"It is." The sorting hat said on his shelf. "Hogwarts has the most extensive wards in the wizarding world, and with our defenses as strong as that, we don't need any security personnel. It's just that you have a boyfriend with a method of transportation that's completely unheard of. You should see the defenses Dumbledore had cast on the entrance of his office."
"Also, Hogwarts herself has allowed you passage into Hogwarts. If you weren't, the school herself would keep you out." The hat added.
"Harry? What are you doing?" Fleur asked.
"Just getting some sweets." Harry said, stuffing his pockets with Dumbledore's candy. He noticed that his left pocket was full and realized that the brown paper bag full of weed was still in his possession. He threw it inside the golden basin under Fawkes perch and continued to fill his now free pocket with candy.
He thought Gabby would like the sweets- Fleur's younger sister threw a tantrum when Apolline told her that she couldn't go with them. Also, he thought Gabrielle would like the idea of eating candy stolen from Dumbledore's own office.
Fleur ignored Harry and walked around the office, already used to his behavior and read the titles of the various books in the shelves. She recognized a few, some were in her father's and Nicholas Flamel's collection while most were completely unheard of. She didn't even realize that there were other branches of magic as she browsed the titles. She had to admit that Hogwarts had the edge in terms of quality of libraries, if the Headmaster's collection was any indication.
The quarter veela witch looked at her watch and realized that they had another engagement in the afternoon, a family reunion in Marseilles. She grabbed Harry before he decided to Dumbledore's silver trinkets, he had been eyeing them as he piled the candy, and she could see a quill poking from his pocket.
After a quick farewell to the sorting hat and a few strokes of Fawkes' plumage, the pair vanished, leaving an amused Phoenix familiar.

Marseilles, France
"It's just a simple article then? No interview with Harry Potter himself?" Rita Skeeter asked Julian Delacour.
"Yes. I need the daily prophet to show Harry's everyday life here in France. Show them that Harry's enjoying his stay here, and that we are taking good care of him, as a responsible magical guardian should."
Rita bit the end of her favorite quill, her mind racing for the sudden reason for the sudden change of her treatment. Julian had threatened her with enough charges that would get her locked up for many years, and she was forced to comply. Now, she was at the Delacour's summer home, and offered a substantial amount of money for her services.
"I'm writing this article because of the rumors floating around about Harry Potter, isn't it?" Rita smiled. At Julian's nod she continued. "The rumors had not yet spread enough that the normal folk are talking about it on the streets. It's Dumbledore's allies and Fudge's faction who are spreading it. In another week or two there might be an article written about these rumors by reporters under Fudge's pocket."
"And what are these rumors?"
"That Harry Potter is entranced by the Veela charm, and you are using him for your own political gains."
Julian laughed. "That boy's the most stubborn I have ever met. He has a strong will, and can completely overcome the Veela charm. And he has occlumency lessons ever since he started living with us. I doubt if the imperius curse can even control him."
"What about the allegations that you're using him and his popularity for political gain?"
"I admit that my standing with the French Ministry rose when he became my ward." Julian said. "But that has been a long time coming and I have prepared many years for it, and Harry's presence just hastened the process. I think it's unavoidable for any witch or wizard to gain fame and popularity when you are taking care of Harry Potter."
"I heard a few purebloods say that they're concerned that you're after his wealth."Rita said.
"The Delacour family's not lacking in resources, and I work hard to give the best to my daughters." Julian said firmly. "Harry's money is his own and of course, I supervise his transactions to make sure he's not taken advantage of. But so far, Harry's content, he's not the type to flaunt his material wealth. It would be very hard for someone to get the better of young Harry."
"Can you elaborate on that last statement?"
"Let's just say Harry's a very smart kid." Julian smiled.
"And how's the relationship between your daughter and Harry?" Rita asked.
"As can be expected of the situation. They're still young, and they have arguments, but that's common for all couples. Harry's enjoying his childhood, and we let him learn from his mistakes."
"What is the reason for entering your daughter into a betrothal agreement with the late James Potter?" Rita asked.
"Let's just say, that as a father, I would do everything and anything to ensure the happiness and futures of my daughters. Harry is a powerful wizard, kind, and is a good match to my Fleur, a powerful witch herself."
"I think I have enough for a whole spread Mister Delacour." Rita closed her notepad and tucked her quill on its case. She was very pleased with Julian's answers. The reporter thought that he would only give vague statements, similar of those public figures in the British ministry of magic.
Julian nodded and poured a drink for the both of them. Rita eyed the expensive whiskey and took a sip.
"Here's a gift for your troubles." Julian handed Rita an envelope.
The reporter opened it and took out a bank draft and she immediately coughed when she read the amount written on it. It was equivalent to a year's worth of her salary working for the Daily Prophet, bribes from Fudge included!
"All this for a simple article?" Rita asked, eyes never leaving the document.
