Well enough they wanted to check the food for potions they won't fine cause after becoming a vapor the molecules break and become that of simple water. yeah, Fleur's career path is going to be different than canon.

*************************************************************************************CLAM BEFORE THE...**************************************************************************
JUNE 1st
Harry woke up after being well-rested and all his injuries from the Second Task healed. He still had dreams about Voldemort from time to time but overall he was happy for the first time in his life and all that was credited to the contracts that were discovered also his love, Fleur. He chuckled shaking his head as he got out of bed to get ready.
He made his way to Common room to meet Daphne and greeted her saying "Good morning Daph"
She groaned rubbing her eyes asking "How are you cheerful 5 in the morning?"
He smirked saying "Well if you see something beautiful you will be too"
She gave a coy smile saying "Flattery will get you only so far Potter, come on let's go" before taking his hand and dragging him out.
They reached the entrance lobby and were greeted by Susan saying "Hey, good morning you two!"
He smiled and hugged her saying "Good Morning Sue!".
The hug took redhead and by surprise but she didn't question as she knew for last months he was some was disturbed by his dreams about Voldemort. Breaking the hug she asked, "Okay, what is the occasion for the hug?"
He looked questioningly saying "Why can't I hug just because I want to"
"Oh you can but usually you don't so surprise is natural," Susan said.
Harry was about to answer but was cut by Daphne who said "Oh he is in good mood alright I think he had some cheering potion in the morning or something"
Susan snorted saying "Tell me bout it normally he is Brooding all day"
He defiantly said, "I do not Brood All day" as they reached the gates where Fleur was waiting for them.
He turned to her asking "Fleur tell them I don't brood all day long will you?" glaring at Susan and Daphne.
Fleur smirked saying "Sorry Mon Amour, but I agree wiz zem you do brood"
At this Harry placed a hand on his heart saying "Betrayed!" with expressions of mock hurt.
This caused three of the girls to laugh, Fleur took one of his hands saying "Come on 'Arry Dora is waiting, oh and Good morning!" she peck his lip as she ended.
Harry smiled and returned the peck to her saying "Good Morning"
Susan huffed saying "Hey! Where is my morning kiss?" glaring at him.
He chuckled and tapped his fingers on his lips saying "Well I have yours right here come and get it that is if you can catch me!" with that he took off in the direction of the black lake.
"Oh, that… that…. That…. loveable Bastard!" Susan said frustration hot on his heels.
Fleur laughed at their antics then turned her eyes to Daphne who had a look of longing on her face, she smiled saying "you can ask 'im for a kiss you know. 'e is 'olding back cause 'e wants you to be comfortable after what you went through"
Daphne nodded saying "I know he is a perfect gentleman but as much as I want to I am not there yet" she sighed and said "you are lucky Fleur he values you more than his life"
The French Champion smiled "and I value 'im more zen mine, 'e values all of us more zan anything and everything. Zat includes you too now lets go and see if Susan caught him or not" with that both of them started in the direction of the black lake.
Nearing the lake they saw Harry pinned down by Susan who was straddling his lap panting who was tickling his sides. He held up his hands saying "Okay! Okay! (pant) I yield (pant) you can have your kiss"
Redhead witch smiled wickedly saying "yeah you (pant) do buster" with that leaned down and peck him on his lips. Both of them heard catcalls and looked in direction of the voice only to find it was Dora.
"Wow, Harry Bear! getting bolder aren't we?" both teens blushed and untangled themselves.
Susan started "What's cause this prat made me chase him for a morning kiss!" punching Harry lightly on the shoulder
"Ouch! Hey, I was just messing I was going to kiss you anyway" rubbing his shoulder.
Dora chuckled saying "Oh and where is my kiss Harry Bear?"
Harry smirked saying "Right Dora" he stepped forward and pecked her on the lips, "Good morning" as the lips parted.
Dora smiled saying "Now that is the perfect way to start a day, now let's talk so any news about what Final task is going to be?" looking at Fleur and Harry she asked who shook their head.
Dora gave an almost feral smile and said "Okay then we have to keep in mind that it could be anything so we have to prepare for everything. Let's start with a physical workout" with that they started the training that morning.
After half an hour all 4 teens were lying on the ground panting as Dora was sitting on the rock a shaking her head "you guys are doing well trust me when I started I threw my guts out by the time I ended"
Harry chuckled saying "Aww thanks Dora for that image of you puking"
Dora laughed and offered her hand to him pulling him up on his feet. And then pulled up others.
