Chapter 21 Madness

Harry felt stiff, he tried to push himself to sitting position but couldn't move his arms they were bond to his sides by something. He opened his eyes his glasses were gone though he didn't need them to see that he was in a brightly lighted room with one bed in. He lifted his head and glanced down his body. He was laying flat on his back in the bed and saw that there were numerous white straps tying him tightly to the bed. He felt his anger flare insanity.

"LET ME OUT!" He yelled in the empty room hoping that someone would hear him "I'M NOT INSANE! I WANT FLEUR! LET ME OUT! NOW!" he continued screaming for few minutes until a nurse opened the door and entered.

"Mr Potter?" She asked carefully.

Harry didn't want to reply or even acknowledge her presence so he stared up at the white ceiling ignoring her completely.

"Would you like to eat some lunch?" The nurse asked, carefully approaching him.

"Like I wound eat anything you gave me," Harry snarled, "I don't trust you, I don't trust anyone!"

"I assure you Mr Potter we have a very high security here at St Mungo's." The Nurse said and pulled a little cart with food into the room, "You promised me at breakfast that you wouldn't argue again."

"I never had breakfast." Harry spat "Do you think I'm stupid?"

"No" The Nurse replied, "Just a little stressed"

"Where is Dumbledore?" Harry asked forcefully "Has he snapped my wand yet?"

"No, I told you… don't you remember?" The nurse asked gently.

"I remember cursing Snape." Harry replied and felt a rush of happiness. He smiled widely as he remembered Snape laying face down in the mud shaking madly.

"Did I do it, has he lost his mind?" He asked hopefully.

"Mr Potter surly you really don't want Professor Snape to lose his mind?" The nurse asked smiling as if knowing better then him.

"That's my business" Harry snapped, "He is here isn't he?"

"Snivellus, can you hear me?" Harry called before the nurse had time to answer, "Mr Potter sends his hello!"

"Professor Snape can not hear you through these walls." The nurse explained gently.

"So he is really here, did I manage?"

"Yes, unfortunately he is here and no luckily professor Snape will be able to return to Hogwarts in a couple of days, perhaps a week"

"Hear that Snivellus?" Harry yelled even though the nurse had said that Snape couldn't "But don't worry, next time I'll make sure you end up with the Longbottoms.

"Mr Potter," the Nurse said firmly "We will not be able to let you out of here unless you can control your desires to curse people.

"I can control my desires." Harry snarled "I didn't curse McGonagall or Selena, did I?"

"That is very good, Mr Potter hopefully in a few weeks you will be able to move to a half open ward." The Nurse said approvingly.

"Fleur will come and get me!" Harry said angrily "She won't let me stay here!"

"Unfortunately Fleur has not woken up yet"

"What have you done to her?" Harry asked, he vaguely remembered McGonagall telling him that Fleur was ill. He now blamed the nurse for it.

"I have done nothing to Miss Delacour." The Nurse said softly ignoring his unfair accusation "She fainted on her way to her office in Hogwarts last night."

Harry smiled he remembered Fleur telling him in Grimmauld Place that she had fainted once before on Halloween.

"May I ask why you are smiling?" The nurse asked and pushed a fork with some kind of meat into his mouth, Harry who had forgotten completely that he had said that he was not going to eat anything ate the food happily.

"She has fainted once before on Halloween," Harry said "when she was little, and I said that…"

Harry started to cry abruptly, "She will be okay won't she? Promise me she will" Harry sobbed miserably.

"She will probably wake up at any moment." The Nurse said soothingly and fed him a piece of potato. Harry didn't say anything for the rest of the meal.

"I'll see you in a few hours" The Nurse called, Harry didn't reply but the Nurse didn't seem to have expected a reply because she quickly closed the door.

"Harry," A soft voice woke him he had fallen asleep a few minutes after the nurse had left him, "Wake up Harry."

Harry opened his eyes and saw Dumbledore leaning over him Ron and Hermione close behind, watching him nervously.

"What happened?" Ron asked seriously when he saw that Harry had opened his eyes. Hermione gave the straps that tied him a swift glance as Harry tried to pull lose.

"GET THEM OFF ME!" Harry yelled angrily when he realised that he couldn't even move an inch. Ron and Hermione jumped at his sudden outburst and gave each other a horror-struck look. Then as sudden as his outburst Harry started laughing.

