Gabrielle had the best seat in the stadium for seeing what was going on in the maze (the only one in fact), inside her bondmate's mind. To that end, she was extremely nervous. She had seen the darkness and the utter silence that Harry had experienced when he'd entered the hedges. She couldn't say anything to anyone about what she saw, because there were too many people around them.
"Be careful Fleur," Gabrielle whispered as she watched her sister disappear as well. "You and 'Arry take care of each other."
"They'll be fine," Ginny said comfortingly from the seat beside her.
"Yes, I'm sure Harry and your sister will both do well," Luna said from her seat beside Ginny. She was dreamily looking up at the star-laden sky. "Though I think something exciting is going to happen. There're a lot of Nargles around."
Gabrielle sighed. She knew it was going to be difficult for the next couple hours. Though she would be terrified to go into that maze, she knew she was going to be there anyway. She was brought out of her revery when a cheer arose from a section of stands. Her eyes darted to the front of the maze just in time to see Krum enter into the darkness.
"Gabrielle, can you go look on the south side of the maze and see if you see Mr. Crouch," Harry asked suddenly. "Don't go alone though; take Ginny with you."
"Okay 'Arry. Oh and Viktor Krum just entered ze maze," She didn't stop to ponder Harry's curious instructions; she presumed that Hermione had seen something on the map.
Gabrielle leaned over to Ginny and whispered. "Arry needs us to do something. Come wiz me."
"Harry? How…oh," asked Ginny before she remembered that Harry and Gabrielle could talk to each other in their minds. She turned to Luna who was still dreamily staring up into the star speckled sky rather than watching the maze and everyone else was. "We'll be back soon. Gabrielle needs me to go with her."
"Do you want me to come too?" The blonde girl asked.
Ginny was about to invite her then remembered that Gabrielle would be 'talking' to Harry and it would be hard to explain to Luna. "No, but thank you. We'll be fine. You keep watching and let us know if anything happens while we're gone."
Luna smiled at her friend. "Okay," She replied as she turned her eyes back toward the sky.
"We have to do something for 'Arry," Gabrielle whispered to her parents who were sitting behind her.
"Anything I need to be concerned about?" Alain asked.
"Non, just wants us to check on something on the other side of ze maze," Gabrielle explained.
It only took a minute to descend to the field level and start walking toward the other side of the pitch.
As they were walking Gabrielle stopped short as her eyes became unfocused. After a few seconds her eyes refocused and she giggled. She quickly explained to her friend. "Zey encountered a boggart. 'Arry made it look silly," They continued the long trek around the stadium as Gabrielle tried to keep abreast of what her bond mate and sister were doing.
"Oh…zat was interesting," Gabrielle said again when she stopped. "Ze world was upside down in some kind of golden mist and my sister was startled by Devil's Snare."
"You really can experience what Harry is experiencing?" Ginny asked as they started walking again.
"Oui," Gabrielle replied. "I can even look through 'is eyes if I want. Zat can be very fun, especially when 'e just gets out of ze shower and looks in a mirror."
"EEK!" Ginny stopped and pulled Gabrielle to stop as well. With her eyes as wide as they could go she asked. "You haven't. You wouldn't."
"I have but so 'as 'e."
"He peeks at you when you're…you're…"
"Naked? Oui, it took a while for 'im to do it. 'E was so noble, but…"
"You wanted him to?" Ginny asked in disbelief. "You...but…why?"
The two of them had started walking again as Gabrielle explained. "First ze people of my country are a little…eh…more relaxed about nudity and sex zan zis country. Besides zere are no secrets in ze bond. "
"Yeah, I understand the no secrets, but what does that have to do with...with you and he seeing…"
"When you got out of ze shower zis morning did you look in ze mirror?"
"Well yes, of course I did?"
"You saw yourself naked?"
"Of course but…"
"Can you visualize zat right now in your mind? Yourself naked?"
"Yeah but…"
"Zen if you were in ze bond, your bond mate could see eet," Gabrielle saw they were close to their goal now and brought the conversation to a close. "If 'Arry were to see zose thoughts and not been told it was fine for 'im to see it, 'e would feel guilty and it would cause problems."
"Are you and...and Harry well, having sex?" Ginny asked as her face turned red.
"Non, not yet," Gabrielle replied and before Ginny could comment, they rounded the stands on the south side.
"Arry wants us to look for Mr. Crouch, ze Triwizard judge," Gabrielle explained the task they were on. "Arry thinks 'e is around 'ere. Stay in ze shadows though, we don't want 'im to see us."
"I don't see him," Ginny said. "The only person not in the stands is Professor Moody. Wonder what he's doing?" She asked. Moody had his wand out and was moving it in a complex pattern.
