The party had been a total success… Or at least that would be if it wasn't because Victoire and Dominique were fighting again.
Victoire was dressed in white high heels, a pair of tight blue jeans that made her hips and butt stand out and a white sleeveless shirt, Dominique on the other hand was dressed in a tight blue dress that was a little too short as it ended way before reaching her knees and red stilettos.
- You're doing it wrong Domi… You need to pour slowly the drink inside your mouth to fully appreciate it – Complained Victoire as she looked at her younger sister with an angry expression.
Dominique couldn't believe what was happening right now, her older sister was now again criticizing her, she couldn't even drink the way she wanted some booze without her sister bothering her.
- I'll drink in whatever way I want it! – Complained Dominque before she gulped a whole glass of scotch inside her throat, her older sister just face palmed – I don't know why you are worrying about that… It's not like alcohol affect us in the same way that it does to muggles… We don't get stupid by drinking! – Victoire complained.
- Yeah… That's right, you don't need alcohol to be stupid, you have always been like that since you were born! – Said with a smirk Victoire.
Watching them from afar, Hermione and Fleur were side by side near the drinking table, the bushy haired woman was a little worried the veela was just smirking.
- I think we should stop them before they do something stupid – Said Hermione as she looked at the French woman.
- Leave them… It's just the way things are, veela need to compete you know? It has been like that since we were a tribe full of women, we had to compete against each other to get the best man after we sacked villages – She smirked and Hermione couldn't help but feel uncomfortable hearing that.
Their thoughts were interrupted when they saw Dominique attacking her older sister.
That was the breaking point for the younger veela, she always felt insecure about intelligence and she hated when someone called her stupid or something like that, the women were grabbing each other's hair until they were stopped by their mother and their aunt.
Hermione grabbed Victoire and Fleur grabbed Dominique, the rest of the people on the party watched the spectacle with awe, they didn't know that the younger Bella could manage to fight her older sister, but seeing her height that wouldn't be so rare, her grandmother just sighed before she resumed the celebrations and the music started again.
On the kitchen of the burrow, both sisters were placed in front of each other while their older familiars were by their side, the sisters looked at each other with hateful glares.
- Okay you two… This needs to stop right now! – Fleur got angry – You have always been fighting with each other, but from two years ago you started to act worse against each other and I want this to stop! – The sisters looked at their mother who was on the verge of tears.
- Victoire… Dominique, what's the problem, why are you acting like this against your own family? – Asked Hermione worried about the situation.
No one of the girls wanted to say it, they knew the reason of the recent increase of their rivalry but they were too ashamed to say it loudly.
- I think I know – Said Fleur and that surprised them – Since you were kids you always fought for your father's attention and for mine too… You competed for the toys, you competed to see who gets the best grades, that's until you got tired Domi – The younger woman felt a little ashamed – And now the two of you are fighting for a man… No ordinary man though, just fucking… Harry… Potter – The sister's eyes opened widely.
- Don't try to deny it, we already know – Hermione said surprising the sisters once again.
- But how—Victoire's question was stopped by the laugh of Hermione and Fleur.
- It had always been obvious dear, since you meet him, you forced yourself to be better and better on the defense against the dark arts class, you even had a picture of him on your room! – Fleur mocked her daughter – Also your career choice wasn't a casualty, you took the job with just one purpose, to get close to Harry! – Fleur added.
Dominique laughed at her older sister's reaction.
- Oh don't act so innocent young lady – Fleur looked at Dominique – Don't think I didn't found those poems that you wrote about Harry – Now it was time for Dominique to be embarrassed, the other women laughed at her – And also, you got better grades because you wanted to impress him… A little cliché if you ask him, but cute anyway – Fleur scratched her chin.
They laughed for some time until they sighed, Hermione clarified her voice.
- Girls… I think it's time – They looked at her expectantly – It's time for you to decide who's going to be with Harry – Hermione placed a hand on Victoire's shoulder.
