A King, A Flower, and an Angel 12
Harry, Fleur and Gabrielle had gone to Dumbledore but learned there was little they could do. They did not like it but they were forced to let the issue go. They did inform Dumbledore that they would like to move into the private living area the day after the first task to which he happily agreed.
The days passed but with more stares and more disdain towards Fleur and Gabrielle from the female population. If it was directed to himself he would be irritated but he could handle it. though towards people he cared about he was more than irritated he was actually angry he kept himself in check though knowing that if he lashed out it would only make matters worse.
He was excited about his prospective time with Fleur in Hogsmeade. Harry was thinking about what to call his relation with Fleur or for that matter Gabrielle. He knew Gabrielle had a crush on him but he did not feel right returning her feeling when he was in this bond with Fleur. While Fleur said nothing about this her teasing was becoming more and more flirtatious. He would be lying to himself if he said he did not feel something for Fleur but did not feel right about pursuing that when Gabrielle was trying to get him as they were sister and he did not want to cause a rift between the two even if it seemed they both were close to each other. In the end Harry was unsure what to call his relations with the two, friends?, a couple?, lover?, or were they something else Harry was unsure of what to call it. But figured to ignore for now he was happy with whatever they were.
Then before he knew it the day arrived, The weather was getting colder so he had taken to wearing a sweater lately. He tried to look nice and comb his hair but to little success. Harry waited outside the Beauxbaton's carriage for Fleur. He waited for awhile then the door opened to reveal Fleur.
Fleur was wearing a black jacket highlighted with deep red that snugly clung to her body. while wearing a nice fitting jeans. Her hair was hung loose letting it fall behind her. Harry gulped at how well Fleur looked. Fleur approached closer while waving a hand in front of his face.
"'arry, 'arry." Said Fleur
Harry was shaken from his daze "Sorry, sorry, I was sort of distracted."
"About what?" Asked Fleur with a grin while she crossed her arms under her breasts accenting them knowing full well what he was distracted by.
Harry felt like Fleur just broke him, his mind was racing trying to think of what to say but he simply blurted out "You".
"Me? What about me 'as you so distracted 'arry? Asked Fleur in a sultry voice pressing up against his side.
By this point Harry's face was completely red as he was finding it difficult to form complete words. Fleur was highly amused at this before she broke down and started laughing while holding her sides. While Harry did not find it as funny as Fleur he still enjoyed it when he heard Fleur's laugh.
After Fleur calmed down they started to make their way to Hogsmeade. In Hogsmeade Harry took her around to various shops, candy shops a clothing store, and a joke shot that was there. Getting hungry Harry escorted Fleur over to The Three Broomsticks. Entering he saw Ron, Fred, George and Lee Jordan at a table all discussing something probably Quidditch. Fred and George saw him and Fleur and waved them over but Harry gestured an apology and directed Fleur over to one of the back tables. They chatted idly about some light topics and the occasional teasing from Fleur. While they waited for their meal and some Butterbeers to arrive. After a while a pair of Butterbeers arrived but they still waited for their food.
"So 'arry care to tell me about the rumour of you being able to cast a patronus?" Asked Fleur
Harry at Fleur's question nearly did a spit take with his Butterbeer. After coughing for a bit Harry regained his composure. He had not told Fleur and Gabrielle of his adventures as he did not know them then but now he could scarcely think of a future without them.
"It's actually not a rumour, I can cast a patronus." Said Harry.
Fleur's eyes widened this was just a rumour she heard and did not put a lot of faith in it really the only reason she asked it was to make conversation. she knew Harry was not a person to lie but to be able to cast a patronus at his age was difficult to believe. Even her parents had some difficulty casting a patronus.
"Montre moi," Exclaimed Fleur as she rose from the table this caused a few people from other tables to turn their gaze over to Fleur. Fleur at noticing her outburst grew a blush then calmly sat back down. waiting to speak after the some of the others averted their eyes. Fleur continued to talk when it seemed most of the others stopped looking.
"Sorry, but would you show me it?" Asked Fleur.
"Sure, no problem Fleur but later and with less people." Said Harry.
They received their meals then continued to eat and talk again. As they were finishing Harry looked around to see Hagrid and Moody. They were both drinking a bit they both got up and looked like they were about to leave but both made their way over to them.
"Potter, Delacour." Spoke Moody
Fleur looked a little confused at the sudden appearance of the two. Harry introduced Fleur to the both of them. When he finished Hagrid spoke up with a sly grin on his face.
"My my time flies doesn't it Harry seemed like yesterday I was helping ya in Diagon Alley, now look at ya grown and on a date with this beauty here." Said Hagrid
Fleur and Harry both blushed but made no move to speak otherwise. Then Hagrid leaned close to Harry so only he could hear then spoke "Meet me at midnight bring your cloak and if ye want this lass as well." Hagrid and Moody left soon after.
With that Fleur and Harry finished eating then headed back to the castle. On the way back to the castle Harry asked "So Fleur would you like to come with me somewhere at midnight?"