Susan said "Well after that I am hungry and can use some breakfast, scratch that I can eat a hippogriff right now" everyone chuckled hearing the comment.
Harry said "okay then let's head to Great hall so Dear Sue can have some Hippogriff" chuckling the group head to the castle at the gate Fleur turned to Carriages.
After that near the Grand Staircase Harry and Daphne split from Susan heading towards the Gryffindor common room.
It was after 30 minutes that both of them made their way to Great Hall. As they entered the Hall they caught sight of what made his day. There on the Slytherin table was Draco Malfoy looking normal his golden pounce self. He saw Pany asking him something and he made to answer but instead of an answer, it was a moan. A very sexual moan was heard by the whole room which caused the room to be completely silent before going ballistic with laughter.
At the head table, Snape stood up and made his way to Draco probably to admonish him. He reached and asked the boy to explain his behavior but instead of answering he moaned but this time with a little extra oomph but the ecstasy only lasted for a minute as his face went pale.
Pansy Parkinson who was sitting beside him scrunched her nose before looking down at her boyfriend's pants which were now soaked in his jizz. She didn't say anything but Snape noticed and so did the whole room, as the smell was pungent like rotten eggs. He barked the order for the boy to get out of the room. After Draco ran out of the hall Snape announced "Whoever is doing these Pranks I swear I will have you in detention for the rest of your lives!" eying twins who didn't react and then at Harry who simply made his way to his house table.
Harry took a seat praising Twins saying "Going good guys from color change to boils to changing his voice and now a fully exposing his reality to everyone. The smell was nice touch btw" at the twins Grinned saying
"We are happy you liked…." Fred
"Our services Harrikins…" George
Harry chuckled and said "Okay then lets end do one more and end it for this year"
Twins nodded, Daphne interjected "I think he paid his dues Harry I don't think we must push it too far"
He sighed saying "As you wish Dpah but I still think he has a world to pay before he earns semblance of forgiveness from me"
At this former Slytherin shook her head "No. I am not forgiving him I can't till the day I die but there is no point in doing all these pranks. I am saying leave him for time being and then someday in the future bring your wrath upon him. Let him feel he is safe then strike when he is not expecting to be struck and obliterate him!"
Harry smiled "Snake in the lion's den you are!"
He turned to Twins saying "You heard the Lady, lads we end the battle of pranks today right here, pull down the battlement call the army let it be known we are merciful even to our enemies" in animated fashion causing everyone to chuckle.
"Prat" Daphne said swatting him on his shoulder
Over the last few months, Harry told the twins about his situation as he trusted them unlike their brother Ron who he ignored like he didn't exist.
The youngest Weasley brother wanted to repair his friendship but Harry was firm on not mending the ties at all.
He was not angry cause Ron was jealous of him no, he put up with that since his second year. No his anger was about the things he called Hermione after what all three of them went through. It hurt and angered him more than anything, he was shocked that day when he heard all those things coming out of his 'Bestfriend's Mouth' but he was also glad that it all came out earlier than later.
"Bonjour 'Arry, Daphne" came a sweet voice from behind as Fleur came and sat to his left her usual spot.
Harry smiled and with a kiss on her lips said "Good Morning again, Fleur" smiled saying "well you missed the last act of war on our resident golden pounce"
Fleur made a whining sound saying "Oh I wanted to see zat!" Harry chuckled as it was only in front of him that the poised French champion ever behaved like a child and he loved Babying her as much.
He pinched her cheek saying "Aw I know but we can't have you losing your time of looking ever-gorgeous can we now?"
A light pink blush grazed the French blonds cheek as she said "ever charmer aren't you?" he only smiled and started at his Breakfast action mirrored by Fleur and Daphne
At end of their Breakfast, Ludo Bagman came up at the head table and announced "Champions can you please head to Quidditch Pitch" in a jovial tone.
Harry and Fleur were done with the breakfast standing up he asked "They got some new puzzle for us?"
Fleur shrugged "we won't know until we get zere so let's go and find out"
He nodded turning to Daphne saying "See you later in the class Daph" and Fleur "See you later" waving at her to which she replied "Yeah see you later bye" waving back at them.
Harry was a little apprehensive about leaving Daphne alone but after seeing reassuring smiles from Hermione and Neville.
