The last Alarie, a Delacour legacy

*Harry's pov* (bet you didn't see that coming huh) 

she's coming in two days time, the thought danced around my head as my eyes kept scanning over the letter, she is actually coming like here.. to Hogwarts and I get to finally hug her again..

my heart began racing at the very thought of the idea, being able to say 'hi' to her in person instead of a letter, being able to hold her in my arms, rocking back and forth in a comfortable silence, and just being able to see her before me and not just in a moving picture.

I press the letter to my chest, a smile tugging at my lips. Truth is, I liked Belle ever since I laid eyes on her all those years ago. It seemed like only yesterday we were in Diagon Alley getting our robes for school, it seems like only yesterday she kissed me on my left cheek, close to my nose and right below my glasses.

I press my left pointer finger to the spot where her lips once were, reminiscing on what happened years ago. I was snapped out of my little moment when Ron came bursting into the dorm room.

"bloody hell Harry, what's got you looking like a love sick pixie" he began eyeing me up and down to see if anything was wrong with me

"I-it's nothing" I stuttered, snapping out of my trance and placing Belle's letter on my bed behind me

Ron looks at me and smirks

"It's Belle again isn't it? What did she say about Leo this time?" he was obviously mocking me but I couldn't help but flinch in anger at the sound of Leo's name

"She said he hasn't confessed his feelings for her, I still have a chance Ron." I seethed, staring at him dead in the eye

"whatever you say mate, it's your bloody choice to keep on waiting for her" Ron concluded, obviously not even having a clue to how wonderful she is

"she's worth it" I muttered, shaking my head

He sat on his bed, crossing his arms over his chest and looked back over to me.

"she's just a girl you met what? three, maybe four years ago? get over it, you guys go to completely different schools. Bloody hell Harry, you act as if you're in love, why don't you just go out with a girl here? You're the chosen one for Merlin's sake! You could have any girl here you wanted, but no you're stuck on some girl from Beauxbatons," he ranted, "a bloody idiot if you ask me." he whispered to himself, shaking his head in amusement 

"because she isn't just 'some girl' Ron, she's special, but maybe you're right, maybe I should try to move on, seems like she has" I muttered the last part, feeling a pain in my heart at the thought of her and Leo together

"That's the spirit mate" he smiled at me, placing his left arm over my shoulders

"now, let's go down to dinner, I'm starving" he emphasized the word starving while placing his right hand on his stomach

"of course you are" I shook my head in disapproval, soon breaking into laughter

We made our way to the Gryffindor table before Professor Dumbledore cleared his throat.

"Well now that we're all settled in and sorted, I would like to make an announcement. Hogwarts will not only be," Mr. Filch interrupted by running down the middle of the great hall, "your home this year, but home to some special guests as well."

*Belle's pov*

Our carriage landed with a bit of a thump while I was trying to braid my hair on the left side of my head.

"You've got to be kidding me," I huffed, losing my braid that I had almost finished, "that took me forever!" I looked in the mirror absolutely angered at myself
