Here is the twenty-fourth chapter in Book 3. I will continue to try and upload the chapters as frequently as possible over the next few days and am expecting to get out at least 2 more by Friday, 3 if I am lucky but no promises on that. I do not expect to have another chapter out tomorrow so expect the next one in 2 days time. That's all for now, there are no questions to answer here so sit back and enjoy the 24th full chapter in the third installment of Avatar: The Tale of Harry. Book 3: Unity.
Disclaimer: As always I own nothing related to these two great works of fiction.
Chapter 24
At last it was election night. Team Avatar had gathered together in Harry's house to watch on his VV as the votes were counted by hand to determine the winner of the most contentious election in the brief history of the United Republic. It would be a quiet evening away from the press until Ron was either confirmed as the President-elect or at least the winner of the first round. There was no doubt that he would be a top 2 finisher in the election, it was the runoff that was in doubt.
Ron had decided that it would be just them and their families present for the election coverage and not throw a large party like Tru-Da and Ro had done. There was no point in it and Ron wanted to enjoy the moment with family before addressing his supporters once the results were in.
Their kids had been invited, as had Neville's wife Hannah, but they had all declined the invitation. Their kids were still in the Academy as the semester had not yet ended so it made sense for them to stay there, Harry was fine with that.
Neville had stopped by earlier to wish his friend luck but had decided to watch the coverage with his wife while he helped her cater for an election watch party at The Leaky Cauldron. She needed all the help she could get, and Neville as a former RCPD and member of Team Avatar, would be a lot of help dealing with drunk supporters of the divisive candidates that could easily spill over into violence.
The last few weeks of the election had been a blur for Ron and the other members of Team Avatar as they all set aside what they were doing, including the hunt for Cresswell, and gotten out to try and ensure that Ron won the election without the need for a second round. It had been a brutal few weeks between the town halls that Ron had done, interviews on radio and VV, phone banking, door knocking, last minute fundraising, and other public appearances had drained him.
Ron had been forced to take a temporary leave of absence from his position as Chief of Police in order to focus on the election. Of course it Ron won he would have to resign his post and retire from the RCPD but that was a formality that they all knew would happen. Ron had already prepared his successor should it happen and she was currently acting Chief while Ron finished his campaign.
It had paid off as Ron's support had increased over the weeks since the final debate of the election cycle. Between the reactions to the debate and Ron's campaigning across the United Republic his poll numbers had gone up. That of course had also distracted him from his other main goal of proving Johannes was the Water Enlightened and bringing him to justice.
The Southern Water Tribal businessman and suspected Water Enlightened had been busy working on the campaign as he had for the last few months and had been doing a good job at it. This was likely to avoid slipping up and Ron didn't mind it as it was still free help with his election. As such, between Johannes's work and that of Team Avatar they had been unable to keep an eye on the waterbender to see if he slipped up.
Naturally Ron had told Harry, Ginny and Neville about the talk he had had with Johannes and the fact that Johannes had as good as confirmed himself to be the Water Enlightened. He had also warned them of the threat that Johannes had made against Harry.
Harry had been happy with the news, despite the threat that he took seriously, but it was a shame that they couldn't get Johannes for anything, yet. Once the election was over, and the break between semesters at the Academy that started next week ended, then they could focus on Johannes and waiting for him to slip up. First, though, they had to get through the election night.
The last polls had had Ron at about 53% of the vote but given the vitriolic, and often but not always unfounded, hatred for Tru-Da's supporters and the vile names they were called just for supporting him, Ron felt that the polls may be a little off. Though those names were actually accurate for the majority of Theo's and Dudley's supporters.
After all, what rational person would admit that they supported Tru-Da when doing so would result in he or she being called a bigot, racist, homophobic, intolerant asshole just for supporting someone who, while being an arrogant unqualified blowhard with some questionable policies, was none of that.
Tru-Da and Ro were the main threats to Ron winning out right with 25 and 17% respectively while the remaining fringes were torn between Theo and Dudley along bending lines. It was close, too close for comfort.
Ron knew that polls could be misleading and ultimately inaccurate. The most famous instance had been when President Bagnold won the election by defeating the incumbent President Minchum in the first round despite the fact that most polls had her not even reaching the expected second round that year. That had been because of the perceived incompetency of President Minchum during the height of the Second Purity War and how his attempts at being tough on Purists had done more harm than good. He was still expected to win because many feared a change in President would lead to Voldemort taking power in the changeover.
