Disclaimer: I don't own any part of Harry Potter, and am making zero money from this

A.N Thank you again to all who have reviewed, favourited, followed or even just read, it's really helped motivate me to keep writing, and this chapter was finished so quickly because before I decided to have Pansy and Ginny as well, I'd already started writing it as part of the second chapter. And yes I realise every other chapter has only taken two days but still, don't get used to too many one day brakes.

Hermione

Walking down the corridor, I saw a large gathering of students standing in the cobblestone courtyard gawking at a bunch of girls wearing blue gowns. I rolled my eyes and continued walking along the hall before I was stopped by a hand on my shoulder. Turning around I came face to face with Ginny, she stood there with a grin on her face.

Rolling my eyes, I simply asked "What?"

"Can't you see how hot those girls are?" She asks gesturing to the girls in blue.

I shrugged my shoulders "Sure, but I'm on my way to the library to study, in my book, that comes before some random girls I don't know."

"Come on look at them and tell me which one you think is the hottest," Ginny said as she poked me in the side.

I shook my head, before looking over at them "You know, I'd prefer finding out why they are here." I said as I remembered what Gabrielle said to me, "Shit" I said under my breath causing Ginny to narrow her eyes at me.

"What is it? You know one of them?" She asks taking a good look at each of the girls.

I shook my head "Nah, I don't, I just remembered I really need to do… something" I reply a little awkwardly, before running off. Of course, I didn't have anything to do, I just needed to get away before a certain someone, who may or may not have been there, noticed me.

I hurried toward the library. I smiled at Madam Pince as I walked in, she smiled back at me, and I was glad for it, it took me quite a while to earn her trust with the books, but now that I had it, I was never letting it go. I sat down and got to studying everything we'd been learning in the past two months to make sure it was ingrained in my mind. I always loved it here, the smell of the old books, the dust that flies out of some of the older books, and the silence. Oh God, the silence so I can work is just amazing.

The hours seemed to fly by, and before I knew it, it was time to head down the Great Hall. So I quickly packed up all of my schoolwork and checked out a few books I'd been meaning to read before heading towards the Gryffindor common room. I dropped off all of my things before heading straight to the Great Hall in a hurry, not wanting to arrive late.

Arriving just before the feast usually begins, I sit down between Ginny and Harry with a smile and a wave. Pansy was sitting next to Ginny which was her now usual seat with Emily on the other side of the table, and I could see she was glancing at Harry every few moments. With a smile, I greeted the other girl.

"Quiet!" Dumbledore's voice rang out over the group of gathered students effectively silencing the entire hall. "Thank you, now I'd like to explain a few things to all of you." He stated. As he did so the doors to the great hall opened loudly, revealing a red-faced Ron on the other side. "Mr. Weasley, how nice of you to join us on this fine evening, please, take a seat." Everyone in the Great Hall erupted into laughter which was quickly silenced by Dumbledore once again.

"Now then, how many of you know about the Triwizard tournament?" He asked few people raised their hands and fewer still gasped at the mention of the name. "Well, that's less than I would have assumed, but down to business. The Triwizard tournament is a competition between three wizards, three champions, each from a different school. The champions are to be chosen tomorrow evening at the feast, but all of you, who are over the age of seventeen, will be allowed to enter your name if you'd like to participate. There are also several safety restrictions that, if you are chosen, you will need to memorise before the competition itself starts. Now lastly, onto the schools that will be joining us." He cleared his throat before calling out "Beauxbatons!"

The doors to the Great Hall opened, and a group of young women walked between the tables, they all had radiant smiles painted on their faces. The girls wore matching robes that seemed to flutter around without any movement to aid them and their skirts were much too short for the cold English weather. I looked amongst the group of women until I noticed the girl at the head of the pack, walking next to the tallest woman I'd ever seen, was none other than the annoying girl from my holidays. I was a little upset when she seemed to not notice me and just walked along with the rest of the girls, but I squashed the feeling down.

"Madam Maxime." Dumbledore exclaimed as he brought her hand to his lips "So nice of you to join us."

