Chapter 85

Beauxbatons

&Spoken in French&

The students were looking all watching what was going on when the students went into the school for the opening get together. Harry noticed that there was one young lady that didn't look like she was old enough to even be in school yet, but was also one of the other students sisters, he could tell for they looked so much alike. He walked up to the young lady and introduced himself. "Good evening Madammoiselle, my name is Harry Potter-Weasley. I thought that I would come over and introduce myself to the youngest of the ones from Beauxbatons." He smiled at the young lady who obviously didn't understand much about what he was saying, because she wasn't old enough to cast the translation spell, and no one had bothered to cast it on her yet.

"Harry Potter?" The next thing that she said was in French. "&I am Gabrielle Delacour good sir, it is nice to meet you. I of course have heard of you before, and it is my pleasure to meet you.&" She smiled up at Harry, and even tho the only thing that he understood was his first name, he was glad that she had a smile on her face.

Harry waved Hermione over and asked. "You speak French don't you Mione?"

When she answered in the affirmative, he asked her to tell Gabrielle here that he was going to cast the translation spell on her, so that she could be able to speak to the other students.

"&Hi Gabrielle, I'm Hermione Granger, and my boyfriend here has asked me to let you know that he was going to cast the translation spell on you, so you can communicate with the other students with no problem.&" She smiled at the young lady with a genuine smile, and after Gabrielle nodded her head, she nodded to Harry to go ahead.

Harry waved his wand over Gabrielle and smiled at her as he said. "Hello Gabrielle, did it work?" He smiled as she nodded her head and gave Harry and Hermione a big hug. "It is good to meet new friends, and I hope that you will be friends with us. Are you the sister of one of the Beauxbatons, or maybe the daughter of the headmistress."

"Oh no monsieur, the headmistress doesn't have any children, I am the sister of the one Fluer Delacour. She is one of the last year students from the school, and was given special permission for me to come with her. She is hoping to be picked as the champion of her school, but there are so many others here that could also do good, it doesn't really matter. Would you all care to meet my sister and the headmistress?"

"That would be a pleasure Gabrielle. When can we meet them? It sounds like some of them are an interesting group. Maybe sometime during the time that you're here, we can introduce you to some of our magical creature friends. Let's go meet your sister and her headmistress now, while we have the chance during the meet and greet." Harry and Hermione were excited about doing this, and meeting new people.

When they were brought before the beautiful French girl, Harry had to take a double take, but then remembered who he was standing next to, and smiled. "Fluer, I want you to meet a couple of new friends of mine. This is Harry Potter-Weasley and his girlfriend Hermione Granger. Harry cast the translation spell on me, since no one seemed fit to remember that I was with you guys, and he was the first to come up to me to make friends. Harry, Hermione, this is my sister Fleur Delacour, last year at Beauxbatons." Gabrielle smiled at her two new friends, and was glad that they were secure enough in their relationship to be able to talk to her sister without any problems.

"It is a pleasure to meet you Monsieur Potter-Weasley and Madamemossiele Granger. I thank you for befriending my sister, and also for casting the spell on her. It isn't like we forgot to cast it on her one purpose, it's just that with the excitement of coming here, and meeting all the other students, that we forgot about it." She got a far away look in her eyes, then they came back into focus the next second. "Did she say Harry Potter-Weasley, are you the one who defeated the Dark Lord Voldemort?"

"Yes that was me. I finally defeated him for the last time in my second year, when he had used his spirit of his younger self to try to get his body back and open the Chamber of Secrets. I see that you don't see me as The-Boy-Who-Lived, but as an equal Madamemossielle Delacour, and I am happy for that. I am tired of people looking at me when we first meet, and looking directly at my scar, and asking to see it. Thank you, and I hope that the four of us could become friends while you are here at Hogwart's." He held out is hand, and when she took it to shake, he bent his head and kissed her knuckles instead. She blushed a bit, but was happy to have people around that knew manners along with being friendly. She could tell that these two were soul mates, and that they wouldn't go after her in anyother way than friendship. She smiled and went with them to introduce her to the Headmistress of her school.

When they walked up, she said. "Excuse me Madame Maxine, I have two new friends that wanted to meet you before we went back to the carriage tonight. This is Harry Potter-Weasley, and his girlfriendHermione Granger. Harry and Hermione, this is Madame Maxine, the Headmistress for Beauxbatons School."

"It is a pleasure to meet both of you. I have heard of you Harry, and it is great to meet you. Are either of you going to be trying for the tournament?" She was wondering, she couldn't quite put their age to their faces.

"No we aren't Madame, we are only fourth years, so we are to young to do so. I hope that sometime in the future that the schools will do this again when we are old enough to participate. It is also a pleaure to meet you, I have heard many good things about your School, and hope that one day when we are in France, we might be able to come by for a tour of your fine school." Hermione said this and smiled at the older witch.
