Ciri "Is this Toussaint?" she asks.

Reima nods, "Land of wine and suns.h.i.+ne.. Didn't know you've been there before?" he says surprised.

Ciri shakes her head, "I haven't... I've just heard many stories of it from Geralt and Vesemir."

Fleur "Toussaint? It resembles France in ze summer." she says after taking a look out the window.

Reima throws himself on sofa, "I met Dandelion here, during the summer solstice and while he was wooing the d.u.c.h.ess."

Ciri laughs, "Were you there when the Duke came home?"

Reima shakes his head, "No, I made sure to get out of there before I was implicated."

Ciri "Good choice, Duke Raymund ordered that Dandelions heart be cut out and served to the d.u.c.h.ess in-front of the court when they catch him. You would've probably been tortured and killed for information." she says, reciting what she knew from Geralt's recounts.

Harry interupts them, "Erm, sorry but. I thought we were going to talk about something important?"

Fleur gives him a irritated look as she was enjoying learning about the duo's past but Reima replies regardless. "I guess we are... I can see you're still thinking about Krum?" he asks as if he wasn't the one that killed him.

Harry opens his mouth to say something but nothing comes out... He tries again and is audible this time. "I-I still can't get past the fact you killed him... And you act like it's nothing." he says, slumping into the sofa.

Fleur "Zo you did kill 'im?"

Reima nods, "He was trying to kill me, Harry and indirectly Hermione along with your sister."

Fleur scowls and nods, "Good riddance." she says simply.

Harry can't believe her reaction... "You don't know if he was going to kill us or not, maybe he just wanted to injure us to increase his chances of winning?" he quickly says.

Reima "Even if that was the case, did you forget the squid? It seemed to be attracted by Krums blood, what do you think would have happened if he injures one of us enough that we couldn't escape?"

...

He doesn't answer, knowing full well what the result would have been.

Reima "Harry you've gotta get this "Good verses Evil" mindset fixed, we are evil to some people while good to others, It's subjective. Is a snake evil for biting someone for stepping on it? Is a child evil for pointing a gun at someone and pulling the trigger? Is a husband evil for killing his cheating wife and her lover?" His barrage of questions only seems to make Harry's mood worse.

Harry "If neither matters then why bother trying to be good?" he asks with a downtrodden expression.

Reima "Because you decide how you act, your actions and inaction's have consequences. If you decide not to fix the roof of your house and a burglar falls through it and breaks his neck, did you murder them?"

...

Harry "Yes. It was my action that led to their death." he says after thinking a moment.

Reima frowns at his stubbornness, "If you're made a hostage and the only way to save everyone is to kill your kidnapper, would you do it?" he asks.

...

Ciri and Fleur watch as Reima continues to ask Harry various questions, both think it's a pointless endeavour however he keep at it regardless.

After half an hour of this Reima finally stops, "Fine, you can make yourself responsible for all the worlds evils instead of letting it be. The fact that you killed your first Defence against the Dark Arts teacher doesn't seem to make a difference to you should indicate what kind of world this is." he says, turning his attention to the girls.

Harry wasn't sure what to make of Reima's reaction to his view on the world... His last words did have an effect on him though, he hadn't really thought about it but.. Had he really killed Quirrel? Dumbledore had said that Voldemort killed him but his actions still led to his death..." he runs his hands through his hair at the question, this year had changed a lot, his view on himself and other people along with his situation and future actions... He'd need to think on this further. He gets up and leave the room while the others watch, they don't comment on the fact that he's seemingly forgotten about Krum's death in favour of feeling bad for his past actions instead...

Ciri "He's only fourteen, shouldn't you give him a break?" she says with arms crossed.

Reima shrugs, "I'm fourteen too so what's your point?" he says, causing Fleur to give him a weird look.

Fleur "You're fourteen?"

...

Reima "Yeah?" he asks, only now realising she hadn't known about that yet.

Fleur she looks troubled for only a moment before asking a question that makes both Reima and Ciri shudder. "Shall we stay ze night?" she asks.

Ciri "Er, you guys can have fun... I've got something else to attend to." She looks back and adds, "Uh, Reima... Try not to, er... "Load her up" if you know what I mean?" she says, taking Snuffles in her arms and leaving.

Reima knew this would happen eventually as he hadn't been intimate with Fleur since the Yule Ball... He'd been apprehensive due to his "condition" however he'd have to work around it by "storing" his excretions into his Folded s.p.a.ce...

Fleur drops her clothes to the floor and approaches him while licking her lips in antic.i.p.ation. Reima sighs and does the same, hoping she wouldn't ask him to do something harmful to her...
