Christmas Destress

gabriel moved in silently into the village he had buissnes with the landlord of the hogshead regarding some less than savoury potions, he looked around cautiosly and made for the bar.
He entered the bar and walked over to the counter and ran a long ghostly finger over it and crumpled his nose "how revolting" he muttered to himself he ordered a firewiskey from the bartender and got down to talking about buissnes on the corner side of the bar

Fleur drifted in, silently she had come to drop of a few christmas presents from her self and colleges, she carried the big bag bundle under her arm, her hair, sivlery cascaded down her back and face and covered half of her face she blew out the corner of her mouth the hiar shifte briefly but fell back into place "mon dure.." he muttered at the riddiculus load, she scrowled only for a man to walk infront of her causing her to stumbble into him and becasue she wore golves and a scarf the presents tumbled out to the floor

Fleur, looked up at the comment and bamed sweetly as she saw Harry, her sisters hero "Oh 'Arry! Merci, ow wonderful it iz to se ou'" she smiled and brushed a poliet kiss to each of his cheeks "It 'as been to long no?" she smiled and stoond with a few of her presents while Harry held the rest she set them down on the table taking Harry's then from him, before taking a present and holding it out to him "ere iz yours christemas, Prezent, I 'ope you like it" she smiled

from his drink he looked back and smirked at Potters obvious discomphort, his gaze then fell on Fleur and shrug just one more Veela he had seen them ensnare men for years and seen them fall head over heals he smiled softly recollecting when he was human how he fell for a veela himself.

she giggled light hearted "'Arry, 'ou saved my sister I do not forget" she beamed "Qui, I do 'ope you like it, My sister do, not stop taking bout' you" she giggled "I vink, she adores you 'Arry" she looked around absently and caught sight of a man watching them she lowered her voice to Harry "zere is a man, I vink knows you? he stares at you" she said bluntly then strighted "oh 'Arry, ow you 'ave grown, I sware it" she smiled sweetly as per usual "I do 'ope my..Eneglish is 'ow do you say it? Up to scratch no?" she asked with a small delicate frown at struggling.

"No, 'Arry, no, 'ou saved her, and i do not forget it" she smiled "Merci again 'Arry, 'ou saved 'er although she was not yours to save!" she beamed remebered and threw her arm's around Harry in thanks and a frienly gesture before she pulled back and straighted her clothing "'Arry you worry fat to much!" she giggled " 'ou should 'ave fun while ou can no?"

She smiled at Harry's bashfull ness "Qui, you should 'ave more fun, iz 'ere anything 'ou wish to do? ifso, zen 'ou should go do it" She smiled and gave him an ecourging gesture "Be bold 'Arry do something, and take a risk" she grinned lightly "do not, vink about things, just go do!"

The door opened to the pub and Lupin stepped in aided by his walking stick and cloak, looking a little worse for wear.
He made his way to the bar and ordered himself a large firewhiskey. He seated himself up the bar not knowing there was anyone he knew there, He was too busy thinking and felt awful after the full moon.

She nodded and smiled "Qui, C'est très sympa de votre part." she grinned and giggled then translated as best as she could "Zat would be very nice o' ou" she smiled polielty "ah..s'il vous plait et un..Buttuhbeer? ow much would that be?" she asked wih a small frown hoping she had said it correctly, a gust of wind caught her of gaurd she turned and saw the famiular person "Oh! Bonjour enseignant Lupin" she grinned and waved enthusiastically

He wasn't too clear on what she had said but knew she was just saying hello. Remus waved back to her weakly as he walked to the bar to get himself a stiff drink. ".. It's a pleasure to see you again Fleur.... I hope you are well." he said trying to make conversation.
He picked up the firewhisky he had ordered and gulped it down in one before ordering another.
