Yeah! Here's the new chapter!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luna, Fleur and I were still relaxing at Three Broomsticks, and after talking for a while I noticed that the girls didn't seem so hostile towards each other anymore.
However, they also couldn't be called friends, and because of that I started thinking of a way to make the two of them understand each other or create a connection that at some point could lead to friendship.
And with that in mind, I suggested that we talk a little about ourselves to each other, because I knew that as soon as Fleur and Luna got to know each other better, they would start to like each other.
And now, Fleur was telling us about her life in France and about her experience as a student at Beauxbatons.
"France is a beautiful and magnificent place, and it's not because it's my country that I'm saying this, but when you're there everything seems more brilliant and magical" Fleur said smiling, and there was a bit of admiration and pride in your tone.
"And as for Beauxbatons school... Well, it's amazing there too. The place is exquisite and beautiful, the teachers are intelligent and competent, and the classes are very interesting" and even though Fleur was still smiling I could tell it wasn't such a real smile.
"I feel like that's not all you have to say about your school," I commented, looking at Fleur calmly, "And I also feel like this school isn't that good for you."
"Well, it's not that the school isn't good... I actually really like Beauxbatons" she started to say, before looking away, "The real problem is the students... They're not very friendly or kind to someone with Veela heritage"
"Oh yeah, I know what you mean" I said with a frown.
"Uh, are you a Veela?" Luna asked, looking at Fleur curiously.
And that question made Fleur look cautiously at Luna, "Yes, I am" Fleur nodded slowly.
And she was already preparing herself for the hostile looks full of bad feelings that she would receive from the little blonde girl, but that never came.
"Incredible!" Luna murmured, looking at Fleur with a twinkle in her eyes.
And that surprised Fleur, who wasn't expecting this reaction from Luna.
Usually when a girl discovered her heritage she would react negatively, showing disgust, contempt, jealousy or envy, and she was expecting a similar reaction from Luna, mainly because they were romantic rivals.
However, seeing that the peculiar girl did not show any negative reaction, but was actually looking at her in awe and excitement was a great shock for the Delacour heiress.
"Uh, thanks I guess" Fleur said, blushing slightly as she felt a little happy.
And I, who was watching this, smiled.
"Can you also throw fireballs? What do you eat? Where is your clan? Is it true that Veelas turn into birds 15 days after the full moon?" and Luna, as expected of her, started throwing a barrage of questions at Fleur.
"Well, I've never done that, but yes, I think I can throw fireballs too, and Veelas eat normal food just like all other human beings" Fleur began to respond.
"As for the Veela clans, they are spread throughout Europe and even in other parts of the world, but the clans are more concentrated in Bulgaria..." the blonde French girl had a thoughtful look, tapping a finger on her chin, "But there were some little clans in France too, and I remember my mother saying there was once a clan here in England."
"Oh" Luna was excited to hear this, already thinking about telling her father that the next exploration trip they were going to take should be to look for Veela clans in England.
Fleur then turned to look at Luna, and there was a strange look on her face, "And about your last question, no, we don't turn into birds 15 days after the full moon... In fact, we don't turn into birds at any point."
"Awn" and Luna made a disappointed pout, which made me snort.
But showing that nothing could stop her curious mind, Luna quickly put aside her disappointment and continued asking Fleur more and more questions.
And normally anyone would get irritated by this barrage of questions, but Fleur was actually answering all of Luna's questions calmly, and I could even tell that the French girl was excited too.
Probably having someone wanting to know more about your Veela heritage without having bad or hostile intentions was something new and good for Fleur, and for that reason she was so involved in her conversation with Luna.
'You know, I have a feeling Luna did that on purpose' I thought, looking at the Ravenclaw girl next to me with a soft smile.
And after a while I also got involved in the conversation between the two, and I finally started to feel that this trip was going well.
And as we talked I felt the magical signature of a very familiar trio approaching Three Broomsticks.
And I then looked at the pub door and saw the golden trio walk through it, and once inside the Three Broomsticks they began to look around as if looking for something.
Hermione's gaze then fell on me, and she nudged her two friends before gesturing towards me, and then to my surprise they started walking towards the table I was at.
"Hi" Harry said to us as he stopped next to our table, interrupting our conversation to Fleur's dissatisfaction and Luna's sadness, who still had several questions to ask.
"Hey" I greeted them, nodding at the three Gryffindors.
I then noticed that Ron was looking dazedly at Fleur, and I could already feel that she was getting uncomfortable being stared at by him.
"Ahem" I cleared my throat to get his attention, "You look a little sick Ronald" I said.
And the red-haired boy blinked, snapping out of his dazed state and looking at me, "Huh... What?" he asked confused.
"I said you look a little ill," I repeated, smiling calmly at him, "Maybe the cold weather isn't very good for you... So I suggest you go ask Madame Rosmerta for something warm to drink, It's on me."
"Err... But..." He started to say, but he noticed that my calm smile became a dangerous and threatening smile.
And showing that his brain worked for more than Quidditch and food, the red-haired boy nodded fearfully, before turning around and heading towards the counter where Madame Rosmerta was cleaning some glasses.
And as soon as he left I nodded satisfied, turning to Fleur
"Thank you" she thanked me with a small smile.
"No need to thank me" I smiled at her.
"Err, I'm sorry about Ron" Hermione started to say, making our attention turn to her, "He still can't control himself very well in your presence, but he's not doing it out of malice." she had an apologetic look in the face.
"Don't worry, I'm used to it" Fleur dismissed Hermione's apology.
And I could see Hermione start to open her mouth again, and knowing that this was a sensitive topic for Fleur and that it made her uncomfortable I decided to change the subject before Hermione could say anything.
"But then Harry," I started to say, making the Boy-Who-Lived look at me, "I noticed that you seemed to be looking for someone when you entered the pub, and then you came towards us, so I would be right in assuming that you were looking for one of us, right?"
"Oh yes, we were looking for you" he replied.
"I see" I nodded, "Well, I'm here. What do you need my help for?"
"Why do you think we need your help?" Hermione asked as she crossed her arms.
And in response to that I snorted, "I don't know, maybe it's because you only come to me when you need help?" I said sarcastically.
"That's not true" she defended herself.
"Oh yeah? So why were you three looking for me?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
And my question made Hermione stiffen, "Err, well... We were looking for you because... Uh... We..." she stuttered, knowing I had cornered her.
And after a few seconds of trying to think of an answer and stuttering she finally gave up, sighing before looking away.
"Maybe you're right" she mumbled under her breath, but I heard her perfectly.
"I'm always right" I smiled victoriously at her, which made her glare at me.
And Fleur's snort and Luna's little laugh just made her even angrier at me.
And Harry, no longer wanting to see his girlfriend being tormented by me, finally decided to say something.
"Actually we really came to ask you for help with something" he said, which made me look at him, "But I guess this could also be considered as me coming to remind you of a promise you made to me."
"A promise I made to you?" I repeated, tapping a finger against my chin as I searched my memories, "Are you by any chance talking about the promise I made to help you with the Tri-Wizard Tournament tasks?"
And upon hearing that the subject was about the Triwizard Tournament, Fleur's interest was piqued, making her look at the boy with a scar on his forehead curiously.
"Yes" he nodded.
"I see" I said, "In that case, what do you need my help with?" I looked at him curiously.
And upon hearing my question, Harry took a deep breath, "I want you to teach me and train me for the third task... Train and teach me in Charms, in Transfiguration, and even in Potions" he replied, looking at me with a serious look.
"And I want, above all, for you to train me in Duel"
End.
