Disclaimer: As much as I wish I owned Harry Potter I do not. The series belongs to J.K. Rowling. The plot of this story belongs to me.

Chapter 1

The Beauxbatons students walked into the Great Hall, fashionably late as usual, as every female Ravenclaw inwardly groaned. No boy in the school would look at them when the gorgeous French girls were sitting at the end of their table.

"Michael, dear, eyes above the neck," Padma Patil scolded her fellow forth year Michael Corner.

"Hmph!"

"Oh, Padma, let him be. They are quite beautiful, especially that Fleur Delacour. I suspect her parents fed her pincelmuffs when she was a baby. They rid your thoughts of troubles so you don't get worry lines."

Padma looked up from her meal. Luna Lovegood was always spouting some sort of nonsense, but this was even more odd than usual. Padma didn't mind, but Michael always made fun of the blonde, and it was just so uncalled for.

"You know what, Luna?" Michael started. "You should go ask her. Get to the bottom of the mystery, you know."

Luna smiled, mistaking Michael's snide remark for encouragement. "Good idea! I'll go ask now." She gave Padma a sly smile and practically skipped down to the end of the table where the girls from Beauxbatons sat.

Padma knew Luna admired Fleur for her courage, especially since the first Task. She had more than a sneaking suspicion that admiration of the student had turned into a bit of a girl crush. She tried to read Luna's lips to see what she was saying to Fleur, but it was no use.

Padma waited until that night in the common room to ask Luna what happened, and she found herself excited for her friend. Not many people outside Ravenclaw House would talk to Luna, and Padma hoped she would at least find a friend in the foreign student.

"So how'd it go with Fleur?" she asked.

"Oh, just great!" Luna exclaimed. "She's actually really nice. When I asked about the pincelmuffs she said she's actually one quarter veela. I wonder why I was picking up on that. Doesn't veela magic usually only work on men? Anyways, we started talking about other magical creatures, and she actually asked me to tutor her in Care of Magical Creatures. Apparently, she can't understand a word Hagrid says, so she's falling behind in class."

"Oh, I didn't realize Hagrid spoke some exotic language unknown to mankind that no one else can understand. Or is your perfect little friend just too good to try and actually listen during class?" Michael spoke up for the first time.

"Michael, you've got to admit Hagrid's a bit hard to understand, even for us," Padma replied before turning back to Luna. "So then what happened?"

"Well, since I have such a wealth of knowledge on creatures thanks to my father's articles in The Quibbler, which I can only assume Fleur already knows, I agreed to tutor her. I'm trying to get Professor Flitwick to give us permission to go into the Forbidden Forest, and hopefully we can start this weekend, and get together twice a week after that."

"Get together, huh?" questioned Michael in that nudge, nudge, wink, wink kind of way all the boys in his year had mastered.

"Merlin, Michael, you're such a pervert!" Padma exclaimed, throwing a pillow at his head. She called to her best friend Lisa Turpin across the room, "Hey Lisa, I'm going up to bed, want to come?" before walking to the fourth-year dorm to get ready for bed, Lisa a few steps behind her.

Michael followed soon after Padma, but Luna stayed in the common room until well after midnight thinking. She thought about pincelmuffs, the Forbidden Forest, and most of all, Fleur. Something made really Luna excited to see her again. She was just so pretty, and funny, and nice, and fun to talk to….

NO! That couldn't be why. Luna was simply happy to be helping Fleur in Care of Magical Creatures. Yes, that had to be it.

A/N: Well there it is I hope you liked it! I just thought of this pairing and since there was only one story for it I thought I'd write another.

This is my first story so please tell me how it did! R & R! If you have any ideas for the rest of the story put them in a review and I'll see if I can work them in!
