dreadfully boring History of Magic essays, but both of them kept getting distracted in the other's lips so much that they eventually gave up and just used the time to enjoy being together. As it neared curfew Harry reluctantly left Fleur's room aboard the Beauxbatons carriage after being hauled back for one last parting kiss and headed up to the Ravenclaw tower.

Along the way Harry was cat called by a few students that had yet to make their way back to their house dormitories but he mostly ignored them. It was only once Harry had reached the Ravenclaw tower that he could no longer escape any words that he housemates might want to have with him about his little impromptu performance during dinner, however he soon found that he would be dealing with the repercussions of said event for a little while longer due to the fact that as soon as Harry had gotten through the portrait guardian he was greeted by all of the Muggle born and half blood students suddenly bursting into song;

"The Power of Love is a curious thing, It can make one man weep and another man sing-"

They continued on with the song for a few bars longer before breaking out into laughter which Harry found to be somewhat infectious and relieving as it looked like his housemates were not only putting a more humorous slant on what had transpired but that they were starting to accept that Harry was with Fleur and just be happy for him.

"Alright guys very funny!" Harry quipped at them even though he couldn't keep the grin off of his face.

The students simply chuckled and dispersed off to their own groupings or up to their dorms which made Harry wonder how long they had been waiting to surprise him with their joke performance. Still chuckling slightly as well Harry made his way up to his dorm room before changing and collapsing into bed. However as he was starting to fall asleep he was suddenly hit with the epiphany of two very important things he needed to address soon. The first was that he wasn't sure how he would continue to see Fleur after the current year was up as she was most likely going to return to France and they would need to work out visits during Hogsmeade weekends.

The second item on Harry's agenda was to take revenge of Sirius for implanting the idea that Harry had been writing poetry about Fleur and prompting the Weasley twins to spike his drink. Justice would be calculated and would come when Sirius least expected it to happen, hopefully at a time that he could embarrass him just as much as Harry had been embarrassed earlier.

When Fleur met Harry the next morning in the Great hall she could immediately tell that something was wrong even if he was trying to act casual about it, but she was unsure as to what might have caused Harry to act in such a way.

"'Arrry what's wrong?" Fleur asked when he seemed reluctant to meet her eyes.

"It's nothing Fleur, it doesn't matter." Harry stated trying to come up with a better way to ask his burning question.

"You are a very bad liar 'Arry. Please tell me what is bothering you. Are you still being threatened by your 'ousemates?"

Harry smiled slightly at Fleur caring so much about how he was and he felt his defences crumble under her gaze that he couldn't resist.

"It's not my housemates Fleur; they are actually getting better about the whole situation and were actually making jokes about my little performance last night. No I suddenly realised that at the end of the year you'll be returning to France and then what will we do?"

"Well what makes you zink zat I 'ave to return to France at the end of the year?"

Harry looked her dead in the eyes at her words and he stammered his next few words before he was able to speak coherently. "Wha...what do you mean Fleur? I thought that would need to be job searching and your job could be anywhere."

"Zats that zing 'Arry, I won't be job searching next year as I will still be in school." Seeing Harry's confused look she continued. "I may be seventeen 'Arry but my birthday was at the end of September which allowed me to compete in the Triwizard Tournament but I am still a sixth year student at Beauxbatons."

Harry let that all sink in for a few seconds before he responded to what he had just been told; "But you'll still be hundreds of miles away and I'll only be able to leave the school on Hogsmeade weekends which might not match up with your free weekends."

Fleur couldn't help but feel slightly more endeared to Harry than she had been before at his obliviousness to a very easy solution their issue and how he was trying to figure out how to visit her as much as possible.

"You silly, silly man 'Arry. You are creating an issue zat doesn't exist; I could easily transfer to Hogwarts for my final year of schooling."

Harry's eyes grew slightly wide at Fleur's declaration of moving to Hogwarts for her final year and he felt that he had to at least try and find out if she truly wanted to move or whether or not she was just doing something to make him happy.

"You don't have to move school's if you don't want to Fleur, I'm sure that we could figure something out."

Fleur laughed at little bit at his statement before replying; "Zank you for zinking of me 'Arry but it is un-needed. I am not just doing it to be closer to you, but I don't feel so much of a connection to Beauxbatons as you might zink. It has been almost a solitary existence zere apart from Aurelia due to my allure and the petty nature of the girls zere. Moving is going to feel strange but I ink it will 'elp me in the future to be away from zem."

Harry seemed to accept all of it but he still wanted to try and make sure that this what Fleur truly wanted to do so he tried one last time to make sure she was serious about it all if she spoke about her plan out loud. "What about Aurelia Fleur, I'm pretty sure she would miss you if you moved here?"

