"Of course." Julian said while Apoline and Fleur nodded in agreement.
"The man said that the book he stole had gone missing." Julian said. "So it was the Malfoys then?"
"Yeah, I found the book prominently displayed in their living room." Harry said. "These Malfoys are annoying... the ones in Britain have the tendency to piss me off."
"They are... unbearable here too." Julian said as he opened a bottle of whiskey. He poured two glasses and gave one to his wife. "The Delacours are far older and richer than they are. They have been plotting the downfall of this family ever since I married my lovely wife, but I have never regretted that decision."
"Catch" Harry said as he fished an old worn book with its leather cover decorated with gold and silver thread.
The Delacour patriarch snatched it out of the air and inspected the book for any damage. "Now that I have it in my hands... It seems so worthless compared to the safety and well being of my family." Julian said as he placed the book onto its podium.
"You have delivered as you have finished as agreed upon." Julian Delacour said. "The Gold will be delivered as promised."
"And the Chocolate?" Harry asked.
"How could we not forget that?" Apoline laughed. "I will make sure that you have the best chocolates I can find... you deserve it at the very least."
"Thanks." Harry said as he straightened up. He was already feeling loads better except for a slight pain in his right leg. He summoned his Invisibility cloak from the floor and tucked it under his arm. "I better head back."
"Wait... Harry... I still have not discussed payment for saving my family's life." Julian said. He looked at his wife and Apoline nodded after a moment, thinking along the same lines as her husband. "Fleur will soon be looking for a betrothed... do you want to be betrothed with her?"
Harry narrowed his eyes as he looked at the girl who looked surprised at her father's statement. "What does betrothed mean? I get to tease her?"
"In a manner of speaking..." Julian said as Apoline bit her lip to stop from giggling. Harry Potter was a fine choice for her eldest,
and after the courage he showed today, she was sure she could not find a better suitor. She didn't like taking advantage of the boy, but she knew it would be best for him in the long run. And like all mothers, she wanted the best for her daughter.
"You can tease Fleur all you want, and visit her." Julian finished. He held out a hand to shake. "Do you want to be my daughter's betrothed Harry Potter?"
The young thief thought for a moment before accepting the deal. It looked like Julian wanted him to accept the deal badly. "I'll accept, on one condition..."
"What is it?" Julian Delacour asked.
"Can you teach me how to duel like that? The old man's a good teacher and all... but he never taught me how to fight like that." Harry said.
"Done." Julian said, sounding pleased as he clasped the hand of Harry Potter. Their hands glowed blue for a moment, signifying a magical contract between two parties have been agreed upon.
"I better get back." Harry said. He stared at the older girl and grinned at her. "See you Later Fleur!"
"See you later Harry." Fleur replied shyly, to the young boy's surprise.
"There you are." Tonks said as her pet walked in through the cat flap she installed at the back door. "I've been looking everywhere for you the whole day! I just visit the mall for an hour and when I come back you suddenly vanish!"
"Meow!"
"Don't make those cute big and green eyes on me!" Tonks said as she crossed her arms. She stared at her pet for a few minutes until she finally gave in. She could never say no to that cuteness.
"You're limping." Tonks said and Kit froze in his spot. He hoped that his 'owner' didn't notice this but it seemed Tonks was very observant for an overactive and sometimes clumsy girl.
"What happened? Did those mean dogs or older cats bully you?" Tonks asked as she scooped her pet from the floor. "Don't worry Kit... If I see those dogs again I'll transfigure them into mice for you to play with."
Tonks stared out the window and noticed several police cars were out on their street and she was puzzled at their appearance. Their neighborhood was usually peaceful and virtually no crime happened in their street.
"Mum! Why are there so many Bobbies at the street?" Tonks asked.
"There's a robber that struck our neighborhood dear." Andromeda replied. "Jewelries and... rare toys went missing. The police are puzzled with it since there are no signs of break in."
"Are we fine mum?" Tonks asked as she hugged her pet closer to her bosom. "Does the robber steal pets too?"
Andromeda laughed. "Kit is quite safe, since there are no reported missing pets. We're quite safe Dora, since we have wards to alert us if there are intruders."
"That's good to hear." Tonks said. "C'mon Kit! Let's give you a nice bath!"
"... and Julian taught me about a shortcut in casting the blasting curse." The young boy said as he sat on the old man's desk, swinging his legs while the old man stood in front of a shelf looking a book.
"Hmm that's nice Harry." Nicholas said absently.
"Ahh there it is..." The Master Alchemist smiled when he finally spotted an old tome and pulled it out of the shelf."Did you bring a souvenir back from France?"
"I was planning to sell them... but take your pick." Harry started rummaging his bag and pulled out various jewelries, wallets and money bags.
Nicholas palmed his face in frustration once more, a habit he had developed ever since their young guest decided that the Flamel home was his headquarters and warehouse for stolen goods. Already his side table filled with plaques and trophies stood beside various action figures and robot in dramatic poses.
He headed towards his desk and inspected the loot, and he actually found a few nice looking watches.