"I nearly did it Ron, he's in here with me." Harry said happily "Did you a favour Professor Dumbledore, let me lose and I'll finish it!"

Hermione gasped and Ron shuttered, Dumbledore however did not seem to notice his words.

"Harry" Dumbledore said gravely, "You have used a very powerful and dark curse so many times that it has robbed you temporarily of your sanity."

"Nope" Harry disagreed carelessly oblivious to Dumbledore's penetrating gaze "You are just saying that so that I won't have to go to Azkaban for murder and use of the cruciatus curse"

Dumbledore sighed heavily "Very well Harry"

"That's not true!" Hermione burst out "Harry you got a serious case of Spell exhaustion and Spell shock"

Harry stared at her not understanding a word she said but soon snapped out of it "Hey Ron, can you imagine I got about twenty spiders!"

"T-that's great." Ron stammered uncertainly.

"Knew what the best part was?" Harry asked not waiting for an answer, "They recognized me! They called me friend of Hagrid It was so great the last one even pleaded for it's life wish I had killed it more slowly now."

"Oh" Said Ron too shocked to think of a better reply.

"Yeah and then Professor Snivellus turned up" Harry said dreamily with a huge smile across his face "Did you hear him scream? I never knew he could scream like that, especially when I aimed at his head, bet…"

Harry started to sob with out a warning for the second time that day "McGonagall said… Fleur!"

The three visitors looked at him carefully.

"GET ME OUT OF HERE!" Yelled Harry, furiously trying to escape his straps "We got to go and rescue Fleur they have taken her!"

"Who has taken her?" Hermione asked gently.

"Argh!" Harry said irritably "You are so stupid! The nurse of course, she has taken Fleur so that she won't come and release me."

"Harry" Dumbledore said, "Fleur has not been taken by anyone she is just unconscious, that is why she isn't here."

"Oh" Harry whispered as if Dumbledore just let him in on a big secret, "You are tricking them, very clever. Hear that Hermione you got to pretend at least or it won't be credible."

"Right" Hermione said tears building up in her eyes "don't worry Harry it will all be okay."

"Is that why I'm here Professor Dumbledore, I'm tricking him as well?" Said Harry eagerly "This is so great! Snivellus won't know what hit him, he'll be right up with the Longbottoms before he'll even know what hit him."

"What do you think Hermione?" Harry asked, "Think Malfoy will fall for it too?"

"Sure" Hermione replied glancing hopelessly over at Ron who glanced back at her with an equally hapless expression.

The Nurse that had served Harry lunch a few hours earlier entered the room with her food cart.

"That's enough for today, it is time dinner," The Nurse said softly.

"Oh" Dumbledore said looking down on his wizard watch "Yes indeed, time flies Isabella… see you in a couple of days Harry"

"Bye Harry" Hermione said forcing a smile.

"See you" Ron said.

"Yeah! And don't forget no matter what, we need to trick them!" Harry replied and his friends left his isolated room leaving him alone with the nurse.

"Trick them?" The nurse asked gently and begun feeding him as the door closed.

"Yes" Harry said completely serious "But I can't tell you or will never get Snape, he's tricky himself you see…"

"I can imagine" The Nurse said absentmindedly and stuffed some food into him.

"You got to watch out for him you know" Harry mumbled his mouth to full to speak clearly.

"Really?" The nurse asked mildly interested.

"Yeah stay away from him or he'll do horrible stuff." Harry said warningly.

"Like what" The nurse asked and fed him another mouthful.

"He might grease on you." Harry said grimly as if there was nothing more horrible in the world.

"Oh" The nurse said in face enthusiasm, "I'll keep that in mind… open up"

"I have a couple of potions I want you to take…" The nurse said uncertainly when he was full, "You will swallow them like good boy?"

"Why wouldn't I… they are not poison are they?" Harry asked narrowing his eyes suspiciously.

"No certainly not!" the Nurse said indignantly "One is a Memory Concoction and the other The Draught of Peace and if you want I have a mild sleep potion."

"Okay" Harry said thinking fast "We have to trick them so I'll take the Memory Concoction and The Draught of Peace but I need to stay awake if Snape or Voldemort tries to get me."

"Don't say the name" The nurse hissed forgetting her professional manner completely.

