A Dangerous Love By: MaggieGirl

Disclaimer: No, unfortunately I DO NOT own JK Rowling's characters. Sophie and her family are my characters, and any others I mention that Rowling hasn't. The plots mine too.

Thank you so very much for reviewing: Twilight Aurora, Maddy Nicola Snape, maru, Sage, Maxx77, and Abbey (by the way, I love that name! It's my lil sis's, but she spells it Abbie to match my name!)

I would have been posting more sooner, but I really wanted more reviews.*sniffle* lol, and I've been busy with school, band, newspaper and the whole marching band at football games makes me so tired I cant work on getting more story up for you guys. I'm still worked up about last Friday's game. Booroo, go Bulldogs, n-e-ways, forgive my school pride and temper, which get the better of me sometimes!

This will be the eighth chapter and I promise I have much, much more already written and I will have it uploaded as soon as possible. Remember, the more reviews I get, the faster I work ^_^

On with the story, and if any of you have questions or comments feel free to IM me on aim: marchindawg or msn: maggebradshaw@msn.com or review! Thanks!

Chapter 8: Meeting Léopold

"Annette!" Sophie yelled, seeing her first. She ran to her and threw her arms around her.

"Oh. 'Tis a fine day we are 'aving!" Annette said, hugging back.

"Xander!" she yelled, seeing her brother step in the door. She threw herself into his arms. He laughed and hugged her.

"Hey there, Sophie. Léo's here too."

"Léo?" Sophie asked in a breathless whisper. "Oh, oh my!" The entire time Harry had stood back, but he didn't like her reaction to this Léo.

Sophie was looking over her brother's shoulder. Léopold stepped through the doorway. Tall, broad shouldered, startling blue eyes and a mop of curly blond hair looked back at Sophie. He smiled and held out his arms for her. She ran over and he hugged her and gave her a kiss, mind you, a simple peck on the lips, but it hinted at them being more than friends. Harry's expression darkened.

He realized, when it came down to it, he was no competition for this handsome twenty-one year old Frenchman.

"'Allo mon beau chéri! How 'ave you been mon amour?" He asked in his sexy French accent. Harry noted he still had his arm around her waist.

"Oh, delightful!" Sophie exclaimed. "This is such a lovely place."

"Then I too am 'appy." He said, grinning.

Sophie suddenly noticed Harry was still there. She stepped away from Léo and walked over to Harry. She smiled at him and it was almost enough to melt his anger, almost. She took his hand and walked him over to where the three stood.

"Annette, Alexander, Léopold, this is Harry Potter. Harry, my dear, this is my brother Alexander."

"Alex to my friends." Alexander added, shaking Harry's hand. Harry noticed Alex glanced up at his scar, but thankfully he didn't gawk like others did.

"This was my lovely housekeeper Annette."

"Hello."

"`Ow do you do?"

"Fine, thanks."

"And this is her son Léopold."

"Hello Monsieur Potter." Léo said with a little bow. Harry gave a slight nod.

"We have to go talk to Uncle Albus, will you please excuse us?"

"Oh, by all means."

"Pardon, ma chéri. I shall see you later, perhaps?"

"Of course Léo."

"Well, au revoir then."

"Goodbye Léo."

Annette, Alexander and Léopold trooped off to the Headmaster's office. Harry stood where Sophie had left him. She was staring off into space thinking about something. Harry wrongly presumed it was Léo and stormed off to the Gryffindor tower. Sophie gaped after him, wondering what was wrong.