"You nervous?" Harry asked Ron as he handed Ron a tumbler of scotch.
"He shouldn't be." Luna said smiling from the sofa in the study where she and Ginny were sitting sipping on glasses of plum wine. "Not only is he going to be the first non-incumbent to win without the need of a second round since President Bagnold but I helped relieve the tension just before we arrived. This plum wine is helping with the after taste of Ron's..."
"That is enough dear." Ron said with a little steel in his voice. "As much as I love your lack of a filter now may not be the time for it. We will also have to talk about it of you do become First Lady but that can wait."
"Mhmm ok." Luna purred from her seat that caused Ginny to not so subtly shift over a little at the sound. "I love it when you get strict, I'm getting a little wet already. You will have your mind blown tonight, as well as other things."
"I'll punish you for that later." Ron said while they all ignored Luna's suggestive licking of the rim of her wine glass. "We have to focus right now."
"I look forward to it." Luna said with a cheeky smile and a wink at Ron. "I have been a bad girl and am in need of a good, hard, punishment."
"Anyway." Ginny said changing the subject from Luna and her brother's love life, again. "When do the polls close and the counting begin? I swear the waiting is killing me."
"Polls close soon." Harry said pulling out his watch to consult it. "Then the counting will begin in earnest. The local news coverage, which we will turn on in a moment, will focus on the counting as it occurs. They said that every time a candidate has received 1,000 votes its added to their totals until one candidate receives either as many votes as would constitute a majority if all eligible, registered voters voted or if one candidate is clearly running away with the election then they will call it for that candidate. It has been 30 years since an election has been this close so it will be interesting to see what happens."
"Didn't they start to count voters as they went into vote this year?" Ginny asked. "That way they would know how many people have voted and as such what the true number for a majority is. I am pretty sure I saw that when I went to vote this morning on the way to work at the hospital."
"Yeah they may have done that." Harry said scratching his chin as he recalled his own vote that afternoon. "I can't really remember, we have been so focused on the election that everything is a bit of a blur to me right now. Can't wait for this shit to be over with."
"Neither can I." Ron said with a smile and a sip of his drink before checking his own watch. "Harry turn on your VV, the polls have closed so we should start to watch the coverage now. Then our questions will be answered and the waiting will begin."
Harry nodded and reached into his desk to find the remote and turn on his VV. It took a few minutes to find the right channel which had Lee as the broadcaster. Lee and the company he worked for weren't known for their impartiality but their bias was the most palatable hence why they decided to watch his coverage of the election.
As Harry reached the channel he heard Ron groan and saw that Lee was flanked by Fred and George who looked like they hadn't aged much in the last 20 years other than that their hair and matching beards were now light red. The twins had decided to both wear matching mauve colored suits to further annoy audiences. It was ruined however by the patch over George's missing right ear. Why the joke shop billionaire brothers of Ron and Ginny were on an election night coverage was a mystery to Harry but it would be amusing at least, and favorable to Ron.
"Welcome folks to the election night special on the Republic City News Broadcast, your one stop shop for everything news related in the United Republic." Lee said with a beaming grin. "We are the best place for viewers looking for the status of their candidates, except those who support Tru-Da who call us Fake News. Now we have admitted to lying by omission in the past but we are better now, honest."
"Why don't I believe that." Ron muttered. "As much as I liked their favorable coverage, they aren't great with the truth at times and I would rather lose honestly than win because of misleading information."
"All news companies do that, it helps them make more money." Luna said. "Sensational news sells best. They will never stop. Personally I don't mind and just enjoy the shitshow."
"I am fortunate today to be joined by two of the RCNB owners and my long time best friends who are now my bosses, Princes Fred and George of the Southern Water Tribe." Lee continued and they all snapped back to the broadcast. "And of course they are the well-known brothers to lead candidate, and of course major donors too his campaign, Chief Ron."
"Since when did Fred and George branch out into media?" Ginny asked. "A bit different to their usual investments."
"I think in the last week or so." Ron grumbled. "This won't do me any favors if I am elected. RCNB is one of the least trusted network at the moment because of their multiple examples of lying by omission, their clear biases in promoting me over other candidates, wild speculations about the mental health of the candidates and their supporters, and their preference to attack character rather than policy. I like Lee and all but this won't do me any favors. Hopefully Fred and George change that but I doubt it."
