Author's Note: Fluer/Cho


She caught my eye first, as someone who just might be friendly to a foreigner. She looked a foreigner as well, and that attracted me to her. I asked her permission to sit; she looked at me with surprise in her eyes.

"If you would like," she said politely, slightly arching one eyebrow. Though she oozed disbelief and slight hostility, I sat. She asked me my name.

"Fluer Delacour," I informed her.

"Cho Chang."

She gazed at me with a smile, all traces of suspicion gone. This girl, Cho Chang, was beautiful, I thought. She was welcoming, and talked in a sweet voice. I was attracted to her – to her beauty and to her kindness. Perhaps something would evolve from this attraction, something good.

"Merci," I said, half to myself.

"For what?" Her brow wrinkled in puzzlement.

"Letting me seet down."

"Your welcome."

Something good would happen, I was sure.
