the inevitable and absolute slog of working throughout january was something that dudley still hadn't gotten used to – it was doubtful that he ever would, at least not without constant complaining. it's only a wednesday, after all, and he's managed to find himself in the leaky cauldron, as if that was appropriate at all. especially after the earnest conversation he'd had earlier in the week about dry january with a colleague and how it was so admirable watching others do it for charity. and how maybe he'd give it a go.

“ and to you. ” he'd settled in the only free seat, not expecting conversation, but happy enough to indulge. the coffee cup in gabrielle's hand is subtle enough ( and, likely unintentional ) peer pressure on his own beverage choices. dudley catches the attention of the bartender just as he's trying to wake his brain & figure out how to stop conversation petering off awkwardly. “ yeah, cup of coffee, please mate. i'd - ” he turns back to gabrielle for this, hands up to show that they're empty. “ - do a cheers, but you know. when i've got my cup? ”

Location : the leaky cauldron, diagon alley, London With : open

The new year had gotten off to a slow start, predictably. After the eventful - and, for Gabrielle, very fruitful - holiday period, everyone was fairly busy getting back into the swing of everyday life, which left her without much to do. She updated her website. She did an early spring cleaning . She mended all her clothes and cleaned her camera lenses. She was starting to get seriously tired of being cooped up inside, so she escaped to the leaky cauldron in search of a semi-decent coffee, and, hopefully, some good conversation. Maybe she'd even run into someone she knew - it wasn't like wizard London was that big anyways.

She did not succeed in running into anyone. Instead, she sat on the counter and stared at her cappuccino, until the next customer sat next to her and she decided she'd found her next victim.

" Happy new year, " she said, raising her cup to them.

What Fleur Misses the Most by @nena-96

One more fic made it to the fest! This time we're looking at the Delacour sisters, brought to us by Nena96!

Summary: After the Second Task, Fleur is fretting over her sister Gabrielle.

What's to love: A charming, sisterly moment between Fleur and Gabrielle - Fleur is entirely focused on her baby sister, and Gabrielle, being a little sister, teases her over it. This is a sweet missing moment, humanizing Fleur and giving us a slice of how big sisters and little sisters interact with each other.

Thank you Nena96!

Being back at the hospital after being unnerved with Susan’s condition, Wade felt on edge. Before, work served as a healthy distraction but anytime he needed someone to talk to the last few months, Susan was usually there minutes away. Now, she was resting at her apartment and he kept glancing at his watch to know when his shift ended to return to her. The last time she had been at the hospital hadn’t been for any of her shifts but instead, she became a patient herself. When she was cleared to go home, Wade wanted to make sure everything was good. The day felt different without her as if he was subconsciously forgetting something. 

He pushed the door open to one of the rooms, having moved onto patient after patient that day. This seemed like one of the last ones and judging by the clipboard, it wouldn’t be too difficult of a procedure. “Afternoon Miss...Delacour,” he read out, looking up to see the young and happy looking blonde. The only Delacour he knew was the one who competed in the tournament at the school. “Very well. What brings you in today?”

alicia could feel the adrenaline and the last drops of alcohol in her system wane away like sand through her fingertips. it wasn’t ideal to feel the beginnings of your monster hangover while still on a muddy pitch surrounding by cheering fans, but she wouldn’t have chosen to be anywhere else. unable to see whilst rubbing her temples, she stumbled, just a couple of steps, but enough to bump into someone. “sorry mate!” alicia chirped, hands coming up to steady herself. “oh – i know you! how do i know you?” potentionally RUDE, but she at least tried to say it in a charming way.

Winter Beauxbatons Ball|Fleur Delacour

Fleur Delacour Masterlist

Word Count: 510

Genre: Fluff

Pairing: Fleur Delacour x Fem!Reader

Summary: It’s time for the annual winter ball at Beauxbatons.

Warnings: Food, cold weather, crowds of people, dancing

Notes:

Reader is wearing a dress

Ngl this isn’t great

——————————————

|PICTURES DO NOT BELONG TO ME|

The entirety of Beauxbatons was filled with the winter spirit.

Ice sculpting and painting contests had been held and prizes were awarded.

Even though they didn’t get heavy snow at Beauxbatons the castle was still cold.

You had changed from your lighter uniform to the one best worn in the winter.

