After breakfast Harry and Fleur were getting ready to go to the 'Muggle' park. Fleur was over exited and was packing lunch.
"Fleur, is every thing ready to go?" Harry asked as he entered the kitchen at about quarter before lunchand was ready to go.
"Zat cousin of yours asked to go too. Vould zat be OK?" Fleur said. She was wearing a light yellow t-shirt that had strawberries on the front and yellow Capri pants.
"Nah! I want you all for myself and I wouldn't want that oaf lingering about giving me problems but I've owled Ron and Hermione along with the other Weasleys to join us, do you remember them? By the way, yellow looks nice on you. You make my heart jump at the very sight of you" Harry said.
"Zank you." Fleur said with a blush. "Ze Weasleys? Yes I remember them, I had on crush on the long haired one but now. he is not half the man you are Harry"
Harry smiled and then proceeded towards the living room to fend off any attempts of Dudley to join them in the park.
"Dudley, you are not coming with us and you will instead help Aunt Petunia with the house chores is that clear?" Harry yelled up stairs.
" Okay Harry! Whatever you say! " Dudley said in an almost monotone voice. He was clearly under Harry's spell believing that Harry has a control over his life and that he must follow all his orders under any condidtion. When Dudley came down stairs it looked like a pig in small clothes.
"Come on 'Arry! "
"Sure Fleur! Hey, let me carry that picnic basket okay?"
"Here you go!" Fleur was at a loss for words at the show of Harry's gentlemanliness towards her. Harry was clearly taking care of her.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
At the park Fleur was sitting on a bench and looking at Harry who was buying ice-cream for both of them at the other side of the park which was clearly small and yet it was very peaceful.
Various trees lined up the park with a small fountain at the center. All around them, various couples were also having a picnic. It was high noon at the moment but the shade of the tree was keeping them cool and the gentle breeze that was blowing was enough to take away the day's heat.
" Here baby, I've brought some ice cream for both of us" Harry said as she handed Fleur her ice cream.
"Oh zo I'm your baby right now eh? Wonder what I would call you then. Ah I'll call you honey! Because you are always sweet towards me!"
"That's very much fine with me. baby, some ice cream is dripping down from your lips here let me take that away." Harry was leaning in for a kiss when suddenly.
"Harry!" A voice yelled. Harry looked over to where the voice had come from and realized who the owner was. To his surprise and some slight disappointment because of the interruption it was-
"Ron!" Harry waved. "Look Fleur, my friend Ron's here."
"Zat boy who asked me to ze Yule Ball?" Fleur said.
"That's the one." Harry couldn't help but smile as he remembered the embarrassment that Ron received when he asked Fleur to the ball.
Soon Harry saw Ron running towards him. But to Harry's surprise there
was the whole Weasley family. As in the entire siblings was there for the picnic, even Ginny.
"Hi Harry! Sorry I didn't send you a birthday present! My family and I were in America. They said that you couldn't send anyone anything out of the country unless you were a U.S citizen. So we couldn't send you any-" Ron stopped in the middle of the sentence because he looked in Fleur's direction.
" Fleur? Fleur Delacour? What are you doing here?" he asked clearly in awe of the veela being with Harry
"'Arry invited me over." Fleur said slightly blushing.
"Hi Harry!" came a voice from behind Ron. It was Hermione.
"Hey Hermione, it's good to see you" Harry said.
"Did you know that they've made a newer version of 'Hogwarts a History'? It's called: 'Hogwarts a History, the Ways of Witchcraft' I bought the book and I'm almost finished." Hermione said.
"That's our Hermione alright! Always up to date when it come to reading books!" Ron added slightly teasing Hermione.
"Hi Harry. " Ginny said as she stepped in between Ron and Hermione. Although she greeted Harry, she can't even bear to look him squarely in the eyes.
"Hi Ginny," Harry answered politely.
"'Ello Ginny. How was your summer?" Fleur asked as she noticed the Weasley's little girl which reminded her of her own little sister, Gabrielle.
"Fleur! What are you doing here?!" Ginny asked in a confused voice.
"'Arry invited me over for the rest of the summer." Fleur replied.
Harry could see that Ginny's face showed a hint of jealousy. Fleur was also quick to notice this and then she looked at Ginny again and said: "Would it be alright if I talk to you in private?"
