"Ah, forgot I had any of those out. That’s what’s known as a wandbroom. Put your wand in there and it lets you cast spells using the whole broom as the wand. People are pretty iffy about it, some people really like it, others don’t. I like em, barely ever take my wand out of mine, but as an umbrella maker, I’m probably biased." He said, gesturing to his umbrella that he kept at his side. He pointed it up and gave out a small shower of sparks, before setting it back down.
"Huh... well, I guess I’ll buy one then. I’ve been needing an umbrella anyway." Harry said, reaching into his pocket and pulling out the five galleons the umbrella was priced at.
"You’re up Skippy." The man said, and the small creature removed itself from Luna’s loving hands to Harry’s side, where he jumped up and grabbed the coins from Harry’s hand and put them inside a pouch on his stomach. He then walked back over and laid down for Luna to keep petting him.
Harry couldn’t help but laugh at the display, and the group said their goodbyes to the man as they walked off. As they began walking through the tents again though, Harry saw a familiar face. Fleur Delacour was helping to set up a tent with her father, but stops when she sees them. "Harry! Eet iz good to see you." Fleur said, running over to him and giving him a kiss on either cheek. "Papa, Harry is here."
"Hello Mr. Potter. Enjoying the festivities so far?" Jean-Paul asked. Fleur’s father finished setting up the tent easily without his daughter’s help.
"Yes sir, and it’s good to see you again. Admittedly didn’t expect to see you all here, Fleur mentioned she wasn’t big on Quidditch." Harry said, somewhat dumbfounded by Fleur’s greeting. She hadn’t been like that before, he wondered what had brought that on.
"Yeah, Fleur never had much love for the sport. Gabrielle on the other hand is a fiend. She’s off with her cousin talking to the Bulgarian team." Jean-Paul said. "You’ve probably heard of their new seeker? Gabrielle’s infatuated with him."
"Figures, Viktor Krum has been the new infatuation with every young girl in Europe. Youngest player to ever play for a National Team, and in his first year rockets them all the way to the World Cup?" Susan said, looking over at Fleur. There was an emotion in her eyes Harry couldn’t quite place.
"Ah, do not speak to me of zis person. ’E infuriates me to no end." Fleur said, looking away.
"You know him, Fleur?" Harry asked, looking to his French friend.
"Oui, he was my rival in dueling. ’E abandoned it before ze last year, and I ’ave never ’ad my opportunity to defeat ’im." Fleur said, her accent coming on thicker as she got angrier. " ’is younger brother Ivan, has been a rival to you as well I believe. I am glad to have seen you defeat him."
"Oh, is Fleur one of your dueling friends?" Hermione asked.
"Oh! Sorry, got so caught up I forgot introductions. Hermione, Susan, Luna, this is Fleur Delacour. We met at my first dueling tournament, her father trained under one of Professor Flitwick’s good friends." Harry said, introducing them. "Fleur, this is Hermione, Susan, and Luna. They’re my girlfriends."
"More ’zan one Harry? I thought better of you." Fleur said, her tone showing her disappointment.
"In his defense, we did put him up to it." Susan said, coming to Harry’s aid. That lessened the blow a bit.
"Oh?" Fleur asked, curious. "Please, tell me more. ’Zis sounds like an interezting story."
"Well, there were five of us who all kind of fell for Harry, it’s really easy. We also knew that he would never be able to choose between us, he just doesn’t have it in him to make anyone sad like that. So since he was the last of his line, and therefore allowed to marry multiple partners, we figured we’d try all dating him. It’s been great so far. Harry’s really lovely." Susan said, grabbing onto Harry’s arm. Harry flushed a bit at the attention.
Conversation with Fleur flowed easily after that, as Harry often found it did. They danced from dueling tips, to hobbies outside of dueling, to Fleur learning about what the girls liked. ANy tension that Harry worried about the girls having with Fleur, especially after that display earlier, washed away quickly. Fleur was every bit as friendly and intelligent as his girlfriends were, and it showed in their conversations, they were truly equals and were able to bounce off of each other with their quick wits. Fleur also had a dry humor about her, something which Hermione also had, and the two seemed to bond over slightly. The group had chatted an hour or so away before the sun began to set, and the group needed to return to their respective tents.
After dropping Luna off with the Weasley’s, Harry, Hermione, and Susan returned to their tent for the night. After a quick dinner, and another awkward conversation about "appropriate affection levels", the group was off to bed. True to their word, Susan and Hermione had pulled their cots over to Harry’s and cuddled with him throughout the night. Nymphadora found it adorable, and made sure not to tell Andromeda about it, although she imagined that Andy was well aware that it was happening.
Early that next morning, the games started in earnest. The Tonks family and their guests made their way to the VIP section of the stands, which Harry had mixed feelings about. "Sirius, why are we in the VIP section?" Harry asked, looking to his godfather.
"Well, we are VIPs. Harry both you and I are heads of Old Families, with seats in the Wizengamot, like it or not we are kind of important. Susan here is also the niece of the Head of the DMLE, Amelia made sure we got seats here for the extra security, just in case." Sirius said.