"Shh, we are watching this." Luna hissed. "This is going to be good, I know it."
"Thanks for having us on tonight." Fred said with a smile that George instantly mimicked.
"Didn't have much choice now did I." Lee said with a laugh. "You two just showed up, told me you had bought the company, and said you would be joining me."
"Exactly." George said with a nod that Fred copied. "We wouldn't miss our little brother get elected the first new President of the United Republic in over 25 years and not enjoy embarrassing him on international VV right after the polls have closed. Plus we have been meaning to diversify our assets and this way we can stop paying for advertisements on networks now that we own one."
"Thanks George." Ron grumbled as he took a swig of his whiskey. "What was already a long night has just gotten longer."
"So you really think that Ron will win outright?" Lee asked the twins. "Because in the last week we have seen Tru-Da making a big push to force a runoff. His numbers are up and he has been campaigning hard."
"Well firstly Lee let's be clear on one thing." Fred said. "Our brother, who also happens to the best Chief of Police Republic City has ever seen, will secure at least a plurality of the vote."
"Yeah." George interrupted. "Based on the latest exit polls you showed us he should get at least 45% of the vote at the low end. Now on the topic of that last 5.01%, I do think that he will reach and easily exceed it."
"It's too little too late for dear old Tru-Da." Fred said with a falsely sad shake of his head. "Also I would like to take a minute to let you know that this broadcast is brought to you by our joke shop, Twin Trickster Temples and in particular our election themed pranks and comical merchandise for all candidate."
"Including stuff on our own brother." George added helpfully. "We are unbiased in our mockery of the candidates. All are fair game when it comes to pranks."
"Shameless." Ginny muttered shaking her head at her twin brothers. "They are absolutely shameless."
"That's nothing new." Harry agreed. "They always have been and always will be, Still, this is amusing and better than watching Arctic Hen or the National Broadcasting Organization of the United Republic fear monger for Tru-Da and Ro respectively. Its' like they aren't even trying to produce news anymore. At least RCNB tries, even if they often fail."
"Besides the Chief Ron dildo is an excellent creation of the twins." Luna purred from the couch. Harry was certain he would have to get it steam cleaned in the morning based on Luna's tone. "Not as large or as skilled as the real thing, I can't let others learn how great Ron's cock is, but useful to keep me company either in the Spirit World when I am studying in the field there or when Ron is away on business. Also it's currently their highest selling sex toy which make me very happy and proud."
"There are so many things wrong with that that I don't know where to start." Ron said without much emotion, this was what they had come to expect from the twins.
"The only surprising thing is that I am not surprised in the least." Harry said. "Which is not a good thing in my book."
"They have a sex toy line?" Ginny asked. "I didn't know that."
"Oh yes, a full sex shop branch." Luna said smiling. "I believe its called Twins Tantric Ticklers or something like that. I consult with them sometimes, for a modest fee and free supplies of course."
"Unfortunately that explains a lot." Ron mumbled into his glass. "Like why we have so many unique, odd and fun sex toys to enjoy and why you're doing consulting work from time to time on top of your other duties."
"Besides, how else were they going to get your measurements for the dildo or the Chief Ron sex doll, another enjoyment of mine by the way." Luna said sweetly. "They have been big sellers during this election and are finally their top sellers. It's the first time that the Avatar Harry line has been outsold since they started the sex shop line a few years back."
"Wait that's why you wanted to know all of Harry's measurements in that area!" Ginny exclaimed in utter horror. "You needed them to help the twins make sex toys of my husband!"
"Wait what!" Harry said now joining in the shock. "On what both of you have said."
"I just thought Luna was being her usual curious self." Ginny said going bright red. "So I indulged her. I didn't know that was what she wanted it for. I don't even own a dildo, I don't need with you around."
"Thanks." Harry said with a smile at his wife before he remember why he was shocked. "But still you told her, why?"
"It's Luna." Ginny shrugged. "It was easier than not telling her in the long run. If I didn't I would be treated to her latest story of fucking Ron somewhere highly inappropriate. "
"True." Harry said with a sigh. "It is always better to just give Luna the info then let her torture it out of you with her bluntness. I think that table still has a dent in it from all the times I headbutted it when I learned of her dildo collection all named after Ron."
