Fleur felt a sharp pain go through her body, the beauty forced a smile as she watched her boyfriend attempts to play the piano."Guess musical talent isn't universal" He stopped and turned at her, an optimistic look in his eyes. One that she had never seen before. The young woman smiled, this one was genuine, his voice interrupting her train of thought. "Everything okay?"

Fleur snapped back into reality. "Yeah, sorry I just was zinking and focusing,"

"How was my playing?" She felt a lump in her throat, Harry chuckled slowly and looked down at the keys. "Don't worry, I know how bad I am at the piano. You're not the first person to try to teach me how to play. I don't think this is my instrument."

"I am just a little shocked. You're so good at zee guitar but I love you when I say zis; you 'ave no grace. But I guess you're not so great after all," The beauty stated softly as she leaned in. The young man pushed her back gently with one finger.

"Wow, you really don't sugar coat do you?" he joked.

"I am French," she stated in a slightly smug tone.

"I don't see how that has to do with anything," the young man placed his hands back on the instrument. Playing it softly. She watched as his hands moved gracefully over each key. Despite him missing the correct note, his form drew her attention.

"You 'ave good 'ands. They are gentle,"

"Thanks, my dad kinda hammered in me not pressing down on the strings." She watched as his demeanor changed momentarily. The beauty placed a hand on his shoulder, giving him a comforting smile in the process.

"We don't 'ave to talk about 'im, baby," he turned his head towards her with a shocked look.

"Baby? You've never called me baby,"

Fleur chuckled softly and kissed his cheek. "Better late zan never right? We did make it official not too long ago,"

"Did we ever make it official?" the pair looked at one another and soon burst into laughter. The wizard looked around the carriage, his eyes seemed to be fixated on the decorations. "I'm surprised that there's no one here,"

"I kinda told everyone I need time to study," The beauty gave him a devious grin.

"So that's why you told me to come over,"

"Problem?" the witched whispered as she leaned in, planting a kiss on his lips.

"You just have everyone in the palm of your hands don't you?"

Fleur leaned in close to his ear. She let off a soft breath and felt a shiver go down his spine. "Oh, you know 'ow good I am wiz my mouth 'Arry. I can get anyone to do anyzing" she stated in a sultry tone. "Remember zat time, we-" he suddenly shook his head. Fleur chuckled a bit at the sight of his face turning beet red. "At least I know I can make you blush,"

"You can make me do a lot of things," He stopped her before she was able to get her thoughts out. "Stop it, Fleur," She wrapped her arms around him, leaning onto his shoulder. He leaned down, resting on her head. It wasn't long before he sat up, grabbing her face gently. "I never noticed this scar,"

The witch traced the spot never her jawline. "Oh, zat. You don't want to know,"

"Is it that bad?"

"No, it's just embarrassing,"

"I promise I won't judge,"

"It's not zat crazy of a story. I was little and ran around dressed as a princess. I tripped and fall against the corner of the table. Zere was more blood zen zis scar makes it seem,"

"You're right, that was embarrassing," She slapped him on the arm softly. "Alright sorry, how come I've never seen it?"

"I'm pale 'Arry. Besides, don't zink I 'aven't noticed 'ow grabby you've been wiz me." she shot him an annoyed but playful look. "I'm not surprised you didn't even notice my haircut,"

"You got a haircut?" he stated in a slightly panicked tone.

"No, but see, you need to listen more," He rolled his eyes and kissed her forehead.

"Have people told you, you can be annoying sometimes?"

"Ow dare you, I am but a saint," The beauty turned away in a huff, crossing her arms.

"Saint wouldn't be the word I use,"

"Alright, no more grabbing my rear zen," suddenly she felt him grab her sides. "'EY"

"Well now I know you're ticklish," She turned towards him, the young man planted a kiss on her before she could say anything. She relaxed as he pulled back.

"You're annoying too, 'Arry,"

"You're stuck with me," Fleur groaned and pushed him back a bit.

"I don't zink I could be wiz you if you tickle me all zee time"

"Oh, quiet you," Fleur let out a giggle as he pulled her in by her waist. They share another kiss before she relaxed in his arms.

