Harry wrote to Sirius, Oliver, Arabella Figg, Mr and Mrs Weasley, and of course The Woods about the tournament.

His hand ached all morning. However, it was great to have lots of support. All those people he was able to write to. It still stung when he thought of Ron ignoring him last time. This was much better.

"Are you okay, Fleur?" Harry was taking a walk with Luna.

Luna was pointing out species of tree and all sorts of magical creatures Harry couldn't see. Well he did see two of them, but that was it.

"Yes, I'm fine. Just wanted to admire the scenery." She pointed to the castle.

"Your friends are being mean to you." Luna mentioned; it wasn't a question but a statement. She just knew.

"Oui. Yes." Fleur answered sadly.

"Oh, Luna, this is Fleur. Fleur, this is my girlfriend, Luna Lovegood."

"Hello."

"Can we sit with you?" Luna asked.

"Oui." Luna sat and pulled Harry with her. "Eet iz a pleasure to meet you, Luna."

"Harry has told me so much about you." Luna smiled in return to the greeting. "They're just jealous you know."

"Everyone says that."

"Fleur, Luna is a seer like me."

Luna sat back and spoke in her dreamy voice. "I know they are. Your school. You're beautiful and smart. Now you're their champion like my Harry. They're all angry it wasn't them." Harry smiled at her words.

"I know, but…"

"I have an idea, if you like." Harry offered. "I have a club. It starts in half an hour. Come with us. Cedric will be there, and you can get to know Hogwarts better."

"We're rivals."

"The tournament is to promote unity between the schools. If you don't want to come or if you might get in tro-"

"No Harry, I'll come." Fleur nodded. "You have a beautiful castle." She stood up and helped Luna to her feet. Luna skipped with Harrys hand as they entered the castle.

"Sign your name here, Fleur." Harry passed her the quill. Then he rolled up the parchment so there was a space reviled for her to write.

"Why?"

"Proof that you were here. It makes you a member. See up there." Harry pointed to the plaque above the sign-in sheet.

'Defence and Combat club. Loyalty to our school, Loyalty to the light, Loyalty to the Club, Loyalty to the pursuit of learning, Loyalty to each other, Loyalty to yourself.'

"But I am from Beauxbaton."

"Then write that beside your name. These are the things you are promising. And besides, it says school, not Hogwarts."

"Okay." She wrote down her name.

Harry picked up a coin from the bowl next to it. "Welcome to the DAC." He placed it into her hand with a smile.

"Harry your late." Draco smiled as he spotted the boys ponytail. "Oh, Fleur right?"

"Oui."

"I'm Farsight. That over there is Kindle. You've already met Reticent and Luna." Draco pointed. "We're Harrys best friends."

"Pleasure?"

"Don't worry Fleur, they're just nicknames. Draco, Hermione, Ron, and Luna. In that order." Harry assured her.
