Summary: Gabrielle Delacour sees a celebrity.

Gabrielle Delacour was excited. She had never been out of France before, but now, she was going to Hogwarts for this coming school year in a special student exchange for the Triwizard Tournament.

Excited, yes, but also nervous. Oh my! What an experience for a young girl. She was sure to work extra hard on her English so she could speak better with those students in Hogwarts.

Then there was the matter of being at Hogwarts. She had heard all sorts of things about the ghosts who 'lived' there! What was that even like? Ghosts didn't haunt Beauxbatons, as far as she knew.

But the most nerve-wracking thing of all was that Hogwarts housed a celebrity! She had heard plenty about Harry Potter, but now, was she really going to see him? Gabrielle could barely stop herself from bouncing off the walls. Fleur yelled at her in more than one language, none of it pretty, to just STOP already! Gabrielle couldn't help how excited she was.

Gabrielle stopped, briefly, for as long as she could, which didn't last long at all. But the young girl tried to let her excitement show when she was alone.

The day came when she finally stepped out onto the grounds of Hogwarts. She didn't see him immediately. She had to wait for what felt like hours. She had to wait until they finally got into the Great Hall. That was when the moment came when she first laid eyes on the famous young wizard who had ended the Dark Lord while just a baby.

He was sitting there, his hair messy, with bright eyes. They were everything she had imagined, but even better as well!

Harry's eyes quickly glanced over her group, but Gabrielle felt he had just looked straight at her. She melted into the background as much as possible, feeling her cheeks turn hot.

She had just seen Harry Potter! That was the best moment in her young life so far.