So he turned to Fleur saying "Shall we?" offering his hand which she took smiling and said, "Oui we shall and don't worry she will be Okay with Neville and 'Ermione" he looked surprised for a minute then smiled then both of them headed out of the Great Hall.
They were joined by On the way and made their way to Pitch. Harry was not much of a friend with Drumstrang Champion other than tasks they practically had zero interaction with each other. Regardless both had mutual respect as sportsmen and competitors.
All three of them reached the pitch and saw that it was no longer grass field with some cushioning charm on it but it covered with 20 feet high hedges with which puzzled them to exactly what the task was, before they to muse any further Ludo Bagman came with Barty Crouch in tow saying "Ah! Good our Champions are here! Now as you see behind us are Hedges any guesses to what the task is?"
Fleur confidently answered "A Maze Monsieur Bagman" the man grinned saying "Correct Ms. Delacour third task is Maze"
Harry smirked internally looking at Fleur and thinking 'Definitely a Ravenclaw!'
"The Maze at its center has the Triwizard Cup which was placed by myself and Mr. Crouch, the champion who takes the cup wins the tournament and moves on to the International Wizarding Competition. Now it wouldn't be a simple maze as you must have guessed but I won't ruin your fun" Bagman said grinning like a madman as he added "also you all will enter as per your scores with 5-minute delays now as it stands Mr. Potter will be First in the Maze then after 5 minutes of him entering Mr. Krum and likewise Ms. Delacour. The task will take place on the 24th of June. The day will be hectic for you a lot as you have a Press meet at 6 in the evening and then we have a Champion's Dinner with their Family at 8 in the tent near the Pitch. The task will Commence at 10:30 and the dinner will end at 9:45 giving you enough time to get ready for the task. So there it is Good Luck Champions, may the Best man or woman win, good day" with that he turned only for Crouch to come forward smiling and saying "Good luck Champions you need it" he said eying Harry irely before turning and leaving.
Three of them stood there for a minute sinking everything in and then Viktor said "It is going to be Hell in there" in heavy Bulgarian accent other 2 chuckled.
Fleur said "Oui but I think it will be worse zan zat"
Harry nodded saying "Well let's not jinx it guys shall we?" another round of chuckles in the trio before they started walking towards the castle.
Harry asked "So Viktor how was your sister after the last task? all good?"
The Bulgarian seeker nodded saying "Da, she was a bit shaken up but alright. Ma and Paa were angry at Highmaster for not informing them before abducting Ekaterina, he reasoned it vas to preserve the surprise element of the task vhich according to me is a bullshit reason for kidnapping a child"
Fleur nodded in agreement saying "Oui, I agree it was not right for zem to zat 'onestly I was scared out of my life for Gabby" she shuddered as she remembered that day.
Harry took her hand saying "It's Alright Love she is safe and with your parents" at this Fleur smiled.
Viktor watched the couple saying "You two act as if you are married already" hearing that couple went bright red much to Viktor's amusement.
Harry quipped saying "So Hermione says you were a perfect gentleman at Ball. She is like a sister to me so like a brother it is my duty to ask what are your intentions with my sister Viktor?"
The older champion became a statue where he stood and sputtered a little before saying "I- I don't know but I would like to date her and care for her she is smart and not like other girls who fawn over me" looking thoughtful.
"Look Viktor she is really special and I would hate it if I had to hunt you down if you even make her cry a tear" the older champion didn't dare to laugh seeing the look of 'don't try me' so he just nodded to which Harry smiled saying "Good on you Viktor now let's get going I have Transfiguration so let's hurry," he said turning to Fleur who was watching the whole exchange with utter awe and shock.
She snapped out it as hearing Harry asking "What was zat?"
Harry shrugged and said "It started at as a joke but hearing the honest answer I had to warn him I really would hate it but I will make good on the promise of hunting him if he hurts Hermione"
Fleur smiled taking his arm saying "I never took you a protective brother 'Arry and I have a feeling you will be a protective Father"
He grinned nodding saying "You bet I would but I think we need to go I don't want detention for being late"
Harry reached his class with a minute to spare. He took his seat beside Daphne who glared at him saying "where were you? its only minutes before the class starts"
Panting he answered "I was (pant) at Quidditch Pitch (pant) as I told you (Pant) rest I will tell you later" Daphne nodded and looked ahead as Professor McGonagall entered the Classroom.