"Her name definitely suits her," Ron whispered causing everyone within hearing range to snicker.

Madam Maxime led her students towards the Ravenclaw's table, and they started to talk amongst themselves, although I could see Fleur was clearly looking for someone. Her eyes scanned the tables as quickly as they could until they came to rest on mine, she smiled at me, I quickly looked down at the table to hide my face.

I stared intently at the table for about five minutes before chancing a glance back over to Fleur, she was now conversing with the Ravenclaw's with a smile on her face, and I felt a surge of jealousy in the pit of my stomach. Squashing down the feeling, I noticed another group of students were standing in front of Dumbledore, they were all males and wore thick, black cloaks.

"Who are they?" I asked Ginny.

She raised an eyebrow at me, "They're the Durmstrang students… since when don't you listen to everything?"

I just shrugged my shoulders as I watched them join the Slytherin's, I rolled my eyes "Of course they'd be with the Slytherin's," I looked over to Ron and noticed him staring wide-eyed at the Slytherin table. I poked the side of his face, "What's up Ron?"

He looked over at me, then to Ginny and then Harry, "Didn't you guys see him? It's Viktor Krum!" He practically squealed like a little girl when he said Viktor's name. "He is one of the best Seeker's in the world, he played for the Bulgarian National Quidditch team during this year's championships."

Ron was so star-struck he didn't even realise the feast had begun, deciding to let him just stare at this Viktor, I got started on my dinner. As I ate, I could feel someone staring at me, I slowly turned around, my eyes landing on Fleur's, she smiled at me causing me to quickly turn around to hide my slowly growing blush.

A jab to my side had my attention turned to Ginny, "What's going on?"

I shook my head, "Nothing to worry about," I reassured her, she nodded but still seemed sceptical.

As I sat there I could still feel Fleur's gaze on me, and it was joined by a questioning look from Ginny every now and then, and I didn't want to deal with it. I got up from my seat and headed for the doors, leaving the rest of the feast behind me, but before I could get far, I heard it.

"Hermione," the soft French voice filled my ears, it was exactly like my dreams only a thousand times better, and I found it hard to stand.

Slowly turning around, I forced the smile from my face and kept it neutral as Fleur approached, "What?" I said a little harshly and felt bad the moment it happened, but Fleur seemed undeterred in her approach.

She wrapped her arms around me, which was also exactly like the dream only a thousand times better, but I didn't return the hug. Instead, I pushed her away, even though I hated doing it. I watched as a pained expression flickered across her face, but it was gone the second it emerged.

"I just wanted to say hi… and ask for a favour?" the melody of her voice had me weak at the knees, and every fibre in my body begged to be in her embrace once again, but I pushed it away. I motioned for her to ask what she wanted, "I was wondering if you would show me around the castle?" I heard a slight waver in her voice, but it didn't sound like she was nervous, it was more like she was desperate.

"Sure," I blurted as soon as the question was asked, I knew I wanted to spend time with her, I just didn't want her to see how eager I was. But the expression on her face showed me that I'd made the right choice, her eyes were glistening while she beamed a dazzling smile. And I swear she was on the verge of tears, but I disregarded the thought as stupid. "Meet me in the Great Hall tomorrow morning," I smiled as she nodded her head vigorously like a little kid and couldn't help but think how cute she looked doing it. Before I could head out, Fleur wrapped me in another hug which I tentatively returned for a few moments before letting go.

Fleur was still smiling at me, "I'll see you tomorrow," I nodded before turning around and heading back to my dorm with a massive grin on my face, I didn't know how or why she had such an effect on me, I just knew that she did.

Fleur

As I walked back to the Great Hall the giddy, excited feeling slowly left my body, and I slumped down in my seat next to Madam Maxime. The last couple of months had been hell, not just for me but for the people around me as well. The mood swings and anger I felt had me alienating any friends I had within a month, the only person that still talked to me who wasn't a family member was Madam Maxime, but she was my headmistress, I couldn't talk to her about everything. I moved my fingers across my left arm and felt the cuts and scars from the previous weeks, and I cringed, I now didn't know why I let the depression get to me so much. But after finally seeing Hermione again all the pain simply melted away, but our brief interaction wasn't enough, and I felt the pain start to seep back in, and I knew I was really going to be in trouble if I couldn't win her heart.