Harry thought that Fleur might have to consider her friends response to her transferring to Hogwarts, however all that happened was that Fleur formed a rather knowing smile on her face that all but broadcasted via a sonorous charm that she knew something Harry didn't.

"Well 'Arry I'm fairly certain she'll be fine with it as she will most likely be transferring 'ere for her final year as her birthday was two days after mine and so is also a sixth year. 'Owever zat is all conjecture as you must not 'ave noticed 'ow she and Cedric stare at each other when zey zink no-one is watching. Zey are falling for each ozzer hard and fast and I'm fairly certain zat if she didn't transfer then he would find some other way to close to her."

Harry seemed slightly surprised by all the information that Fleur had just imparted onto him, but he had to admit that he hadn't noticed how Cedric and Aurelia looked at each other as he was too busy paying attention to his own beautiful girlfriend. The conversation between Harry and Fleur had taken up most of breakfast and looking at his watch Harry realised that they were only a few minutes away from being due to meet Cedric, Aurelia and Viktor in the Room of Requirement so that they could all train together since the books from Sirius had arrived.

Harry was in a decidedly better mood than he had been earlier that day as he made his way up to the seventh floor with Fleur. The revelation that Fleur was willing to transfer schools to be with him spoke leagues on how sure and serious she was about their relationship, not to mention the fact that she had already put thought into it even before Harry had brought it up in a worried panic which simply made him smile at the thought.

As they visualised the room that they had agreed on with the others Fleur heard a few passing Ravenclaw students sing a few words from 'The Power of Love' which she noted made Harry smile slightly. As soon as the door appeared in front of them they pushed it open only to be greeted with the sight of Cedric and Aurelia locked in a passionate kiss and Viktor nowhere to be seen. Harry and Fleur looked at each other with the same look of half exasperation at their antics and half smirks at how oblivious their friends were to the fact that they had an audience.

"Oi get a room you two!" Harry shouted at them.

The effect the shout had on them was instantaneous as Cedric broke away from Aurelia with a crimson blush appearing on his face as if he had been scalded. Aurelia however had a less dramatic reaction to Harry shouting as she simply wrapped her arms around Cedric from behind and locked Harry with a formidable stare.

"We did 'ave a room Monsieur Potter before you rudely interrupted us and at least we keep our affections behind closed doors rather zan serenading them in the Great 'All."

Harry went slightly pink at what Aurelia was saying as he couldn't deny that they had technically been in a room by themselves when he and Fleur had arrived, and the fact that she was ruthlessly bringing up something that he reckoned would become a Hogwarts legend eventually; 'The moment when a Hogwarts student serenaded his French Girlfriend over lunch after he'd been potioned'.

Both Harry and Cedric were then saved from further embarrassment by the arrival of Krum who hurriedly entered the room with apologies; "I'm sorry I'm late my friends. I vas delayed. Vhat did I miss?"

The other occupants of the room all looked at each other before turning back to Viktor and almost in unison replying; "You don't want to know!" Viktor raised an eyebrow at the unilateral answer from the other four but he didn't press for details.

Soon the five of them had arranged themselves on various sofas and armchairs that the room had provided and had spread the books that Sirius had sent on the table in front of them so they could plan which would be helpful immediately and which books might sit on the back burner for now and possibly be picked up again later if they felt they had learnt as much as possible from the other books. They all agreed that they would need books such as; Advanced Defence Against the Dark Arts, The Art of Transfiguration and Curses, Hexes and Jinxes: An Encyclopaedia. These were the sorts of books that would contain the magic that would help them stand up to anything that the Third Task might throw at them.

They also wrote down a list of possible creatures that they might encounter during the Third Task as they all kept in mind the Dragons in the First Task and then the Merpeople in the Second Task which still left quite a broad spectrum of creatures that they might have to fight. When it came down to practising the spells that they had found they wrote down what they would focus on during each session and then take turns either casting them at the training dummies the room was able to provide them with or at each other if they were non-lethal.

However the four older teens of the group were brought to an abrupt halt when they tried to conjure a Patronus. None of them seriously thought that they would be made to fight a Dementor or Lethifold, but knowing how stupid the Ministry for Magic could be at times when gauging threat levels they thought it was for the best that they did learn the Patronus charm. The abrupt halt was caused by the fact that all four of them were saying the incantation and thinking of a happy memory, but none of them were able to get anything more than wisps of silver smoke that didn't look like it would protect them against a strong breeze, let alone a dementor.

At first they thought that they simply didn't have enough magical training in order to cast such a spell that had the annotation under it in the book that not all witches and wizards had the power to cast such a spell. Then their salvation came in the form of Harry re-reading the explanation the book gave on how to prepare to cast the Patronus charm, although he himself was unsure if he was correct or just filling in holes where there were none.

