Child of Silence
By Angelwings Sorrow
Chapter 16 "Damned If You, Damn If You Don't"
"Meow!" Harry laughed as his beloved Familiar licked his face awake. The sun was not up yet but it was time for morning exercises and training. Harry had been at school for almost two months and developed a routine of sorts. Aunt Tash cautioned him not to stop his training least he slip back into HYDRA mode when he was unaware. He was up before the sun and he would run around the castle two times before running a make shift obstacle course.
Shadow waited patiently as his master got up and dressed. He was on guard because his master had jealous room mates. Twice the one called Boot tried to mess with his things and even tried stealing Friday while Harry was sleeping. Boot got a nasty shock from Friday before a loud alarm sounded waking up Harry. Shadow had been out hunting and missed the action upon his returned he felt his master had been upset. Since then Shadow was more protective of his wizard.
"Come on Shadow let's go."
Harry yawned making his way out of the tower. He thought about the last two months of school. His grades were the highest in their year and while he did not flaunt his intelligence there was a certain witch whole was jealous of his grades. The Gryffindor Granger did not believe he was as smart as his grades claimed. She was under the misconception that since he had a disability then he must not be as smart as others. Either that or she couldn't believe someone else was smarter than her. This world was filled with spite and jealousy. Then there were the spies/pawns that have haunting his every step, Weasley more than Malfoy. Weasley tended to corner him after shared classes and during their lunch breaks. Malfoy silently watched him and would pop up at random times with random questions or statements.
"You are up early Mr. Lokison."
"Professor Snape surprised to see you up this early." Harry typed out on Friday as Shadow rubbed up against the Potion Master's leg.
"I am often up early gather potion ingredients. I am impressed with your essays and work in the labs. Unfortunately I can not express that in your class the Headmaster is always watching. Which brings me to why I am here, now. I over heard him speaking to Hagrid about retrieving something from the bank and bring it here. The Headmaster complained about a delay in plans and that he must press on."
"Professor, do you think that Dumbledore still believes that he is my guardian?"
"I do. You are not like these dunderheads, you actually have a brain between your ears, but that makes you dangerous in the eyes of Albus. I believe he is deluding himself that he is still in control of you. I must go before I am missed at the head table. I do not know when I will be able to speak freely again so keep on guard Mr. Lokison." Snape nodded his head to the young wizard and left. He had warned the child as he promised Kingsley but now he had to keep his distance because Albus had been keeping a sharp eye on the boy.
"Master Harry, you have twenty minutes to get to breakfast."
"Thanks Friday. Guess it time to start another day."
"You also have tea with Professor Flitwick to discuss you last paper and the Asgard references."
"I forgot about that. Okay Friday send a message to my Uncle Tony and tell him I won't be able to write tonight it's the Halloween Feast. The twins say it's going to be a feast of candy ghost stories."
"Of course sir." Friday noted and Harry returned to the castle just as the sun broke the horizon.

"Your Majesty, we have done a security sweep there is no sign of the intruder or any magical signature."
"Thank you Ingram." Jareth dismissed the goblin. As soon as his assistant was gone he turned to his companion. "Well it looks like the Fool has begun his game."
"Why would Dumbledore rob a vault that is already emptied?"
"For the Drama Loki, My kingdom has never been broken into. That man plays with fire and he is not caring who he is burning." Jareth snarled as he got up to pace the floor. Soon another goblin entered the throne room.
"Your Majesty, I have the file on the vault as requested."
"Thank you Gripknott." The king took the offered file.
"What was in the vault Jareth?"
"It was a package sealed in by the Flamels. The Fool sent his simple minded ground's keeper to withdraw the package. The written permission to remove the stone was forged with just enough magic to mask the forger. Loki you are better than me at unmasking spells than I am could you take a look?"
"Very well place it on the desk." The God of Mischief stood as his friend laid the paper before him. The paper began to glow as Loki waved his hand over it. "It was written by a goblin named Snarrok."
"Damn that's one of the traitors that was tried this past summer. Dumbledore planned this long in advance. Without his magic tying him to the parchment the man walks away aging from justice, again." Jareth threw hands up in frustration.
"Haraldr is also frustrated with the man constantly bring up Lily and the night her and James died. I wish I could just storm the place and hang him with his own beard."
