章 28: Veela's Debt
Fleur nodded "For a Veela, it is not such a simple matter. Our magic is different and a debt of this type must be settled or it will start to affect me."
Cho asked "How is it different? From what I've heard, Harry collects life debts like some people collect chocolate frog cards and that doesn't even count the debt owed to him by our whole society from when he was a baby."
Megan jumped in "Yeah, I think I heard that Granger and the Weasley girl both owe him a life debt but after what all has happened, the only way he'd use them is to make sure they left him alone."
She smiled as she heard gasps behind her.
Fleur blushed and quietly said "A Veela's magic will compel her to satisfy the debt by sacrificing something to him. In my case, it could be my virginity or I could be bonded to him for life as a concubine. There are other ways to satisfy the debt but most do not apply in this situation as Harry is too young to want children yet."
Megan stared at her for a few minutes in shock. Her eyes cut over to Cedric who was also staring at Fleur in shock. She finally burst out in mocking laughter in the French champion's face. She growled out "Why in the hell do you think Harry would ever accept anything you had to offer? You treated him like the dirt beneath your feet and then insulted his manhood."
Fleur indignantly replied "I did no such thing. I merely stated he was too young to compete."
Cedric said "You called him a little boy when he has done more than most adults."
"I do not understand. What do you mean?"
Cedric said "Harry has already faced you-know-who four times in his life and lived to tell about it. If that isn't enough, he killed a sixty-five foot basilisk at twelve and has faced all kinds of stuff that would make most of us crap our pants and go crying to mummy."
"Mon dieu"
Megan said "Yeah, he has more reason to brag or gloat and walk around here showing he's as tough as Draco Malfoy thinks he is but instead, he's quiet and caring and really sweet. And then the tournament happens and everyone treats him like crap and makes his life even more miserable than it already was. And then you have the nerve to come over here and claim you owe him a debt and that you intend to claim him as your own to satisfy that debt.
I don't see how Harry would benefit from such a thing. In my opinion, the debt would only grow because he would have to take care of a spoiled princess like you for the rest of his life. I don't care what you think but you don't deserve to even look at him or wash his feet. Your best bet is to tell him thank you and move on. Anything else is laughable because he wouldn't give you the time of day no matter what you look like."
Not realizing that they were drawing attention, a crowd had started listening in. Ginny, Ron, Hermione, and Neville were amongst the first Gryffindors in the Great Hall and heard the whole thing. Their eyes widened that not only had they been replaced but here was someone from another house that was heatedly defending Harry to the end. They finally saw Cedric squeeze her hand to calm her down but realized that Harry now had real friends that wouldn't turn their backs on him like they had. It was just another blow to their fragile egos that Harry didn't need them and had quite obviously moved on after their betrayal.
Fleur looked up after being berated as she was quietly said "You love him don't you?"
Megan noticed she had a lot of attention on her and said "Who wouldn't? He's a great guy that any girl would be proud to be with. His only requirement at this point is that you show some loyalty to him. You could be dog ugly and it wouldn't matter. I guess that's why he liked Granger so much as she was loyal to him until Halloween, well at least he thought she was."
Cedric cut her off as he whispered "Meg, I know you're mad but you need to shut up."
She smiled again as she heard a few sobs behind her.
Fleur had been watching the whole thing and knew that her answer had not been the whole truth. She decided to take Megan's advice and see if a simple thank you and a promise of help in the future would satisfy the debt. She finally said "I thank you for your insights and will attempt to satisfy my debt as you have suggested."
As Fleur rose and moved to sit amongst the students of her house, Gabrielle said in perfect English. "Please tell Harry that I said thank you. He didn't have to do what he did for me and I'd bet that if he hadn't helped me and my sister, he wouldn't have been hurt."
Megan smiled at the young girl and asked "Are you going to have to settle any debts with Harry?"
Gabrielle smiled "Goodness no, I was never in any danger. I had Harry Potter watching out for me."
Megan laughed "That's a good one, I'm sure Harry will get a laugh out of that."
With a grin, Gabrielle turned away and went to sit beside her sister. As Megan watched her go, she felt a tap on her shoulder. When she turned around, a teary eyed Ginny Weasley was standing in front of her and asked "Is Harry okay? Do you know where he is?"
Megan gave the girl a hard but tear filled glare. "I don't know and thanks to you lot, he could be lying somewhere dying and we wouldn't know."
That was more than enough to send Ginny running from the Great Hall and she wouldn't be seen the rest of the night. Under normal circumstances, the Gryffs would be all over her for making Ginny cry but they couldn't deny the truth of the matter and sat there silently.
