"Mama!" the Delacour Heiress shrieked and looked for her mother, determined not to let Tonks win.
She knew she had landed herself a suitable mate, though a bit young. Fleur knew that he was powerful, unique, and from what her full Veela cousins say, quite immune to the Veela charm. Those rare men were highly treasured by the Veela Covens around Europe, and they usually organize hunting parties to look for those rare, single men that have a natural resistance to their Charm.
Kit yawned and twitched his tail while the young girl in front of him giggled and copied the cat's actions and kneeled on her hands and knees on the grass. Gabrielle had decided that she wanted to learn how to be a cat too, and tried to mimic Kit's every move.
The black cat looked at his young apprentice with amusement when movement caught his attention. It was something colorful and so shiny... prey. His ears immediately flattened on his head and he lied low on the grass, determined not to alert his prey. He looked back at his companion and saw young Gabrielle flat on her belly, watching him closely.
Kit nodded and slowly moved closer to his prey, one paw at a time, determined not to give away his position. He wondered if his prey shrieked like a banshee, just like Fleur did whenever she was surprised.
"Is it done?" Apolline asked Perenelle who had volunteered to watch the steaks that cooked over the grill.
With a flick of her wand, Penny turned the steaks on the other side and she nodded in approval when she saw the proper color on the surface.
"A few minutes more, then this lot will be ready." Perenelle said. "How does Julian like his steak?"
"Rare." Apolline said. "Harry likes his medium rare, and so do my girls."
Perenelle nodded and took a few stakes of the grill while he let hers and Apolline's cook for a few more minutes.
"That's a nice dress, where did you get that?" Perenelle asked when she noticed the beautiful pattern on the half-Veela's clothing.
"This thing?" Apolline smiled and took a fold of her picnic dress. "Julian bought this for me last week. Touch the fabric, you'd be surprised how soft it feels."
"This is high quality Acromantula silk." Perenelle said as she ran her fingers over the fabric. "I wouldn't wear that with Harry though..."
"Why not?" Apolline asked as she returned to the table beside the pool, arranging the wine and juices for the children.
"You know clothes made of Acromantula silk, they are very reflective." Perenelle began.
"What does that have to do with Harry?" Apolline asked.
"The first time I wore clothes that shiny, Harry kept on touching them." Perenelle smiled fondly. "They got ruined immediately, since his hands were stained with ink from playing with Nicky's elaborate quill."
"Oh dear." Apolline said. "Do you think I should change?"
"Too late for that." Perenelle grinned.
"What?"
A black blur jumped from the grass and landed on Apolline's skirt, and a second later young Gabrielle followed the black figure and tackled her mother's legs.
"EEEEK!" Apolline shrieked as Perenelle laughed at the sight of Kit mewling victoriously over his prey, his claws digging in the fabric while Gabrielle let out a victorious cry.
"Gabby! Harry!" Apolline plucked her attacker from her skirt and held the young cat in her arms. She looked down at Kit's partner in crime and saw her daughter hugging her legs. "What are you two doing?"
The Delacour Matriarch tried to move but was unable to do so when her daughter kept a tight grip on her ankles. Her balance wavered and she yelled as she started to fall back to the pool taking Kit with her.
SPLASH!
Perenelle laughed when Apolline surfaced with a very wet and annoyed cat with her. Gabrielle had wisely let go of her mother's legs, avoiding being dragged into the pool and she watched with confusion on what had happened.
"Serves you right Harry!" Apolline scolded the soaked cat on her arms as she waded towards the shallow end of the pool. "I hope this teaches you a lesson!"
She dunked the cat underwater for a second to show him how angry she was.
Mrooowrrr...
Kit leaped of his future mother-in-law's arms and landed on the ground as they reached the edge of the pool. Immediately he shook his body and transformed back to Harry.
"What were you thinking?" Apolline rounded on the young man, her hands on her waist. The Delacour Matriarch was dripping wet, with her hair plastered tightly on her face.
"I was just teaching Gabby how to stalk." Harry scratched his head in embarrassment. He ran his fingers through his wet hair and smiled sheepishly at the annoyed half Veela.
Apolline sighed, unable to remain angry as she looked at the boyish grin Harry was giving her. It didn't help her situation when young Gabrielle stood by Harry's side trying to help her idol to get out of trouble.
"You might as well take baths before you eat." Apolline waved her wand at Harry, instantly drying his clothes. "Go on. I think Gabrielle needs her bath too. Look at your dress Gabrielle, it is dirty now."
"Sorry Mama." Gabrielle said, looking at her light blue dress.
"Uhhh Thanks." Harry said and ran inside the house while Gabrielle waited for her mother to help her prepare her bath.
"Mama!"
Apolline turned around and saw her eldest daughter who wore a distraught look on her face and she wondered what happened to her peaceful Saturday morning.
"What is it?" Apolline asked.
"Did you know that..." Fleur stopped talking and stared at her mother and sister. "Mama, what happened to you?" She saw her mother was dripping wet, her hair looked frazzled and her clothes crumpled.
"Harry." Apolline said, as if that name explained everything. "He and your sister here were playing and I fell into the pool with Harry."