"Yes Haraldr has written to me as well about the nosy man. While I would love to join you in that little fantasy Princess Hela says that we must not interfere." The King pointed out to his friend.
"I know, doesn't mean I have to like it. Now back to why you called me here."
"Oh yes, its Halloween tonight are you doing anything special with Anthony tonight?"
"You invited me here to weasel out details of my relationship? Unbelievable, Jareth what are you Four hundred and twenty five?"
"No I am One thousand and fifty two. Come on you haven't been this happy since you were with James Potter. I know despite all the drama with Haraldr and the Avengers you are happy with Anthony. It's my job as your best friend to ensure he is treating you right and that you stay happy or else Hela will have my head."
"Now you're spying for my sister? Jareth really you are turning into an old house wife. Yes I am very happy with Anthony but it's none my sister's business. By the way Anthony has gotten his tech to work in Magical areas. He wanted me to give you one of the first products to try out." With a wave of his hand he produced a tablet.
"Oh so Haraldr's theories are bearing fruit. How exciting." Jareth took the tablet and turned it on. Harry had been teaching him a bit about Muggle tech and what Tony had been developing. "If this works well I'll have to talk to Anthony about installing it in all my banks."
"I'm sure he'll love the business. Did you know he made Haraldr his heir? I believe by the time Haraldr is twenty Anthony will have converted the whole wizarding world to Stark technology."
"Nothing but the best for My Mini Merlin."
"Anthony, what are you doing here?" Loki got up surprised to see his lover.
"I finished my meetings early Bambi." Tony smiled kissing his God of Mischief hello. "I thought I would take you both out for lunch."
"As much as I would love to Anthony, I am busy dealing with a break in we had last night. While my kingdom's security normally impenetrable the Traitors made us vulnerable. The sneak-scopes are being reviewed and I must deal with the press. This was a disaster pulled off by that devil incarnate." Jareth growled.
"Why would Dumbledork break into your bank?" Tony asked taking the seat next to Loki.
"For the Press and drama. I have no idea what is going through the mad man's head but probably something to do with my dear godson."
"Beep, Beep."
"Oh what is this?" Jareth looked at the new tablet in wonder. Tony got up and wondered over to the king.
"That is the Instant message feature of that tablet. You tap this little logo and…"
Godfather I just read about the break-in is everyone okay? Jarvis told Friday that you were getting a tablet today so I hope you get this message. Classes are going to start soon so I will message you again later, Love Harry.
"Oh how delightful. Please Anthony so me how to respond I do not want my Godson to worry."
"Sure thing Bowie."
XxXxXxXxXx
"Thank you for agreeing to meet with me during the school week but your paper was intriguing. Asgard has such a rich history in Magic."
"I enjoy our tea time Professor. Hello Gigi." A soft gray colored jinx wound her way between Harry's legs.
"I hope I am not interrupting, I too would like join this discussion." Professor McGonagall smiled as she entered the class room and sat next to Filius.
"The more, the merrier Professor." Harry waved his wand and summoned another tea cup.
"Well done Mr. Lokison 5 points for master a fourth year charm." Flitwick cheered.
"Asgard is very advance in their teachings. My other parent taught me when I began my magic lessons." Harry tapped out. He was very careful not say who his other parent was because he wanted keep his parents safe from manipulation. The three talked and had tea with sandwiches while discussing the Magic of Asgard and a bit of Sorcery. The teachers were impressed with intelligence and his work in class. Professor McGonagall suggested they should hold these talks once a month when their schedules allow to explore the different kinds of magic. Harry agreed as he was also getting stories about his Dad and step-mother when they were students.
"Well lunch is almost over I must get ready for my next class. I had a lovely time." McGonagall said as she got up from her seat.
"Yes, yes we must do this again." Flitwick agreed. Harry also nodded as he put Gigi on the floor. She had been asleep on his lap through most of the lunch.
"Alohomora. Filius this door is lock but my unlocking charm is not working."
"That is odd we did not lock the door." The tiny Wizard tried multiple unlocking charms and none of them work. There was something blocking the door and they were trapped. Harry mentally cursed himself for not carrying the Sling Ring with him. Potion's class was about to start and he could not be late or he would draw the attention of the Headmaster and Snape would dock house points for tardiness. "There must be something blocking the door."