I felt a small, soft hand come to rest on my knee, I opened my eyes and saw my sister smiling at me, I smiled back at her as I remembered how she'd been allowed to come along for the trip. I had to beg Madam Maxime for three days straight, promising I'd win the Triwizard tournament, should I be picked, while simultaneously finishing the year at the top of my class. She reluctantly agreed to my terms which caused me to wrap my arms around her, it was a little awkward as my head only came to her stomach, but she returned it none the less.

"How are you doing Gabi?" I asked as I placed my own hand on top of hers. She looked taken aback by the question causing me to flood with guilt, I had been a terrible sister after I found Hermione. I'd made Gabrielle cry on more than one occasion, had barely spoken to her unless I was crying into her shoulder yet I still forced her to sleep in my bed with me so I could hold someone when the tears came. I didn't even ask her if she wanted to come to Hogwarts with me, I just forced her into that too.

But once the shock wore off a grin spread across her face and she wrapped me in a fierce hug, she was giggling as she did so, earning a few odd stares from the students surrounding us. "You're back," she whispered, then a sob came from her mouth, she pulled away, and I saw tears running down her face, "You're finally back." She sobbed once more pulling me into another hug and continuously sobbing into my shoulder.

"Uhm, Madam Maxime… would it be alright if I took my sister back to the carriage?"

"Most definitely," Madam Maxime responded shooing us away, but I wasn't sure what she was more worried about, the crying girl or the school's reputation.

Picking up Gabrielle, I walked through the corridors of the castle as quickly as I could while carrying my sister, remembering the route we'd taken to get to the Great Hall I followed it exactly. As I walked, I could feel my sister shaking in my arms as she continued to cry into my shoulder. I stroked her back with one hand while the other held her up, whispering to her.

"I'm never going to leave you again, I love you," I repeated the words over and over, like a mantra, as we entered the carriage. I laid her down on my bed as it was slightly bigger than her own and climbed in with her, holding her for half an hour before she calmed down enough to talk to me.

"You're really not going to leave again?" She asked with a sniffle.

"Definitely not, at least not emotionally like I did, and thank you."

"For what?"

"For helping me through it, I don't know if I would have been able to survive without you," I replied solemnly.

"I'm sure you would have done the same for me," she smiled at me.

"Definitely," I nodded.

We sat and talked for a few hours before she fell asleep in my bed. I smiled as I looked down at her sleeping face, stroking her soft hair I whispered "I'll never leave you again," I promised her, but I knew that if I didn't win Hermione's heart, I wouldn't be able to keep it.

The next morning, I woke up with a newly invigorated resolve to get Hermione, I needed to, not just for my sake but for the sake of Gabrielle as well. I shook her awake and smiled as she grumbled incoherently, before falling back to sleep. I shook her again, her eyes opened this time, and a small smile graced her features, probably happy that I didn't wake her in tears… again.

"Morning" she greeted me with a sleepy voice.

"Morning" I replied, "And it's time to get up, we need to meet with Hermione!" I exclaimed excitedly, throwing the blankets off from both of us.

Gabrielle just giggled at my antics as she rose from the bed, getting ready along with me. We dressed in our school uniforms, and I paid extra attention to my hair and make-up. We walked swiftly from the carriage towards the castle and to my beautiful Hermione. Walking through the open doors of the Great Hall, I smiled as I immediately found the brunette sitting at the Gryffindor table.

I walked up behind her silently, "Morning ma belle," I whispered into her ear, she jumped with a quiet yelp.

She turned to me with a glare, "Not cool," she said angrily before she calmed down a little, "And good morning, I trust your carriage comes with proper blankets, I wouldn't want you all to freeze, and your uniforms don't do much to protect the cold."

Her British accent was extremely beautiful as it played in my ears and I couldn't help the next words that came out of my mouth, "Maybe we could keep each other warm?" my voice was low and sultry. As soon as the words left my mouth, I expected rage or a hard slap to the face, but I didn't get either of those. Instead, Hermione's face turned red, all the way to her ears and she started to babble incoherently. I smiled to myself, this was a very interesting and… favourable reaction.

