  Great chapter mate, oh I like that Luna wanted to be naked, around Harry - I hope that she does :P
  
  Oh I like how Gérard Delacour handled Umbitch. LoL - oh I laughed at this I wonder, he thought as he walked to the public Floo, is her bigotry against the non-human sentient races caused by shame at the possibility that her own lineage results from experiments in the crossbreeding of human and toad carried out by some ancient Wizard?
  
  Nicely done...
  
  I like how things went with Harkness.
  
  Oh in the last chapter, I meant to say rich and not rush, so are you going to make Harry rich.
  
  PLEASE update soon.

  Thank you!!
  
  I expect Luna's going to get her wish, eventually. Harry's going to take a while to get used to it, of course. ;-)
  
  I originally planned a scene where they'd arrive at Fleur's family's estate and Fleur's mother would tell Fleur's old nurse to take Harry, Hermione, and Luna and get them a bath whilst she talked with Fleur; the three would have found themselves plunked down in a tub together, with Harry and Hermione blushing beet-coloured and Luna offering to scrub their backs and worrying if they were ill. But then I started thinking about the passport issue, and realised that Rors' original scenario with Fleur hauling Harry onto the cross-Channel ferry would require way more Veela power than I was comfortable letting her use, at this stage of the game.
  
  Glad you like Gérard. He's an interesting character to write, I find. He's capable of killing in cold blood, when necessary, but he's also a family man who's surprisingly quick to embrace his unexpected son-in-law. I think he's going to be a very good influence on Harry.
  
  Oh in the last chapter, I meant to say rich and not rush, so are you going to make Harry rich.
  
  Oh, I see. Well, I gather Harry's quite rich in canon, so yes, he's not going to have any worries about money. I don't know if I'll actually give him a title and a full-sized country house, as that seems perhaps a bit too frequently done, but I do think there's a Potter property somewhere where he and his girls could live very comfortably. Not that they'll actually be living there for a few years; I think they'll end up, outside of school, mostly staying with the Delacours, although they'll have to stay with Hermione's parents and Luna's father, also.
  
  PLEASE update soon.
  
  I've got another chapter in the pipeline. Thanks again!

  Quite amusing. I can't see either Fleur's or Hermione's parents letting this continue once they find out, but I could see Luna insisting that Harry take her to Hogwarts as his 'pet'. And of course Fleur would be happy to tease Harry about it, knowing nothing would happen (at least for several years), while Hermoine is intrigued and maybe a little jealous of Luna. Just my thoughts on it.

  Author's response

  Thank you!
  
  Well, Fleur's parents are surprisingly understanding. Apolline is half-Veela, after all, and Gérard's four greats grandmother was a full Veela, so he has some understanding even aside from being married to a half-Veela. He doesn't see this as a twerp stealing his daughter, but more as what could have happened to him and Apolline, if they'd met as kids and circumstances had been different.
  
  Hermione's parents will take some convincing, but in the end they'll be persuaded. Gérard will be a big help, there.
  
  Luna, of course, is Harry's pet, and so far as she's concerned that's the end of it. And, being Luna, she's very good at making sure everyone else agrees that that's the end of it, also. And considering that she also sees Hermione and Fleur as Harry's pets, and that they agree, if their expression of that agreement is more subdued, well...
  
  The idea of Harry and Luna together at Hogwarts whilst Hermione looks wistfully at them is interesting, but it would be torture for everyone concerned, including Fleur; Hermione loves Luna, and jealousy wouldn't be quite the right word, any road. Hermione might crack, take off her clothes, put on her collar, and insist she was Harry's pet in a way that even Luna would consider extreme; some might call that funny, but it would be a cruel scene, hurtful for everyone, and I wouldn't want to write it. Harry would probably hex Ron and Malfoy for laughing, take the rest of the term off in order to care for Hermione, and transfer all of them to Beauxbatons.
  
  More likely the situation would end with McGonagall giving them one of the old married students' rooms after she finds them sleeping in a pile on the Gryffindor Common Room floor. Or with Madam Pomfrey ordering her to give them a room of their own after one or all of them collapse from exhaustion and stress.
  
  Any road, I don't think I'll write it that way. Thanks again for reviewing!

  Yay! I'm so glad to see that this is continuing, not just being a teasing one-shot.
  
  Definitely looking forward to the Luna vs McGonaggol confrontation when the latter tries to take away he former's pet-sisters.
  

  Author's response

  Thank you!!
  
  I don't _think_ it's going to come down to Luna vs. McGonagall, but we'll see. ;-)

  Excellent, I really enjoyed this, especially the Fleur/Luna interactions in chapter 1. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes, especially Ron and Malfoy's reactions if they go to Hogwarts.

  Author's response

  Thank you!
  
  Hmm, Ron and Malfoy's reactions are a good argument for Hogwarts over Beauxbatons, now that I think of it. ;-)

  I loved the description M. Delacour used of Umbridge. That's a classic!

  I love the tale so far. I personally have always wanted to see Umbridge in a position similar to Harry's (or worse!!). Maybe this time I'll actually get to see it(hint hint) ;-)
