Flowerpot

Out of the Cut

It's about Fleur cutting it off with Harry after they had a good time during Yule Ball. They are friends though but there is a good chance of something happening between them. Age gap and leaving for France dominates Fleur's thoughts so she makes the decision of stopping whatever they had together. Just so, she doesn't hurt after the year is done. She wants to deal with it now. And forget anything ever happened

You want me to do what now? (His eyes flared, an unknown madness danced in those fierce emerald orbs that she had never noticed before.) You want me to drop by here and now to exchange casual greetings just so that you can feel good about yourself?! Like what you just did had no impact on me. Like it didn't even happen. ( Releasing an angry frustrated growl, Harry went on.) But it did! It happened, Delacour! You made it happen and now you want me to be cordial with you?! Fuck that! How about you leave me some ounce of dignity, eh?

(Fleur was rooted to spot, a sense of alarm could be seen in her eyes.) I am not your toy, alright? I am not. I am a person with thoughts and feelings, sentiments! You can't just throw a person away like trash and expect them to be there whenever you feel like it. That's not how the world works! And I have experienced far too much shit like this to know better, that trusting someone with your heart, especially for a person like me, never ends well.

(Harry shook his head as if she was not even there to see it. It was as though he was talking to himself.) I can't believe this is happening again! And it doesn't even… it is not about you. You are just a name in a list now….. but that doesn't even….. fuck! Fucking pathetic! I fell for it again… merlin!

(Fleur hesitantly took a step towards him.)Harry….let's just forget this happened, alright? I don't know what….. came over me and I am sorry that I have hurt you. I….I think I was just scared, alright? This has never happened to me before, being with someone who I trust and put my faith in. I can't believe what I have done. And I am ashamed, I truly am! Believe me, please! It was just so complicated in my head and I made a huge error. I didn't think about how it would hurt you-

Yes, you did. You are Fleur Delacour afterall. -but we can make this right! We have time and I will do anything there is to make sure that things can go the way they used to be-

You can't. You can't do it. You made your decision. You made me feel like shit and you did it deliberately. (Harry’s voice had gone quiet now with a faraway look in his eyes.)You will have new toys Fleur. Don't worry about me. I'll take care of myself. I have done this before. You don't need to feel guilty over this. This was never meant to be anything. You saved us a lot of headache there-

No, please listen! I….. have done you wrong. I will take responsibility for it. I will make this right, I promise you!

Please, let me leave. This is just getting embarrassing now. Let me leave, you won't hear from me again. We'll go our separate ways and forget that whatever that we had, it neve happened. That's the only solution now.

Oh, please just….. listen! There are just too many things to consider. Too much pressure to deal with-

And you thought getting rid of me would make it better? I don't want to be someone's headache, Fleur! You just said you don't want me and I am reasonable enough to understand that I have overstayed my welcome.

I didn't want to hurt you, Harry. It was never my inten-

But you have!

Yes, I have. I have made quite a mess of things, haven't I? Between us.

Oh, hello Harry, ahh how about you fuck off now, eh? You have served your purpose and it has been good ,you know, but I would rather you fuck off, no offense. But do keep in contact though just so I don't feel guilt over hurting you, hmmm?

Fleur giggled but a scratching hoarse sound dominated her tinkling laugh.

This is not funny! What's wrong with you?

(Fleur laughed, the rough nasaling sound still prominent.) When you make it sound like that… .

(Harry stared at her for a little and then he shook his head but she could see his lips twitched.) I guess you could say that....