"What are you a mudblood?" Harry asked not even reflecting over his use of the word 'Mudblood', "He doesn't like mudbloods even if his dad was a muggle. He's not a very decent wizard, killed both my parents, you know."

"Weren't your mother muggle-born?" The nurse asked.

"Yep" Harry replied happily and then contorted his face in anger "Snape called her a mudblood once"

"That was not nice of him" The Nurse said "Is that why you cursed him?"

"Not only" Harry replied grimly "He's a greasy old git… haven't you seen him?"

The nurse didn't reply instead she poured the vial containing the draught of peace down his throat, a warm numbness spread through his body. Harry took a deep breath, his lounges seemed to fill much easier with air then usual and he felt very peaceful. The nurse smiled at him and poured the memory concoction down his throat.

"We'll get him won't we?" Harry asked triumphantly he knew Snape would fall for this.

"Rest now and I'll serve you breakfast tomorrow. If we are lucky Fleur will wake up and visit you then" The Nurse said.

Harry didn't reply he didn't hear what the nurse had said, he was too busy picturing Snape screaming and shaking on the muddy ground. He didn't even notice when the nurse left the room, a few hours later the lights went out and Harry fell asleep.

He dreamed of Fleur. He was standing next to her she was sleeping in a similar bed as his but without straps, next to the bed stood a table full of flowers and cards. Most of the cards were from male Hogwarts students but he also found one from Tonks, one from Ron and Hermione and finally a card in French from her aunt Nancy in Beauxbaton. Harry smiled sadly in his dream.

"Fleur" He whispered softly. It was strange he was his usual old self in his dream world, not insane at all.

"Fleur" He repeated more loudly when she didn't notice him at all.

"Harry" She muttered sleepily, she stirred and suddenly her eyes opened.

"Harry" She said and again looking around in the room after him but she didn't seem to be able to see him. She looked over at the table next to her bed and smiled as she saw all her cards and flowers. She sat up and started looking through them. Harry understood after a moment that she was looking after something from him.

"Fleur" He tried to say but he couldn't make a sound, he tried to grab her but somehow he couldn't, perhaps he though this was not that kind of dream. The door to Fleur's room opened, an old nurse Harry didn't recognize entered.

"Miss Delacour I am so happy to see that you are finally awake." The old nurse said.

Fleur didn't seem aware of where she was or why she was there. She gave the nurse a very blank look.

"You fainted. You were on your way to your office."

"Oh" Fleur replied as comprehension dawned on her "Where am I?"

The Nurse smiled "You gave madam Pomfrey quite a scare. Usually young witches such as yourself don't drop down like that, she feared since you are part veela that she could not treat you properly. It was decided to sent you here to St Mungo's instead."

"I see" Fleur said softly Harry could tell that she hated being reminded of being a veela "How long was I gone?"

"Almost thirty hours." The nurse said, "Have you any idea of why you lost conscious?"

"No, I once passed out when I was four" Fleur said remembering her childhood but then she snapped back to reality and added "But I hit my head then…"

"Yes we saw that in your journal," The nurse stated.

"Has Harry been here?" Fleur asked abruptly.

"No I'm sorry but Mr Potter is currently… well he's not well he's down the corridor but Albus Dumbledore was here with a young boy with read hair and that girl who got all those Os… Granger I think"

"Harry's ill?" Fleur asked paling visibly.

"Yes I am afraid he is" The nurse said and Fleur stood up.

"Please lay down, you may feel all right but we still…" The Nurse said sternly but stopped abruptly as Fleur sprouted wings and feathers.

"Don't you dare tell me to lie down!" Fleur hissed, glaring dangerously at the old nurse who looked as if she might have an heart attack any second. Harry didn't want to dream about Fleur turning into a bird not because he didn't like to see her in her bird shape just because he knew Fleur didn't like it.

Harry opened his eyes and could feel his mind speeding up, his thoughts passed in his head so fast that he soon did not have any control of them, whatsoever. Before he knew it, he was screaming for someone to get him out of there so he could visit Fleur and send Snape away for good. After a few moments of violent screaming, he could hear peoples outside his door and he fell quiet.

"GIVE ME THAT KEY!" Fleur's voice yelled he could hear by the sound of it that she was in her bird shape.

"Please, it's way after…" Someone replied desperately.

