The Power He Knows Not

Chapter 2: The Guest

Fleur Delacour was nervous, she could not remember if she had ever been more nervous in fact. She steeled herself and walked up to the front door of # 4 Pivet drive. Multiple people had warned her that these muggles were particularly nasty, and that even though she had taken extensive muggle relations courses she would not like them. She knocked on the door and heard grumbling as the door was opened. She gave abrilliant smile to the large walrus looking man who was standing there with his mouth open and said "Hello may I speak with Harry potter please?" with just a hint of a French accent. Vernon woke up from his daze and without taking his eyes of the gorgeous girl he yelled "BOY GET DOWN HERE!" Fleur noticed how he didn't use Harry's name, and when the muggle got no response he said" he must be asleep, Mabye you could come back later" He seemed to be about to close the door when Fleur smiled again and said "actually if you would please let me go up to his room I am sure he wouldn't mind, you see I am supposed to stay here and watch him to make sure he doesn't get into any trouble" The thought of this beautiful young woman coming into his house was too much for Vernon to handle and all he could get out was "upstairs... second door... right..." and with that Fleur was up the stairs and knocking on the door of the smallest bedroom.

When Fleur got no answer she opened the door and saw Harry sleeping on a large cushiony bed, she supposed Remus conjured it, as all the stories she had heard about Harry told her he had nothing nice living at the Dursley's.She took the chair by the desk after enlarging her trunk and putting it on the other bed. She justsat there and watched Harry, so much different than when he was awake, when he was awake he was always in so much pain, and had lost so much, now he was at peace with the world, or so she thought. Suddenly he started to yell in his sleep and she looked at him, alarmed, she didn't know what to do so she did the most first thing she thought of, she lay down beside him and hugged him, she wanted to stop his pain so much! He quieted down and started sleeping peacefully again, his arm came up and hugged her middle and she turned so her back was to him. She felt safe and she slowly fell asleep, content, in his arms.

"Sirius!" he yelled as his godfather passed through the veil, him unable to do anything but watch. It was sort of ironic really, Sirius had always told him he had quick reflexes, but he couldn't move and he felt like he had been hit with an impedimenta jinx. Suddenly everything dissolved into mist and he regained consciousness. The first thing he noticed as he woke upwas a weight on the bed next to himand his arm around the waist of the person in front of him. He didn't move, not wanting to wake this person, and was thinking about what to do whenthey moved and brushed his arm off.they called out his name asthey got up and Harry could tell it was a female. The unknown visitor moved aroundand he heard a click and he assumed she turned a light on, so it must be nighttime still. She sat back downon the bed and called his name again. He recognized the voice. Fleur.

Harry jumped up suddenly, surprising her, and started pacing unable to form any coherent thoughts except for one. Fleur Delacour was on his bed, and then she said "Harry it is good to see you again" And he looked in her direction horror on his face, eyes still closed.She wondered what was wrong, and suddenly it hit her, he was a blind 16-year-old teenager, Hormones raging,with an 19-year-old half-veela in his bed, acting as if she was meeting him casually. She started laughing and, seeing the hurt look upon Harry's face her heart broke. " I am not laughing ay you Harry I am laughing at myself" she explained softly.

Harry seemed to calm down a bit after this and asked her what she was doing in his bed, especially when she was engaged to Bill and she told him "I am not engaged to him anymore, he found somebody else and I realized I could not offer him what this other girl could, she was a werewolf you see. We broke it off, don't worry we are both fine with it, and as for the other question you were having a nightmare and so I decided to comfort you" She didn't mention her feelings towards him. Embarrassed, he said, " well thank you but I can deal with my nightmares but maybe you could put up I silencing charm on my bed,I wouldn't want to disturb you" she could tell he was holding something in and sheasked "nightmares? You mean you have had many?" "Yes, almost every night" he replied sadly. She felt sorry for him and decided a bit of good news was in order. "Harry I will be staying here to watch you. His face broke into a grin when he remembered there was someone to stay with him, and shifted to shock and his eyes opened as what she said registered. "You are the one that will be staying with me?"