"Professors, would you mind if I broke the door down? I know it's against the rules but I need get to class or Professor Snape will have my head and then take house points." Harry tapped out. He knew he shouldn't be exposing his Asgardian talents but it was an emergency.
"Mr. Lokison you are just eleven years old I don't think you'll be able move the door let alone knock it down." The witch replied.
"Minerva, I believe you will find Mr. Lokison a bit stronger than he looks. Please proceed Mr. Lokison I can repair it once it is opened." Flitwick gave his approval. Harry walked quickly to back of the classroom and he lined himself up with the class door.
"Stand back Professors." Harry tapped out before slipping Friday in to his pocket. He started to run, his robes changed to his blue and gold Asgardian armor. He then he jump up and back roundhouse kick to the door sending it flying and all the stuff barricading the door.
"I must say that was quite impressive." McGonagall said wide eyed leaving the classroom.
"Master Harry you better hurry you have ten minutes to get to the dungeon." Friday alerted and the Demi-god took off running and dived off the balcony sending the Head of Gryffindor into panic.
"Harry!" McGonagall ran to the stone railing in time to see the boy flipping and jumping his way down the moving staircases landing on the ground floor safe as sound before dashing off to the Potion's classroom. "Oh, my. Mr. Lokison is full of surprises."
"You don't know the half of it Minerva but it is best we keep this information to ourselves. That boy has many talents that should not be exposed least someone gets the wrong idea and tries to use him." The Head of Ravenclaw cautioned his colleague.
"Perhaps you are right Filius, I will keep my own counsel. I need to go get ready for my class."
"You do that I have a free period now so I shall take care of this mess and see who thought it would be a good idea to lock us in. I will send you an owl on what I find." Flitwick said as he began to fix the door.
"Very well, see at dinner Filius." McGonagall nodded and headed for her classroom.
XxXxXxXxXx
Harry was thankful for all the gymnastics training he had been doing his Aunt Tasha he was able to make it to the ground floor in recorded time barely miss the blond Slytherin going up the stairs. Harry didn't have time to deal with him he was late for potions. As he came up to the Classroom Snape was filing them in. So he slowed his pace allowing his armor fade back into his school robes.
"You're late Mr. Lokison five points from Ravenclaw now sit down." Snape glared at the first year. "Now class the instructions are on the board. Get started. I want to see if you dunderheads have been paying attention these past two months."
The class began to bustle around getting ingredients and chatter quietly, Harry on the other hand observed the class as he slowly set up his cauldron. He saw the disappointed look on Terry Boot's face that he showed up to class. Michael Corner was trying not to be noticed. So it was the two of them who tried to getting him in trouble with Snape. They had to have had help because there were at least ten suits of armor blocking the door. Most likely some Gryffindors because they haven't given up on getting him resorted. His own House mates were okay with the exception of Boot and Corner. Boot was jealous of him and Corner was a weak minded lackey and easily bullied into doing things even if he doesn't agree.
"Mental Note carrying my Sling Ring on me at all times." The hour passed quickly enough and surprise, surprise Harry was the only one with a stable potion. Boot had been so distracted with glaring at him that he but in the newt saliva to soon and melted his cauldron. Now the whole class of Ravens and Badgers had to do a two foot essay on how Newt Saliva can turn into an acidic compound.
"Mr. Lokison please stay after class to discuss your detention for your tardiness." Snape ordered. Harry nodded and from the corner of his eye he saw the smug look on Boot's face as he left the classroom.
Harry waited until the classroom was empty before typing a response out on Friday then handing Snape her unit. 'Professor please wait until I secure the room.' It read and Snape nodded his agreement. He watched the young Ravenclaw's hands glow with spell circles that moved in motions before sealing the whole classroom. Harry then took Friday back and tapped out that all was clear.
"I see you are skilled in a bit of sorcery Mr. Lokison."
"More than a bit my teacher is the Sorcerer Supreme and he has been teaching for over a year. We spoke this morning Professor why hold me after class it draws attention."
"At lunch the Headmaster noticed your absence and was almost gleeful. I believe that he assumes that you were going to the third floor to investigate on why he closed it down."
"Why would I care about off limit areas? I was with Professor Flitwick and McGonagall talking about Asgardian Magic." Harry asked couldn't believe the craziness of the old man.
"I am unsure but do believe it has something to do this plan of his. Why were you almost late to class?"