"If it's any consolation Harry I don't own the Avatar Harry dildo and sex toy set." Luna said sweetly. "I just need the info for Fred and George. I also still have those dildos, they are a good throwback."
"I will be having a few words with them about this." Harry said deciding to ignore Luna's other comments. "At least I deserve some royalties from it, I was their first investor after all."
"I think they have some set aside for you." Luna said with a wink. "Both money and merchandise so that you and Ginny can have some fun."
"Thank you Luna." Harry said. "But why don't we stop talking about Fred and George's sex shop line and focus on the election results."
"Sure, though I should mention that they have asked if Ginny and I would be interested in creating pocket pussies for them for their male clients." Luna said causing Ron to shatter the glass in his hand. "I have said I will talk with y'all about it but I think it's a good idea."
"Not now Luna." Ginny said as she got up and pulled out some water from her water skin to heal Ron's hand while Harry dealt with the glass. "We can address this after the election. For now let us just watch the results come in."
"Good idea." Ron said with a slightly strained voice before sighing as his hand was healed. "Though Luna we can add this too your punishment."
"I look forward to it." Luna said again with a sly smile.
"Yes it has been a rough election this year." Lee's loud voice said as Harry turned the volume up to prevent Luna from getting graphic, again and to shift their attention back to the election. "I don't think there has ever been an election this vile in the history of the United Republic. Hopefully it is the last time it ever happens."
"Well when you have a businessman and entertainer who knows how to play to a crowd, the rules will be changed." Fred said with a shrug. "And that's what Tru-Da is and has done. It would be like if myself or George ever ran for President we would make it more about our showmanship, which is great as you well know, than our policies. The other candidates are almost as bad as well and they all played off each other."
"Not that we want the job mind you." George added. "Only a madman would want to be President of the United Republic."
"Yes Ron can have it for all we care." Fred said with a firm nod. "Better him than us. We don't handle pressure well. Usually, when we get stressed, something ends up getting blown up."
"We also can't handle reporters." George pointed out.
"Or tough questions."
"Or anyone getting into our faces and annoying us."
"I think our viewers get the picture." Lee interrupted, ending the twins' back and forth.
"Just painting it for our viewers." Fred said with a smile. "We have a canvas right now and when that happens we must paint."
"Well let's get back to the actual election and not a hypothetical President Frederick or a President George." Lee said with a shudder that Harry couldn't tell if it was real or staged. "And focus more on the possibility of a President Ronald."
"Yes our younger brother has achieved new heights that none of our family has ever achieved." George said with a note of pride that took them all aback. "Even with our grandfather being named Chief following Tonraq's death and then out father and elder brother, the current Chief, taking the throne, in our family Ron has exceeded them all. He is only the third Southerner to earn the Wolf title when he was named the Red Wolf of the Southern Waters. That puts him up there with Hakoda and Sokka, two of our legendary heroes."
"Yes the Presidency of the United Republic is just the icing on the cake." Fred said in the same tone. "After saving the United Republic from Voldemort, for which he was awarded the Order of Korra First Class, the Fire Nation from Hermione for which he was awarded the Roku Cross and then all he has done for the city as a member of the RCPD and ultimately as our Chief of Police. He is more than qualified for the role and more than deserving. We both know that Ron will be the greatest President of the United Republic to date."
"Not to mention that he saved your life back during the Second Purity War." Lee added as his impartiality began to slip. "As well as countless other lives in the Battle of the Elemental Academy."
"Ah yes that old wound." Fred said idly rubbing his chest where Rookwood's bolt of lightning had struck him during the Battle of the Elemental Academy. Fred was proud of the scar it had left. "I wear that scar that Rookwood gave me 28 years as a badge of honor. Had it not been for my family, Ron, my sister Ginny and Ambassador Percy, another one of my brothers, I would have died that day. Fortunately they caught Rookwood and locked him up for life, one of the few Death Eaters to survive by the way, though not unharmed."
"Yes the knife to the backside is still one of the more iconic moments of that battle, one that will never be forgotten." George said before indicating his missing ear. "Unfortunately I was busy being healed at the time. I would have liked to see Rookwood's defeat but alas I had my own issue to deal with."
