Harry Potter and the Lost Chambers
Chapter 1
-Harry-
Hurrying Harry swore under his breath. He had wanted to be in the Great Hall when the visiting schools arrived but had been waylaid by the Creevey brothers. Getting to the Great Hall doors he sighed. He could hear the welcome feast underway and while the last thing Harry wanted was to draw attention to himself he knew that's what would happen. With a push he entered the noisy hall.
-Fleur-
'Ze call zis ze "Great Hal"? Beh! Beauxbatons has linen closets nicer than zis!'. Hearing a noise she looked up from the table of "Ravenclaws" and saw the doors to the Hall opening. A skinny boy who looked about fourteen entered followed by two younger boys who obviously revered him. She watched as he went to the table of "Gryfindoors" and sat down by a red-haired boy and a girl with bushy brown hair. She jumped, startled when she felt someone tap her on the arm. The person who had tapped her was a pretty Asian girl who for some reason gave her a knowing smile.
"Hello I'm Cho." The girl said with a smile and offered her hand.
Not being used to such friendliness from other girls she shook the proffered hand "Fleur." She replied simply.
"I saw you eyeing Harry." she said with a gesture at the raven-haired boy.
"Vat makes you think I was looking at zis 'arry?" Fleur asked her curiously.
Smiling that knowing smile Cho replied "One he is cute. Two I saw you watching him. And three his last name is Potter.".
Fleur gasped, "Zat boy is 'arry Potter?". When Cho nodded Fleur stood up and whispered "W vish to try something." before walking over. When she was behind Harry and his friends she said "Excuse me, are you wanting ze bouillabaisse?", as she said this she got a different reaction from each of them. From the witch she got a passive acknowledgement; the red head turned purple and started making gurgling noises, which didn't surprise her as she was using her allure on them; but the raven-haired boy, 'arry, looked up, gave her a faint smile, and pushed the bowl towards her telling her she could have it. On her way back she was lost in thought of the strange boy who could resist her allure.
When she got back to her seat Cho turned and asked "What was that about?".
Shrugging Fleur said "I vanted to se if he really vas 'arry Potter.", nodding in understanding Cho looked up and groaned. Following Cho's gaze she saw a professor with greasy black hair walking over to the Gryffindor table.
"POTTER!" he growled out reaching the trio Fleur had just left, "Once again your father's arrogance reveals itself in you. Not only do you show up late to make an entrance but you try to talk to a student from one of the visiting schools. No doubt you tried to use your fame to get her to help you enter the tournament. Fifty points form Gryffindoor." after waiting a moment, as if hoping the boy would react so he could deliver even more punishment, then walked off leaving three very angry Gryffindoors behind.
"Why did he do that?" a shocked Fleur asked Cho.
"Oh he hates the Gryffindoors, especially Harry.".
Fleur wasn't sure what surprised her more' the matter-of-fact way Cho spoke about the professors cruelty or how anyone could hate the kind boy she saw.
-Harry-
Once the girl had left Harry laughed at Ron's spluttering which seemed to jog him to his senses.
"She's a veela!" he said in a hoarse whisper.
"Of course she isn't!" Hermione replied tartly, "I don't see anyone else gaping at her like an idiot!".
"No Hermione Ron is right for once she is a veela, or at least part-veela. I felt her using her allure on me and Ron.".
Hermione sighed dejected at being wrong while Ron grinned and said "Yes! Wait what do you mean for once?!" causing everyone nearby to laugh.
-next day at the choosing of the champions-
-Fleur-
When her name was called Fleur stood, ignoring the glares from her classmates, and glanced towards the Gryffindoor table where she saw Harry cheering for her. At seeing this her stomach gave a little flip 'that was weird' Fleur thought, 'must be nerves'. After shaking hands with the Hogwarts Headmaster she went into a side room and saw the Durmstrang Champion, Victor Krum, leaning against the mantel and watching the fire. He acknowledged her with a nod then went back to staring at the flames. After a couple minutes the Hogwarts champion, a tall boy in yellow and black, entered and leaned against a pillar with his hands in his pockets. After a few moments a fourth Person entered the room and, to her surprise, Fleur saw it was 'arry.
Flipping back her hair she turned and asked "What is it? DO zey want us back in ze Hall?", he stayed silent and looked lost in thought.
Then the fat man in the quiditch uniform, Bagman, entered grabbed, Harry by the arm, and led him forward. When he got near them he announced "Gentlemen… lady." Now h was at the fire side, "May I introduce, incredible through it may seem, the fourth Triwizard Champion.".
Thinking this was a prank from the host school she smiled and said "Oh vairy funny joke, Meester Bagman."
Bewildered he responded "Joke? No, no, not at all! Harry's name just came out of the Goblet of Fire!".
Fleur felt betrayed even though she didn't know why, they hadn't spoken more than a dozen words for Merlin's sake! With a voice full of contempt Fleur said "But evidently zair 'as been a mistake. E cannot compete. 'E is too young.".
Bagman continued talking about the binding magical contract and such. when Madame Maxime entered Fleur strode over to her immediately, "Madame Maxime! Zey are saying zat zis little boy is to compete also!".
"Little boy?!" an angry voice growled out. Turning Fleur saw 'arry standing tall his eyes, only a moment before filled with shock and disbelief, were now filled with anger. "You think I'm just a 'little boy'?! Could a little boy survive an encounter with a Cerberus, devil snare, or a troll?! Could a 'little boy' slay a basilisk, escape a nest of acromantulas, or fight off a hundred dementors at once?!" 'Arry was shaking with anger and a golden aura was starting to form around him, "Could a 'little boy' survive and defeat Voldemort four times?! I've seen, done, and defeated things that are worse than your darkest nightmares. So don't treat me like some petulant child who's beneath you!" with that he turned and stormed off, still glowing with the aura.
As Fleur watched im turn she brought her hand to her mouth and thought 'vat have I done?'.
Alright everybody please review.