Fleur smirked as she looked at the bushy haired woman.
- I think the answer obvious here Hermione… I love both of my daughters, but it's obvious that the one who deserves Harry it's Domi – She smiled at her younger daughter and Tori looked at her a bit offended – I'm sorry dear, I love you both but you must admit that it makes sense for Harry to be with Dominique and not with you – Sighed the older veela – You still have Teddy, he's the one for you I'm pretty sure of that, after all… He's been chasing you for a long time – Victoire couldn't believe what she was hearing.
- And why must be Dominique and not me? What does she have that I don't? – Complained loudly the older sister.
Fleur gave her eldest daughter a knowing look.
- You just did it… That attitude of yours… I don't think that Harry would like to be with a conflictive woman, he needs someone who cares about him and will support him through the good and bad, yes, Domi it's perfect for that – She looked at her younger daughter.
- Thanks mom – Said Dominique before she showed her tongue to her older sister.
Hermione couldn't contain herself anymore.
- Stop right there Fleur… If what you're saying it's true, then how come Harry dated someone like Ginny? – Asked Hermione with a smirk on her face, Victoire smirked too – She's the most conflictive woman that we know and even after many years he's still in love with her – Hermione countered and Fleur just smirked.
- Yes, he likes that kind of women, but again… Let's remember how that ended – Fleur smirked again.
The girls looked at each other as the older figures were trying to think of a way to win this debate, Dominique looked at her older sister for a few moments before she sighed.
- I think… That both of us are perfect for him – Dominique said surprising all the people on the room – I hate to admit it, but my older sister is a worthy rival – Tori smirked as she heard that.
Fleur and Hermione looked at each other, they didn't expect things to turn out like this.
- You're right… That's why you're my sister, there's no better rival for me, I'm glad it's you and not Rose – Tori said surprising Hermione.
- Rose too!? – Hermione couldn't believe it.
- So, what do you suggest then? You're the genius of the family after all – Said Dominique and Tori laughed.
- We'll compete… But the one that will decide who's worth to be with him… Will be Harry – Said Fleur's eldest sister surprising the other women.
The idea didn't sound so bad.
- We will ask him first, if he has an answer then we should respect his decision… However, if he doesn't then, we can use all of our tactics to get him – Smiled Victoire – Is that a deal? – The older sister extended her arm waiting for her younger sister to agree with this terms.
Dominique hesitated for some seconds before she saw the taunting smile that her sister had and agreed with her.
- Then I guess we need to start to act – Victoire smiled.
- Do you think it's a good idea to visit him? He must be so busy and tired right now – Domi didn't want to be rude.
Tori just laughed at the way her sister was acting.
- You can stay here if you want… Remember that we can use our tactics, so, don't get mad at me if things don't go the way you want… I'll take a little advantage here, see ya! – Victoire winked at her before she disappeared.
Dominique looked desperate right now, she didn't know where her sister apparated away, she looked at her mother and aunt, Hermione got closer.
- Grimmauld place… It's the house closest to the station where the Hogwarts express arrives – Said Hermione with a soft smile.
Dominique nodded and apparated away, Fleur looked at the current minister of magic surprised of the way she acted, she was helping the niece that she didn't chose.
- What? Did you think I was going to let Victoire win so easily? This needs to get interesting, after all, we're betting Fleur, it wouldn't be fair to say that I won due to cheating circumstances, Victoire knows better Harry after all – The French woman looked at Hermione and both of them smiled.
- Yes, that's true… Let the best win – They both clashed their glasses and cheered before they got back to the party.
And that's what had led to this situation, where the older bachelor, Harry was being kissed by a younger woman, twenty years his junior and his colleague at Hogwarts, Harry couldn't help kiss her back, Victoire smirked as she felt him kissing her back, but Harry stopped the kiss when he saw Dominique behind her older sister.
- Tori! That's not fair! – Complained the younger veela.