Getting a grip on reality, Hermione turned to my sister, "And how are you, Gabrielle?"

"I am well, Hermione."

"I must say I when I first saw you I didn't think you were old enough for school," Hermione looked a little confused, glancing between myself and my sister.

"I just started this year," Gabrielle replied with a proud smile, "It's been… fun," the last part was clearly forced, and Hermione caught on, she looked questioningly at me.

'I'll tell you later' I mouthed to her, hoping she'd understand.

"Hey who's the cutie?" A loud red headed boy interrupted us.

I glared at him causing him to visibly shudder, "This is Fleur," Hermione supplied.

I smiled at him after I got over my annoyance and instantly started babbling nonsense as he walked away, "What was that all about?" I asked Hermione.

Hermione laughed lightly, "Just an idiot friend of mine, his name's Ron," she replied.

I nodded, "Anyway, care to show me around now?" I asked with a shy smile.

Hemione nodded, "Sure."

As we started the tour, Gabrielle asked me in French, "We already had the tour, didn't we?"

I blushed lightly before replying, "It was just an excuse to spend time with her."

"Hey, no talking in French, I can't understand a thing you're saying," Hermione ordered.

I nodded immediately, "Sorry, Hermione," I shocked her with how quickly I complied, but she didn't ask about it. Throughout the tour, I was continuously receiving catcalls and stares from a lot of the boys at the school, I rolled my eyes at them all, but Hermione certainly knew something strange was happening.

After the fifth catcall in two minutes Hermione turned on her heel abruptly stopping me, she had an eyebrow raised and looked to be just a teeny bit jealous, "Ok, what the hell are you?"

I looked down at the ground, I knew she didn't mean that literally but in the moment I decided to just let it out, it was easier to say it now rather than later, "I'm a quarter Veela," I replied quietly.

"I'm sorry?" she asked, I was apparently too quiet.

Speaking louder I restated what I was, "I'm a quarter Veela."

Hemione stood there, tapping her chin in thought and I couldn't help but smile at how cute it looked, "Nope, drawing a blank, what's a Veela?"

I looked around hesitantly, I was fine with sharing what I knew with Hermione, but Veela are very private creatures, and I didn't want anyone else to hear the conversation. "Do you know anyone that would be willing to look after my little sister?" I asked hesitantly.

Hermione looked confused but opened her mouth to answer anyway, but before she could a light, an airy voice spoke up from behind us, "I could watch her for you."

I turned around and came face to face with a short blond girl, her hair was a little messy, and her eyes were a light grey colour, "Luna, how are you?" Hermione asked the girl.

"I'm fine Hemione, and you?"

"Very good, and are you sure you can watch Gabrielle?" Luna nodded happily.

"I would be delighted to," Luna replied looking down at my younger sister with a smile. Gabrielle stared back at her with a shy smile, "It's good to meet you, my names Luna," the blond introduced herself to my sister, presenting her hand for my sister to shake.

She took the offered hand, but instead of shaking it as she should have, she pulled Luna's hand to her lips and placed a small kiss on it, I gaped at my sister. "It's good to meet you too, my name's Gabrielle," she spoke softly, still smiling at the girl.

Luna turned her attention to me, "Are you okay with this?" she asked me, and my mind couldn't help but imagine another context it could be used in, and the thought freaked me out.

"I am if my sister is," I responded to both the real question and the one I'd made up, I know she was still very young, but the fact is, I felt things like that when I was younger as well. And I'd heard stories from my mother about Veela who found their mates very young, and the stories were so great and filled with love I wanted to find my mate at that age as well. I knew that's what was going through my sister's head right about now and I didn't want to take away from her happiness, so I allowed her to go without a second thought. "Where will the two of you be?"

"Just down at the Quidditch pitch, Hermione knows the way." The blond girl replied as she turned around.

