The Delacour nodded, inwardly grinning in victory, "I am glad to hear that Harry. It is difficult for a Veela to find love rather than just lust in this world, but I see the potential in you for such a thing." With that he reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a folded piece of parchment, before presenting it to the boy-who-lived. "This agreement summarizes everything we have spoken about up until now. A simple bequeathment contract that turns both over to you."
"I…"
"Now I understand that you are nervous about such a thing, and that is perfectly okay. How about you take it back and read it over a few times hm? I would request, however, that this be kept between us. With the negative press surrounding you and my children I have no doubt that any outsiders will take this sort of thing poorly and the rumors will begin to fluctuate once more. I think we can both agree that is the last thing anyone involved wants."
Harry quickly nodded, stuttering out his agreement, "Y-yes I mean no I mean… I don't want them to go through that again sir."
"Good, then take a few days to think it over hm? The terms for payment are quite low for such a thing, more of a formality and show of their value to you than any substantial amount of gold. Shall we meet again in say… a few days?"
...
Fleur smiled happily as she grabbed her Wand and silently peeked out from her room. Luckily her parents went to bed early, even luckier was that they were heavy sleepers. She had been planning to see her new lover for several days now, and it just so happened that her mother and father had retired earlier than expected.
One silencing Charm later and she had easily made her way through the magically expanded carriage and to the front door, before pushing it open and…
"What are you doing?"
The French Witch froze, silently cursing her luck before turning back to see her younger sister standing behind her.
"Gabbie!" she quietly hissed, "It is late, go back to bed!"
"No."
" Now Gabbie!"
But the young girl was not to be deterred, "You were sneaking out, weren't you?"
"I… yes, now go to bed!"
"Were you going to see Harry?"
Fleur fought the urge to bang her head against a wall, why couldn't her sibling be like every other member of her family and just stay asleep ? "If it will make you go to sleep then yes I was now…"
"I want to come!"
"Shhh! The Champion bit out, her eyes falling on the door to her parents' room and breathing a sigh of relief when she heard no sounds from it. "You are not coming with me Gabbie, this is… an adult party and…"
"A par…" Fleur's hand covered her sister's mouth to stifle the excited, and rather loud, exclamation, allowing the older of the two to glare downwards.
"Yes, a… party, now go to bed . This isn't for children." That was the understatement of the century. She was hoping to spend the next several hours in bed with the boy, certainly not something she wanted her sister to know about.
"I'm not a child!" the younger whispered, before stomping her feet and pouting.
Rolling her eyes at the behavior, and thus proving her point, Fleur let out a sigh. "Listen Gabbie I don't have time to talk right now. I promise we can talk tomorrow and…"
"Take me with you! I want to see Harry too!"
" NO absolutely not!"
"Then I'll just go and wake up mama and…"
"I can stun you…"
"And then you can explain yourself tomorrow…"
Fleur growled, fighting the urge to strangle her little sister. " Fine but you cannot wear… that ."
The girl glanced down at her pajamas, "What's wrong with them? It is night time isn't it?"
"Gabbie, adults do not wear unicorn covered dresses outside, much less to parties! If you want to come you have to promise to do what I say and that includes wearing something proper ."
"So, I should wear something like you are?"
This time the older Delacour bit back her immediate affirmation. She herself was dressed a bit… revealing and seriously doubted her innocent little sister had anything even close to comparing, not that she should.
"No, just… how about a nice dress or skirt?"
"Oh… okay, give me a minute and if you leave without me I'll…"
"Just go!"
Gabrielle ran back to her room, giggling the entire time and earning another sigh from Fleur, she was going to have to explain why her sister was with her… and probably cancel her original plans as well. It was going to be a long night.
...
"Harry!" the younger individual practically sang out as she charged into the boy, wrapping herself around his midsection in a diving hug.
"Well hello there Gabrielle, I wasn't expecting you tonight."
Fleur bit her lower lip with worry. Would he be upset that the younger girl had come along? Would he be annoyed with the two of them that he was seemingly forced to deal with a child? Would he…
The boy-who-lived patted the younger girl's head, "I suppose we should get started hm? Perhaps a walk around the lake to show you there is nothing to fear from it?"
Gabbie hesitated for a moment, before nodding excitedly and grabbing his hand to lead him towards their destination. Fleur merely ran to catch up, mouthing a silent 'thank you' to the other teen when she did.
