AN: Sorry for the super long wait. Let's forgo excuses and get right to it.

This story is getting a bit of an overhaul. Due to the inability to link fics in series here of FF I am going to keep this as one monster fic. But in my mind (and on AO3) it is as 2 part series. Part one being the Harry Potter stuff that is currently happening and part 2 starts when Harry goes to America.

Angels and Archangels in my mind are first and foremost warriors. I think of them as like our top marines, navy seals, ect. They do not like to lose. So Harry is going to try his best to win this competition.

There were only 2 things on the minds and tongues of the students. Harry and his ride on the dragon and quidditch. The Slytherin/Ravenclaw game had already been held and the Gryffindor/Dunstrang game was scheduled for Saturday. Everyone wanted to see Krum vs Potter. Hermione had a bit of a giggle at them. She had become friends with the oddly shy Bulgarian and knew he was not going to be on the team his school put together.

Krum told her that while he loved flying and playing the game there was no sport in playing on a team as bad as theirs. Viktor was amazed he had gone pro, Dunstrang had a terrible quidditch presents and if not for going to a specialty camp he would have never been scouted (1).

Most of the students were bummed and some even felt sorry for the Dunstrang team. They ended up losing 510 to 0. Ron turned out to be as fierce as Oliver with twice as much to prove.

The next big announcement was the Yule Ball. Harry threw a fit. He finally came to an agreement with Professor McGonagall. He would attend the ball BUT he was going home for Christmas. Sirius would escort him back to school for the event and say as a chaperone, taking him back home at the end of the night.

Then came his next problem. Who to ask to the dance. After much debate Harry asked both Luna and Colin to go as his dates so that they would get to attend.

The dance its self was a blast. Harry spent most of the night on the floor with his friends. HE danced with every girl he could find, save Pansy Parkinson who turned him down. He even danced with professor Sprout and Vector. He didn't shy away from the boys either. Each of the twins lead him out for a song and to Hermione's delight and amusement Viktor even asked for a dance claiming he felt left out, being the only person at their table not to dance with Harry. Everyone loved his and Dean's 'passionate' tango. Ginny joking with her date, why didn't he dance with her like that.

They had already guessed the clue, but Harry was still nervous. He wasn't afraid of the water or really anything in it. No his was frightened about what would be taken from him and placed down there. Sirius was one option so was Remus and after all that had happened last year he didn't trust either in the hands of the government. Harry became even more nervous when he couldn't find Hermione. Her not being there trying to break him in half was very troubling. He loved his bushy haired friend to bits she and Luna had become his best friends. He loved both girls like sisters. Harry assumed that's why he had been able to drive off the dementors last May. Both his girls were in danger and he had to save them. Now from the looks of it they were in danger again.

Just before Harry was allowed to dive in the water he cast the bubble head charm he had been practicing since they had cracked the clue. He had a wad of gilly weed in his pocket as backup. Harry and the others guessed the mer-village would be in the center of the lake at it's deepest darkest point. So that's where he headed. Harry knew the shortest distance between 2 points was a strait line but he thought it would be safer, thereby faster to swim near the surface till he reached the center then head strait down.

Harry surfaced to get his barrings when he was just about to the center and noticed that Felur was being removed from the water but she didn't have a hostage with her from what he could make out of her struggling to get back in the drink. Once he determined no one else had made it back he dove strait down. Yet again Harry wished Raguel's wings were his own. He had had dreams of the angels using their wings almost like fins to propel themselves through water with great speed and hydrodynamics? 'couldn't be aerodynamics since they were in the water'. Harry mused as he was descending.

As he went deeper he began to see the shadowy shapes of the village. And just outside, back toward the pier was 4 bodies secured by the ankle being guarded by 4 mermen. Harry pulled his wand and swam nearer. The men seemed a bit shocked that he was coming from that direction. He knew that merpeople were not animals but he still looked into their eyes to try and convey his message.

It was dulled and harder to read than with animals but Harry and the mermen can to an accord. Harry could return with his hostage, who he couldn't even look at for fear his anger would get away with him, and the miniature Felur, IF he could best the merman that was guarding the girl.

Harry agreed and he and the merman dueled. Harry used his smaller body to maneuver around the merman who was twice his size and his dulled trident. He bested the merman with a stunner by pure luck. HE had just revived the merman and clasped forearms with all 4 of them when he saw another humanoid shape coming their way.

Harry cut the seaweed tethering Aunt Petunia and Gabriela Delacour and started swimming back toward the surface. He broke the surface just moments before a partially transfigured Krum carrying Hermione. As soon as the girls heads were above the water line they woke.

Gabriela was terrified and clung to Harry. Petunia was fighting mad but helped the children to the shore. They were oddly clam but Viktor was no fool he stayed quiet and behind the others once they reached land. Cedric just surfaced with his long time girlfriend, and Ravenclaw Seeker, Cho Chang when Harry handed off Gabriela and marched right up to Dumbledore.

Without a word he punched the professor in the face knocking the man to his arse. He then verbally lay into him. "HOW DARE YOU KIDNAP MY MUGGLE AUNT!" He shouted not needing an amplifying charm to be easily heard. Those nearest the 2 could see not only his blood red face but a vein in his neck showing from his anger. "YOU COULD HAVE KILLED THE WOMAN THAT AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED IS MY MOTHER!" Harry continued. He then took a deep breath and let it out slowly his face turning back to it's normal coloring once Petunia wrapped her arm around his waist.

"Don't worry son." she said emphasizing the word to show she felt the same about him. "Professor." She began looking at the downed man, blood from his nose staining his beard. "You should know that after this latest stunt pulled by you and your magic government we will be reevaluating Harry's education. As I understand he may take his owls just after his 15th and will no longer need to remain in Hogwarts. I have also had a long chat with Madame Maxine and her school is also an enticing offer." She said in her best mothering voice.

Dumbledore looked at the muggle woman who in that moment more closely resembled the dragon her 'son' had charmed. "Ma'am as a muggle you have no part in this world or in any discussions." Barty Crouch told her. "We can all see how you have raised Mr. Potter." He added motioning to Dumbledore who was once again standing and had vanished the blood.

"Yes. Mr. Crouch we can. I happen to be a strait O student, with the muggle equivalent of strait O's as well." Harry told him. "And you really should throw stones. Not only was your son a convicted Death Eater, he was also so weak willed he died within what a month?" Harry asked with a raised eyebrow.

Crouch's face turned beet red and he made a hasty retreat. Hermione hugged him. "That's how you defeat an opponent." She told him. "viciously, publicly and without getting put in the hospital."

Harry smiled hugging her back.

"Mis'ure Potter?" A French accent spoke gaining his attention.

"Yes Miss. Delacour?" Harry asked looking at the French sisters.

"Thank you, so much for saving Gabby." She said hugging him tears in her eyes over worrying for her sister.

"You are very welcome. How could I leave such a gorgeous creature down there to get pruny?" Harry asked jokingly touching the end of Gabby's nose. The young girl giggled and buried her head in her sisters neck.

The champions, their 'victims' and all Harry's friends sat together at lunch chatting about anything but what just happened.

AN: Meant for this to finish out the tournament but here looked like a good stopping place.

(1) a small nod to Red Frog and their fics Summer of Independence and Year of Changes. Said camp is NOT owned by Harry in this one.
