A week before Christmas the trio had to leave so they could return to England, apparently Bellatrix was satisfied with the amount of time spent in France and had done whatever it was that she wanted to do here. Harry would admit that he had fun touring France with the Delacours, the sights were beautiful and he had to admit that it had an elegance the Britain didn't have. He couldn't speak for all of France but the parts that he went to were very mesmerising.
"Well, this is it" Bellatrix said to the adult Delacour's as they were about to leave "I want to thank you so much for having us"
"Oh, it is a pleasure" Appolline waved her off "are you sure you don't want to stay until Christmas?"
"Yes, but we appreciate the offer" Bellatrix replied "we've left some Christmas gifts for you, I hope you all like it."
"Bye guys" Delphi waved at them all
"Harry" Gabrielle began tugging on his leg "I'm sorry about saying mean things about your face"
"It's fine, you're forgiven" Harry replied and the small girl beamed before wrapping her arms around Harry and giving him a hug "You won't be forgiven if you break my bones" he added and she let go but continued smiling
"Harry" Fleur spoke next, her voice was soft "I will m...miss you" she said, doing her best to speak in English
"You too, I hope you keep practising your English, you're getting very good at it"
"Thank you" She beamed for a second before her face fell slightly "I will miss you" Fleur said, feeling more comfortable as she spoke in French "I've really enjoyed having you around here for the last few weeks. If it's not too much trouble...could we write to each other?" She asked the last part hopefully
"I see no reason why not" Harry shrugged
"Thank you!" Fleur said as she hugged Harry with surprising quickness "I'll miss you, visit whenever you want" She kissed him on the cheek, which shocked Harry. He was even more shocked when he realised that she kissed the burnt part of his face and didn't seem remotely uncomfortable
"Right...thank you" Harry said after she let go, not quite knowing what else to say
"Okay" Bellatrix said with barely restrained laughter "let's go" She said goodbye once more before she led the two children away
"Ha, looks like I was right!" Delphi said smugly once they war far enough away from the Delacour house "Fleur has a crush on you!"
"Yes, well miracles are known to happen" Harry replied "I'm guessing this was your one moment of intelligence for the year"
"Just upset because I was right" Delphi said in a singsong voice
"You've brought this on yourself" Harry said as he removed his wand
"Harry" Bellatrix said as Delphi jumped back "please let it slide this one time"
"Fine" Harry sighed as he put his wand away "but if she proceeds to annoy me again then I will make her bald"
"Fair enough" Bellatrix replied
"What do you mean fair enough?!" Delphi hissed "That's my hair!"
"And it'll be fine as long as you keep your mouth shut" Bellatrix replied "now we're out of the Delacour wards now, so grab on to the return portkey" She said as she held out a small metal pipe, Harry and Delphi grabbed onto it and found themselves being portkeyed back to England
"I miss him already" Fleur sighed, a depressed look on her face
"It'll be fine flower, you can still write to him" Appolline rubbed her daughters back "besides, you only need to wait for a few more years and then you can go and see him whenever you like"
"Really Mama?" She looked at her mother with clear hope
"Yes, really" She nodded and was glad to see her daughters face break into a massive smile
Harry and Delphi found themselves on the Hogwarts express again, the holidays were over and that meant returning to school. The two were in their own compartment, Harry was doing what Harry usually does and sat peacefully as he read one of the books that he had got from Bellatrix. Delphi was sat opposite to him and was drawing Harry as he sat and read. She had gotten a lovely art set for Christmas and found that she was rather talented in the subject.
"Hey guys" Fay said as she opened the door of the compartment "can I come and sit here?"
"I don't mind" Harry said
"Huh? Sure" Delphi said distractedly
"Okay, what's up now?" Fay asked as she put her things overhead and sat down
"Delphi's got a drawing set for Christmas and now I am an unwilling participant for her. Fortunately all she wants is for me to stay still and as I'm currently reading I have no objection"
"Okay" Fay said as she looked at Delphi's drawing "wow, Delph, that's pretty good"
"Thanks" Delphi smiled "Harry, I'm done, do you want to see it?"
"Why do I get the feeling that my answer doesn't matter?" Harry asked as he looked up, a second later the drawing was shoved in front of him
"Well?!" She asked excitedly
"It's good" Harry sighed "I am actually pretty impressed"
"Awesome! I'm going to be a famous artist!" Delphi grinned as she pulled it back and examined her art "Like Leonardo da Vinci"
"You sure about that?" Harry asked as he returned his attention to his book "He was a genius and it took him like twelve years to finish the Mona Lisa, how long would it take you?"
"Ignore him" Fay said to Delphi "you'd be great"
"Thank you, it's nice to have support" Delphi said as she sent Harry a glare, which wasn't really effective as he wasn't looking at her
"So, what did you guys do over the holidays?" Fay asked "I had went to Spain with my family"
"We stayed in France until a week before Christmas, Harry also got a girlfriend" Delphi added the last part with a grin
"What?!" Fay blurted as she turned at Harry who idly turned a page
"She's not my girlfriend" Harry said in a bored tone
"Then why are you writing to her?" Delphi asked with the same grin
"Because she asked if we could write to each other and I said 'I see no reason why not'."
"He's totally in love with her" Delphi said to Fay
"Del, for the last few days you have been under the protection of your mother so I can understand why you've gotten cocky. However your mother isn't here right now, so unless you'd like a plaque with the words 'Here died an idiot' to be placed on that seat you're sitting on, I'd advise shutting up"
"Shutting up now" Delphi raised her hands in surrender