"Ron does have an impressive kill count from all conflicts that he has fought in." Lee said with admiration, something that Harry knew Ron was not proud of as he had been doing his duty in those battles and like the rest of them hated killing. "His experience and willingness to get bloody for the security of the many is one of the many reasons why he is the leading candidate this year. Ron's limited wounds, only a broken arm from a duel with Rosier in which he killed the dangerous Death Eater, in battle shows his ability to fight and win. Many people will feel safe knowing that they have a President who will lead them from the front when danger presents itself. It was one of the things that has helped Shacklebolt maintain the presidency for so long."
"Don't forget that the broken arm had actually occurred during the final of the Elemental Academy's bending tournament that year." George pointed out. "And it had just been healed prior to his fight with Rosier so it was rebroken when Ron redirected that bolt of lightning. Had he been fully healthy he would not have rebroken his arm en route to his first confirmed kill."
"How many bad guys has he killed by the time of the raid on Enlightened Island?" Fred asked. "I cannot remember the last count and Ron won't show us the tattoos on his back that honor those kills."
"Give or take at least 40." Lee said and Harry knew that Ron was getting uncomfortable at this morbid praise. "At last count that is and across all different conflicts, wars and fights in the line of duty he has been a part of. Course there might be more, some of the stuff is probably still classified."
"An impressive number and all of it justified." George said with a nod. "However, we have digressed quite a bit. Lee what is the current vote count?"
"Thank you George for bringing us back to the actual election rather than embarrassing your brother and possible future President of the United Republic on live VV." Lee said with a smile as they all sighed in relief that the commentators were getting back on topic. "And on that note, the latest reports are in and after 20% of ballots being counted Chief Ron has a comfortable lead with 56% of all votes counted."
"That is good news but too soon to call is it not?" Fred asked.
"Alas you are correct, it is too soon to call." Lee agreed. "Our analysts will let us know when it is safe to call the election, we don't want another mistake like with President McLaird's election when it was called against him only for him to win on a recount against Raiko. Given that 33% of the current vote has been for Tru-Da he has too much support to call it for Ron as of this time. However our analysts have said we can call that Chief Ron will qualify for the run off should it come down to that, which means that he will finish in the top 2."
"That is not a surprise though." Fred said. "We knew going into tonight that the numbers had Ron all but certain to reach the runoff should it be required."
"That is true." Lee said with a nod. "But now it is official, Ron will finish in the top 2."
"And the demographics of the current votes counted?" George asked. "Seeing as Ron is a few points above the latest polls on him, I am curious to see the current demographic break down."
"Right now most of the votes counted are from some of the more affluent neighborhoods." Lee said. "So they are areas that are disproportionately in favor of Chief Ron or Tru-Da. The poorer nonbender areas and poorer bending areas that heavily favor Dudley and Theo, the extreme candidates, have yet to be recorded. Given their higher populations, they do take some time."
"As does the university district." Fred said looking at a map of the United Republic that was behind them in the studio and starting to light up as the votes were coming in. "That's where Ro will have a lot of success while the working class areas and the rural countryside that have been mainly Tru-Da's territory are also still coming in. Of course with the exceptions of the University district and the poor nonbending districts Ron is leading in the polls in all other districts."
"Those areas expected to be almost solely one candidate areas." Lee said. "The university wants Ro because she's the only one who is close to their far left ideals while the poorer nonbender areas blame benders for their problems and want what they perceive to be a strong, far right candidate in Dudley to lead them. Both demographics are small but will play a role in the end. It is the middle majority that will decide the election though."
"Yeah it's why I barely campaigned there." Ron said with a note of irritation in his voice. "Those are areas that have their mind up and won't even listen to an argument from the other side, let alone indulge it. Those areas, and almost all Tru-Da supports, won't accept the results of the election unless there is a recount will be a fruitless endeavor."
"Well both Ro's and Tru-Da's supports still won't accept the results when that happens." Harry said shaking his head. "There are just some people who will never accept results of a free and fair election no matter how badly they have lost. It is a shame but sometimes there is nothing you can do to change a person's mind."
"Too true." Ginny agreed. "It's a shame but we can't appeal to everyone."
Team Avatar fell into a quiet hush after that as they continued to watch the election night coverage with intrigue. The commentary was as expected hilarious at times and annoying and embarrassing at others. Given the three commentators, it was still good fun and much better than the other networks.
Naturally Team Avatar added their own commentary to that of Lee, Fred and George when they knew more or understood the nuances of the issues better, or when they just wanted to heckle them. It helped lighten the mood a little and at times they needed it.