"So, what's zee dumbest zing you did as a kid? Mr. Perfect,"

"Well let's see, I almost blew up my house,"

"Wha- 'Ow?"

"I was trying to make soup and I forgot to take out the spoon,"

"Oh for goodness sake 'Arry,"

"Hey, I was 11,"

"Zat doesn't excuse it!" the couple shared a quick laugh. "Microwave? What's it like using one?"

Harry raised his brow. "Have you never used one? I thought your dad was muggleborn?"

"'E is, but my family is very rich. I've never cooked my own meals in my life,"

"That must be nice, I hated cooking for my grandparents. They wanted it a specific way or they wouldn't eat it." Fleur couldn't help but smile.

"Zee grass is always greener, 'Arry. My parents were never around when I was a kid. I 'ad plenty of nannies and servants zough. Zee staff was more like parents to me zen zey ever was,"

"That must have been lonely," she smiled and held on to his hand tightly.

"It was for a while, but zen Gabby was born. I took care of 'er growing up and when she was old enough. She began to understand 'ow our family was. I tried to shield 'er from it but she will know zee truzz someday,"

Harry wrapped his arm around her shoulder, she leaned closer to him. "We can only do so much Fleur. Sooner or later they'll know the truth," A silence appeared, she didn't see his face but she felt him tense up as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to.

"Can I ask you something?" his voice was barely a whisper as if he didn't want to ask the question at all.

"Yeah, always," she said in the same tone.

"Do you want kids?"

Fleur felt her body tense up and looked at him in shock. "Are you-"

A panic came on his face. "No, no, no. That's not what I meant," she couldn't help but laugh. "I just wanted to know what's your view on family and stuff," he managed to get out.

She leaned in and pecked him on the lips. "You're a dork. I'll be 'onest. I 'aven't really zought about it. My maman used to always tell me 'if you're not a proper lady, you won't ever 'ave kids'. So I kinda just ignored her from zat point on. I 'aven't 'ad a boyfriend until you, remember zat. Do you want kids?"

"Not really. I think after Adrian I won't be wanting kids anytime soon."

Fleur laughed through her nose. "Well, I know zat you will be a great dad one day, I am zee luckiest girl,"

He smiled "You're-" he stopped for a moment. "You're pretty okay, Fleur,"

The beauty shook her head. "I love you,"


"Hold-" Harry held his breath as Finn slowly spewed a jet of flames from his wand. "Now, release," The flame died down quickly. The young man walked over to the Irishman, whose face was drained of color. "You good?"

"Bloody hell, I don't know how you are able to cast that spell so easily,"

"It's just the Fire-making charm, we were taught it in our second year," the young man turned towards the target, who was covered in dark soot.

"You're so good with fire aren't you?" the Englishman gave a smug smile before holding up his hand, quickly snapping his fingers. Soon in the palm of his hand appeared a small ball of cold fire. Finn rolled his eyes before quickly knocking the flame out of Harry's palm, it died quickly as it fell. "I get it,"

"Just focus,"

"I need a breather," the redhead plopped on the ground in defeat. "When is Micheal supposed to be here? Where the hell is he anyways?"

"He's in a meeting with a minister worker, some kind of job interview. He said he'll be back by four."

"He needs to get back soon, why don't you know the point me spell?"

"Well, I know my way around the school and England is an island. I never thought I would need it. Why are you making me teach you how to shoot fire, are you planning to burn down the maze?" Harry chuckled as he looked over at his friend, who was now laying on the ground.

"I'll try anything at this point. Fleur is the clear leader and she doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Unless…."

"I'm not gonna let you sabotage my girlfriend," he stated bluntly.

"Worth the try. I've been meaning to ask, how are you two gonna deal with the summer?"

"She invited me to stay with her"

"What about Adrian and Rose?"

"She said she would let them stay with us," Harry stated bluntly, avoiding Finn's eyes.

"What's going on? You're not having doubts about Fleur are you?"

"No, nothing like that. It's just that I thought I would have everything figured out by now, I don't mind staying with my grandparents before I find my own place but that means I have to find a job, and with that being said. I don't know where to even start to find a good-paying job."

"What did you do this year? Didn't you have interviews? Job offers with the ministry?"

