NB : Old babbling... I don't own any of the characters of the Harry Potter book. The only character I own is Sabrina Morgan (cos she's myself with another name *lol* and I guess I own myself *lol*)

Chapter One - Fleur Delacour

Harry had never been that happy to meet Ron and Hermione on Diagon Alley. He had had a very bad summer with the Dursleys. "Harry!" Hermione ran and gave a big hug to Harry. Ron arrived after, walking slowly.

"Hey! Harry!
-Hi Ron! How are you?
-Well, I'm fine… and you?
-Oh… let's not talk about it! The Dursleys were worse than ever!"

They sat at a table outside. Hermione went to buy three ice cream cones.

"Ron? What's the problem?
-I…
-Ron is just angry because… of a conversation we had… interrupted Hermione.
-What were you talking about?
-It's not important!" said Ron.

Definitely, those two would never be able to agree on something.

"So? Any news? I feel like I've been away from the magical world for so long…
-Well, I've had some… news about Hogwarts, said Hermione even if Ron was doing a very angry face.
-What's the problem? -There's no problem… It's just that… Ron doesn't want to admit this news makes him happy…" said Hermione with a strange smile, like she was trying to tease Ron.

Harry was in a hurry to know what was happening but it just seemed like nobody would tell him. He turned around to watch the people on the terrace, when he saw something unusual. He looked at Hermione. "Hermione? Do you know what Fleur Delacour is doing here? With the teachers?" Hermione had a huge smile of satisfaction.

"This is what I was talking about. Fleur is going to be teacher at Hogwarts!
-Really?! What is she going to teach?
-But Harry! It's obvious!
-Uh… no, not really…
-Blimey! You never use your brain?! said Hermione with a discouraged sigh.
-Sorry, Hermione! said sarcastically Harry. I'm sorry that I'm just an ignorant bloke!
-That's not what I meant… replied Hermione with a sorry look. You have never realised there's a class where we'll miss a teacher?
-Oohh… Defence Against the Dark Arts!
-Yes! This is it! I've heard she was really good at it…"

Ron seemed to be fed up. He was sitting there, keeping is eyes on his ice cream cone. His face was so red Harry was sure he was gonna explode. Hermione was still babbling about Fleur. Harry kept looking at Ron and then realised it was gonna be the worse thing ever…

"CAN'T YOU JUST STOP!!! howled Ron.
-Stop what? said Hermione with an innocent look.
-Talking about Fleur!
-But I thought you liked her!
-See! That's what annoys me the most about you Hermione… stop thinking for others!
-Oh… said Hermione with a false sad look.
-I'm sorry Herm…
-No! It's okay! I understood" replied Hermione, now with a false angry look.

She winked at Harry and left the table. A minute after, Fleur Delacour came at their table.

"Ronald? Hermione told me dat you wanted to talk to me?
-Uh… me? no… I…
-What is ze problem Ronald?
-Uh… no, nothing!
-D'accord…" and she left.

Hermione was back 30 seconds after with an annoying "I'm so proud of myself" smile. She sat next to Ron, came closer and whispered in his ear : "Now, tell me you don't like her…" She laughed, finished her ice cream cone and got up.

"So, who's coming? We've got plenty of things to buy!
-Oh, I'm coming" said Harry.

Ron was still sitting, always keeping is eyes on his ice cream cone like it was the most interesting thing around.

"Ron? asked Hermione.
-I'm coming… only if you promise you'll stop talking about all this, answered Ron with his face more red than ever and a very angry voice.
-It's okay, I promise" giggled Hermione.
