Harry Potter Veela's Embrace

Fred and George slapped Harry on the back. "Way to go man," Fred said. "If I had known they were this beautiful of prizes at the bottom of the lake I would have jumped in, Champion or not." He raised his hands in an innocent gesture when Harry smile disappeared. "I'm kidding Harry. We've heard some of the rumors and we know it wasn't fun for you. We're just glad you're okay," Then turning to Gabrielle, "And you too Miss Delacour."

"Gabrielle please. Nice to meet you…"

"I'm Fred or am I George?"

"They are the school pranksters but you couldn't ask for better friends," Harry though to Gabrielle.

"Nope..that's right I'm Gred and this is Forge," Fred said with a wink, "at least for tonight."

Gabrielle found herself smiling at their antics.

"Now if you need anything, just ask. In fact we have some great creams over here just begging to be eaten."

"Don't take ANY food from them," Harry thought. "They gave my cousin a candy that made his tongue several feet long. Now Dudley deserved it, but they are creative."

"No thank you," Gabrielle said.

Fred looked at Harry, "You warned her didn't you?"

"She's my girlfriend, of course I warned her," Harry replied then turning to Ron, "Do you have my homework mate?"

"I put it in your book bag," Ron said. "Have you seen Hermione? She's been gone all week."

"Yeah she..uh had her parents here today and I helped her show them around. We are going to study together tonight since we are both so far behind."

"Where are you staying?" Ron asked. "I stopped by the hospital wing, but you weren't in one of the beds."

"I just needed rest so they put me in the rooms off the hospital wing they have for people who are visiting."

"Oh, I didn't know. I should have asked Madam Pomfrey," Ron said. "Well I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Of course mate," Harry replied.

Ron turned to Gabrielle, "I'm Ron...Ron Weasley, Harry's best mate."

"Nice to meet you Ron," Gabrielle said as she smiled at Ron.

"Uh..yeah. Uh...nice to meet you as well."

Harry turned to Ginny. "Gin could you grab Hermione's book bag? She says it's on her bed. Also Gabrielle is going to be taking classes here at Hogwarts for the rest of the year. She's going to be in your classes. Can you tell her what homework you have for the next few days?"

Ginny was staring at Gabrielle now. "Why are you taking classes here?"

Gabrielle could feel the dislike radiating from Ginny. "Arry, Ginny doesn't like me. I think she still likes you," She looked at Ginny and replied. "Personal reasons concerning my transformation. Besides my sister is a seventh year and zis gives me a chance to spend time wiz 'er. Not to mention wiz 'Arry," She emphasized the last bit by kissing Harry on the lips. "Isn't 'e ze bravest man? 'E saved mine and my sister's lives."

"Mean aren't you?" Harry asked.

"Just making sure she knows you are unavailable," Gabrielle answered.

"I..yeah Harry's very brave," Ginny replied. "He saved my life two years ago," Her eyes glanced to Harry's. "I'll get Hermione's book bag," She turned and went up the steps, and a few minutes later she returned with the bag and a parchment. Harry could see she was fighting back tears. "Here," Ginny said. "I wrote down my assignments for this entire week."

"Thank you Ginny," Gabrielle said.

"Well we better get going," Harry said. "I have a lot of homework to do."

"Arry can you go ahead, I'll catch up," Gabrielle said. "I want to 'ave a quick word with Ginny."

"Don't hurt her. She's always been nice to me," Harry replied.

"Zat's why I want to talk to 'er. I need a friend in my class. I hope it can be 'er."

"Okay," Harry replied then to Ginny and everyone else. "I'll see everyone tomorrow. Party on Friday."

Once Harry was out of the portrait hole, Gabrielle turned to Ginny. "Ginny, 'Arry 'as told me a lot about you. But I know you like 'im."

Ginny inhaled sharply. "No..." she started but then let out the breath as her shoulders slumped. "How?"

"I'm part Veela Ginny. I can tell," Gabrielle said. "You know 'Arry thinks of you as 'is little sister."

Ginny looked down. "I know, but…"

"E's my bon..boyfriend Ginny," Gabrielle said. " 'E's your friend. Can we be friends? Or will zat be too much of a problem for you."

"You've only known Harry for two weeks," Ginny said. "Is it really something serious between you two?"

"I think so," Gabrielle said looking at the red-headed witch in front of her. "I love 'im Ginny."

Ginny stared at the silvery blonde girl in front of her. "Are you sure?"

"Yes I am," Gabrielle replied. "Again it comes from being Veela. I also know 'Arry wouldn't want to lose your friendship. So can we be friends?"

"Honestly?" Ginny replied. "Let me sleep on it. It's been a shock to see Harry with you."

"Of course," Gabrielle smiled. "Maybe we'll see each ozzer tomorrow. If not zen in class on Monday?" She then turned and walked out of the Gryffindor common room.

"That was nice of you," Harry said as he fell in step beside his girlfriend and put his arm around her.

Listening in?"

"Of course. Ginny has a temper," Harry replied. "She's also famous for her bat-bogey hex."

"What's a bat bogey 'ex?" Gabrielle asked.

"Her brothers say having bats coming out of your nose and attacking you isn't a lot of fun," Harry explained.

"Gross. You English people can be disgusting," Gabrielle exclaimed.

"Harry, food has been delivered and Sirius asked me to tell you he is all comfy and not to worry about him," Hermione's mental voice said. "We'll be back in the room in fifteen or twenty minutes."

"Okay love," Harry replied. "See you then."

When they were all back in the common room of their temporary quarters, they got started on the homework that was due on Monday. Harry really wanted to get into Hogsmeade the next day but he knew he was only going to have time to do that if he got a significant portion of his homework done in the next few hours.