"Some students wanted me to be late or not show up to class, so they locked me and two professors in the charms classroom. I barely made it here after were got free."
"Interesting, well your detention will be cover for us to talk freely. Tonight is the Halloween Feast so be on guard. Quirrell has been acting more paranoid than usual and he has been having more visits with the headmaster. I will owl you with the time for your detention."
"Understood Professor." Harry put Friday away in his pocket and then unsealed the room. He still had Charms and DADA class before the feast to night hopefully there wouldn't be any more drama for today.
XxXxXxXxXx
Okay hoping was in vain. As Harry and Shadow made their way to the Halloween Feast the jinx sniffed out upset magic coming from the girl's bathroom. The cat wouldn't leave the door forcing Harry to investigate. Harry took out Friday and scanned the bathroom.
"Master Harry there is one female in the last stall."
"Thanks Friday." Harry walked closer to the last stall and could hear a soft weeping. Harry tapped out on Friday "Hey are you okay."
"You're not supposed to be in the girl's bathroom Lokison." A weepy reply came from inside the stall.
"I know but Shadow here hates when people are sad. What happened to make a lion cry?" Harry knew that voice. It was Granger the know-it-all of Gryffindor. She may be annoying at times but she doesn't deserve to cry alone in the bathroom.
"Just a loud mouth red-head lion, who can't pronounce a simple Latin word."
"Ah, Weasley. Not surprised he would shoot off his mouth, but something must have set off that mouth." Harry knew that Granger must have tried to correct him in that know it all tone of hers.
"I may have showed him why he got the charm wrong. But I didn't deserver his mean words." Hermione open the stall door with an angry expression.
"I know you didn't but I bet he ask you to help him out, did he?" Harry rolled his eyes as he tapped out his response.
"Well, no, but he was doing it all wrong. I was trying to be a good house mate and help him out."
"Granger sometimes you can come off a little strong with your help. Yes you are one of the top students in our year but sometimes you act like if someone is not as smart as you, then they are beneath your notice. That's not how to treat family or house mates."
"I've never really had friends. I'm trying prove I'm just as good as the purebloods even if I am a Muggleborn."
"Granger you shouldn't have to prove yourself to anybody. You need to be yourself. If you want friends you got to be a friend. As for Weasley he wants to come out of the shadows of his six older brothers. He's going to make noise trying to find his own place in the sun."
"Lokison, I'm sorry for my behavior since we started school. You are very smart and I was jealous because I have always been the smartest in school. With you being so smart I kind of lost my identity. So I over compensated a bit and I guess I made people angry at me instead."
"Look, I get it, but I'm not trying to do anything. I'm just trying get through the year, that's it. If you want be friends we try a truce for now until trust is built between us." Harry offered watching the emotions play over the Gyffindor's face
"I accept. I would like to be friends." Hermione held out her hand. Harry gave a small smile and shook the offered hand.
"ROAR!" Shadow grew in size and Harry pushed Hermione behind the large Jinx. His robes change to that of his Asgardian Armor. He turned to face the huge troll that stumbled into the Bathroom.
"GRRRAhhh!" the troll yelled and swung his club breaking half of the bathroom stalls. Harry threw up a shield to protect them from flying debris. Shadow jumped at the Troll clawing a biting at the ugly face. Harry had to dodge as the troll threw his Jinx against the wall. He jumped up and pushed off the wall a flipped on to the head of the troll and began to hit its head. He got in five hits before being pulled off and thrown into the remaining stalls.
Shadow tried pushed the troll with his two front paws and Harry took advantage of the cat made ramp and ran up the Jinx's back and put all his strength in to a roundhouse kick to the troll's face knocking it to the Ground. Then he picked up the fallen club and broke over the troll's head knocking the beast out for good.
"Haraldr! Are you alright?!" Hermione ran over to the young Asgardian warrior.
"What is going on here?!" Professor McGonagall yelled as she entered the destroyed bathroom followed by Flitwick, Snape and Malfoy.
"Haraldr! You're Godfather is going to have my gold and then my head if you get hurt!" The Head of Ravenclaw rushed over to the young prince checking him for injuries. Harry began rapid hand signs to the teacher. "Alright, I understand."
"What did he say Filius?"
