A Debt
Chapter 7: Christmas, on April 1st?
A/N: Another awesome response by you guys, something which an author desires. Please keep it up. I know a little late but still there at last.
"What's our mission monsieur Bond?" she asked huskily and then giggled, "I feel so excited."
"I don't yet… or maybe I know it." He grinned a grin that even would put headmaster to eat his socks.
Chapter: Christmas, on April 1st?
Fleur donned the cutest curious look, "Tell me, pleeeease."
"We are going to celebrate Christmas." Harry exclaimed.
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhh" Fleur shushed and then asked cutely, "Chreestmas?"
"Yes they are the best days. You get presents, tasty food, lots of chocolates and … and …. and socks." Harry whispered excitedly.
"Socks?" Fleur asked puzzled.
"Socks…" Harry repeated.
"What socks?" Fleur asked again.
"Blue and Red socks"
"What Blue and Red socks?"
"The one that I got, don't you remember?"
"Why would I remember?" Fleur was stumped.
"But you gave me don't you remember." Harry pouted.
"When deed I give you socks?" Fleur challenged.
"On Christmas"
"No I deedn't."
"Yes you did." Harry huffed.
"No I deedn't." Fleur too huffed.
"Yes you did, yes you did, yes you did." Harry chanted
"No I deedn't, no I deedn't, no I deedn't." Fleur chanted simultaneously.
They both stopped at the same time and started laughing. Fleur giggled, "Why are we laughing?"
"Because we are celebrating Christmas and we will present everyone socks." Harry deadpanned.
"You know I never got socks on Christmas." Fleur suddenly sniffed.
"What is favourite colour?"
Fleur shrugged, "Navy blue and meednight black 'ighlighted wiz fiery red."
Harry started at her then slowly nodded, "It's nice."
Fleur grinned, "I know, what's yours?"
"Not thought much, dark blue slashed with white perhaps." Harry shrugged.
They fell silent for a minute lost in their own world.
"Hey why are we still sitting here?" Harry asked.
"I don't know." Fleur said helplessly.
"Let's hurry we have to give gifts to everybody. It's our mission tonight." Harry urged her to get up.

The portrait to Gryffindor dorms creaked open and closed. No footsteps were heard, no shadows played on the stairs' carpet, no sound were whispered, no light flicked, but there was someone who came out of the tower at the dead of night. Unfortunately even The Fat Lady was fast asleep to notice anything, as usual. A cat was prowling at the end of the staircase leading to the portrait. Its eyes flicked and head snapped upwards. A small flash of light later the cat lay there silently. But there was a difference, what was it only would we discovered in the morning.
A snicker came from above followed by a silent smack on the head of the person who snickered.

The passage to the Hufflepuff was just as lonely with no difference to the naked eyes. But the walls had something special on them, maybe morning wasn't bright ever.
Filch lurched about the corner to the passage to kitchens grumbling and hissing about young and lively students, hundreds of cheery and bubbling with magic youngsters and teenagers, full of hormones residing in one castle.
Poor Filch, poor dear old Argus Filch the loving and charismatic caretaker of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry didn't know his days were going to be livelier and full of adventure. A certain prophecy given by Padfoot aka Sirius Black on his last day at school was coming true –
This school will witness the second rise of law keepers in years to come, beware for Marauders legacy will continue.

A knock on the door to the Ravenclaw commons broke a long stretched silence. It was followed by whisper that echoed in the area –
Everyone have it, yet most ignore it. Use it and you do well, loose it you are doomed for it's not just about books.
A single feminine whisper broke the silence, "Umm… common sense" the reward was seen as the door opened silently.
"I was going to say" a male voice came but-
"Shhhhhhhh" the female voice cut it fast.

Dear Salazar Slytherin,
Why exactly is the entrance to the Chamber Of Secrets in the girls lavatory?
Sincerely, Fellow Pervert
The Slytherins weren't all full of mono-track minds, so this little joke won't be principally scorned upon by the house. Besides they would busy unwrapping through their gifts, or maybe Through their gifts.

On the top of the owlery two figures howled with glee and laughter.
"'arry that was really a night full of chaos and fun." Three more empty bottles were lying between them.
"I always keep my promise to friends." Harry intoned proudly.
"Friends, sounds good doesn't eet." Fleur whispered while looking far away.
"Yeah, and I love making friends." Harry giggled.
Fleur stared at him, fire whiskey couldn't fake it what she saw. The bright green eyes full of life yet trace of past pain evident deep below. Smile reaching ears but they did hesitate before. Laughter making her gooey and wobbly at knees, were like just born, like first time. This excitement was new to her, to them but still different for both.
She felt something new, something she had felt before yet different, something she felt for her family but still not the same.
Harry was special she knew it but how special? What did he mean for her? He was a friend, her friend. His bright eyes focused on hers.
"Hey Fleur what are you thinking?"
"You know, you are my first male friend ever. And maybe zird friend overall." She said warmly.
"Do mean boyfriend?" Harry wiggled his eyebrows.
Fleur laughed gaily, her honey sweet voice rolling like concentrated syrup in the crisp night air, "I like you and your sense of 'umor."
"You broke my 'eart Mademoiselle." He feigned a broken heart with a sloppy attempted French accent.
"'ey I don't say like zat." Fleur protested merrily.
"And I love you too." Harry commented casually. Fleur froze a little.
"And I loooooove Gabrielle, bless the little girl." Harry mumbled again (Fleur sighed in relief, he was genuinely unyielding to veela allure unbendingly proven). "Then I love 'mione oh and definitely the twins. I love Profeesssorr Goggle and definitely Dumbly-doore, funny name. Bah I love all proffesssssorrrrrrs mostly Snevellous Snape." He snickered whwile Fleur snorted, "I wholly love my dearest friend Malfoy oh what a friend he is…"
Fleur nodded regularly through his speech and drifted off in his lap.
"and did I tell you about Daphne Greengrass. She must be second hottest girl at Hogwarts after Susan" his eyes mystified, "I wonder if they would go on a date with me. What do you think Fleur?" he looked down and found her already deep in sleep. He shrugged and picked her up heading to her room in the carriage.
