Three Beauxbatons students were waiting together on the docks of Paris. They were the three sixth year prefects at Beauxbatons Academy. Madame Maxime, the Head Mistress, had told them to retrieve the new students, and show them around the city a little bit, and then bring them back to Beauxbatons. They were Katrina, Felicity, and Jacques.
Katrina was tapping her foot impatiently. She muttered to herself loudly, "Zis is ridiculous! Zat stupid ship iz never on time. Moi had 'oped that we would be able tour ze city, but non! Zis waiting iz oh!"
Katrina was a native to France. She was very beautiful, and she turned loads of heads at Beauxbatons. She had very long curly red hair, glittering green eyes, and very white even teeth. Katrina was also a part time model. She had the perfect to die for figure.
Katrina sneered, "I 'ope that zis iz ze last time I 'ave to do zis!"
Jacques laughed, "Oh, my 'tres belle'. Why ze long face? Lighten up a bit. Oui?"
Jacques was very handsome and also a French native. He was the Keeper of the Beauxbatons Quidditch team. He had unruly blonde hair, and very deep- set blue-violet eyes. However, Jacques was a player, and he broke many girls' hearts. He just could not commit.
Felicity smirked, "Please. I am sure we will not have to wait too much longer. I am sure they will be here any second."
Unlike Jacques and Katrina, Felicity was not French, but English. Also Felicity was very ordinary looking. Her light brown hair was a bit frizzy, and her eyes did not twinkle and they weren't remarkable, but they were only a dull hazel. Felicity also had glasses, because she read so much.
"I am positive the ship will be here at any moment. There is no need to worry." Felicity repeated to the other two.
"You said zat about six times, you fool. Now kindly shut up with your happy remarks, s'il vous plait!" Katrina snapped angrily.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Hermione felt her heart flutter as she gazed across the horizon. She could hardly contain herself. They were here. In Paris, the City of Love. You could see the buildings and you could really tell how beautiful the city really was.
Hermione lost her nervousness quickly and she cried loudly, "We are here! Guys! Look! Look!"
Draco rolled his eyes, "I don't see the big deal, Hermione. I mean, well, I don't know. I have a bad feeling about this. I don't' know what it is, but- "
Pansy laughed, "Don't be silly! Paris! This might be fun! OH! Guys I actually feel excited!"
Pansy dropped the fashion magazine, and gripped Ron's shoulder tightly. Ron winced, "Ouch! Pansy! That hurts!"
Pansy giggled contently, "You know what! We might be able to go on a date Ron if we have time! We really should get to....know each other better."
Ron blushed furiously, and the rest of the group laughed. Harry rolled his eyes, "'Get to know each other better' Yeah right. It sounds like cat calling to me Ron!"
Pansy glared, and Ron continued to blush. Hermione shook her head, and realized that she positively could not wait for the adventure that lie ahead of her, in this strange and foreign land.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Felicity was the first to spot the group of teens walking toward them. It was obvious who they were, because they we wearing the Beauxbatons robes, that the academy sent to them.
Felicity smiled happily to herself, and said quietly, with no signs of showing off, "See, I told you they would be here."
Katrina rolled her green eyes, "Oh! You are ze most annoying fille moi has ever met!"
Jacques laughed, and his eyes fell on Hermione, who was laughing with Ginny and Pansy. Jacques raised his eyebrows devilishly. He smirked, "Look at zat chic with ze long curly caramel hair. She iz one hot, sexy chica. Iz she not?"
Katrina giggled coyly, and Felicity glared, "JACQUES! Be careful. She may all ready have a boyfriend. You don't want to do anything stupid!"
"Oh! Bonjour mes amis!" Katrina called over to the group of wandering teens. The group looked up and Draco muttered, "I suppose these are the prefects that were sent to fetch us. They look like a stupid bunch."
"I suppose so, but she doesn't look stupid." Ron replied, staring at Katrina, "Wow. Have ever seen a girl with boobs like THAT!"
"RON!" Harry said warningly, while nodding at Pansy, who luckily did not hear him.
"O-Oh right." Ron replied, with pick spots forming on his cheeks.
Felicity, Jacques, and Katrina walked up to the group. "Hi. I am Felicity. This is Jacques and this is Katrina. We are going to take you to Beauxbatons, get you acquainted, and all that other good stuff. But first, we would like to get to know you better. Tell us your names."
"I am Harry Potter." Harry said.
"OH! Ze Harry Potter. OH! Moi has 'eard so much about you. I am delighted. Zis iz such an honor." Katrina said, batting her long eyelashes at him.
Harry felt his cheeks burn and Ginny glared. Jacques looked at Ginny and laughed, "And who iz zis little buttercup?"
Ginny stared at Jacques well built figure and sputtered, "I-I am Ginny."