"NOW!" Fleur yelled. Perhaps his dream was true Harry thought for a fraction of a second before that thought flew out of his head to be replaced by a million others.

"Help! Security!" A scared voice yelled, "She stole my wand!"

"ALOHOMORA!" Fleur yelled and the door to Harry's room burst open violently.

"Way to go Fleur," Harry said happily "Let me lose so that we can go and finish Snape, he's here too!" Fleur however didn't seem to hear a word of what Harry was saying, she started to cry silently and dropped the stolen wand without noticing.

"Are you all right Harry?" Fleur asked uncertainly her feathers had faded away completely.

"Yes, but I'm stuck here."

"Oh, Harry" Fleur sobbed and ran over to Harry's side and hugged him through his blankets "It was just like Gabrielle… don't you ever dare scare me like that again"

Harry looked at her with a blank face.

"I never told you" Fleur choked out and started to hyperventilate "but Gabrielle… she… su-survive-ed the a-a-at-tack… she d-d-died later t-that night I..." she sobbed gave a singe hysterical sob "… I… was wi-th her"

Harry didn't know what to say, normally he would of course but now his focus slipped away from Fleur and to the fact that he was strapped tightly to his bed.

"Let me lose Fleur" Harry said, Fleur glanced at him disbelievingly she had obviously expected him to react in a different manner. She pulled her self together however and started loosen the straps.

"Hurry" Harry said, "I can't wait to get Snape, he's here too"

"Get Snape…" Fleur said "Why what has he done?"

"He's a greasy old git"

"So…" Fleur said hesitantly looking up at him "How are you going to get Snape?"

"Like the last time before they got me, I'm going to fry his brain with crucio." Harry said Fleur gaped at him in shock and horror.

"Don't worry" Harry said totally misinterpreting her shocked face "It won't be long, he won't stand many minutes more, we can get out of here in a few minutes and get back to Hogwarts or Grimmauld place it's closer"

"Harry, are you really… well?"

"Yepp" Harry said carelessly. Fleur looked down at his bindings and continued to loosen them. Soon Harry tore his right arm free and tried to sit up.

"Wingbeat?" Fleur asked uncertainly and cached his hand. Harry got a shock as of static electricity and gasped but he didn't let go of Fleur's hand. Instead, he squeezed it hard, Fleur did the same. Unlike normal static electricity, the shock was not over in a fraction of a second it continued for what felt forever. In the beginning it was horrible Harry was shaking madly as if thousands of volts passed through his body but then slowly a warm sensation spread in his body it was wonderful.

His speeding mad thoughts started to slow down and he was able to focus on Fleur, her eyes were wide in shock and perhaps pain. Harry was horrified what if he had hurt her? He tried to pull his hand loose but Fleur didn't let go instead she flashed him a blindingly white smile. Harry smiled back, the initial pain and was completely gone and the wonderful warm feeling had spread entirely through his body and mind. He took a deep breath he was not insane anymore. He had of course not realised he had been insane before but now it all came back to him.

Harry realised that Fleur had somehow cured him, probably with her veela powers.

"What happened?" Fleur asked.

"It was so horrible" Harry whispered, and suddenly realised that he was a murderer and someone who almost had driven a professor insane.

"Tell me"

"I killed them all" Harry said quietly "One even pleaded for its life, but I killed it anyway"

Fleur's eyes had gone wide "You killed someone"

"Yeah several" Harry said grimly "And then I tortured Professor Snape"

"With crucio?" Fleur asked disbelievingly looking over him as if she wasn't sure she was dreaming "I don't believe it you wouldn't ever!"

"Perhaps, you should go and find Bill again because I'm going to be in Azkaban for a pretty long time"

The door burst open again and several male security guards entered, they were going to force Fleur back to her room and probably tie her down like Harry but then they saw Fleur's sad tear streaked beautiful face.

"Ermh… you all right Miss?" One of the guards said awkwardly and drew himself up to look taller and more impressive.

"Yes" Fleur said and shook her beautiful head. The guards who had their wands drawn quickly pocketed them.

"Can we do anything, can I get you anything?" The guard who had spoken before said.

"Yes" Fleur said warmly "please leave"

"As you wish miss" The guard said, they turned and left the room. The door closed with a click, out side the nurse was yelling at the guards to do their jobs and return Fleur to her room but fortunately, they guards all refused.