"I don't mind." Ginny said as she followed Fleur over to the swing set in the park.
As Fleur and Ginny walked over to the swing set, Ginny couldn't help it but think 'Why did Harry invite her over to his house over the summer and not Hermione. or even better. why not me?' Pangs of jealousy is consuming her netire being.
"Ginny?" Fleur said softly as she sat on a swing set.
"Yes?" Ginny replied almost in tears.
"About 'Arry and I. I saw zat your face had jealousy in it. Why? Is there something that you would like to tell me?" Fleur asked.
"It's not fair! Why you above all people? Why did Harry invited you over and not me? I've known him for three years now and then suddenly you come into the picture and he appears to be smitten by you? Why? How come you get to do stuff with Harry privately? He has always regarded me as Ron's little sister but I kept on hoping that he would notice me. Is it because you are rich? Is it because you are more beautiful? It is just so unfair!!! " Ginny was crying at the top of her lungs.
"It is hard, I know Ginny but hoping to become 'Arry's girlfriend won't help you get any of zose things zat you just listed unless you work really hard to achieve zose. Please try to understand" Fleur gave a sad smile.
There were tears in Ginny's eyes. Fleur and Harry appear to be one perfect couple. Ginny couldn't help but also notice the changes that consumed Harry now. He was several notches more handsome, his body is rapidly turning into what is called as drop dead gorgeous, and Fleur gets them all. And because of this, Ginny felt that she was just left in the dust. More tears escaped from the little Weasley.
"T-t-tell me one more thing Fleur, a-are you and Harry h-h-happy?" I burst into more tears.
"Yes, yes Ginny, we are very happy." Fleur gave Ginny a hug and said: You will find someone else who would love you the way that you really want someone to love you."
'Not if I can help it." Ginny was thinking of something else at the back of her mind. 'I will get Harry from you Fleur, I've loved him ever since I first laid my eyes on him and no. I deserve him more than you do!' But Ginny kept on smiling making Fleur believe that everything was okay.
"Let's go back Fleur, everybody might be waiting on us now. we wouldn't want to hold them from eating now do we?"
"Sure Ginny!" Fleur said happily unaware of the various plans that Ginny is forming at the back of her mind to steal Harry from her.
"There you are! We were getting worried. Harry said we should eat lunch soon because it's already quarter past one. I'm starving! I could probably eat a horse!" Ron said as he saw the two girls returning from their small chat.
"Hey Ron! Ginny! How come you didn't wait for Mum to finish packing lunch before coming here at Harry's invitation?" Fred and George suddenly appeared with both of them carrying huge lunch boxes.
"It's because Ginny here couldn't wait to see Harry so she pulled me and Ron out of the house and flooed here so that we could meet up with Harry." Hermione said in a as-a-matter-of-fact tone of voice.
"Harry! You lucky dog! How come you are with Fleur Delacour?" Fred put his arms around Harry as he told him this.
"Well guys, and girls, I'd like you all to formally welcome Fleur into the group because she is now my girlfriend isn't that right baby?" Harry wrapped his arms around Fleur's waist, which earned a scowl from Ginny, which nobody noticed because they were gaping at Harry and Fleur.
"Don't tease me like that honey!" Fleur was giggling and blushing but she managed to nod at Harry's question which earned a heart warming applause from everyone.
"Finally! Harry is now a man!" commented Ron.
" And what did you mean by that Ron? " asked Hermione
" What?" asked Ron
" Nothing." sighed Hermione 'clueless git!'
" Hey Harry! This calls for a celebration!" whooped George.
" And to show our appreciation from You-Know-What last year Harry, in coinciding with you having an excellent, excellent girlfriend. We have brought two barrels of butterbeer for everybody!" said Fred
"Thanks again Harry" said Fred and George
"It was nothing, but be sure to put it to good use and share it with Ron and Ginny okay?" winked Harry.
"Hey honey, have some butterbeer!" Fleur steeled Harry from Fred and George and gave him a mug of butterbeer.
"Only if my baby will drink with me." said Harry in a tone that made Fleur weak in the knees.
"Oh you." but before she could answer, Harry once again kissed her which earned cat calls and whistles from the group.
Everything appears to be fine but one little soul is revolting and formulating some scheme to win the one man she wants most. Harry.