The ballroom was especially dazzling tonight. Series of piano and violin music was played with the occasional upbeat songs.

Your feet were already sore. You don’t know how long you had been dancing, just that you loved everything about it.

The way your feet moved subconsciously to the song, the feel of Fleur's warm body pressed against yours, the way both of your gowns flowed as the two of you spinned, her hand intertwined with yours, and the way neither of your eyes left each other.

You were giggling as Fleur dipped you part way, pulling you back up so the two of you were chest to chest, the two of you spinned in circles as the violins beat began to go faster.

Letting one of yours hands release from hers you spinned her, moving your hands to rest on her waist as hers rested over your shoulders.

Her smile was bright, she could’ve made the stars jealous. Her eyes gleamed with joy as she looked at you. You smiled brightly in return.

As the song ended the two of you bowed.

“This way.” She said

Fleur was determined to learn English and since you spoke English you had been helping her.

She grabbed your hand and the two of you ran out of the ballroom giggling. Not even noticing the amount of eyes that had been following the two of you.

“Fleur, it is cold.” You said when the breeze outside hit you

“I know, but I wanted to talk to you in private.” She smiled

“About what?” You smiled back

She pulled you in with both of her hands resting on yours cheeks. She kissed you, once, twice, three times. And she pulled back.

“You are coming with me and my family on holiday, correct?” She asked

You nodded, “Of course.”

Her smile only got brighter, “I am so delighted to finally be able to introduce you to the rest of my family, and share my favorite places in France with you! Gabrielle is most excited you will be coming! She likes you, you know.” One of the reasons she loved you was from seeing you interact with her little sister.

You giggled, “I take it you have this entire trip planned out.”

Fleur smirked, “It will be very memorable, I promise you.”

“I believe you.” You said

She pulled you in for another kiss. Only pulling back when cheers were heard from inside.

“Come.” She grabbed your hand

—————————

Your silver platters were filled with the most mouth-watering food. Your glasses filled with your drink of choice, was in your right hand. Your left was intertwined with Fleurs under the table as the two of you chatted and laughed with your friends. Excited for the holidays.

Imagine being Sirius Black child!

Chapter 1/??

Not my gif but I think it is the one that is closest to the scene that I describe at the end, even if it is a gif of the film before the one we are counting.

Summary: It's gonna be your fourth year at Beauxbatons and you just discovered that Sirius Black is your father and all that happened in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban so you go to Hogwarts to the Triwizard Tournament to met Harry but Draco isn't gonna make it easy for you.

Warnings: mmmm... None? I was thinking that if you think about (Y/N) as a girl you could have this kind of relationship with Draco like a marriage of convenience since we all know how Black and Malfoys are about this tradition but this really isn't a warning it would be an observation. Idk, enjoy it.

So there you went.

You, (Y/N) Black, in this magic carriage that was enchanted to be wide enough on the inside to keep all the selected Beauxbatons students plus two exceptions: you and Gabrielle Delacour.

You've never thought you were to get along with Fleur Delacour, one of the most beautiful and talented seniors, but Gabrielle was just so sweet and easy talker that the three of you just get along pretty easy.

Your bedroom was next to the Delacour sisters so obviously Gabrielle was on your bedroom most of the time and Fleur in consequence.

The company was so grateful during the trip because you were so nervous.

You, like another wizard kid, have grown up listening stories about him, Harry Potter, and the theories about how a baby could resist the killing curse and bring down the most powerful wizard known. Not only that, but your parents were best friends and the two of you should have grown up almost like siblings if those circumstances hadn't been the case. It was so crazy.

So you spend all the night looking at the views from your bedroom wondering what you should say the first time you met Harry. Was he aware about you? He was nervous too? Should you mention Sirius or Lupin? It was correct to hug him? Definitely no asking for his autograph, that would be embarrassing.

Although the carriage reached the castle grounds on the afternoon, no Beauxbatons students left the carriage until the headmistress gave the order, to attend dinner.

Alongside Gabrielle and Madame Maxime, you followed your companions as they displayed Beauxbatons characteristic grace and elegance. The poor Hogwarts students couldn't help but sigh for your classmates. And that's when you made eye contact with Harry Potter.

