Title: Unlikely Heroes: Fallen feathers, mirrored scales

Pairing: Future DracoxHarry

Fandom: Harry Potter

Summary: A side fic with vignettes that should give insight into characters in my Unlikely Heroes story.

Notes: I know this title isn't as epic as that of StarlightxMassacre's Rise of the Dracken: The Scaled bits but I did my best. This is not quite a side fic but will show parts of the story that didn't make it into the main story line for whatever reasons. Hopefully this is answer questions or fill in gaps.

This side fic is dedicated to one of my favorite reviewers: Child of the sea96

A/N: The beginning of the Chapter takes place over breakfast thus at the same time as Chapter 31- Peace shattering Argument in the Great Hall. The scenes regarding Durmstrang and Beauxbatons take place immediately following ch 31 of Unlikely Heroes.

Chapter 14- Reactions regarding Daily Prophet

November 29, 1994

The Weasley family: Septimus, Cedrella, Arcturus, Gideon, William, Percy and Oliver assembled for breakfast.

Septimus was sipping at his coffee, “Good Morning William and Happy birthday.”

A repeating chorus of congratulations around…

Bill grinned, “Thanks.”

Septimus opened his Daily Prophet to find his youngest grandson’s fiancé on the front page. He’d been told before hand that Lucius would help arrange this.

He reluctantly read it.

‘The most famous Seeker in the World to be Bonded?’

By Rita Skeeter

Witches and some Wizards I expect will be crying all over the World at the news that Durmstrang Institute’s Triwizard Champion and Seeker for the Bulgarian National Quidditch team, Viktor Krum is to be Bonded sometime in the New Year. To whom you might ask? To one George Weasley-Prewett who is the fifth born son of Lord Gideon Prewett and former Auror Arthur Weasley. Mr. Weasley is also the grandson of Lord Septimus and Cedrella Weasley. Though as good-looking as this boy is one wonders why he would be chosen by such an internationally famous person.

In an interview with Mr. Krum, he told this reporter, ‘I was attracted to George at once. We have similar interests and backgrounds. As you know I’ll be graduating at the end of the school year from the Durmstrang Institute. George however shall have another year at Hogwarts. I shall of course continue to fly for Bulgaria though I may consider flying for a British team if George doesn’t wish to be parted from his family. My fiancé is quite close to his siblings coming from a large family and is especially close to his twin.

My father had offer to buy us a home as is customary where I come from but George’s grandfather Lord Weasley graciously offered us a property that has been in the Weasley family for generations, a large country house in Godric’s Hollow. My father advised me to accept, between my mother and his grandmother they shall see to the furnishings of our future home. My father has agreed to cover all such expenses. My father runs one of the most successful operations in retrieving rare potions ingredients and wand cores for prominent potioneers and wandmakers.

My fiancé also has interest in business pursuits with his brother although I believe he will be more interested in the inventing side rather then the promotions aspect.’

‘Tell us what one thing originally brought you together?’

‘Quidditch. George was lucky enough to attend the Quidditch World Cup where he had the chance to see me fly at my best. He was in the Minister’s box a guest of future Triwizard judge Ludo Bagman. We did not realize until later that we’d seen one another in passing until recently.’

‘How were you introduced?’

‘I was graciously invited to sit at Slytherin’s Table in the Great Hall for meals you see. One morning following Draco and Harry’s return to Hogwarts, Harry Potter as well as George and his twin Fred accompanied Draco Malfoy to breakfast. Draco Malfoy introduced us, I was taken with him, Beater he may be but I have never met a more gentle and affectionate soul.’

‘We heard a rumour that your fiancé’s elder brother Percy is also engaged is this true?’

‘Yes, to a Keeper who flies for Puddlemere United, a strong, honourable sort. His name is Oliver Wood, good friends throughout their days at Hogwarts I’m told. They broke up briefly over some stressful incident, quite sad really. They’re quite happy now, I heard a rumour that young though he is that Percy soon-to-be Wood, might be offered the position of Head of the British Ministry Department of International Magical Cooperation. He’s only been there a matter of months but due to former Triwizard Tournament Judge Crouch’s illness he has been running it quite smoothly mostly likely due to his experience as Head Boy at Hogwarts. I do hope it is true; he is a bright, hard working fellow. I wish him only the best, it would be an honour to call him and Oliver and brothers.”

‘You get along well with his family?’

‘Oh yes, his grandparents and his fathers think we’re good for each other. I look forward to a long and happy life together. Our children will most likely be very keen at Quidditch. Who knows, they might play in a Quidditch World Cup themselves. It’s quite sad that George has no desire to pursue a professional career as a Beater. He’d go far, he’s exceptional; (laugh) I’m not just saying that because we’re engaged. He could teach the Beaters I’ve flown with on the Vratsa Vultures and the Bulgarian National teams a thing or two.’

This reporter also had the opportunity to interview; with permission of course young Mr. Malfoy who introduced the happy affianced pair.

‘Mr. Krum tells us that you were responsible for their meeting.’

‘Yes, I had invited the Weasley-Prewett twins to join Harry and myself; I’m courting Harry Potter by the way, for breakfast. Viktor asked on behalf of his Durmstrang classmates to join us and I cordially invited them to. I thought that since we were all a bit nervous to mention that we all were interested in Quidditch. It just went from there. I had a feeling they’d make a match of it.’