"zis place being?" Asked Fleur curious on where Harry would like to take her at such a late hour.
"I don't know" Stated Harry "Hagrid asked me to meet him."
"It is odd zat 'e would ask you to meet 'im so late" Said Fleur
"It is but Hagrid would only ask if this was important." Said Harry
"Very well, meet me outside the carriage at thirty minutes till." Said Fleur.
When the reached the castle Harry escorted Fleur to the carriage before making his way back to the dormitories. Harry was slightly worried that with how close Hagrid wanted to meet him and when he was suppose to meet Sirius. It may cut into the time he would spend with Sirius.
Growing closer to when he was suppose to meet Fleur. Harry donned his cloak then headed to the Beauxbaton' carriage waiting outside time crept ever forward till the door opened revealing Fleur in her regular Beauxbaton's uniform a few minutes ahead of their meeting time. As she stepped away from the carriage and Harry still being under his cloak decided it would fun to play a small prank on her. He glided behind then weft a hand through her hair causing her to jump forward with a yelp. She turned around to find no one there. Then she felt a small poke to her left side causing her to jump to her right. She then heard the whisper "Boo" come from her right ear she immediately jumped forward and turned to see Harry standing where she once was with a mischievous smile on his face.
"Zat was not funny 'arry." Exclaimed Fleur.
"It was from where I was standing." Said Harry smiling.
"Perhaps zen I should 'ave Gabrielle go wiz you instead of me." Said Fleur with a huff.
"No, Fleur I'm sorry." Harry said apologetic
Fleur turned around to not face him causing him to become even more apologetic.
Fleur felt how sorry he was then decided to end it with a laugh causing him to look at her in confusion before picking up how she had fooled him.
Harry joined in they settled down before both getting under Harry's cloak then heading over to Hagrid's. When they reached Hagrid's Harry knocked Hagrid then opened the door.
"Harry?" He spoke.
Harry then took off the cloak revealing both himself and Fleur. After a short greeting Hagrid told them to put it back on and follow them. Hagrid walked into the forbidden forest for a little bit then stopped.
"'arry is it me or does your friend seem to be dressed up?" Asked in a hushed voice Fleur
Harry examined Hagrid over to find that he had indeed dressed up. A flower in his vest some of his nicer clothes and he even combed his hair.
"He does, it is quite odd" Whispered Harry.
After a few moment Madame Maxime came into view and towards Hagrid. After a few greetings between the two and Harry and Fleur realizing that this was actually a date for the two and that with Fleur and Harry this was essentially a double date but they followed on after Fleur came over the slight shock that she was watching her headmistress on a date.
While walking both Harry and Fleur became uncomfortably aware of how close they were under the cloak. Both fidgeting and attempting to make room for the other. But only caused the two to get closer.
They made their way through the forest following Hagrid and Maxime. Until they heard a loud Roar that seemed to shake even the trees they were by. Looking farther up ahead they saw light that was flickering in the night. Arriving at their destination they found it an encampment surrounded by four cages all of them rattling with the beast contained within. what they saw both terrified them and amazed then. Dragons that was the first task it involved dragons somehow. Maxime left leaving Hagrid alone with Harry and Fleur.
"Dragons Hagrid, that's the first task dragons." Exclaimed Harry as he revealed himself and Fleur a little so Hagrid could see them.
"Oui, 'ow do they expect us to get past zem." Asked Fleur rhetorically
"It's not so bad dragons are sorely misunderstood beasts." As Hagrid said this one dragon was thrashing about violently and shooting flames everywhere.
"Although that horntail is the one exception nasty piece of work that one is." commented Hagrid.
After looking at the dragons for a bit Harry and Fleur made their way back. Harry noticed Karkaroff running back to the ship in the distance and decided they should get back too. While walking back all was silent aside from the small twigs breaking under their step and the distant scurry of critters.
Harry escorted Fleur back to the carriage before Fleur entered the carriage he spoke "Good night Fleur."
Fleur turned back to Harry then walked over and gave him a hug then spoke "Oui, you as well 'arry"
When Harry saw the Fleur disappear behind the carriage door he also left for the common room. He noted that he still had few minutes till his meeting with Sirius. Entering the common room Harry looked all around for his godfather. Only to be startled by a sound coming from the fireplace. Harry made his way over to see Sirius's face in the fire delighted to talk to him again. Harry started to tell him about what he learned. Sirius told Harry about Karkaroff being a death eater and about how it seemed like he would not have to face the dragon but more get around it. Then Harry heard the teasing tone in his voice.
"So Harry care to tell me about this bird I've heard so much about." Said Sirius with his usual cheeky smile.
"Her name is Fleur and she is kind, good looking, fun and I can't describe her." Said Harry as a smile grew across his face
Sirius chuckled a little at how Harry was describing her the same way James did about lily.
But the they heard someone coming down so they had to cut off their reunion short. Looking back at who it was their stood Ron after a little misdirection Harry thought it good to head to sleep as well.