The class was on Cross-Species Transfiguration mostly theory. It was something Harry didn't mind as to him even the theory of everything was completely fascinating. After 2 Hours Mcgonagall said, "Okay class I want 2 feet on cross-species transfiguration on my desk by Tuesday then we will start the practical on the class subject dismissed."
After class, the whole group minus Hermione was sitting at Gryffindor Table and was joined by Susan and Hannah.
"So what was it about earlier?" Susan asked Harry while helping herself with some potatoes.
Harry said "it was about the third task its maze and we have to find the cup in it first to the cup wins"
Daphne frowned saying "it is not that simple is it?"
He chuckled saying "It won't be a death tournament if it was so easy would it now?"
Daphne nodded saying "So any idea what is waiting for both of you in that death maze?" Harry and Fleur shrugged the latter answered "We don't know what it would be but we are ready for about anyzing"
Harry nodded in agreement "Yeah that's true but I don't want to jinx myself by saying something stupid so let's be cautious" everyone snickered nodding.
"Um….Harry mate did you do something that would anger Hermione?" Neville asked as he gulped hard.
Harry looked at his friend before he gulped hard "Is she standing behind me?"
Neville nodded, Harry asked again "On a scale of 0 t 10 how dead am I ?"
Neville said "I think she can give You-Know-Who run for his money"
Harry sighed and said, "Thanks mate see you on the other side" with that he turned.
He saw a furious Hermione staring down at him, in that moment she seemed almost 10 feet tall and he felt as small as 10 cm. He smiled nervously saying "H-Hey Mione" and counted for Mt. Granger to erupt and his inevitable doom with eyes shut.
But the eruption never came instead he found himself Body slammed in the fiercest of the Hermy Hugs to date.
"You Brilliant fool brother of Mine! Thanks for the whole 'overprotective brother act' but you did scare of Viktor but I don't mind that he was not my type anyway I was going to break up with him soon" Hermione said hugging him.
What she said took Harry by surprise and he replied "Ummmm… your Welcome I had no idea I just wanted for him not to hurt you but it looks like I did you a favor"
Hermione broke her hug and smiling she said "Oh you did a favor but next time don't scare off any of my boyfriends or at least be subtle with the warning next time"
Harry smiled saying "No Promises" this earned him a hard swat on the shoulder from her saying "Prat"
Hermione sat down opposite him asking "So what did Mr. Bagman say?"
Sighing Harry recounted everything he already told his other friends. Hermione bit her lips and said "I think it would have enchantments, spell, and Magical creatures not like chimera but less dangerous ones like Boggarts. So in that sense, it would test endurance, your skill to think when facing unknown and Knowledge" she paused a minute "they would be separating all of you that means once in your on your own to deal with everything and I assume maze would be constantly changing its layout so no way to trace your steps back if you take a wrong turn. But how would you get out of the Maze once you reach the cup?" she finally looked up at her friends looking at her in awe and a blush crept on her cheeks.
"Brilliant Mione! Your triad gave me and Fleur at least a hint of what it would in the Maze" Harry said.
Fleur chuckled as she watched Bushy haired girls Blush bright red, she said "Now, Mon amour don't make 'er any redder zen she already is or she will faint from embarrassment" this caused the group to laugh and Hermione to hide her face in her hands
After Lunch Harry asked, "Care for a walk near Black Lake, anyone?"
He looked at the group but eyed his future wives longer. Susan said "Sorry Harry have to complete my Herbology essay so will be at Library with Neville" he looked at the Boy who nodded. Fleur replied "Desole, Mon amour I too 'ave essay to right can't skip on studies can I now?" Harry smiled saying "No and I don't want you to" he turned to Daphne "looks like it's you and me Daphe" the redhead smiled saying "it does so let's go"
The Group left the Hall and Made it to their respective destinations. Harry and Susan reached Lake walking quietly for a few minutes before Daphne asked "Harry what do you want to do after Hogwarts?"
Harry gave her a puzzled look asking "Where did that come from?"
She sighed saying "Well we all know or at least have some idea what we want to do in the future but you just said it is a surprise but I think you either don't know what to do or don't want to tell us"
Harry looked surprised and asked, "When did you become so perceptive Daphne?"
She snickered saying "I was a Slytherin remember, besides it is bugging me constantly so would you please just answer and lay my curiosity to rest?" with best puppy dog eyes she could.