- All is fair in love and war dear sister… Deal with it, he kissed me first – Tori smiled triumphantly, showing once again why she was named like that.
- Girls, what's going on? – Asked the older man before he touched his lips which were kissing the younger veela seconds before.
- Harry… There's something you need to know – Started Dominique.
Harry looked at her expectantly as she felt a little embarrassed right now.
- I'm in love with you! – The two sisters confessed at the same time.
Harry couldn't believe what he had just heard, his ex-students were confessing their love for him, or did he heard something wrong?
- What? – The green eyed man couldn't believe what he had just heard.
- The truth Harry is… We're both in love with you and we want you to take a choice, you need to pick between Victoire and me – Said Dominique with a hopeful expression.
Harry sighed, this was exactly one of the reasons why he hadn't dated anyone for a long time, things like this always ruined the experience about falling in love, and worst of all it's that this wasn't the first time that happened to him, it happened to him many times during the school year, many young women confessed their love for him.
- Uh, girls why don't you come inside the house? I'm really trying to understand what it's happening but I feel lost – Harry complained, the two sisters entered inside his house behind him.
They were surprised to see the way the house was, for a long time it held some bad reputation due to the history of the Black family, people always saw them as some kind of blood supremacists, but not everyone was like that, Harry's godfather prove them wrong.
They walked towards the living room and here they sat on the couch, the sisters sat next to each other while Harry was in front of them.
- Okay girls… So, you came here with the intention of me chose one of you to be my lover? That isn't fair, I can't pick one over the other… And also, you're not considering my feelings! – Harry tried to get out of this situation.
- You don't like us? – Asked with puppy eyes Dominique.
Victoire was shocked to see that, her younger sister really had a backup plan, she took advantage of the cuteness that she holds to manipulate the older sorcerer
- Uh…Well, it's not that I hate you or anything girls – Harry tried to explain himself – I think you're both amazing and any guy would kill to be with a woman like you two, trust me, any guy would be delighted to be by your side – Harry added and the sisters looked at each other, for a moment, Victoire thought that finally they could make him lower his defenses but still he wasn't affected by their charms.
- Thanks Harry… You're really a sweetheart – Said Dominique trying to hide her disappointment.
- Harry… You need to choose between my sister and me… I know it will be rough, but you have to do it, this is something that we both need – Harry gulped at Tori's words – I could definitely tell you to reject us but the thing here is… I know that you desire me – Those words shocked Harry and Dominique.
Victoire looked to other side of the room due to her embarrassment.
- Tori… I-I don't know what you're saying… - Harry felt cornered right now.
- Don't lie Harry… My sister is right and not only you have shown interest in her… I have noticed the way you act around me when we're alone – Dominique smirked at him before she got closer – You don't have to hide it anymore… I know that you desire me too – She whispered on his ear and Harry couldn't help but gulp.
Harry was in a dangerous situation right now, a lot of time has passed since he had sex, of course he knew about their crushes, he wasn't so stupid, he was actually used to it, a lot of students sent him love letters and many of them came from the lower grade students.
On the other side, the students of higher grades were more straightforward in what they wanted, suggestive talking and expressing, that always made him feel uncomfortable as he didn't want to do something stupid, he was a man after all, a wizard but a man nonetheless, his instincts always wanted to overcome his logic.
And right now he was in a hard situation, two beautiful veela sisters were practically throwing themselves at him, he just had to choose one, and that's where the hardest part comes, he knows that his words could destroy a family and he didn't want that.
Victoire seeing that Harry was immersed on his thoughts and still hadn't answered the question got on her feet and looked at him.
- Well Harry… If you have a hard time to decide which one of us you should pick let me give you a nice reason to choose me – Said the older sister before she took out her blouse showing her red bra with a soft smie and heavy blush on her face.
Dominique and Harry stood there, shocked to see the way Victoire was acting, Harry felt guilty for feeling his crotch getting hard as he noticed the younger woman's breasts barely covered by her bra.