You expected to go unnoticed behind Madame Maxime but it was obvious that Harry was looking at you. So he did know of your existence, this only made you more nervous and you tripped over yourself as you followed your companions to the seats they had reserved at the Ravenclaw table. When you were still apologizing and avoiding making evident that you were looking at Harry, someone tapped you on the shoulder to get your attention. Turning around, you found the idiot who made family dinners your nightmares.

-It's going to be a really fun year, Black -Draco showed you his most arrogant smile.

-Fuck off, Malfoy -you turned around to sit properly.

The entrance of the Durmstrang students distracted Draco and prevented you from seeing how Harry frowned at your interaction with the boy. 

The rest of dinner passed and the news about of the Triwizard Tournament no was a surprise for you nor your companions. So you spend the dinner watching Harry and his friends complaining about this.

You didn't knew what you were expecting but he seemed just a normal boy. You didn't know whether to be disappointed or relieved by it.

It was time to leave the great hall. You should have followed your classmates to the carriage to go back to the dormitories and prepare for the next day but you stopped in the hallway and looked up the stairs that the Ravenclaw and Gryffindor students were climbing up. Harry had also stopped with his friends and after a few seconds it seemed that he was going to walk towards you and say something but again Malfoy stood in the middle with a stupid smile clearly feigning sympathy. 

-Let me accompany you to the carriage, (Y/N). 

He didn´t let you answer and forced you to walk towards the gardens, wrapping his arm around your shoulders as if you were close friends. You looked at his hand disapprovingly and then looked up the stairs where Harry was no longer. 

-Can I know what you want? -you asked irritated.

-I'm just being nice to my easy impressionable cousin who comes from abroad and gets lost because is easily distracted. 

-Spare me that shit, what are you planning? 

-Walburga asked me to take care of you while you are here and you know that with grandmother there is no discussion. 

-Grandma ordered you to keep me away from Harry Potter? 

Malfoy's smile disappeared and he made sure there were any students in the hallway watching the scene before approaching you intimidatingly. 

-You shouldn't forget who your family is and what your duty is as a pureblood that you are. 

At this point your blood was boiling with anger. Who he think he was to talk to you like that? You clenched your fists, wanting to tell him to get into his own business and that you knew how to choose your own companies when the teachers began to leave the dining room, among them Madame Maxime who noticed your clenched fists and approached you. 

-Everything's fine? -she asked in English with her marked French accent- Black? 

-All good, ma'am- Draco replied, smiling and putting his arm around you again- I was just catching up with my cousin.

-Oh cousines! Quelle belle coïncidence -she smiled speaking in French and looking at you meaningfully to make sure everything was okay.

You showed off the only thing that you had learned in your family, to act. You smiled charmingly, as if Grandma Walburga had just scold you and ordered you to come back to the living room to receive visitors, and you hugged Draco with the closest thing to affection you could fake before taking a few steps away.

-I don't have many opportunities to spend time with my cousin, I'm sorry Madame Maxime.

-It's alright, Black, but next time save your displays of affection for your free time. It's time to go back to your bedrooms.

Draco, recovered from the surprise of the hug, wished you good night and gave you a kiss on the forehead before leaving. You, walking with Madame Maxime towards the gardens where the carriage was parked, wanted to get to your room to wipe your forehead from that kiss. From now on, you both started speaking French.

-Should I arrange it with Dumbledore to match your classes with your cousin's?- Madame Maxime asked in French.

You immediately thought that would be torture, instead you displayed the manners that had been instilled in you and tried to hide your displeasure.

-I would not want to abuse the hospitality of our guests, Madame. Nor your generosity in allowing me to come to Hogwarts.

Madame Maxime's reaction was her elegant, hearty laugh before giving you a wise look. You thought you had managed to deceive her but she had read your thoughts without needing to know the art of legilimency.

-Black, I think this trip can be enriching for you.

You went to bed wondering when your relationship with Draco had gone awry like that. When you were little you were good friends and you played together, what happened?

Could that be when they started talking about arranged marriages and purity of blood? Could it be the weight of the expectations they placed on both? Could it be that the constant reminder that the family legacy depended on you two could finally break him?

You, for your part, decided at some point that all of this was not for you so you acted politely and endured family parties while preparing to be something else because there had to be something more for you out there than what your family expected of you.

You fell asleep remembering the laughing boy that Draco was before he became whatever he is now.

