Fleur: Dragon

A dragon? How was she expected to get past a dragon?

Fleur would have voiced her concerns, but Madame Maxime would hear none of it. "Vous devez représenter notre école avec fierté."

And of course, she couldn't share this with anyone else. Madame was clear on that as well. But even if the other girls didn't notice (for they were all too busy ogling the Durmstrang and Hogwarts boys), Gabrielle did and yet Fleur could not explain what troubled her so.

In despair, Fleur threw down the book and knelt – in the middle of the library -- and prayed for salvation.


A/N: Nearly went with Charlie on this one, but I thought it'd be too obvious. The French above translates to 'You must represent our school with pride.' I used an online translator, but if you think I have it wrong please let me know, and how to fix it…

Thanks again to all my reviewers – next chapter is Peter Pettigrew.