Cedric was getting rather frustrated with their lack of success; "How can I call myself a Triwizard champion if I can't even cast this as this isn't even the highest level spell we've tried!" Aurelia tried to comfort him about it, but she too was feeling somewhat dejected over not being able to cast it either. Then Harry decided it was time to speak up.

"Hey guys I think I might know why none of us have cast it yet." The other four turned to look at him with questioning looks at to what he had found so he pressed on. "I think the reason why we're having trouble is that we're not using a happy enough memory. I tried using a simple happy memory from my childhood but all I got was wisps of smoke and the vague shape of some sort of large animal, but I think if we try a really powerful memory and let the feeling of happiness from that memory resonate throughout ourselves then it might give us enough positive energy to cast it."

Seeing that no-one was going to shoot down his theory immediately Harry pushed on and he thought about the moment when Fleur said that she felt the same way about him as he felt about her and how she might be falling in love with him. He let the good feeling fill him up until he felt only a pure feeling of carefree and happiness as he intoned the charm.

"Expecto Patronum."

At these words a bright shape burst forth from his wand before shaping into an Eagle which proceeded to fly around the room looking for threats before finding none it settled down on Harry's shoulder. It was then that they noticed that there were fireballs burning between the talons of Harry's Eagle Patronus which at first was confusing but then it clicked in one person's mind and she gave Harry a looked of pure affection that made him warm inside, which in turn further strengthened the light of the Patronus.

"You were right Harry! What memory did you use?" Cedric exclaimed in amazement after seeing his younger friends summon forth a corporeal Patronus. Harry looked at Fleur for confirmation that he was allowed to tell their friends what memory he had used as she seemed to have gathered which one he had used. At her nod of approval he told them; "It was my memory of when Fleur told me that she felt the same way about me after I was recovered from the lake after the Second task. It was the happy feeling that I had then when we started dating that I used to power my Patronus."

Aurelia, Cedric and Viktor all looked surprised that harry had been spot on with his theory as to why the charm hadn't worked until now and they were also slightly touched that Harry would share such an intimate moment with them when he could have just said a truly happy memory, but it did help them understand what would be needed in order to summon up a Patronus.

Fleur meanwhile was practically glowing with affection for Harry as not only was she at the forefront of Harry's happy memory, but she was certain that the Eagle with fireballs between its talons was a representation of her Veela side which Harry felt safe with. This in itself was a major stepping stone in her relationship with Harry as although he didn't realise it she had secretly feared that he might be scared of her Veela form which could lead to problems if she ever lost control of her emotions and transformed. This alleviated her fears as he felt that it was a guardian rather and an aggressor, but she knew that there was still the hurdle of showing him her form which would be the final breaking point in their relationship due to the fact that if he was repulsed by it then it would be almost impossible for them to become more physically intimate as it was a well documented fact that Veela were known to transform when lost in the throes of passion. However for Fleur to show Harry her Veela form she would have to be naked first which was not something that they were ready for, yet.

As the evening wore on they started to pick up and learn dozens of new spells that could be useful during the Third task, but they also realised that it was getting late and curfew would be soon. Viktor left with a slight smirk on his face and the words; 'I'm leaving first so I don't have to watch you four say good bye to each other'.

On the route back to the Ravenclaw tower Fleur suddenly pulled Harry off the main corridor into a shadowy alcove and before he could ask what was wrong, Fleur was capturing his lips with hers in a hungry, passionate kiss. The kiss lasted until Harry was sure he was going to pass out for lack of oxygen, not that it would be a bad reason for passing out he mused, and Fleur was simply holding him close.

"So is there a reason you assaulted me Madam Delacour or did you just feel like it?" Harry jested with a smile on his face.

"Zere might be Monsieur Potter, or maybe I just felt like it!" Fleur countered also with a sly smile on her face before she became more serious, "I was zanking you 'Arry as not all men zink of the Veela as you do. Most see the beautiful women but are scared of ze Veela itself which makes relationships hard. Not you though. You see my Veela form as a protector, not an aggressor."

With that Fleur stopped talking and started kissing Harry again with the same strength of passion that she had previously. It was a while later that several Ravenclaw students watched harry Potter enter the common room with a rather dazed expression and a rather goofy grin on his face as he staggered his way up to his dormitory.

A.N/ I will work harder to get the next chapter out in less than four months, also if people were wondering why I chose an Eagle as Harry's Patronus it was twofold. One is because the Veela form has Eagle like features and so its not too much of a stretch for Harry to see the Veela as a protector. The second is that I contemplated using an Anzu as the Patronus form, but DarknessEnthroned used that form in his story so it would seem like I was copying his ideas. Also if you haven't read his story 'A Cadmean Victory' go and read it immediately after you're done here. It is a much darker story than ine, but its an amazing story that I always look forward to reading.
