December 1999

Shell Cottage

It was almost Christmas and Fleur was six months pregnant and Fleur's family was visiting her for Christmas, so it was a perfect time for Ron to put his plan in motion, and he could show them the results of his hard work. Much like Harry in his Third Year in mastering the Patronus Charm,he to was highly motivated in mastering this new spell however unlike Harry he had to create something from scratch.

The Wind was blowing fiercely and the waves were crashing violently on the shore. Ron had a determined look on his face as he faced his brother and sister in law. "Fleur was trying to reason with her brother in law "Eet eez not necessary Ronald, I am used to the reactions I get from Men."

Ron was determined however and would not be persuaded otherwise "It's not just that Fleur, it's for my own sanity, your my blooming sister in law for crying out loud, and everyone else has gotten used to it except for me, I turn into a blithering idiot every time I see you and now that your pregnant its affecting me even more and pissing of Mione on top of that."

Hermione who was off to the side still looked worried, "I know your serious Ron, but consider the risks, if this fails…"

Bill looked at him in concern and said "Careful Ron it's an untested spell, and we don't know what will happen and..." Harry interrupted Bill and said "oh don't worry about it guys, after all that is what Hermione is there for, and look at it this way. This shows you the extent that Ron cares for you that he actually invented a new spell, just to make sure he doesn't act like a fool in front of Fleur and end up getting you mad at him. I mean he even Swallowed his pride and asked Viktor Krum for advice since Veela are native to Bulgaria. Besides he had Flitwick look over his notes before he attempted a test run."

For once Hermione was speechless and at a loss for words as she relaised the Lengths that Ron had gone for her. What shocked her the most however was when Harry told her that he had even contacted Viktor Krum for advice.

Flashback:

Ravenclaw Head of house Professor Filius Flitwick was enjoying his free period in the Hogwarts staff room, while at the same time waiting for his guest to arrive. In all honesty he was surprised to have received a letter from his former pupil asking him to meet urgently. Although it was not unheard of him to receive occasional mail from his former students asking for advice or wanting to tell him of their achievements, As a teacher he was always happy to offer advice or offer congratulations when required. He was brought out of his thoughts by a knock at the staff room door.

After opening the door with a swish of his wand he was greeted by the tall and lanky sight of a Red haired man with freckles covering his face and a sheepish expression on his face. Flitwick ushered the man inside the staff room and chuckled slightly as Ron Weasley looked around the room.

"Ah Mr. Weasley how are you doing this fine day, please have a seat, your letter to me indicated something urgent, tell me how can I help you my boy."

Ron Weasley still looked a bit uncomfortable to be here but figured he had no other choice "Hey professor, I'm fine thanks for asking, and yeah it is kind of urgent, I have been sort of working on a secret project of mine and although I'm almost done, I was hoping you could help me. You see the thing is that Bill's wife Fleur is three months pregnant with her first child and…"

Flitwick burst into excitement and said "oh it seems congratulations are in order, I can only imagine that Bill is over the moon."

Ron nodded his head and with a smile said "yeah the whole family is excite, especially mum, but you see that is sort of the problem. I'm sure you remember that she is part Veela right?" When Flitwick nodded although looking a bit confused, Ron continued. "Well you see I have always kind of had a problem with her cause I'm affected by Her Veela magic more strongly than others."

Flitwick was getting impatient and said "Mr. Weasley it would be best if you stopped rambling and get to the point, I'm afraid I cannot understand where I come into this situation. I am a professor in Charms, not an expert on Weela Magic."

Ron suddenly looked panicked and said "no it's not like that, you see… oh fuck it." Suddenly his shoulders slumped and his demeanor changed when he spoke next, it was in the voice of a Professional Auror instead of a young student. taking out a sheaf of papers from his robes he gave them to Flitwick and said "Professor, over the past several months, I have been working on inventing a charm that will if not nullify the effects my sister in law's Veela magic has on me then at least severely reduce the effects, this is what I have figured out the theory of the spell, I am still not sure how to physically cast the spell."

The short professor took the notes from Ron and read them over carefully and after a few minutes put them down and looked at Ron and said "Ingenious way of Thinking Mr. Weasley, I must say it's a very out of the box Idea that you have come up with. However it is still very ingenious, and while the two spells you have taken as a base for your own are quite novel, I see no reason why it should not work.