Despite Ron constantly being in the lead, it was a nerve racking night and none of Team Avatar had ever truly experienced a contested election night as all the ones they had known had been the formalities that were Shacklebolt's elections. That and they had been too young to understand them during Bagnold's reelection and Fudge's election.
As the night went on, the lead Ron had in the polls remained steady at between 54 and 57% as more and more precincts reported their results of the election. The polls had been wrong, as Ron had expected, but he had not been expecting how they would be wrong.
While Tru-Da was doing significantly better by area as a whole than Ro, by the time 80% of the vote having been counted she had overtaken him for second in the popular vote and was sitting at about 30%, higher than her numbers had predicted. However, the biggest shock had been that Ron was increasing his support beyond expectation and the chances of his election without the need for a second round runoff was becoming more of a reality with every passing report. Then it happened.
"This is it folks." Lee suddenly said and all four members of Team Avatar turned into the screen. "Our analysts can say that we can officially call the election with 88% of the precincts reporting their votes. As was expected, but now confirmed, we here at RCNB can now officially call the first round of the election and because our call is a majority, the Presidency."
At that point Lee paused much to all of theirs annoyance. It was clearly for effect but that still didn't make it any less frustrating.
"We are calling it for Chief Ronald, prince of the Southern Water Tribe and Chief of Police for Republic City to be next President of the United Republic." Lee said with a wide smile from him and the twins. "Congratulations Ron on a well fought, brutal election and a win that was expected, you deserve it. Fortunately we will not be needing a second round run off for this election. We will continue to report and take you live to the various concession speeches as they happen as well as to Chief Ron's acceptance speech when that happens. Once again congratulations to President-elect Ronald"
"I will not speak to the public until more than 95% of the vote is in and I can confirm that I will indeed be the next president." Ron said with a smile before they all hugged him and he couldn't speak anymore.
"Congratulations my love." Luna said as she kissed her husband deeply. "I will so reward you tonight when we get back, I don't expect to be able to sit for a week when we are done. I am going to have so much fun as the First Lady of the United Republic."
"I am both pleased and worried in equal measures." Ron said with a smile that caused all of them to laugh.
"Well at least we have prevented any of the worst candidates in the history of the United Republic from securing the presidency." Harry said clapping Ron on the back again. "Now we can focus on keeping the city safe in multiple ways and not worry about one of those ways being the President him or herself which is a relief."
"True." Ron said with a nod. "Though who knows, I may have been playing a long game to get to this point and now will double cross you and become a dictator that would make Hermione look benevolent."
"Ron you may be better than most but you still cannot lie to me." Harry said and they all laughed again. "Plus there may never be a dictator worse than Hermione in our lifetimes, she set the bar really high in that department."
"I still can't get the better of you." Ron said once they had stopped laughing and he put a serious face on. "But in all seriousness guys well done, this was a team effort and I couldn't have done it without y'all. I wish Neville was also here to celebrate with us as well but I understand why not. Now, though, the real work begins. I want to be able to announce during my inauguration that we have captured or killed Cresswell and proven and done the same to Johannes. That is now our number one priority."
"Agreed." Harry said to his closest friends in the world, minus Neville. "Now we need to get our heads in the game. The distraction that was the election is over, other than the transition period that is but that can handle itself for the most part, and now we must focus on what really matters. It's time we put the hunt into high gear and once and for all end the threat that the Enlightened pose to the world."
The others all nodded grimly. They all knew what was at stake and now that the election was over they could resume their mission and end the Enlightened. After that all that was left was to capture or kill Delphini and end the threat Voldemort's daughter posed and finish the last true Purist and her bloodbending for good. Nothing would stop them.
This is one of the shortest full chapters I have uploaded in while but it was an important chapter to show Ron's election to Presidency and end that arc of Book 3. The next chapter will switch back to the other major perspective that has been neglected for a while as not much has been going on there until now when the last arc of Book 3 begins. From this point on, the majority of events over the next few chapters are based off and drawn from the stage play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child so a slight spoiler warning as the scenes do mimic them to a fair extend, probably more so then most chapters in this series do. This will also be the last time that any chapters in this series draws directly from the source material of Harry Potter books/play as Books 4 and 5 are almost all my own ideas with only a few parallels to the Avatar series in Book 4. That is all for this post chapter note, as always please like, favorite, follow, review, this story and any questions asked in reviews or PMs will be answered at the start of the next chapter. Until next time.
