A/N:
Zicou – Thanks for your review, and I did notice that shortly after I published the first chapter, but like how Fleur got a job at Gringott's to improve her English, I just decided that the same principle applies well here, but I probably should have clarified that. However, if it is harder for you to read, I'd be more than happy to change that. And to be completely honest, I am not sure if Gabrielle CAN speak English… but that's not going to stop me!
Karl Skywalker – Ah, I see that now, and I have a pretty good plan one how I am going to work out the whole love Triangle. What is funny is this, I was like you, I loved the Harry/Ginny pairing, until I re-read the 7th book for the third time, and I just started to LOATHE the pairing, not the individuals, just the pairing, and I really don't know why :/.
Slytherin66 – I'm glad that you like the moments between the two girls, I have been trying to make that a big part of the story since I think there are not enough Fleur and Gabrielle bonding stories.
1 Month Later
Gabrielle walked with her sister towards the enormous castle, with the sun peeking over the tops of the many trees of the Forbidden Forest behind her, its golden light making the castle seem to glow. It was times like this that Gabrielle thought that Hogwarts was even prettier than Beauxbatons, of course she would never say this out loud to her fellow classmates who were adamant that no school could be prettier than Beauxbatons. Her mind began to drift as she thought of a romantic walk along the lake shore, the great castle looming over them, and the sunlight dancing on the waves. She would love to share the moment with Harry who she had seen very little of recently, but she didn't worry about it because Harry has been a lot nicer than he used to be. Even Hermione was starting to warm up to her, but Ron seemed to be oblivious to her. He was scary.
"Fleur! There you are!" Said a powerful voice in French. Gabrielle turned around to see the imposing figure of Madame Maxime hurrying towards them, she was quite a ways away, but she sounded as if she were right behind them.
"Fleur, we need to discuss the next task, I have just found out some crucial information," Madame Maxime said, finally catching up with thetwo girls and then she added, "Oh, and Gabrielle, Headmaster Dumbledore would like a word with you, he told me he would be waiting for you in the Entrance Hall."
"Oh, sure" Fleur responded sadly, she turned towards Gabrielle and said, "Goodbye Gabrielle, see you later."
Gabrielle watched Fleur leave, her entire body numb, why did Dumbledore want her? She slowly began to walk towards the castle, dreading every footstep. She did something wrong, she was going to get banned from the campus forever, 'but where can I go?' She thought to herself. She couldn't stay on campus, so her parents would have to come to Hogsmeade to pick her up… They would kill her. Her trembling hand took hold of the door to the castle, and she opened it, and saw Dumbledore pacing the hall, he turned at the sound and said, "Ah! Miss Delacour!" and noting her look, he added, "Don't worry you aren't in any trouble."
Gabrielle let out an audible sigh of relief and gave Dumbledore a small smile, he chuckled and said, "Walk with me to my office, we have a few things to discuss."
Dumbledore began to talk to Gabrielle animatedly about lemon drops, a muggle candy, until they approached a stone gargoyle. "One moment Miss Delacour," he said, turning towards the gargoyle and then saying in a strong voice, "Flibberwigg."
Gabrielle giggled at the password, as the gargoyle jumped back and revealed a spiral staircase.
"But Dumbledore," Gabrielle said, "I don't like lemons, don't they have any other flavors?"
Dumbledore sighed and led her up the stairs, "I asked them through muggle post whether they would or not just the other day, I have not yet received their response, but I will be sure to inform you once I do."
"Ok!" Gabrielle said smiling cheerfully at him as she was led into his office. It was very big, far more impressive than the Beauxbatons Headmasters office, however, that may just be because of Dumbledore's interesting taste in design. Delicate silver instruments placed all around the circular room, many floating aimlessly through the air, and a great red bird sitting happily on a stand.
"Have a seat if you please," Dumbledore said, beckoning to the chair in front of his desk. Gabrielle sat down and once she was down the bird flew over to her and landed on her shoulder.
Dumbledore gave her a warm smile, "I see Fawkes like you, I must say, I am not surprised. You being part Veela gives you a far better understanding to our avian friends than most humans. However, that is not why I called you here, you see, you have already started your term at Beauxbatons, but this tournament has interfered greatly. Madame Maxime has asked me to find a tutor for you so you don't get too far behind, it can't be your sister due to her competing in the tournament, and the other students at your school are having enough trouble on their own keeping up with their schoolwork."
Dumbledore picked up a piece of parchment on his table and handed it to her, "This is a list of students that I have found to be good, hard-working students, and that have agreed to help you."
Gabrielle took the list and without even looking at it asked, "Harry Potter?"
Dumbledore chuckled, his blue eyes twinkling, "I thought you might say that. I am afraid not, he, like your sister, is quite caught up in the tournament, and-"
Dumbledore was interrupted by a knock on the door, "Come in," Dumbledore said, the door pulled back to reveal Harry. He surveyed the room and when he saw who else was in it, his gaze quickly flickered to Dumbledore his cheeks getting slightly rosy, and he stood there shuffling awkwardly. 'Aww, I make him feel awkward,' she thought happily. "Bonjour Harry!" Gabrielle said beaming at him, "I was just asking Dumbledore if you could be my tutor!"
Dumbledore smiled, "And like I said Miss Delacour. He is busy with the tournament."
"No, it's no problem," Harry said, "I can do it."
"What about your classwork?"
"Hermion- erm, I-I can find away" Harry said. Dumbledore smiled at him and responded, "Very well Mr. Potter."
Dumbledore pulled a large stack of books out from under his desk, and he put them on the table. "These are all of the textbooks of the courses she is taking. All of them you have taken before, so you should be able to understand them. I will go ahead and have Dobby take them to the common room. Here is the syllabus, Maxime will administer the tests to Gabrielle, and her next one is fairly soon"
He looked at the two of them and continued, "You can either take a break at the Great Hall or proceed up to the common room and work while the main student body is eating."
Harry scanned the syllabus and Gabrielle got up and stood behind him, she read it over and said, "Wow Harry, it looks we are going to have to spend a LOT of time together."
She gave him a bright smile and grabbed his arm, "Let's go get started!"
Dumbledore watched the two leave his office, and he asked himself, Was that a good idea? He knew what they were both thinking, and of course, he trusted Harry, but Gabrielle… she had some plans running through her head.
