On the last day of term before Christmas, Harry sat in transfiguration when
a unfamiliar owl landed on his desk.
The whole class ignored it not even professor McGonagall looked up in shock. Ron and Hermione looked curiously at the owl and waited for him to get the letter.
Harry got the letter out of the owl's talons and saw it was wearing a mini red beret on its head.
The owl winked and waited patiently for a reply.
Harry saw his name written in fancy French looking writing.
He took off the red ribbon and unrolled it like a scroll.
It was written in blue ink and dotted with hearts.
It read:
Harry, Hey I know you are very surprised to hear from me. But I wondered if may be you would like to come and visit me in Paris? I have told all my friends how you saved my Gabrielle and they are eager to meet you very much. I would like to hear from you soon please consider it. Your friend Fleur Delacour
Harry smiled and began a reply.'
Fleur, I would be delighted to meet your friends and family. It is a problem of where I would stay and I'm not sure your mother would like me to stay with you. A very honoured to hear from you friend Harry Potter.
Harry folded the paper and handed it to the owl. The owl took off out the window and Harry put the letter in his bag before carrying on with this work.
The bell rang and the class packed up.
Harry walked out the door with Hermione and Ron on his heels.
"What was that?" asked Ron.
"It was a letter from Fleur Delacour in Paris," said Harry.
"What did that French show off want?" demanded Hermione.
"She was asking me to visit her in Paris. She said her friends want to meet me," said Harry.
"So why not go?" asked Hermione.
"Can I come too?" asked Ron eagerly.
"Ron it's rude to invite your self," exclaimed Hermione.
"I know. But you two know I love her." said Ron.
"Yeah but..." said Hermione not being able to come up with anything else to say.
"Now you two. The two of you can come with me if you want to." said Harry stopping the two.
"Oh great, thanks Harry!" said Ron looking happy.
"Sorry Harry, I can't. I made arrangements with Viktor. I'm going to visit him in Bulgaria." said Hermione happily.
"Oh goodie." muttered Ron.
"Well hope you have a good time." said Harry.
"How about we meet up in Paris in the last few days of the holidays?" asked Hermione.
"I guess." shrugged Harry.
The three stopped at the portrait of the fat lady and gave the password. They climbed through the portrait hole and saw most of the Gryffindors standing in the common room, with their trunks, saying their goodbyes.
Harry and Ron dodged passed the crowds to their dorm. Hermione followed before turning off towards the girl's dorm.
"Wonder if Fleur really wants me to meet her friends or if she just wants an excuse to see me," pondered Harry as he put his Transfiguration books into his trunk.
"I don't know. Maybe she just wants you to meet her friends like she says. Or maybe she's fallen for your charm." suggested Ron trying to lock his trunk that had been Charlie's.
"You really think that the snobby, sexy half Veela would actually have a crush on me?" asked Harry checking around his bed for any loose things he'd missed.
"Maybe. I just wish I had the charm you have. I mean I think Fleur is so gorgeous. Glamorous, sexy and stylish. I just wish she felt the same way I do." sighed Ron sitting on his trunk while he locked it.
"You never know. Let's go." said Harry picking up Hedwig's cage and his trunk.
Ron nodded and picked up Pig's cage and his battered trunk.
The two walked through the common room and walked out to meet up with Ginny, Fred, George, Lee and Hermione.
The seven then walked down the staircases till they reached the bottom floor. They walked out the main entrance and packed their trunks into the back of the first carriage waiting out side the castle.
The seven then climbed in and the carriage took off to Hogsmeade station.