"I got plenty but I can't pay muggle bills with wizard money. The UK government doesn't exactly accept magical coins as an acceptable form of currency."

"You know what you should do?"

"Hmm?"

"Take the money and travel the world with Fleur. See sights, get to know each other, make memories,"

"How is-"

The Irishman held up a firm hand. "Stop, you have been nothing but a hard worker for the last few years. Your family would love a vacation to France. Just do it, Fleur seems like she will do everything to help you out,"

"I don't know,"

"All jokes aside, Harry. If anyone would be a good sister-in-law for your siblings. Fleur is more than better. She cares about you and she knows what it's like to have a younger sibling to care about. Just trust her,"

"Abi really has gotten to you hasn't she?"

"There's a time and place for everything," The pair smiled as they looked off into the distance. Their time at Hogwarts was almost over.


"Faster" Fleur locked her vision on the hail of spells coming at her face. "You have to be faster, come on!" the voice of her trainer rang through her ear.

It was almost over


Fleur held back her tears as she felt a pair of tiny arms hug her. "Gabby, I'm glad you're safe." The young woman looked up at Isaac. He smiled widely at her.

"You ready?"

"As ready I can be for a maze."

"I know you got this,"


"Take a deep breath Finn, you're going in second. You can't be afraid. I know you're tough,"

The Irishman slowly wrapped the bracer around his arm. Harry watched as the young man took a deep breath and double-checked himself. He turned towards his friends.

"I'm ready"


"I love you," she felt him hold her close. "No matter what, I'm proud of you."

"I love you 'Arry Potter,"


Fleur ran through the entrance of the maze as quickly as she could, it didn't take long before she ran into her first challenge. The young woman barely dodged a large fireball that seemed to come out of nowhere. She looked up to see what could only be described as a gross mass of scorpion parts.

"The hell is that thing?" it didn't give her time to think before shooting another blast of fire. She blocked the shot before returning a stun, the creature was fazed for a moment. The beauty quickly ran out of its sight. She aimed her wand at the creature. She cast a quick bit of silent magic, sending it into the sky.

Every part of the maze looked the exact same. The young woman walked slowly, she felt like there were a hundred eyes on her. Suddenly a dark figure lunged at her. She froze in fear, it was her. She was standing right there. Except she was different. She looked like her mother. Her hair was perfectly neat, the perfect length; her face, the perfect blend of color. The young woman took a deep breath and aimed her wand at the creature. "Riddikulus!" in an instant, 'she' was hailed with a rain of snowballs. Everything got messed up. The beauty smiled and made her way deeper.

Fleur continued deeper into the maze, the fog made navigating the cramp spaced even more difficult. "Now, where the hell do I go?" A rustling sound from behind the beauty forced her to turn around, only to be met by a dark figure. She squinted her eyes before suddenly she was met with a sharp pain that went all over her body, her wand falling to the ground. The young woman let out a blood-curdling scream.

She felt her body twist in every direction, she fell slowly to her knees. Her attacker remained at a distance, concealing their identity. But just as quickly as the pain started, it suddenly stopped. However, Fleur felt her body continue to shake. Her vision remained blurry. She began to fall forward but was momentarily stopped but she seemed to be too heavy for the person to handle. She got on her hands and knees. Her breath was heavy, her vision slowly cleared up. But every part of her still felt like it was being ripped apart.

"Are you okay, lass?" the beauty looked up to a familiar face.

"What 'appened?"

"You got attacked,"

"By who?"

"By Krum," a second voice appeared. Fleur looked over and noticed the second Hogwarts champion. Neville. He was covered in dirt. "I'm sorry for dropping you,"

Fleur chuckled softly. "Don't worry about eet, I should thank you,"

"Don't mention it," The Irishman stated as he walked back to Krum.

"What did you do to 'im?"

"I gave him a good Celtic cross,"

"Celtic cross?" Fleur asked.

"He punched him," Neville answered bluntly.

"I see," Fleur felt her body slowly calm down, her mind was still in a bit of shock. "'Ow did you guys find me?"

"We heard you scream, then we came running. That was when I found Krum here casting an unforgivable curse,"

"The Cruciatus Curse," She felt sick to her stomach. "Why would 'e do zat?"