"I should go and try to apologize to Snape before they come and get me to Azkaban." Harry said darkly. His future didn't look to bright but at least he knew he was guilty and felt that the only way he was ever going to be able to live with himself was if he was in prison were he belonged. He wondered what Lucius Malfoy and Dolores Umbridge would say when they saw him, then he wondered if Ron and Hermione would ever visit him after what he had done.

"I won't let them take you to Azkaban"

"I deserve Azkaban." Harry said shortly, once again trying to release Fleur's hand but she wouldn't let him.

"Let me go!"

"No I won't let you… ever"

Harry started to cry helplessly "Let go Fleur" He begged "You have no idea what I have done"

"Tell me from the beginning"

Harry continued to cry but managed to tell her how he had seen Selena disappear into the forest on his map and how he had followed her on his broom.

"Acromantulas?" Fleur sighed "I can't blame you for killing those especially as they had Selena"

"I enjoyed it! I enjoyed killing them with the curse that killed my mum and dad and they remembered me from my second year and that made everything even more wonderful, the last one tried to plead with me but I killed all the same"

"But you save her" Fleur said trying to make him see things from a brighter perspective "and the Acromantulas wouldn't have let you live if you were in their position"

"Maybe" Harry said, but didn't blame himself any less "And then we flew back to Hogwarts. I told Selena to go and see McGonagall"

"Go on" Fleur urged him when he didn't continue.

"Snape must have met her or something because he walked out to the castle and walked strait up to me, he gave me detention and then I told him that if he didn't go insane he would be able to expel me"

"Then you cursed him" Fleur stated.

"Yes" Harry replied his tears had now stopped flowing from his eyes, he hated himself more then he hated Voldemort and didn't think he deserved to waste tears on himself. "And I enjoyed it as much as flying, I would have driven him completely insane if McGonagall hadn't turned up and I was going to punish her for interrupting but then everything went black"

Fleur was silent.

"So you see I deserve Azkaban for life!"

Fleur was going to reply, no doubt to try to tell him that it was his fault even though it was when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in" Harry said before Fleur could say anything. He didn't want her to make him feel better, he deserved to be miserable.

"God evening" Albus Dumbledore said as he entered the room "I was told you had waken up Fleur and forced yourself into Mr Potter's room"

"I'm sorry headmaster" Fleur said turning pink "but I warned you that I sometimes tend to lose my temper when you offered me the position."

Dumbledore chuckled "Don't apologize for who you are especially as no harm was done."

Fleur looked very much as she wanted to argue but didn't. Dumbledore pierced Harry with his bright blue glaze.

"I see you are miraculously better as well, Harry"

Harry nodded.

"Am I correct in assuming that Fleur had anything to do with your fast recovery" Dumbledore asked his bright blue eyes twinkling.

"Yes" Harry replied "It was… well odd"

"I was untying him and grabbed hold of his hand and…"

"It hurt first and it was like thousands of volts" Harry tried to explain.

"Extraordinary" Dumbledore stated looking up at the white ceiling thoughtfully "how very extraordinary"

"Why is it extraordinary" Fleur and Harry chorused both of them apparently tired of Dumbledore's ability to give cryptic answers.

"I'm afraid I'll have to keep that to myself at the moment."

Harry wanted to be angry with Dumbledore for not telling him but he felt as if he didn't deserve to know anything after all he had done.

"I want Fleur to have everything I own except my broom I want Ginny to have it so that she can be the Gryffindor seeker. And I want Ron and Hermione to have my cloak… they can have the map too, if you don't mind Fleur?" Harry asked deciding to get the hard things over with "There won't need to be a trial I am guilty."

"There won't be any need to divide your belongings Harry," Dumbledore said seriously "Since Snape has kindly agreed not to prosecute you, and oddly enough Professor McGonagall can't remember anything from that particular night."

"That doesn't matter since I admit, Fudge won't have trouble sentencing me!" Harry said angrily.

"That's very noble of you Harry but I'm afraid it can not be permitted" Dumbledore said firmly.

"Don't make it any more difficult then it is!" Harry snapped, he took a deep breath and continued in a more calm voice "I tortured Professor Snape and I killed about twenty Acromantulas with unforgivables. How would I be able to forgive myself?"