‘Mr. Malfoy, are you considering a career as a professional Matchmaker?’

‘Of course not, it’s just a hobby. I maybe the Prince of Slytherin you know but I haven’t quite decided my path just yet. I’m considering studying to be an Unspeakable or apprenticing to my papa Professor Prince-Malfoy and becoming a potioneer.’

This reporter wishes young Mr. Krum all the best. We hope that he continues to do well in the Triwizard Tournament. May the best Champion win the Triwizard Cup!

Septimus was infuriated, the article ended well yet the tone at the beginning was rude and condescending. ‘Why would someone famous choose his grandson?’ George was brilliant; he was good-looking and quite talented. Why wouldn’t Viktor Krum choose his grandson?! He read through the announcements he wanted printed.

Lord and Lady Wood of Aberdeen, Scotland and Lord Gideon Prewett and his consort Arcturus of Cairn Eerie, Scotland wish to announce the engagement of their sons Oliver Wood and Percival Brian Prewett-Weasley, ages nineteen and eighteen respectively. Oliver Wood is a second starter Keeper for Puddlemere United while his fiancé Percy works for the Department of International Magical Cooperation for the Ministry. They are to be bonded at a presently undecided date in the New Year. Their plan is to live in

Mr. And Mrs. Branislav Krum of Bulgaria, and Lord Gideon Prewett and his consort Arcturus of Scotland wish to announce the engagement of their sons Viktor Makariy Krum and George Caius Prewett-Weasley. Viktor Krum, currently of Durmstrang Institute is their Triwizard Champion. He flies for the Vratsa Vultures as well as the Bulgarian National Quidditch team as his schoolwork permits. Recently he flew in the Quidditch World Cup for Bulgaria as their Seeker catching the Snitch though not winning the match. His fiancé George is a Sixth Year student as Hogwarts. Their plan is to live in Godric’s Hollow, Britain following their Bonding.

He crumbled up his paper; at least they got that right! He wondered if that one disparaging remark would be enough to sue the Daily Prophet? He’d asked Lucius…

XoooooX

Durmstrang offended

[Please regard this conversation to be in Russian]

Karkaroff stormed off after his students, a Hogwarts student and its headmaster dare insult his students? His school? As if their attempt to get two bits of the apple as Miss Delacour called it wasn’t insulting enough. To insult his prize student and his fiancé was unforgivable.

When he reached their ship, Thor’s Hammer he wasn’t surprised to find everyone minus Viktor and his mate waiting for him on the deck.

Karkaroff snarled, “Until that Headmaster apologies to us none of us shall step one toe off this ship. I don’t care if that means Viktor doesn’t attend the Second Task! We have been grievously insulted, one of our own, Viktor’s honour impugned and this I shall not tolerate.”

The eleven Durmstrang students were not surprised by this outburst.

In fact, Kazamir Ivanovski was still muttering rude things in regards to the Dumbledore uncle and nephew in colourful Russian and other related tongues.

“Anyone caught on Hogwarts property for any reason shall be returned to Durmstrang. Is that clear?” Karkaroff snapped.

The students agreed with the exception of Ivanovski.

Ekateirna Petrova, his girlfriend poked him.

Ivanovski blinked.

Ekateirna hissed, “The Headmaster forbid us to leave the ship and wishes to know if we understand.”

Ivanovski nodded, “Of course Headmaster.”

“Very well. To your studies with all of you.”

XoooooX

Madame Maxime outraged

[Please regard this conversation to be in French]

Fleur had the best ears in Beauxbatons and despite being two tables away; the incident during breakfast between Dumbledore and Durmstrang hadn’t escaped her notice.

Immediately following their exit of the Great Hall in Hogwarts Madame Maxime joined her and Gabrielle.

“Fleur, what was going on between ‘eadmaster Dumblydoor and Durmstrang.”

Fleur glanced down at her sister, “Dumbledore and someone believed to be his nephew were insulting members of their family. It occurred because of two announcements of engagement in the Daily Prophet. One of the Ravenclaws allowed me to read it. I believe her name is Lovegood. Durmstrang’s champion is engaged to a Hogwarts student. That Hogwarts student’s elder brother is also engaged to a professional Quidditch player who flies for a British team. The accusation was that the Quidditch players were going to chose Bonds that weren’t true bonds and thus set the two young men up as demimonde instead of Bondmates.” Choosing her words with care so that her precocious nine-year old sister didn’t understand what she was attempting to communicate.

“We were invited as guests and this is how we are treated? Our students fall in love with one of theirs and we are accused of treating them dishonourably?” Madame Maxime was irate.

Gabrielle tugged on Fleur’s sleeve, “What’s a demimonde?”

Fleur shushed her.

“If Dumblydoor thinks he can treat us like he’s treating Durmstrang he’ll soon learn that you don’t treat a lady like that.”

Fleur was still ignoring her sister when they reached the carriage.

Gabrielle was still trying to get an answer when her sister delivered her into the hands of her governess.

So Fleur left them both the muttering of her imposing headmistress and the questions she didn’t wish to answer of her sister.

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