"I wouldn't be so hard on the guy, he wasn't in his senses,"

"What do you mean?" Fleur watched as the Irishman shot a distress signal into the air.

"His eyes, he was under the Imperious curse. Someone's controlling him."

Fleur and Neville looked at one another, neither not knowing what to say. "What are you saying Finn?" The boy asked.

"Someone's messing with the tournament. Think about it, that whole thing with that minister worker and now this? There's something going on,"

"Hey!" A voice called out from the darkness. The beauty felt a smile come on her face as she saw Harry come out of the fog. Their eyes met and he quickly ran over to her. He hugged her tightly. "Are you okay?" Her body was still in pain.

"I'm fine, but 'Arry please let me go, it 'urts," he released her but kept holding her hand. He placed one hand on her cheek.

"Are you sure?"

Fleur smiled and kissed his hand. "I'm okay, I promise, I just need some time," she whispered. Harry nodded and turned towards his friend.

"Are you guys alright?" his vision turned toward the unconscious Krum. "I'm guessing he had something to do with this?"

"You guessed right"

"Why is his face bloodied?" Harry asked with narrow eyes.

"I'm Irish," Finn stated with a sly smile. The Englishman shook his head and turned back to Fleur. The young man stood up, offered a hand. The beauty got up slowly and leaned onto Harry.

"I'll get Fleur out of here, I'll make sure someone comes for Krum. Are you two okay continuing on or do you want to end this?"

The two champions looked at each other but before they could answer, a ball of green light was quickly hurdled towards "What the hell?"

A sinister laugh was heard as a fat figure walked out from the darkness. Harry kept his wand up, Finn quickly joining the Englishman. He quickly handed Fleur her wand. The young woman tried to stand up straight but a sharp pain took over her. "It's okay Fleur," she watched as the young wizard placed his hand to protect her. "What do you want Peter?" Harry asked with venom in his voice.

"Harry, look how-"

"Stay the hell back or I will blow you into pieces" the emerald-eyed wizard grimly stated as he aimed his wand at the fat man.

"Oh, Harry, is that how you talk to your Uncle Peter?" the fat man asked in a gross, cowardly voice.

Harry quickly cast the disarming curse at the man's feet. "Back off, now,"

"I'm sorry Harry," the man reached into his shirt and suddenly threw a bright ball at the four of them. Fleur felt her body twist into many pieces before hitting the ground hard. Her body felt like it was being stabbed by a thousand white hot knives.

"What the hell?" Finn grown. The beauty watched as the Irishman looked off in one direction. A growl left his body as he ran off. A horrified scream was heard not long after. She looked around. Finn was curled up on the ground.

She looked around for the other two, Harry made his presence known very quickly. "Everyone stay behind me," his voice was faintly heard.

"We need to get Finn,"

"I will just wait," The young woman kept falling in and out of pain. "How's Fleur?"

She felt the boy carefully check on her. "She's alive. But hurt, we need to get out of here," The world slowly faded from Fleur.


Harry kept his wand pointed at the figures in front of him, Finn was laying in between them; clutching the area that used to be his right hand. "What do you want with us?" He kept his arm high as he felt Neville holding to him tightly.

Peter stepped forward to what seemed to be a baby in a bundle. "We just want the boy, you don't need to get hurt, Harry,"

"Give us Finn then,"

"Now, we can't do that, our dark lord wouldn't-" Anger overtook the young man. He looked around the graveyard they were forced to come to. Fleur was unconscious, Finn was bleeding out, and Neville was terrified. Harry took a deep breath.

He held his wand high, unleashing his signature spell. "What the-" He listened to the scream of many of the unlucky ones. His composure didn't break. He watched the sky as many flew off, as he turned back he watched Neville slowly drag Finn behind him. As he looked back, he suddenly felt a cold feeling in his stomach. His grip on his wand was weak. He fell slowly to his knee; he looked up at the disgusting face of Peter Pettigrew.

"Oh Harry, you're so much like James. So strong but so foolish." the old man shoved the young man to the ground. The Ravenclaw couldn't do anything as the fat man pulled Neville to a gravestone. Harry felt his clothes slowly fill with blood.