I watched as my bold little sister skipped away with Luna, they were holding hands, and I felt a small smile grace my lips, it was a very endearing sight to behold. "Gabrielle is quite bold, isn't she?" Hermione asked.

I nodded with a smile, "She really is, but enough about her," I looked back to the girl that held my heart, "Can we go somewhere to talk in private?"

Hermione nodded, "Follow me," she led me through the halls, and as we walked passed the room that held the Goblet of Fire, I pulled her into it, "I thought you wanted to go somewhere private?" she asked with a frown. "This place is hardly private," she said as she looked around at the all the students milling about, a few approached the Goblet, but most were just there to watch. I smiled at her as I went to approach the Goblet, but before I could, to redheaded guys approached it. "What are those idiot's doing? They aren't old enough," Hermione muttered.

"You know them?" I asked.

"Sort of, they're Ron's older brothers," she explained.

They placed their names in the Goblet and turned around when nothing bad happened, but as they were just about to leave the age circle, a white wave kind of looking thing engulfed them, knocking them both to the floor. Slowly their hair started to grow and turn white, and after a few moments, they started blaming each other before they started to wrestle each other.

The entirety of the student body that was present started out right laughing at the two boys, and I couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle myself. I ignored the rest of the fight as I sauntered up to the Goblet myself, I heard a soft gasp come from behind me and turning around, locking eyes with the brunette of my dreams, I dropped my name into the blue flames of the Goblet.

I walked back to her with a smirk, noticing the worried look on her face I decided to tease the girl, "Worried something might happen, and you'll lose me?" I asked suggestively.

She immediately blushed and averted her gaze from mine, "No," she muttered before grabbing my wrist and leading me off of the castle grounds, she sat down on a bench that sat under a big tree in the middle of a field. The bench faced the Forbidden Forest that we'd been told to keep out of, but with the snow resting on the tops of the tree's, and on the floor around the forest, it was hard to think of it as dangerous, it looked too beautiful. "We can talk here, no one usually comes out this far."

I nodded and looked into her eyes, "Veela are magical creatures, sort of half bird and half human but they can change into human form. Since I'm not a full-blooded Veela, this is my normal, and only, form. My mother has limited control since she is half Veela, but she can't change completely. Anyway, we Veela have a strong pull over people, it's called a glamour, and with said glamour, we can get people to do things they normally wouldn't, but it also means a lot of people develop crushes on us quite easily. Some of these crushes have been dangerous for the Veela, there have been stories about people attacking Veela thanks to the glamour."

Hermione nodded along until I stopped speaking, "Am I under your glamour?" Hermione asked a little hesitantly.

I shook my head, "It mostly only works on the opposite sex, but there have been some of the same sex who feel the effects, but they need to be attracted to the Veela for it to work, and even then, the Veela needs to do a little schmoozing for it to work. Also, I was taught from a young age how to control my glamour, I can't turn it off, unfortunately, but I am able to 'turn it down' so to speak."

"Interesting," Hermione said as she was in deep thought.

We sat on the bench for a little longer just chatting about random things that didn't really matter before I decided it was time to relieve Luna of her duty. "Would you mind showing me to my sister?" I asked hoping she'd want to spend more time with me.

The brunette nodded "Absolutely," we walked beside a long tall wall that blocked Hogwarts from the rest of the world. It led to the entrance of the castle, but Hermione led me down a path that ended in a big field, running around it was my sister and Luna, playing happily with each other. I felt bad about ending their fun but it was getting late, and we needed to eat dinner and get some studying in before going to bed.

I called my sister and Luna over to us, and they both ran over to us quickly, "Thank you for looking after my sister," I said with a grateful smile.

"No worries, it was rather fun, if you ever need me to I'll look after her for you," the blond replied with a smile of her own.

"Will do, say goodbye, Gabrielle."

My sister grabbed the older girls robes and pulled her down, she kissed Luna on the cheek and blushed immediately after doing so. "I'll see you at dinner," Gabrielle spoke hurriedly before running off.

"Well, guess that's my cue, goodbye Hermione, and thank you for today," I smiled before taking off after my sister, Glad that Hermione had forgotten what my sister said earlier that day.