"Zat iz a cute name indeed. It suits a lovely young lady like you." Jacques replied to Harry and Ron's greatest dislike.
Felicity sensed the tension and continued asking, "What is your name?"
"I am Draco Malfoy." Draco said full of confidence. He obviously did not like Jacques one bit, because he noticed Jacques eyeing Hermione up and down.
"And you?" Felicity continued.
"Ron Weasley"
"You?"
"Pansy Parkinson."
"And finally you?"
"Hermione Granger."
Jacques stared at Hermione intently. He purred, "Oh! 'Ermione. Such a beautiful name. It certainly suites a belle like you. Most definitely."
Hermione couldn't help but smile, "Why thank you, Jacques."
"My pleasure." Jacques said in a gentlemanly manner.
Draco glared at Jacques, and sneered, "I suppose you are quite the 'Hot Shot Player' around here, yes?"
Hermione glared at Draco, but Jacques just laughed, "Well, I can see you are quite ze talkative one around zese parts, oui?"
Jacques smirked, and walked next to Katrina who said, "No we will show you how you get to Beauxbatons exactly. You 'ave to take ze trams in order to get there."
"The what?" Draco asked.
"The trams." Hermione said, "They are like little buses that take you from place to place. I thought you guys used trams of some sort. I read it in "Beauxbatons: Learning Magic the Francais Way"'
"Well, I can see somebody reads around here!" Felicity said happily, "Hardly anyone around here reads a thing anymore."
Hermione smiled, "You like to read."
"Oh very much." Felicity replied.
Katrina laughed, "Oh! You and your silly reading. Zat is so preposterous! We shall go now! Come on! To ze trams!"
~*~*~*~*~
The trams were an ideal way to travel of course. Boarding them was basically the same as boarding the Hogwart's Express. The group went to the tram station and went through one of the barriers. It contained magical trams that went from Beauxbatons, and other magical locations all over Paris.
Everyone was impressed. The group managed to push all frightening thoughts about Voldemort, Lucius, and what not out of their heads as they listened intently to what Katrina was saying.
"Zis iz ze city Paris. The City of Love some may call it. Now, I sincerely 'ope that you will enjoy all of the fine beauties around you. Think about it in zis city, you are in Heaven."
As Katrina said this, she winked at Harry. Harry felt his cheeks burn again, and he also felt Ginny's angry stare. Harry did not really like the fact that Katrina was flirting with him, when he had all ready stated on their ride through Paris that Ginny and him were an item. Katrina did not seem to get the hint.
Hermione also was getting a little annoyed with Jacques booty calls. He kept saying how beautiful Hermione looked. He didn't say it once. He didn't say it twice, but he said it at least six or seven times. Hermione also noticed Draco was not too pleased. When Draco was angry he was capable of anything. He had his father's temper, even though Hermione hated to admit that.
Draco finally tore his eyes away from Hermione and Jacques, and he said to Felicity, " So you read a lot? It reminds me of someone I know!"
Hermione could sense the agitation in his voice. Hermione gulped, and looked at Pansy. Pansy glared at Jacques and mouthed, "He seems like a player."
Hermione nodded, and thought to herself, ~ Well, as long as Jacques doesn't pull any serious moves on me, I really have nothing to worry about I suppose. ~
Jacques smiled flirtatiously, "'Ermione, maybe if you would like, I could show you around the grounds of Beauxbatons. Ze are very lovely at night, just like you."
Hermione saw Draco flinch, and she also saw Ron snicker. Ron loved it whenever Draco was placed in an uncomfortable situation such as this one. They still had a hidden rivalry as much as Ron tried to deny it to Hermione.
Hermione smiled at Jacques, "Well perhaps we will all be able to go on a tour around Beauxbatons."
Hermione slipped her arm around Draco and smiled. Draco did not return the smile, and slowly moved Hermione's arm away from him. He turned to Katrina, "When the hell are we going to be at this place anyway?"
"OH! In a few minutes. Please, perhaps later, I will 'ave time to take you guyz on a tour around ze city. I 'ope you enjoy it." Katrina said, with her green eyes sparkling.
Draco rolled his eyes, "Whatever. I am sure I enjoy it will very much."
Hermione noticed that his voice was dripping with sarcasm. Hermione glared at Draco. Someone had issues to work out today. ~ Oh well, I better not take him too seriously. Maybe when we head to Beauxbatons, and get settled Draco and I can have a chat. ~ Hermione thought to herself.
Pansy looked at Draco and sighed. He was annoyed. Pansy could tell. When they went out during fourth year, Pansy could always tell when he was pissed. Now was one of those times.
Pansy chuckled and thought ~ Well, I hope that Jacques knows what he's doing. He should not be flirting with Mione too much! He does not want to face Draco's angry wrath! ~
Okay! I think these chapters are quite good so far. I am quite proud of my work so far! I hope you are too!!