Fleur was brought out of the daze she had slipped into looking into those emerald green eyes at his comment."Yes and I am more capable than mostso don't give me that look, I have taken several muggle relations and muggle studiescourses and I am the most qualified member of the order" "You mean you are in the order?" he asked incredulously. "Yes I was approached when Bill proposed and I have not been kicked out noteven thoughwe are not together anymore. When the question came up as to who could stay with you I volunteered, I am still gracious to you for rescuing my sister from the lake during the second task" he blushed madly at this point "I didn't like your uncle much but I met him only briefly, I haven't met any of you other relatives" "you don't want to, death eaters are less sadistic" he muttered under his breath but Fleurheard it and stared at him, hoping he didn't really mean it.

Harry slowly mad his way to the enchanted icebox and mumbled create after putting his hand on the side. A pizza slice and a bottle of butterbeer appeared, "you can have something too what do you want? Fleur told him she wanted lobster and he said "create" and a perfect cooked lobster appeared on a plate, he picked it up and made his way to her, he stopped a foot away and didn't move, she realized he was waiting for her to take it, she mentally slapped herself he was blind he cant cater to you. Hehad closed his eyes again, and hadn't opened them again.

Fleur wondered if they still glowed green. "Can I look at your eyes?" she asked him. He frowned slightly before opening his eyes and looking in her direction. She felt her breath catch in her throat and she made the tiniest of gasps as she gazed intothose emerald green orbs. Apparently he heard this, but how could he have? He would have to havesupernatural hearing, but he hadcertainly reacted to it for the moment she gasped he closed his eyes and moved his head from her direction. He went and sat on her bed, and ate his food, when he was done he just sat there, and listened to her finish hers. When she was done she looked at him again and decided she had to get him to open up to her. She went over and sat on the bed next to him and she saw him draw away slightly. So much pain and loneliness, he is afraid to get too close to anyone. She took her hand and put it on the side of her face and moved his head to face her. He was trembling and looked so vulnerable. "Please let me see your eyes. They are beautiful." She told him.He always did have nice eyes, but the fact he wasn't wearing glasses brought them out tremendously, they were now captivating.

The green depths of Harry's eyes swirled with untold magic and power, and his emotions were reflected in those eyes. It was as if they were windows to his very soul. If he kept them open girls would fall in love with those eyes. Of course that didn't work on her since she was already in love with him, but didn't mention that fact. After a few minutes of gazing into his eyes, she acted on impulse and leaned forward. She placed her lips upon his and he instantly stiffened, but she kept her hand upon his cheek and kept him from backing away, he relaxed after a few seconds and relaxed into his first real kiss with her.

Harry was confused. Fleur had said she wanted to look at his eyes, and now his eyes were open and she had a hand upon his cheek but she was silent, and had been for a couple of minutes now, suddenly he heard rustling and realized she was moving, wondering what she was doing he stiffened as he felt lips touch his. Soft lips. Very soft and warm lips, and he relaxed into the kill. Afew seconds into the kissFleur pulled back and he heard her breathing faster and heavier than she was before. He himself felt flushed. "Wow" escaped his lips and she laughed, a delicate happy sound. "My my it's not every day Harry Potter praises somebody's kissing. He smiled and replied, "its not every day Harry Potter is kissed by a beautiful girl" which made her blush. Harry, with his enhanced senses, could feel her face warming, from a few inches away and knew she was blushing. "It's not every day you get a half veela to blush either he said" which made he blush even more furiously. He reached out and touched her face,and leaned forwards and kissed her again, harder this time, and soon they were both leaning into the kiss. She moved her tongue against his lips and he knew exactly what she wanted. He opened his lips and her tongue invaded his mouth, he came and met the invasion with his own tongue, and soon they were in a heated make out session. Fleur pushed Harry down on the bed and straddled him, making her hips rub his, at whichpoint a lowmoan escaped him. After a bit more snogging, she lay down in front of him and they cuddled for a while before drifting off to sleep. The last thing she remembered was Harry joking, "If my eyes have this effect on all females I'll tape them open." She elbowed him in the ribs and he put his arms around her as she fell asleep, feeling safe and protected, and happy.