Every voice was getting weak. The world was fading.


As Fleur opened her eyes, the most horrifying sight stood before her. A skinny, naked, human-like thing was forming over a cauldron. "What the hell?"

The figure slowly stood up, she couldn't make out what it was or who it was. Her eyes moved over to the rest of the scene. She felt her body run cold, she watched as Harry lay still. Mustering every strength in her body, the beauty slowly crawled over to him. As she drew near. She felt the ground getting wet.

The undeniable smell consumed her. She held back tears as the heat inside her body built up. The beauty drew from her remaining strength. As she stood up, she felt eyes on her. "Oh look at that, Harry's whore. What should I do with her?"

"Kill all of them," The fat man walked over to her, aiming his wand. The Veela looked at him for a moment, and in a heartbeat, she was engulfed in flames. The beauty looked at the excuse of a human being in her hand.

"DID YOU DO THIS!?" she screeched at the man. She watched as a look of fear consumed the man.

"I- I -I" the Veela stared the man dead in the eyes as she create a blue flame in her hand. The middle-aged wizard's scream echoed through the night as his body slowly turned into ash. She turned to the one who gave the command. He gave her a wide grin.

"My, what a beautiful monster. I'm gonna love killing you," the creature aimed his wand at Fleur. She watched as he screamed in a horrible voice, she quickly dodged the green ball. She dived down next to the man hitting him with the back of her claw. She watched as the pale creature went flying through the air.

"FLEUR!" she turned and watched as Neville held a glowing sphere in his hand. Harry and Finn laid by his feet. He motioned for the beauty. She quickly dived down to the ground, she soon felt her body being pulled apart.


"HARRY WAKE UP," the young man shot his eye open as he felt his body being shaken. He found Finn looking down at him. "Wake the hell up,"

The emerald-eye wizard sat up slowly, looking around the room. "Where are we?"

"You're in limbo," A familiar voice called out.

"Who are you?!" Finn shouted.

"Who do you think I am?"

"Are you serious?" The Irishman continued to yell at the voice. "Why do you have us here?"

"Well it wasn't my fault you got yourself close to death"

"Let us go!"

"Relax, if I wanted you dead, it would have already happened. I'll see you around." Harry suddenly felt like he was being pushed and soon he was free-falling.


"WHAT THE-" Harry felt a weight suddenly push him down. He turned to find Fleur smiling at him.

"'Ey,"

"Fleur? Where am I?" he looked around, slowly taking in his surrounding.

"You're in zee medical wing. You got injured." Reality set back to Harry.

"Where's Finn?!"

"I'm over here," the Englishman turned to him his friend seated in a bed. Micheal and Abi sat by his side. His arm was bandaged at the top where his hand once was.

"Your hand…" the Irishman waved it off.

"Don't worry about it, it's just a hand. I'm a leftie anyways." Finn stated in a neutral tone. Seemingly trying not to show any emotions.

"He had a while to cope with it," Abi added. "Try to get some rest, it's been a long night for all of you."

"What happened?" Harry asked bluntly. Everyone looked over at Fleur. The beauty sat with a sheepish smile.

"Well, according to Neville. She loves you so much that she learned to control her powers when she thought she lost you. She also beat the shit out of Voldemort," Micheal stated with a wide smile. The emerald-eyed wizard held his beloved hand. She leaned slowly on his shoulders. The mood in the room changed. For the better. "So I'm gonna go see how things are with Dumbledore, I'll keep you guys updated." The Gryffindor quickly left the room.

Abi turned and smiled at Finn. "Do you want to go for a walk?" The Irishman looked over at Harry before giving a quick smile. The young man climbed out of the bed and seemed to have sprinted out of the room with Abi. Fleur chuckled and planted a kiss on the young man's cheek.

"Your friends aren't subtle."

"How are you feeling?" Fleur looked at him in shock before grabbing his hand.

"I'm okay. Just a little tired but I'm okay."

"Your powers?"

"Oh zat, don't laugh okay?" she stated as she leaned into him.

"No, why would I laugh?" he stated softly as he held her hand. The beauty sighed and rested her head on his shoulders.