During the following week you tried several times to approach Harry to introduce yourself and talk to him but there were two problems;

- The main one was your nervousness and your insecurities. True, you had come all the way to Hogwarts for this -to meet Harry and have more chances to talk to Remus Lupine and finally meet your real father- but it was happening so fast. You had grown up with the idea that your father had died after redeeming himself for his actions when he was on Voldemort's side, and now it turns out that this person is not your father and that your real father is a fugitive from the law? You had to take a moment to process.

- The other problem had a name: Draco Malfoy. He walked you through Hogwarts like you were an exhibition prize and you couldn't breathe on your own. He used you both to attract the attention of girls -who knows why they find it attractive that you have relatives who live in another country- and to try to make a fool of others -Harry in particular. This boy had to lower his daily caffeine dose.

It had just finished Defense Against The Dark Arts class and you were sitting next to Malfoy, taking your time to pack your things while Draco and his friends rushed out of the mad professor's class. You hadn't liked the class at all and the teacher hadn't made a good impression on you so you headed down the stairs praying that Draco didn't realize you weren't after him. That's where you saw that Harry and his friends were talking to the boy who had had a worse time than anyone in Moody's class - Neville? - and the teacher passed you to approach the boy and invite him to have a cup of tea. You stepped aside to let them pass and your gaze met Harry's. The redhead next to him was going to start down the stairs but the girl who was with them stopped him and helped him realize what was happening.

You plucked up your courage and went down three steps to get closer to him.

-Hi Harry Potter -was the first thing you said and you realized right away that it was the stupidest thing to start a conversation- I mean, you're Harry Potter. It's not that I call myself Harry Potter and I don't know why I said that. It's obvious that you know who you are, who doesn't know who you are. You're Harry Potter...

If he hadn't interrupted you, you would have kept saying inconsistencies.

-I was beginning to think you wouldn't talk to me.

Your jaw dropped mid-sentence and watched him for a few seconds before smiling slightly.

-You already know who I am.

It was not a question.

-You are (Y/N) Black -Harry replied, grinning widely.

-Hi.

-Hi.

Facts About Gabe

I’m not sure how Gabe lines up with other Tenta’s physiology, so here’s some facts about him!

-He doesn’t have a Respawn chip. He was a human Spy in the early days of the gravel wars, before Respawn was implimented. -He’s a former partial amnesiac. The process that changed him robbed him of his memory after the change was complete. For a long time he had no idea if he was born as he was. His memories were only jogged after he died and was resurrected. Before his resurrection, he went by the name that was given to him- ‘Krake’. He will answer to this as it kind of stuck, but prefers his real name- Gabriel Reynard Delacour, or any shortening thereof. -Oh yeah, he died. His former mate went berserk and tore his throat out. He was revived by the Medic Aldous Haswell, and he still has scars on his throat where his fatal wound was. -His tentacles are cobalt, with a gradient into lavender undersides. They need to be kept wet- when out of water they form a slime coating to keep them hydrated, and after four hours they will start to dry out. They are also very sensitive, moreso when aroused. -His gills are on the side of his neck. They close up when he is above water to allow him to breathe air. -His eyes are an almost luminous, somewhat unsettling, but nonetheless beautiful shade of aqua. This is different from when he was human, when his eyes were an uncommon but not impossible shade of glasz blue. -His claws and teeth are very sharp. He has learned to be careful when interacting with others so he doesn’t hurt them by accident, but in combat they can make him a deadly foe indeed. -He is roughly 85 years old but the appearance of a man in his late 30′s-early 40′s. The process that changed him had the side effect of slowing his aging to a dead crawl. He has no illusions of immortality, but imagines that a natural death will not come to him anytime soon. -With all this time under his belt, he’s managed to master his instincts. Not to say they will never show themselves. but he is determined to be a civilized sea monster- he finds the rumors of his kind being man-eating rape machines absolutely distasteful. That said, he is prone to hibernation in cold months, and is even more amorous than usual in springtime. -Speaking of amorous, Gabe is absolutely addicted to love. He is a shameless flirt and will happily try to get in anyone’s pants. A pansexual polyamorous person, he will gladly share his love- physical and otherwise- to anyone who will accept it. That said he is also very firm on consent, and will cease his advances the moment his would be lover seems nervous or uncomfortable. He is also a master charmer- once serving him well in espionage, he now uses it to make people feel good about themselves. And maybe procure himself some treats. -That said, there was one person he would have given himself to solely, forsaking all others. His name was Davey Monroe, RED Sniper at the same time he was a human BLU Spy. His adoration for Davey was absolute, with Gabe seeing him as his true love, and he concocted many complex, romantic schemes for them to run away together. Unfortunately, the Medic who changed Gabe got wind of this, and suspecting what would happen, left a half-mutated Gabe on Davey’s camper doorstep. Once fully changed, in the throes of mindless hunger, Gabe ate him, but was overtaken with regret once he came to his senses. His sole retained memory. Gabe has kept his hat to remember him by, and has never gotten past his guilt and grief. He fully believes that, having devoured his soulmate, he is cursed to have any serious relationship he attempts end in heartache. He has not been proven wrong yet.

