Feeling Hagrid tapping my shoulder I look back at him seeing he looks nervous "what's wrong?"
"Do we have to dance?" he ask nodding to the dance floor.
"I think it's you can if you want to"
"Think that pretty girl there would dance with me?" He ask nodding again.
"You mean the pretty tall lady?" I ask to be sure.
He nods nervously fidgeting with his robes "I'd reckon shes half Giant like me".
Grabbing his robes I tug till he faces me "Hagrid you need to remember many people are notaccepting of giants or half Giants, while you're proud of it she may not be and it could offendher if you mentioned or hinted that she is" I warn.
He nods frowning "right don't mention it" he says nodding.
"Hagrid tell me the rules of speaking with a lady or dancing with a lady"
"Don't say inappropriate things, be respectful, keep my hands to myself unless dancing thenonly touch the proper places so hands, and waist and no wondering hands"
Nodding I smile at him "good follow those rules but give your gift first" I say handing himthe gift.
He nods looking at Alouette taking the gift from me and handing it to her "I didn't reallyknow what was a good gift for a Lady, so I made that with Aquila she said it was a good gift Ihope you like it" he says nervously waiting.
Alouette smiles looking at the rose in a jar "the jars unbreakable and as long as you don'topen it the rose will always look like that, I thought about calling it a forever flower butAquila called it an enchanted rose and I thought it sounded prettier".
"Thank you monsieur Hagrid it is beautiful" she says smiling at him.
He nods blushing "I think I'll go ask that lady to dance" he says slowly moving away from us.
Chuckling I shake my head "he's still getting used to talking with females he does fine withus but others not so much".
A few hours later
Sitting at a table I smile watching Minnie debating with Myrtle over something she said,while Hagrid talks with the future Madame Maxime, and Pomona with Walburga's help talk with Apollonia.
"You care for her more then she knows"
Glancing at Alouette I see her smirking "you can resist the thralls of so many Veela becauseyour heart has been claimed it doesn't work on someone who's already in love".
"Or maybe I'm not attracted to females" I counter.
She hums standing up motioning me to follow getting up she links our arms leading us to theoutside garden "No I see how you look at Mademoiselle McGonagall, it's the same look my
mothers have for each other so how long?"
Chuckling I tilt my head back walking with her "since the moment I first seen her but Imistook it for respect and admiration".
"Why have you not told her?"
Sighing I shake my head "she grew up in the muggle world with a religious father, I knowenough to know that they see couples of the same gender as unacceptable and something that
needs fixed".
"So you hide your feelings from her?"
Nodding I stop picking up a pebble transfiguring it into a glass heart showing it to her "yesbecause I'd rather have her friendship then lose her from my life so I'll stand by her side aslong as she wants as her friend, I'll be there for her when some unworthy man breaks herheart, when she gets married I'll come to the wedding and watch as the one with my heartgives hers to another, I will live multiple lives always just out of reach of having her love foreven a moment of seeing her smile, I'd gladly do all this then lose her from my life no matterhow painful it is".
Alouette smiles taking the heart from my hand looking at it "to love someone that much mustbe painful how can you know it's true?"
"Because I've done it and I'm doing it again"
"What?"
"Do you believe in reincarnation?" I ask.
"Yes of course" she says frowning.
"Sometimes when your reincarnated you hold onto the memories of your past life right?"
She nods "yes and your reincarnation can send you forward or backwards there's no timeline" she says before looking at me shocked "you can?"
"Yes but the funny thing is my past life is further ahead of us, I am walking around with myold life in my head meeting people who I met already as much older people" I say softly.
"Really could you tell me anything?"
"Your friend became headmistress of Beauxbatons Academy"She smiles looking to the house "what of your mate?"
"She became a teacher at Hogwarts"
"That's amazing" she whispers looking at me.
Nodding I look down "I was friends with your granddaughter".
She freezes looking at me "my granddaughter?"
"She told my something about Veela one night about sharing memories, if I wanted to sharethem with you how easy can someone use Legilimens on you?"
"It is impossible unless we want to let you"
Nodding I look at her biting my lip "I want you to see them so you know what may happen".
"Are you sure? It can't be undone or stopped"
"Yes" I whisper.
She nods lifting her hand pressing it over my heart then presses our foreheads together as Ipress my hand over her heart "last chance to change your mind Mademoiselle".
"Do it" I whisper.
"Open your eyes Mademoiselle" she whispers slowly opening them I look into her eyesseeing her Veela eyes.