"I'm ugly when I'm like zat and when I zought I lost you...I wanted to burn down zee world," she stated rather bluntly. The young man chuckled and then quickly pulled onto the bed with him. "I still need some work wiz it zough. So be patient wiz me,"

"I love you, you pyromaniac,"

"'Ey, I was actually afraid I was gonna lose you. But, I love you too," she planted a kiss on his lips. The couple held each other tightly. They didn't seem to know anything else to do.

"So what now?"

"Zee tournament is over. Zey said zere is no winner, zey are saying it's for zee best,"

"Hmm, what do you want to do now?"

"'Onestly? I just want to sleep," The pair slowly lay down on the bed. It barely fit the two of them. "I'm glad you're okay 'Arry." The young woman looked up at him, a stern look on her face. "I don't ever want to lose you,"

"I promise that I will always find my way to you." a bright smile came on her face.

"And I promise to always be 'ere for you,"

Green and blue clashed. Neither willing to look away.


"So what now?" Harry asked as he continued to pack his things. Finn flipped slowly through the black book. The loss of a hand didn't seem to affect him. Not in a major way at least.

"Well, we know the warriors are real."

"I think that wasn't an issue," Micheal commented. His eyes were firmly out of the window. "I don't know what our plan is,"

The three stopped and looked at one another. Harry was the first to speak up. "Well, I think I will be in France with Fleur for the summer. I could have her translate the book for us."

"I have to work with my father for the ministry. I will look at that bow."

"You two don't have to do this you know?"

"Hmm, hammer us about it all year, now you're backing out?" Harry teased.

"I lost a hand, Harry," he stated, holding up his stump. The Ravenclaw chuckled and walked over.

"And I got stabbed. This is Hogwarts, crazy things always happen to all of us. We've had our share of crazy adventures together." The young man slowly finished packing the rest of his things, placing his suitcase down. Hedwig chirped in annoyance as he moved her cage.

"So you lads are really gonna help me with this?"

The two Englishmen made brief eye contact. "We weren't gonna let do it by yourself and besides. It's for your father." Micheal stated as he walked towards the door. "Look, we will have plenty of time to talk about this, we have to get ready. The boat ceremony is happening in an hour. Also, Harry, you might want to hurry if you want to say goodbye to Fleur,"

Finn nodded as he made his way to the door and joined Micheal as the pair walked down the stairs. Harry made his way to the doorway, but not before stopping to look back at the room. He cracked a small smile.

"Long live Ravenclaw,"


"You promise to call me when you get to Manchester?" Fleur asked with puppy dog eyes as she gripped his hand. Harry smiled as he pulled her in for a kiss.

"Yes, I promise. What happened to the ice queen?" The beauty leaned close to his ears.

"You made 'er yours," she whispered as she softly bit his ear. "I'm gonna miss you,"

"We will see each other in a few weeks,"

"I know but still." A moment of silence came between the pair. The beauty spoke first. "I'm always gonna be yours 'Arry."

"I'm yours," the pair locked lips slowly for the last time. At least for a while.


"Take a good look boys, we are no longer students." Harry leaned back into the boat, he smiled as his friends watched their school get smaller and smaller in the distance. The Irishman turned back towards the emerald-eyed wizard, before pulling out a flask from his jacket. He quickly took a drink.

"Really Finn?" Micheal asked in annoyance.

"What? It's an Irish tradition," The two Englishmen rolled their eyes before sharing the drink.


AN: Surprise. So I wanted to address a few things. No, I didn't quit this story, I want to finish this story but life is always changing. Anyways. Some may have noticed but I added titles to each chapter. Not only that, I did a whole retcon of the entire story. To avoid some confusion. The 'New' chapter 18 (This one, is the official 18) the old chapter 18 was combined with chapter 17 and is now just chapter 17. Anyways, I wasn't happy with the grammar. I released this nearly three years ago and my writing is always changing and growing. I went back and changed a lot of the chapters. Mostly for clarity reasons. But while it is not necessary to reread the chapters. I highly recommend it as some things were rewritten and a few were added. They mainly addressed issues I had, things like the side characters feeling one-dimensional ('Old' Finn was not my favorite) and just major dialogue not feeling great. Anyways. Thank you for staying with me and I hope to see all of you around. - BOL