"As to that" Dumbledore said pleasantly "you had a very severe case of spell shock, according to what Miss Malfoy told me you didn't have any choice but performing 'Avada Kedavra' numerous times and that is quite enough to make even the boldest Auror to lose his mind"

"I closed my eyes with pleasure when I heard Professor Snape scream" Harry said trying to provoke Dumbledore into sending him to Azkaban so that he could pay for his crimes.

"I find it very hard to believe that any court would find you guilty of deliberately cursing Professor Snape after what you hade just done… though as you say Fudge would probably try"

"I am guilty." Harry said stubbornly.

"Yes in a way you are" Dumbledore said smiling gently "And in that very same way Severus Snape is just as guilty. You are both adults and at the same time, you do deliberately provoke each other. If it had been young Mr Weasley who found you instead you wouldn't have cursed him"

"I nev…" Harry begun he wanted to tell Dumbledore just how bad Snape had been behaving but as he had cursed him so badly he didn't really think that he had the right to say anything bad about Snape.

"Perhaps Severus have done more wrong then right and I do admit that the circumstances have not made it easy for you and Professor Snape but challenging him for a duel was not a very good way to make new friends, especially not when you conjured that snake and used your Slytherin ability to win."

"He deserved it!" Fleur said sticking up for Harry when he wouldn't do it for himself.

"Oh, yes I even expect he would have found it very amusing had he been the head of Gryffindor instead" Dumbledore said chuckling at the thought of Snape as a Gryffindor "Still you do not afford to pick enemies in the own lines Harry"

"No sir, I'm sorry to cause trouble." Harry said now determined to do anything to earn Snape's forgiveness, perhaps Snape would forgive him if he allowed Snape to put the cruciatus curse on him. Snape would no doubt like to see him scream after all he done and said.

"That's good Harry and thank you for saving my students once more. Now I must get back to my time turner" Dumbledore said and made for the door.

"Perhaps now would be a good time to try and make up with Snape. I expect you to receive a portkey early tomorrow morning to my office" Dumbledore said and left the room before Harry or Fleur could say anything.

"Do you think he meant right now?" Harry asked nervously "It's the middle of the night he'll probably kill me if I wake him up now, that is if we are even allowed."

"We are allowed." Fleur said and flashed him briefly with her veela powers "And if they don't work, you are the-boy-who-lived."

They left the room. Harry tried to adjust the thin white Hospital robes so that they would look better but to no use.

"Dumbledore suggested that I could see Professor Snape." Harry told a nurse at the reception desk of the ward.

"Are you feeling better then, Mr Potter?" The nurse asked eyeing him carefully and performed some stars with her wand that shone green as they circled around his head.

"Yes" Harry stated though it was a lie. He felt as bad as when he was about to face his Horntail in his fourth year.

"You seem to be well enough Me Potter." The nurse said and gave Fleur a very hostile glance as if Fleur under no circumstances would be allowed to accompany him. Harry grabbed Fleur's hand to show the nurse that Fleur was going with him no matter what. He smiled innocently at the nurse hoping to play on his fame.

"Follow me then Mr Potter and Miss Delacour"

"From now on you are officially a veela." Fleur whispered, the nurse was walking in front of them and would probably not listen to closely to what they said.

"Today in other words" Harry said grimly "I would have a bigger chance surviving fighting my horntail with a flammable feather duster then waking Snape in the dead of night"

"Was that an insult?" Fleur asked in mock anger.

"Well" Harry replied, "Your office is not exactly dusty is it?"

"You're lucky you're in hospital Potter" Fleur stated "Mention me having feathers one more time and I might show them before I flame you."

"You don't scare me veela!"

"Oh yeah" Fleur replied, "I happen to notice that you don't have your wand to save you"

The nurse cleared her throat; she had stopped in front of a door and was watching their playful argument. Harry and Fleur blushed.

"Professor Severus Snape's room" The nurse said and walked away.

"I think that perhaps you better go in alone." Fleur said.

"Yes" Harry agreed, he didn't want Snape to think that he needed Fleur there to apologize, that is if Snape would listen to him before executing him.

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

I figured Dumbledore wouldn't be too hard on Harry since he saved Selena and wasn't responsible for his actions when he cursed Snape.

Please review (even if the following chapter is already posted).

Now I'm off to bed night!