Ron still looked a bit nervous and asked "so it should work theoretically yeah, I mean it won't blow up in my face will it?"

Flitwick chuckled and said "I highly doubt it, Mr. Weasley your reasoning is sound and I highly expect it to work; now the only thing that is required is creating the incantation." Ron shook his head and said "that's the problem I am having problems with; most of the books I read say that you have to visualize the spell and then do it, but I just can't seem to figure it out though any advice?"

Flitwick looked thoughtful for a moment and said "well I may have an idea but you may not like it, I believe you are able to cast a Patronus Charm correct?" Ron nodded his head and said "yeah, mine's a Rottweiler."

Flitwick nodded and said "exactly so imagine something similar; however instead of blocking Dementors you will be blocking her Veela Magic, almost like a shield that counteracts her magic."

Ron was nodding slowly as if finally understanding and then suddenly his eyes lit up in understanding and said "hey I have an Idea Professor how about this for an idea." He then started explaining his idea and after a few minutes Flitwick started nodding."

End Flashback

Ron was determined and nothing anybody said could change his mind. "He straightened his shoulders and looking at his sister in law and said let's try a control test, I want you three to intentionally broadcast your Veela magic towards me."

Mr. Delacour who was also present and standing next to Bill spoke and said "let ze young man do as he wishes mes Amis, after all eet eez a matter of honor for him." I for one can understand his predicament.

Fleur shot Hermione an apologetic look before turning to her mother and sister and with a nod of her head the three witches actively turned to Ron and smiling brightly as they consciously aimed their Veela magic towards him and as expected Ron's eyes became glazed as he looked at Fleur in a hypnotic stance, suddenly his body language changed and his eyes changed from Hypnotic to predatory as he suddenly broke out in a run as he charged toward the three witches. Bill was alarmed and moved to block Ron, however he was beaten by Mr. Delacour who quickly hit Ron with a stunning spell.

A Few Minutes Later

Ron was back up again and although his ears were red from embarrassment he was still determined to get over his weakness to Veela Magic. "Well that's the control, so it obviously works. Now let's see if the next step works." Ron muttered to himself, he then gave Hermione a look that spoke volumes, and then as if going to war he turned away from her andhis eyes fell on Gabrielle first and seeing the flicker of fear in her eyes hated himself for being the cause of that fear, after all hadn't he and his friends fought their hardest to eliminate that fear. Thankfully Fleur calmed her sister and said something inaudible to her in French.

Mr. Delacour seeing Ron's stricken look clapped him on the back and said "worry not young man, Eet is good for ma fille, Gabrielle to understand the negative affects her Veela magic can have on those around her. She is young but growing fast into a beautiful young woman and while she has been slow understanding this fact I would rather have her understand these effects in a situation where we can control the outcome."

Bill chuckled and said "and don't forget as a favor to Fleur our dear sister seems to have taken the kid under her wing and has even taught her the Bat Bogey hex in case some of her school mates get a bit too comfy with her."

Ron's posture relaxed slightly and laughed as well "Yeah, I hear she has taken to that hex like a duck to water and she is now after hearing the story of how Hermione attacked me with canaries in sixth year, she even persuaded Hermione to teach her that Jinx as well."

It was now Bill's turn to laugh and he said "well there you go now all that is left is for her to learn a spell from Luna and she will be ready to go, although knowing Luna she would probably end up being something abstract that will she won't understand till much later."

With his mood considerably lightened Ron once again threw an apologetic look at Gabrielle before pointing his wand at himself and shouted out the name of the spell he had spent most of the year creating. Shouting loudly he said "Aegis Maxima!" A Golden orange light shone out of his wand and hit his face in full force causing it to glow in a Blue ethereal manner. Ron smiled at his sister in law and said "alright ladies let's see whether this works or not and lets pray it doesn't blow up in my face yeah?"

A.N: Happy birthday Ron. The word Aegis is a Greek word meaning Shield, and has its originis in Greek mythology. Seeing as most spells are in latin, i figured it was fitting. Hope you liked it.