"Mr. Lokison said he and his Familiar were on their way to dinner when they heard Ms. Granger crying they came in and were talking with her when the Troll came in. The Familiar did it's best to protect them and Mr. Lokison was able to knock out the Troll with its own club.
"How is that possible? He's smaller than me?" Malfoy asked in surprise.
"He use a levitation charm Malfoy, you know the one we all learned today?" Hermione spoke up trying to deflect the question from the Ravenclaw.
"So both of you were not in the hall, when it was announced that the troll was loose in the castle?" Snape glared at the first years. Harry signed to his head of house.
"He says they were not. He asked 'how did you know that they were here'."
"Mr. Malfoy heard the troll and cat fighting and alerted us to where the fight was." Snape replied. "It's late twenty points to Slytherin for reporting the troll and fifty points from Ravenclaw and Gryffindor for foolishly fighting a Mountain troll."
"Well Sixty point to Ravenclaw for defense of a fellow student and sixty points to Gryffindor for Loyalty standing with a fellow student against the troll. Now off to bed with you three." McGonagall ordered, and the three were quick to comply.
XxXxXxXxXx
"That's it, I am going to go to that school and take my son back!"
"Loki, be sensible. Young Haraldr handled the Troll with the Spirit of a true Warrior of Asgard."
"He's only eleven; he's not suppose to be a warrior Thor!" Loki snapped at his brother. Thor had come to Scotland to inform him on what Heimdall had seen the night before.
"Brother please you know that Haraldr must stay at the school or lose his magic. His training that he has been doing with Barton and the Lady Natasha has served him well. He has kept another student safe and the jinx has kept him safe. You must trust him to follow his path." Thor pleaded trying to calm the angry Frost Giant.
"He's right Baby Brother." A voice called the brothers attention.
"Hela! We did not expect you here until the winter holidays." Thor smiled glad to have back up in keeping his brother from storming the castle.
"Yes, well Heimdall sent word to me about what happened and I knew Little Loki here would be upset. I did warn you that his path must be played out." Hela walk further into the room letting crown come undone. "Haraldr will have more trials to face before he reaches his seventh year and we can take the soul of the Headmaster."
"So I must watch my child be put into danger year after year for the next seven years? No you can not ask that of me." Loki shook his head in distress.
"We are not asking brother we are telling you that this is his set path and he must follow it. Just like it was Thor's path that he was banished for having a big ego or your path to fall into the hands of the Mad Man. The hands of Fate are set for Haraldr his choices will define his path but you can not interfere Loki." Hela said sternly making both of the gods bow their heads in shame. "Brothers I know this will be hard for both of you to accept but the past writes the path for the future. You both had to suffer to grow stronger for Haraldr and for yourselves. Now as the goddess of death I am the keeper of future I can not disclose all the possible futures but I can help guide those who need it. Right now Haraldr doesn't need us yet but we will be there when he does. So my dear little brothers you need to be patient. I know that's a skill you lack Thor but do try and Loki I suggest you take up a hobby to keep your mind busy."
"Thank you Sister, I know you are right and that I needed to hear it but it is hard to accept." The God of Mischief sat on the couch with head in his hands.
"Loki I will be by your side brother, whenever you need me." Thor sat next to the upset father.
"We are a family and we share your grief. We worry over your child as if he was our own Brother but we must let him live the life fate has set before him. I will help when the fates allow and Thor will be here when you need him. You are not alone and your Tin Man loves you and is never going to leave your side. He makes Haraldr an excellent second parent. He would be even better if he didn't talk so much but that is your burden to bear."
"Speaking of Anthony, where is he?" Loki looked up and around for his lover.
"Oh he was eavesdropping so I put him to sleep. He is lying in the hallway drooling on the carpet." said Hela with a shrugged.
"Hela!" Loki jumped up and ran to his fallen lover.
"Sister must you treat him so cruelly? Stark is an honorable man who loves our brother." Thor asked his eldest sibling.
"I know that Thor but doesn't mean I have to like the man. No one will ever be good enough for our baby brother but Little Loki has his heart set on the Tin Man. So while I accept Baby Brother's choice I will take every opportunity to make sure Stark knows I am watching him and I will torture him if he dares to make our brother sad." The Goddess of death suddenly got evil gleam in her eye which had the Thunder God rolling his eyes.
XxXxXxXxXx
"Time to wake up Master Harry."
