{Fleur} Exploring new surroundings

[fleur]

Fleur nodded happily as the strolled the grounds talking about various things. She did however remain vigilant in these unknown territories. Hogwarts wasn’t like the palace back home. She was certain that Hogwarts like Beauxbatons held many secrets. Some of which she’d probably do better not knowing about.

“I do not believe zat I ‘ave ever been to ‘ogsmeade before, but I ‘ave read about it before coming ‘ere. I am sure zat ze shops in ‘ogsmeade do not compare to ze ones back home. Never-ze-less I zink zat I would be excited to go. I ’ear zat zere is this thing called ze Shrieking Shack… It is meant to be ze most ‘aunted building in Britain.” Her words were eager as they slipped through her lips. It had been a couple of weeks since she had shopped or did anything remotely girly. She felt obligated to mention the Shrieking Shack. It was something more ‘manly’ that Viktor could be interested in. “’ave you ever been to ‘ogsmeade before?” She asked after a couple of minutes. It wouldn’t surprise her if he had. He was after all rich and famous and traveled often for Quidditch games. It was fair to assume that he had been there before.

Viktor was glad to be with someone his own age that wasn't constantly asking him about Quidditch.Where most people would probably find Fleur a snob or something to that sort he did not see it. Her beauty was in a sense to die for but there was far more to her then just that. She knew how to talk she knew how to be exactly the person she wanted to be. She could take charge and that was something that he enjoyed in a female. Of course he'd hung around a group of what his head master would call troubled teens. Mal and Stella anyways. There was a good reason why the two had not been left at the school in the first place. He shook his head and continued their walk around the ground. He let himself smile and have a good time but then again Fleur was bring that out in him in the first place.

Hogwarts held a lot of stories. He was gladd to know that it had secrets much like Beauxbatons and Durmstrang but he was sure that those secrets needed to stay that was unless they all became involved or something like that. He was not going to go out and search for danger that would not be right. Danger always found those that were looking for it and sometimes danger snuck up on others. He saw some movement in the tree line of the forbidden forest and pulled Fleur a bit away from the tree line so that incase something did come out it would get to him frist but that they were at a safe distance in case anyone else might see what happened to them too.

He was brought out of his silent thinking when Fleur began to talk about Hogsmeade. "I have been to France before vith the team. I must say thought that I like the small little towns there. It is much like Hogsmeade is. Though I've been to Hogsmeade only once for a very short time. I vould certainly like to explore it." He gave her a soft smile and was sure that they'd have some fun in their own rights in Hogsmeade. He started to lead her down the path to get there. He only knew that bath was correct because some of the other students were heading that way as well.

While they walked Fleur looked over the dark depths of the Black Lake, with its gently rippling water. It made her miss the Palace back home, which overlooked a sandy beach. It was a place many students spent the better part of September and June down by the crystal blue water. It also made her miss the friends that were left back at the school. Probably wondering what they were missing over at Hogwarts with the event of the Tri-Wizard Tournament becoming public knowledge. She felt a bit of pity for them. She thought that they should have been here. Cheering on whoever became Beauxbaton’s champion.

Those thoughts quickly left her mind, as Viktor pulled her closer. She wasn’t sure why he did, but she wasn’t going to be the one to complain. In fact she liked being closer to him. Even though the thick material of the cloak she could feel the heat emanating off of him. She smirked slightly, ducking her head as a light blush graced her cheeks.

“Yes, I do like ze small villages of France. Ze are quite charming in zere own right.” She said with a small nod as they continued down the dirt road. She had to look up every now and again to view Viktor. He was taller then her, just as she preferred it. “It is good zat you ‘ave been to ‘ogsmeade before. Where do you recommend zat we go first?” She asked as they passed a group of envious girls who were obviously dying to be in her place.

Viktor was slowly moving down the path towards Hogsmeade. He had not moved from holding Fleur closer because of what he had seen in the forest as the passed that to get back up to the trail in the first place. He noticed her put her head down but said nothing of it because she looked back up at him a few times as well. A smile that was soft and reassuring was plastered over his lips and he paid no mind to anyone that might be going past them on the path to Hogsmeade. He looked around a few times to make sure he wasn't going to trip on anyone and then was pulled out of any thoughts that might be crossing his mind as Fleur began to speak again. His smile widened as she called the little villiages in France charming. Then she was silent again giving him time to slip back into his own thoughts.

He was thinking about those that stayed at his own school. He was wondering what teachers had actually stayed as well. They had a good group of teacher however their deputy head wasn't with them because after all someone had to run things back at home. He would have to make sure that his little sister was alright sooner or laters as she had come with him to Hogwarts. He was unsure why their parents would send her but they had and he was responsible for making sure that she was prefectly fine when he saw her. Igor was supposed to be watching the little ones that were not of school age yet and keeping them occupied with things to do as well. He let that slip his mind as Fleur voice filled his thoughts again.

"Vell I am not sure. It depends on vhat you vant to do. There is a candy shop and many trinket shops." They started the last leg into Hogsmeade Village as he looked up to see the buildings in the distance. He hardly noticed the girls that seemed to be dying to be in Fleur's place. He had eyes only for her and that was how it was going to stay.