With as many healers helping out when they could, it was hard to match with the needs of some patients. It was then that they asked for the trainees’ help when they often wouldn’t let them do the more difficult challenges. Wade had been paired with Gabrielle for the day, which was different than Susan but it was a change nonetheless. There was still a lot to comb through but mostly he needed assistance with filing information and going through the list of spells they had on hand. He knew that Gabrielle had some family here but otherwise was new to the country and had put herself into her work. 

Wade thanked the patient for coming in today and left the room with Gabrille, pushing a tired hand through his hair. “Thank you for helping out today. I really appreciate it,” Wade assured, giving the woman a kind smile. “I’m sure this is more than you expected for your position, but I’ve heard the other healers say you’re doing a good job.”

“blimey if one more person asks me if i’m dressed as someone from slytherin, i’m going to have to start hexing people.” ginny said as she looked down at her costume. she’d found someone through instagram that made custom uniforms, having ordered a harpies one just for the joke of it one night with luna, and now that she was gone, any hope of matching gone as well, it was the only thing she could think of to wear tonight. “you’d think the giant harpies logo would tip someone off. but people see green and just assume.”

Heeeey!! What about Beauxbaton!Reader x Draco? Draco falls for her at first sight and does everything he can to get her attention but like reader is a Veela or Half-Veela and likes playing hard to get so Draco has to do all these cheesy things to get her to say yes to a date with him. And after the date Reader definitely falls for him.

So like... I took the idea and ran with it. I hope you like it!

You were quite introverted for a veela. You honestly hated being part veela because you could not tell if someone liked you for your personality or if it was because you were a veela. So you kept to yourself. It was a good way to avoid people. Then came that god damn competition. It was impossible to avoid other students when you were stuck with two other schools.

You hated this so much and you being unable to voice this discomfort to the other Beauxbaton girls was discomfiting too. You originally hailed from Manchester in England but your parents decided to send you to France for school. You didn't hate the situation, you actually liked school. You were good friends with many other students but you only had one true best friend. The closest friend you had was Fleur Delacour and that was because she too was half veela. She understood the anxiety, the doubts of other people and the introverted idea. Not many students really thought much of you besides that.

You stood in the front of the crowd, arms around Gabrielle. She and you were really good friends too, her being very intelligent for her young age. You hated the feeling of people staring at you. "Wave to someone." A girl said softly, looking at you. You lifted your hand and that's when your eyes found a silver pair. It was like a shock pierced through you. This boy was a complete stranger but my god was he gorgeous. He gave a small wave back and you looked down.

From that point on Draco was hooked. That's all it took. One simple wave and he was captivated by you. He noticed your looking down and talking to the blonde girl next to you while keeping your arms around a smaller girl. She looked up and said something to you and it made you smile. That smile. Oh my God he needed to know you. Draco didn't do anything with the first week you were there. He spent that time observing you. You knew Bulgarian and that was shown by you interacting with a few of the Durmstrang students. You mainly surrounded yourself around females though and Draco noticed that. The big thing he noticed was that you read. Religiously. You always were walking around with your face in a book.

Draco found himself sitting with you one morning, you unaware of his presence until you looked up. So a funny thing happened... When you looked up you fell out of your seat. You didn't expect someone to be at the table and you jumped when you saw him. He looked up and helped you up. "Are you alright?" He asked. "I'm okay, just didn't expect to see you." You breathed before seeing his eyes. You rose a brow, noticing the familiar silver. "It's you." You muttered. "Hmm?" Draco asked as you both sat down. "Oh... Uhm... One of the Beauxbaton girls noticed you and mentioned a boy with silver eyes..." You lied.

