Ryan was sitting in his bedroom reading a letter from his old friend Fleur Delacour when Hermione had gone looking for him, Harry and Ryan had saved Fleur at the quidditch world cup a year ago from some death eaters as because she had veela blood they wanted to use her for the primary purpose of a veela. Ever since then Fleur and the two wizards had written letters to each other and even seen each other around Christmas to exchange gifts.

"Ryan?" Hermione said entering the room and Ryan quickly folded the letter over so that Hermione couldn't see it, however she wasn't as stupid as other girls and knew that he had hidden something in the fast movement. "What's? that?"

"A letter from a friend." Ryan said "me and Harry met her at the world cup a year ago."

"She?" Hermione asked she was not trying to argue with him she was just curious if she was a friend, ex girlfriend or a lover.

"Yeah Fleur Delacour," Ryan said "she is like the most powerful witch to come out of Beauxbatons in like 50 years, plus she is a veela she is working for Gringotts now,"

"Did you date her?" Hermione asked

"Me and Fleur?" Ryan said "are you crazy? I mean the girl is good looking but way too high maintenance hell we are just friends and she flies off of the handle at me and Harry when we do something stupid."

"So how did you meet her at the world cup?" Hermione asked

1 year earlier

Harry and Ryan had been at the world cup with Sirius when the death eaters had attacked Sirius who was part of the European wizarding government Auror force as a freelance officer told the boys to be careful if they were going to fight and then took off into the fight himself before the death eaters could do much damage. The two boys worked like a well oiled machine with Harry defending himself and Ryan from dark spells whilst Ryan retaliated with dark spells as it wouldn't do well for the boy who lived to be seen firing unforgivables. Then they saw two men grasping at a young girl, both men were wearing the death eater masks and cloaks. Ryan fired two blasting hexes one blew the taller man clear of the girl and into a tree which fell at the force of the spell, the other blasted the other man at the elbow blowing the lower part of his arm off.

"You go and help the girl," Ryan said to Harry "I will look at stumpy arm man,"

Ryan walked over and rolled the man onto his back with foot so that he could banish the mask so that he could see his face.

"Lucius Malfoy," Ryan said "still saying that it was the imperious curse?" the man was not listening to what Ryan was saying as he was trying to stop the blood flow coming from his arm "who is behind this?"

"The dark lord," Malfoy said and then a portkey activated sending him away.

"Shit," Ryan said and then walked over to the man that had hit the tree and banished his mask as well "well lookie here if I didn't know any better I would say that this was Peter Pettigrew, shame the blasting spell didn't kill you Peter just think what Harry and Pads' will do to you," then he turned Pettigrew into a rat and placed him in a stasis charm so that he could not escape and also so that Ryan had Peter to give to Sirius when they got home.

Then Ryan walked over to Harry and the girl who was speaking to Harry in rapid fire French and the poor boy didn't have a clue what she was talking about as he couldn't speak French but coincidently was fluent in German, Ryan was fluent in both as Bex learnt French and he learnt German with Harry.

Ryan then smiled and stepped next to the girl and said "excusez-moi la jeune dame mon ami ne parle pas de français pouvez-vous parler l'anglais plutôt?" (excuse me young lady my friend does not speak French can you speak English instead?)

"Of course," the girl said with a French accent to her words "as I was saying to your friend I am thankful that you saved me from those men, they were trying to rape me."

"They are death eaters," Ryan said "former followers of Voldemort,"

"I am Fleur Delacour," she said extending a hand to both of them "head girl at Beauxbatons,"

"I am Harry Potter," Harry said "6th year Durmstrang student,"

"I am Ryan Reaper," Ryan said "6th year Durmstrang student"

"So why did Malfoy and Pettigrew want to rape you?" Ryan said and then realised how tactless he sounded "I mean why you out of all the women that are running around here?"

"I am part veela," Fleur said "I cannot control my allure it comes out when I am highly emotional and I was scared with all of the death eater activity."

"They are scum," Ryan said kicking the ground "we are hit wizards we took out as many as we could but we decided to help you first,"

"Thank you," Fleur said and then kissed them both on the cheek "my allure doesn't affect you? I think you two are very strong, you two are strong willed, I will stand with you if the dark lord returns you have earned my respect and I owe you both a life debt,"

Present

"So a beautiful veela owes you a life debt," Hermione said "and you haven't abused that fact?"

"And I don't intent to," Ryan said "Fleur is betrothed to my friend Viktor Krum I would not in good conscience do anything to cost her or him happiness but I have warned him if he hurts her I will hurt him, friend and former quidditch team mate or not,"

"Fleur was right about one thing though," Hermione said leaning into Ryan and placing her head on his shoulder,"

"What?" Ryan asked

"You are a good man," she said

"Thanks," he said "so was that kiss a onetime thing or would you like to go out with me?"

"I would like very much to date you," Hermione said and Ryan kissed her again.

A/N: Hi I am trying to think of a name for a group of Harry' friends for when they fight Dumbledore if you have any ideas that would be great. Also any animagus ideas would be welcome