Harry chuckled saying "Nice try but I won't tell you just yet and it's not I did not think of what I wanted to do it's just I want to keep it a secret for now then surprise all seven of you"
At this Daphne pouted saying "Fine don't tell me but you are not getting any kisses from me till the day of the final task" huffing she said.
Harry gave a lopsided grin saying "Okay but remember this when the day comes you will be the one racing the other two to kiss me" he sassed back.
She narrowed her eyes saying "Oh we will see who runs after who for a kiss" in a challenging voice.
Harry replied in the same tone "Oh yes we will" after staring at each other for some time both broke into a fit of laughter.
After a few minutes, they calmed down and resumed their walk. Daphne again asked "So what about summer where will we stay?"
Harry did a double-take saying "Why Of Course at Black Manor"
Their walk lasted a few more minutes before they had to return as both had Classes. Harry his way to Ancient Rune, attending the class was the best decision he made according to him. He learned about wards and ward stones. Also how practically everything used my magical use runes, especially in wizarding households he was surprised to learn that even his Firebolt had used rune e never looked at it in detail which he would now.
After the Class Harry was descending the stairs when he bumped into someone he saw something falling and with his seeker reflex, he caught the object only to see it was a glass orb.
He looked up only to see it was Professor Trelawney he smiled and said "Oh sorry Professor I was lost in my thoughts and didn't see you coming"
The bi- spectacled woman smiled and said "Oh! Mr. Potter, I was getting late for class and in hurry, I didn't see you either so no need to apologize, and thank you for saving my orb. It's real shame that you are not in my class this year you might have the sight you know"
Harry gave an awkward polite smile saying "I know Professor but it was my guardian who suggested the change any way I here is your orb" he passed the orb to the professor who smiled and started "then-" but it was all she could say before going into trance like state and saying in a raspy voice:
"He will return all in his might
Not in a form of a human but something else in the night
His servant will be his aid
The one who left his friends betrayed
Under the night sky, they shall unit
Master and servant by the moonlit graves of the night
He will return in all his might…"
*cough* *cough* Trelwaney coughed before saying "Oh Thank you Mr. Potter now I have to haste as I am late for my class, the good day Mr. Potter" as she walked past a stunned Harry.
He took a moment to recover sighing he said "and that's the reason I left her class" he made it to the common room and saw Daphne was working on the Transfiguration essay on the couch.
Harry sat beside her asking "On to the business already huh?"
The blond nodded still writing and saying "Yep the faster we finish more time we have to spend with each other before summer"
Harry cocked his head asking "why? I mean it's nice to spend time with you but what is this about doing it before summer"
She gave an exasperated sigh looking at him and saying "Cause when summer comes I have to go to my parent's house and you will have to spend time with other 3 ladies who are severely missing you daily while four of us are hogging you every day!"
Harry's lips made the shape of 'O' as he nodded as he took out parchment and quill from his bag saying "well let me start too then as you said faster we can finish more time we can spend together" with a wink which made the girl blush before she refocused on her work
Both of them were later joined by Hermione and Neville in doing the work. Four of them finished the 2 feet essay just in time before Dinner and headed towards the Great Hall. Fleur joined them at the Gryffindor table as they started eating. She noticed that all the while during diner Harry was unusually quiet and she wasn't the only one as Susan and Daphne too noticed it.
Fleur placed her hand on the back of his asking "Mon amour, are you okay you are not eating"
Harry broke out of his thought looked at her and shook his head and turning his hand he interlaced his fingers with her's saying "It's nothing just a little nervousness about the task that's all."
Fleur was not convinced so she asked again "Are you sure that's all?"
He nodded still smiling he said, "Yeah it's nothing bad just a little nervousness but don't tell people that after all, I have a reputation to maintain don't I ?"
Fleur snickered and nodded saying "Okay I won't but stop worrying about it we will get through it and eat!"
All of them retired to their dorm rooms after diner. Lying on his bed he waited for sleep to take him over but it never came. Harry was anxious as for the past 3 years everything went down at the end of his school year. First, it was Quirrel-mort who was after philosopher stone, the second year it was a Ginny controlled by Tom riddle who unleashed a 60 feet long basilisk on the school, and 3rd year it was his godfather who called a Mass murder and convicted criminal without a trial for him he traveled back in time and fought hoard of 100 dementors.
All those events made him wary of the end time of his school year and that was making him anxious to the nth degree. Sighing once again he closed his eyes slipping into the realm of Morpheus