He nodded. "I'm Draco." He introduced. "I'm Y/n." You said. "Beautiful name for a beautiful girl." He flirted. The veela in you decided to flip on and you chuckled. "Mmm, I see you're flirting." You said with a smile. "Well you're smiling so that's a good sign." He chuckled. You rolled your eyes and he smiled. "So. Think there's a possibility of a date?" He asked. "You just met me." You said. "What is a date for but getting to know someone?" Draco asked. You shook your head with a laugh. "I don't date. Sorry." You said. "Why's that?" He asked. "I'm part veela Draco. A ton of people find themselves attracted to me. That Fleur." You said. "Fleur?" Draco asked. As if on cue, Gabrielle and Fleur sat down with you.

"qui est-ce?" Fleur asked. "Draco Malfoy, bonjour." He greeted. "tu parles français?" You asked. "juste un peu." He answered. Even in the presence of two other veela he didn't seem to focus on them. He was fixated on you. Fleur rose a brow. "That's Fleur." You said. She gave a small wave and he looked over. He didn't seem to fixate himself on her but still to you. Then again you were the girl with a higher percentage of Veela in her. You were half, she was a quarter. He shook his head and looked at you. "What even is a veela?" Draco asked. "Draco. We're in a library. There are books?" You said. "Right! Right. But your the best reference because you actually are one though." He said. You sighed. "A veela is a form of creature similar to a siren who can entrance men and make them fall in love with them. They have naturally high charisma. And if you have a small percentage of it in you, you can't exactly control whether or not people are attracted to you like a regular veela can. They can switch it off. We can't." You answered. Draco rose a brow. "So you're saying you have no choice if someone's attracted to you and you can't trust people actually like you for you but for the veela?" He pinpointed. "...Yes." you nodded. "Sounds lonely." He muttered. "It is." You sighed. "I want you to know though, I really am interested in you." He said, grabbing his books with a smirk. "Guess you'll have to prove it then." You sighed leaning back. He chuckled. "Then I will." He said.

Fleur rose a brow as he left. "de quoi s'agissait-il?" Fleur asked. "il m'a demandé de sortir." You sighed, opening your book. "que lui as-tu dis?" She asked. "No." You said simply. She looked at the door and then you. He paid Fleur no attention. Which wouldn't be alarming but most boys at least stared for three minutes or so even if she was a quarter veela. It happened all the time, that same argument for you. "I really like you, I promise it's real" and then they see Fleur and it's nothing. But Draco was the first boy you'd encountered that didn't have a reaction to Fleur.

You didn't see that however and thought nothing about the situation until you received flowers. Then you had coffee/tea and chocolate sent to you. Then you had cookies send to you. Then you received a leather watch. All with the same engraving of an 'M'. You knew exactly who was doing this too. Draco had this smile on his face you couldn't quite describe when you actually wore the watch. He shook his head with this smile and then went back to his notes. You didn't hate him. You definitely liked him but you were so terrified of the idea of him not liking you that you just seemed like you were playing hard to get.

The goblet of fire was the changing point of everything. Fleur was chosen, Harry Potter and Viktor Krum following suit. You watched the first trial, Gabrielle sitting with you. She'd lean over and ask you questions every now and again but over all you were just looking down the row at Draco who was talking to Blaise. He could feel someone looking at him and for a split moment he swore it was you. You were really good at pretending to focus though.

Well actually you really did start focusing when Fleur was thrown against a rock. "Oh no." You muttered watching her. She struggled to rise. You noticed her shoot you an anxious look. You leaned forward watching her. You saw the dragon gear up and your eyes widen. "COURIR FLEUR!" you screamed. She sprinted, grabbing the egg and sliding across the ground. You knew she hurt herself doing that after she limped back. You and Gabrielle got up, walking to the tent.

