A/N: AW! 32 reviews all ready! This has only been up for a day, and I am all ready getting positive feedback. OH! You guys. I love you! Do you really think I am that good of a writer? Wow.
After about another half hour, the group had reached Beuxbatons Academy. It was a beautiful school indeed. It was a grand white castle that looked like it was out of a fairy tale. It also had many tall winding towers, maybe even more then Hogwarts! The campus was green and lush, and covered with white lilies. There were many rolling hills, and several lakes.
Since it was Saturday, there were no classes. All of the students appeared to be relaxing outside and enjoying the wonderful weather. It was really warm and sunny out for November. The students all seemed happy here, much happier then they have been at Hogwarts.
Katrina smiled, showing all of her white teeth, "Well, zis iz ze wonderful Beauxbatons Academy. I sincerely 'ope you all enjoy ze fine facilities."
Ginny smiled back, "It certainly is beautiful. Merci beaucoup, Katrina."
"Oh! Ze pleasure iz all mine. Your French iz very good, Ginny." Katrina replied. "I see you 'ave a dictionary with you. Well, study your French hard."
Ginny beamed, and suddenly Ron gasped, "It's Fleur."
Sure enough Fleur was hurrying across the campus to meet the group. Her long silvery blond hair was tied up in a bun, and she was smiling broadly. Katrina waved, "Bonjour Madame Delacour! Il y a les nouveau étudiants!"
Fleur nodded, and looked at Felicity, Katrina, and Jacques, "Bien. Vous allez maintenant."
The three smiled. Katrina grinned at Hermione, Ginny, and Pansy; "Perhaps moi can introduce you to my friends. After all, I want you to hang out with the right people."
After Katrina said that she looked at Felicity and began to giggle. Jacques winked at Katrina, "Now, do not make fun of ze, uh- socially challenged one, Kat."
Felicity blushed, and headed away from the group. She walked away to the most deserted part of the campus, carrying her book. Jacques and Katrina left as well to join a huge group of people, relaxing by one of the lakes.
Hermione glared after Katrina and thought ~ She thinks highly of herself that one! How dare she criticize a soft-spoken person, like Felicity? ~
Fleur beamed at the group of news students, "Bonjour, and welcome to Beauxbatons. I will be sure to do all zat I can to make you feel at home, just like 'Ogwarts."
Fleur took a deep breath and continued, "I do recognize some of you from ze tournament a few years ago. Ron, 'arry, and 'Ermione are especially familiar. I 'ope you will find France a wonderful place, and I apologize for ze short notice about coming 'ere. Are zar any questions?"
Ron blushed deeply as he said, "A-are y-y-you going to be one of our professors, M-M-M-Madame Delacour? I would really be h-happy if you were!"
Fleur noticed Pansy glaring at Ron. She smirked, "Ron, I 'ope zat you do notice zat it iz not polite to flirt when your tres belle fille iz right here before our eyes. May zat be lesson number ONE to you 'ere at Beauxbatons!"
Pansy giggled and Ron looked mortified. Hermione nodded approvingly. Fleur was on the right track of being a professor. Fleur sighed, "Yes, Ron I will be your professor. Zis iz my first year teaching DADA. But I am not ze only new professor. Professor Jean Dulandez iz ze new Transfiguration professor as well. Our other one retired quite quickly. I don't know why though."
"Has Professor Dulandez arrived?" Ginny asked.
"He will be 'ere in a few days." Fleur said smiling.
Harry sighed, "Madame Delacour? Are there houses here at Beauxbatons?"
Fleur smiled, "Yes! Zere iz as a matter a fact. Zere iz three. Zey are Malin, Amical, and Vaillant. 'Ere at Beauxbatons we will sort you at ze feast. Ze professors will look at you closely and decide where you belong! Now, I will take you up to see Madam Maxime. We 'ave lots of stuff to tell you."
Draco smirked, "Well, I hope wherever house I am in, I sincerely hope HE is not in it!"
Draco then glared at Jacques, who was standing across the campus laughing with a gorgeous blond girl, who Hermione recognized as Fleur's sister, Gabrielle.
Hermione laughed at Draco, "It sounds like someone is a tad bit jealous."
Draco flushed and snarled, "Jealous? Of that punk? In your dreams, Mione."
Hermione giggled, and hugged Draco. Draco sighed, and patted Hermione on the back.
Fleur seemed impressed, "AH! Now you are showing ze right way of flirting. Zere iz 'ope for you after all."
Draco glared at Hermione, and Fleur laughed, "Now! Shall we go! We need to get you all settled in as soon as possible. Allons-y!"
Fleur turned around and her long blond hair ripped in the sunlight. The group followed her. Pansy glared at Ron as they were walking, "Ron? Listen, I saw you eying Fleur, and Katrina. That is two girls in only two hours. Ron, I want you to have eyes for me only."
Ron seemed flabbergasted, and Hermione laughed, "Listen to Pansy. She obviously knows best about your little 'relationship'."
Ron rolled his eyes, and Draco sneered, "Well Hermione, you aren't one to talk. I mean you have been getting a little too close to that Jacques since we got here."
Hermione gave him the McGonagall expression, "I haven't been getting close to him. He has been getting close to me."
Ginny agreed, "Did you hear what he called me? Buttercup? How weird is that!"
Harry put his arm around Ginny, "Pretty damn weird. I think he is a little too desperate for SOMETHING!"
The rest of the boys agreed. Pansy pursed her lips and said, "Well, that Katrina seems a little desperate for something as well!"
Ron snapped, "That's not true!"
"Whatever Ron!" Pansy growled angrily.
"Now children," Fleur cut in, "No fighting s'il vous plait. It iz not necessary. I wish zat you will be quiet and sympa to each other during your time at Beauxbatons."
Hermione sighed, and decided to bring up a new subject. "Felicity seems awfully nice. She likes to read! Finally someone who appreciates the art of literature."
Harry snickered, "Well I suppose it is about time. After all, it only took you six years to find somebody who liked to read as much as you do."
Ron laughed, "Yeah, I can't think of anyone who liked to read as much as you do."
The group laughed except for Draco. He seemed to have choked up. Hermione put her arm around him, "Draco? Are you okay?"
"M-My s-s-sister loved to read. Especially muggle plays. She was big on literature. I remember her telling me she wanted to be Juliet in an upcoming play." Draco sighed.
The group was silent. Hermione didn't know what to say. Draco was very sensitive about the topic of Jewel. He even lost his voice for a time since he was so upset about her murder. No one was quite sure how his voice returned so suddenly. Maybe it was because they were able to escape. But no one was quite sure.
Hermione put her arm around Draco and pulled him close to her. "It's okay." Draco said, smiling at her.
Fleur's blue eyes filled up with tears, "Oh! Moi iz very sorry about Jewel. I 'ope she iz in a better place. I am so sorry."
"It's okay." Draco whispered again.
Fleur wiped the tears from her eyes, and sighed, "Lets go."
The group then followed Fleur into the large castle. She slowly opened the door, and Hermione, Draco, Pansy, Ron, Ginny, and Harry into the great castle of Beauxbatons for the first time.
