For Althea, deciphering the riddle was quite simple and thanks to Neville's passion for herbology, finding a method to breathe underwater was like drinking a glass of water.

Understanding why Ronald Weasley was tied to a seaweed in the underwater village of mermaids was equivalent to understanding the secrets of the universe.

Seriously, how many times did she have to tell those dickheads she wanted nothing to do with Ronald.

She was seriously tempted to take one of the other hostages, Cho Chang the ravenclaw who had gone with Cedric, Daphne probably for Krum and a little girl with pale blonde hair similar to Fleur (sisters?).

Except the idea of sabotaging wasn't congenial to her.

The task only started 10 minutes ago, the reconnaissance with dress rehearsal was repaying the efforts made, learning to use the flight technique as means of propulsion had been child's play.

She still had plenty of time left to get back to shore with one or more loads.

Her train of thought was interrupted by her intuition, which screamed that the little girl was in danger.

And at that moment the little girl opened her eyes in fear the spell that allowed her to breathe seemed to falter.

Veela! Rang in her head, creatures of fire, water didn't get along with them.

Sending the task to hell and deciding that the little girl had to be saved she cut both seaweed, grabbed the idiot and the little girl, and used her flames to sprint to shore.

Fleur was scared to death, shortly after the task began she had been attacked by intruders.

And due to the fiery nature of the veela she had been forced to return to shore.

And she had just discovered that her hostage was Gabrielle, her little sister.

She wasn't paying attention to either the crowd or her (superficial) wounds, the only thing that mattered to her was Gabrielle.

She was staring at Dumbledore, who was walking along the shore with hatred, it was he who had cast the spell on the hostages, when Dumbledore was knocked to the ground by the annoying red who was shunned by every girl at Hogwarts and was apparently one of the hostages.

Looking back at the black lake where the boy had come from she saw the other champion who had thrown the idiot.

She was climbing out of the water protectively holding...

"Gabrielle!" She darted towards her little sister and hugged her, while Althea Potter left after making sure the little girl was okay, then turned a furious look on Dumbledore and the other judges, while her brother and his men looked on, for some reason they looked a little scared and amused.

"Do you know who the fucking asshole is who decided that putting a veela at the bottom of a fucking lake was a good fucking idea?" the brunette shouted, with each word her tone rose and her eyes shone not orange like during the first task but green reminding them more and more with each passing moment of the killing curse.

While Althea gave the judges a scolding that made them seem like children being chastised by their mother, Fleur instead decided to approach the girl later to thank her.

Considering what she had seen and heard at Hogwarts she decided to contact the sisterhood and request that they invite Althea as an honorary member, the support they could offer her certainly counterbalanced the life debt that Gabrielle and the entire Delacour family had just contracted with the girl.

Dumbledore had an unexpected visit from an emissary of the french ministry and a member of the international conference of wizards for the idiocy committed, while a member of the sisterhood introduced themself to Althea and informed her that from now on she would have their support as payment of Gabrielle Delacour's life debt to Althea.

Well, in reality the two things didn't happen at the same time Althea and Viper were recording the scolding Dumbledore was subjected to.

A certain potions professor was trying not to burst out laughing at the scene.

On May 24th they discovered that the third task would be an obstacle course in a maze.

And the next day Krum was found crashed on the edge of the forest, he had no idea who had done it but the last thing he saw was Mr.crouch wandering and confused which was strange considering he had been homesick since christmas.

Althea and the Pendragon's training continued, as did Squalo's who was adapting her style to her new body.

And the method for locating the horcruxes was giving excellent results, thanks to the goblins they had found the Peverell ring, which was now no longer cursed and was carried by Althea as Lady Peverell, even if she did not dare use the power of the resurrection stone.

Unfortunately the search for the horcrux hidden at Hogwarts did not proceed so quickly.

And finally the Varia were on alert for Peter Pettigrew's escape from ministry custody.

Apparently Amelia Bones had gotten several incompetent people fired for this.

On the day of the third task Althea woke up as if from a nightmare.

Only it wasn't a nightmare, but memories of a future that would never be, a future where she hadn't discovered the betrayal until after Sirius' death in 5th year and where she hadn't met Xanxus until the following year.

A future where she had never awakened the black flame and in fact it had actually broken; she had survived but she was no longer a sky but a sun with secondary rain flames, the only good thing that came from this was that the fragment of his soul had been destroyed.

She still managed to reunite with ni-san but in this world she was weak and everything she had worked hard for with Tsuna had never happened, as well as the Pendragons who had never returned to their strength.

As she cried for that future her fingers encountered something in the sheets, the white box weapon that Kyo-kun and his counterpart had built when the others had told him the differences between worlds.

She turned it over in her hands, giving thanks to the only good thing in that world, despite everything Kyo-kun had fallen in love with her, and her counterpart deserved it with everything that she had been through.

She finally decided to admit what she realized she had felt for Hibari since before the yule ball.

But now she had to go and find out if the others were okay and after getting dressed she enchanted the box to always return to her pocket, something told her that she would need it.

Xanxus and the others awoke with memories of the future that was not.

Luckily Xanxus had decided to control his mother's effects that day and not put it off, future Althea was destroyed and had only managed to get back up thanks to Hibari he had resigned the fact they couldn't be separated.

Once he went down to the room turning besters box over in his hands the ligre storms cielo, he found himself with a crying Althea in his arms, he decided to put all thoughts aside and think about reassuring his little sister.

Thank goodness he had examined those objects.

But now there was something else to worry about a plan had to be made to avoid a certain event.