"Est-ce que ça va?" You asked softly as she winced. "écorché ma jambe" she muttered. You waved madame pomfrey over and she looked at her leg. "Ohh darling this is going to require disinfectant." Madame Pomfrey said. She ran off with Fleur and you sighed, looking at Gabrielle. "Is she going to be okay?" Gabrielle asked. You kneeled to her and smiled. "Fleur is strong. She'll be okay sweetie" You said softly. Draco walked in and rose a brow you turning around. "Draco?" You said confused. "Wanted to see if she was alright. Looked like a nasty fall she took... That and you looked worried." He said. "She skinned her knee but she'll be fine." You said clearing your throat. He smiled at the watch on your wrist. ".... It's waterproof by the way." Draco said. "What?" You asked. "The watch. It's waterproof." He said. You blushed and looked away, making him smile even more. "Did I just make you blush?" Draco asked. "No!" You lied. "He totally did." Gabrielle said. "Hey!" You gasped. Draco laughed and you looked away. "Oh come now, don't be embarrassed!" He said with a laugh. You picked up a book on the table and smacked his arm with it.

You didn't say much to him after that. You were mainly focused on helping Fleur with the rest of the trials. You kind of avoided him, y'know despite the fact that every other fucking week was a new surprise left for you. Flower after flower, chocolate after chocolate. He sent you a singing telegram once. You looked ready to chase the boy down the halls. Fleur was so confused as to why you kept rejecting him though. It was clear he liked you and you liked him.

"Y/n why don't you date him?" She asked. You poked your dinner. "Because I don't even go to this school. And he only likes me because I'm a veela." You muttered. Fleur decided to get to the bottom of this and she got up, sitting next to Draco. "Uh... Bonjour?" Draco said confused. "I can speak English." She said. "Oh. Y/n teach you?" He asked. "Yes." She nodded. She knew the veela in her was being charismatic right now considering Blaise was staring and Goyle was almost drooling. "Oh my." She gaped realizing what was going on. "Is something wrong?" Draco asked. ".... You're one of the few who are unable to feel anything for a veela." She gaped. "....What?" Draco asked. "If you really were like the rest of them you'd be freaking out right now... This is... You really like Y/n." Fleur muttered looking at you as you spoke to Gabrielle.

Draco smiled, looking at you with this puppy love expression. "...Yeah I do." He nodded. ".... I'll be back." She said getting up, walking over. She kneeled, putting a hand on your shoulder. "He can't be attracted to veela." She said to you. "What?" You asked. "I made sure my charisma was at full power, every other boy noticed. Not him." She said. You looked at him.

Well shit now there goes one excuse. And your other excuse was falling through too. You made the suggestion of a change in school and they thought it was a great idea with you being closer to home.

You groaned, smacking your head on the table in the library at the thought of all of this. "Problem?" Draco asked, him sitting across from you. "Yes." You grumbled. "And that is?" Draco asked, setting down his book and looking at you by resting his head on his arms, mimicking what you were doing. "You're driving me insane." You huffed. "Hmm?" He asked. "The gifts, the chocolates-- what the hell was with the singing telegram!?" You asked. "Weasley's suggestion. Advice I will never take again." He said. You leaned back, as did he. "You're absolutely ridiculous." You huffed. "Am I?" He asked. "Yes!" You groaned. "Tell me you're not interested. Tell me that and I'll stop." He said. "I can't." You sighed. "Why's that?" He asked. "Because..." You ran a hand over your face. "You are interested." He noted. "Yes!" You admitted. "So why won't you let me take you on a date again?" He asked.

"because this is all materialistic crap. Has it occurred to you to maybe do things through action or words rather than buying your way into it?" You asked. He rose a brow. "Is that what you want?" He asked. "Yes." You muttered. Truth be told this was just you setting up another excuse. "Alright. I'll find a way." He said getting up. "What?" You asked. "I'm already forming ideas. Do you like poetry?" He asked. "Uhm... Yes?" You said confused. "Noted. Can't wait to surprise you." He said leaving. Well crap.

So in came a new spew of things. The presents didn't stop but now they were accompanied by letters of poetry. You were reading the latest one on the docks with a ton of students watching the latest trial. Once you finished it, you put it in your jacket pocket, looking around for Gabrielle. "Fleur... Where's your sister?" You asked. "elle n'est pas avec toi?" She asked. "No." You answered. She frowned and looked into the lake. "Je pense que je sais ce que c'est." She muttered. You frowned but the sound went off for the champions to swim and she dove into the dark waters.

You didn't think much of this trial until Viktor Krum came up with Hermione and you realized what Fleur meant. "Oh my God." You breathed. Draco noticed the paleness of your face and he walked over. "Y/n, what's wrong?" He asked. "Gabrielle is down there." You breathed. "Fleur is down there too. I'm sure--" Fleur came up empty handed and you were freaking out. "les sirènes! Je ne pouvais pas le faire!" She told you frantically as Harry came up with Ron and Cedric with Cho.