"Thanks Friday." Harry tapped out as he got up. He was glad for his fast Asgardian/Frost Giant healing he was just a bit sore after fighting the troll.
"Whoot!" Nátt flew in with a letter from his father. Harry winced at the sight of the letter. His father wasn't known for sending howlers but reading how worried he is set heavy on the Demi-god's heart.
"Master Harry you also have a message from King Jareth."
"Play message Friday."
"Dear Haraldr, I was ever so glad to receive you Muggle electric letter. I am fine and none of my subjects were hurt in the break-in. I believe it was done for drama, for what purpose I know not. Please know that all is well with in the bank and I shall see you at Christmas if not sooner. Much love to you my godson; please stay safe."
"Remind me to write to Godfather later."
"So noted Master Harry." Harry put Friday away and took out his Sling Ring and slipped away from the Ravenclaw tower and to Kamar-Taj.
"I had a feeling would you pop up here eventually." A voice greeted the young wizard.
"Hello Master Strange." Golden letters appeared above his head.
"Hello Harry, what has you so trouble you traveled half-way around the world to hide from them?" asked Strange as he sat next to the boy who was staring off into the valley. Harry sighed again and opened the locket to the mind Stone.
"Master, things at school are fine I guess but yesterday was difficult for me. My Asgardian side was exposed to more than one person. I am trying to keep a low profile to protect my parents. Snape came to me yesterday morning to warn me that a plan was in motion from the headmaster. Then the news reported that my godfather's bank in London but I got word that everyone is ok. Later during dinner I had to fight a troll that almost flatten me and another student. Shadow and I knocked out the troll, but I know at least two Students and three Professors have seen my armor. I fear that the Headmaster will hear about it and somehow go after my family."
"You know Harry when I first came to Kamar-Taj I was just looking for a cure to save my hands. I didn't want to be more than what I was and that was a great surgeon. This world was beyond my way of thinking and I tried to keep it simple and focus on healing my hands but that wasn't possible. With every spell I learned and every Astral walk I took I found my self becoming more apart of this world of magic. I couldn't keep myself separate from that and the Ancient One saw that in me. I had potential but only if I stop dividing my self and my beliefs. You need to stop hiding who you are if you want to stand a chance against Dumbledore. You are Half wizard and Half Asgardian they are both part of who you are, you should spilt yourself or hide them. You don't have to flat out tell them you are the son of the God of Mischief but you don't have to hide it. Your Father and Step-Father a strong and powerful you don't need to worry about them. They can take anything the headmaster will try. Just be yourself Harry you'll be stronger for it."
"Thank you Master, I will try."
"Well I'll leave you to your letter. Come join me for breakfast when you're done."
"Of Course Master see you in a little bit." Harry watched his Magic teacher leave but the cloak stayed and wrapped around his small frame.
Dear Haraldr,
I hope this letter finds you well. I know you were expecting your father to write but he is busy with trying to undo my Sleep spell I had placed on the Tin Man. I want you to know that I and your Uncle Thor are very proud of you and you victory over the troll. Your father is worried and wishes to storm the castle but your Uncle and I have calmed him for now so you don't need to worry about him coming to Hogwarts. You are doing well on you path stay strong and keep one with your magic. Never lose faith in your heart and you will never be lead astray. We shall meet when winter comes to Midgard once again. Until then be strong and don't worry about your father the Tin Man will care for him, at least he will once he wakes up. See you soon.
Love,
Aunt Hela
The letter made him smile he was glad that his Aunt and Uncle came to Midgard to be with his Father. He wished his Aunt would stop picking on Uncle Tony but it was her way of accepting him as part of their family. Harry sighed as he took in all words his family and teacher had told him. They wanted him stay true to himself and not to worry about the Headmaster and his head games. So that is what he was going to do. Just be Haraldr Lokison Prince of Asgard and Heir to Anthony Stark and to hell with what the wizarding world thought. Right now he was going to join his magic teacher for breakfast leaving the worries for another time.
A/N: Sorry for the long wait. After my Daughter and son's birthday party I got hit with a lung infection and I got hit hard. It was just a regular illness not the Caronavirus, but it did hit me hard I was out for a week and then another week recovering. During my recovery I re-edited my chapters and also posted them on AO3. The plot bunnies are all getting cabin fever and needing fresh food. So thanks for reading and Keep Reviewing.