You swallowed and Draco looked at Neville. "Do you have leftover gillyweed?" He asked. "...Yes?" Neville said confused. "Let me see it." Draco said. Neville handed him the rest and he shoved off his jacket, eating the gillyweed and jumping in. You ran to the edge, watching the dark waters. "WHAT THE HELL WAS HE THINKING!?" Pansy asked. "I don't know, maybe 'hey, children probably shouldn't be involved in this'." Blaise said sarcastically, giving Dumbledore a glare.

Minutes seemed like hours to you. Oh God what if they didn't make it in time!? Draco shot out of the water, Gabrielle in his grasp. "That water is fucking cold." He breathed, Mcgonagall rushing over with a towel. "You just jumped in without even thinking!" You said, wrapping him in the towel. "You were scared and I didn't want you to feel that way." He said simply. Water dripped down his face and you could see his breath. You swallowed hard keeping your hands on the edges of the towel. Draco slowly brought his hands to yours, you feeling the coolness of him.

Your anxiety just seemed to leave looking in those eyes. You deserved a fucking shot at love. You spent most of your free time alone because you were scared of false relationships. You yanked him forward, kissing him passionately. He smiled, cradling your face and pulling you closer. "It's about damn time." Pansy yawned. "He's eating her face dude." Blaise muttered. "Ew. Blaise, why do you speak? Why?" Pansy cringed. You rested your forehead on Draco's, smiling at him. "Don't scare me like that again you idiot." You breathed. "If it means you'll do that then I'll jump in the lake--" "Oh bite your tongue."

WHO: Josie & Gabrielle ( @nouvelleslune​ ) WHERE: Hogwarts Grounds WHEN: Seventh Anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts

IT WAS EASY TO FORGET, AFTER BEING AWAY FOR SO LONG, JUST HOW BIG THE GROUNDS OF HER FORMER SCHOOL WERE. She’d always enjoyed being out on the grounds of Hogwarts – though, admittedly, Josie spent much of her free time as a student holed up in the LIBRARY or in her own dorm room, there were occasions where she would find herself roaming about outdoors, allowing the fresh air to work its own brand of MAGIC and calm whatever thoughts were whirring through her mind on that particular day. 

Even now, years after she’d bid Hogwarts goodbye and moved on ( long after the place that had once been a SANCTUARY had turned SOUR ), Jo had to admit that the grounds did still seem to have that same CALMING effect, the soft spring air flowing through her air as she strolled around – taking in the sights that had once been ROUTINE, and entirely unremarkable, but were now tinged with both nostalgia and an anxiety that she worked hard to suppress ( they’re not HERE anymore, she reminds herself, though the voice in her head reminding her that nobody knows WHERE they are is rather unhelpful ).

It is not uncommon for Josephine Diggory to become lost in her own THOUGHTS – she’d been prone to such lapses in consciousness ever since she was young, becoming lost in DAYDREAMS while the world buzzed on around her. She’s only snapped from her thoughts by a familiar head of PINK HAIR – Josie’s heart rate skyrocketing at the sight of GABRIELLE DELACOUR. Her heart had always seemed to do STRANGE THINGS wherever Gabrielle was concerned – but where her elevated pulse would have once been due to EXCITEMENT, it is now indicative of PANIC.

Things between her and Gabrielle hadn’t ended with a BANG, but rather a fizzle – Jo isn’t sure why Gabrielle started to pull away, but she’d never had the courage to question it, perhaps to leave their issues UNACKNOWLEDGED, or perhaps simply because she was AFRAID of the answer. She’d made a point of avoiding Gabrielle ever since ( as she did all of her ex-anythings ) and, to be frank, she’s entirely unprepared to see her again NOW. She’s too close now to simply turn and walk away – and her mouth is already AGAPE, so pretending not to have seen her is entirely out of the question, the best she can hope to do is muddle through this interaction with a SHRED of her dignity intact.

“Um... hi,” She says, hoping her cheeks aren’t quite as flush as they feel, “You’re, um... you’re here. That’s... um, that’s –” A pause, uncomfortably long by only a fraction of a second, “You look nice.”
