Fleur took a deep breath, lets's not get ahead of herself, he could only be looking at her because of her allure, she tried to calm herself down. But Harry has never been affected by the allure, her mind supplied, but he might not be her Harry, the one that she knows and loves.
Even though it is a long shot and it might end very badly for her but Fleur can't help but get her hopes up. As Harry is looking at her Fleur gestures towards the door near her, Harry nods and starts to make his way towards her.
As Harry gets near, Fleur gets up and walks out the door with him following right behind her. She finds an empty chamber for them so they could talk, from the looks of it this appears to be some kind of storage compartment, filled with all manner of things.
Harry enters the room right behind her before closing the door. As he walks inside he takes out his wand and with a causal twirl, casts all kinds of privacy charms on the room. Fleur felt an invisible barrier form around the room, she is once again reminded of how powerful Harry is. With just a single wave of his wand, he easily puts up such strong privacy charms that are just strong as permanently enchanted wards.
These charms are powerful enough that it would probably take an entire squad of professional ward breakers hours to take down these charms that Harry so casually put up. Seeing how easily and skillfully Harry cast these charms then it most likely means that just like her, Harry too has seen the memories in his dreams.
Fleur can't help but be excited at the prospect of once again meeting her love after so long. But she still tries to stay calm in order to not make any mistakes even before confirming that this is really her Harry. She tries to think of a way to confirm his identity but without making it obvious what she is trying to do.
Fleur smiles as she just thought of the perfect way to do this "Harry, I see you are not a little boy anymore. I especially like the lack of glasses, it makes your eyes look all the more beautiful"
Harry's face remains as stoic as ever, not giving anything away but the same can't be said about his magic. As soon as he heard what she said his powerful magic erupted out of him just for a moment before disappearing back into his body like it was never there. Fleur felt like a massive surge of electricity just pass through the air as his magic flared out just for a moment.
This is really him! Fleur wanted to yell as a wave of happiness starts to flow through her entire being. She wants to run towards him and once again take him in her arms. But somehow she managed to hold herself back. While she is beyond happy right now but Harry is confused about this situation as he was clearly not expecting something like this to happen.
While everyone else might not able to see what is going on with Harry when he puts up his mask but Fleur is not everyone else. While she too might not able to read his face when he puts up this mask but the same can't be said about Harry's eyes.
Fleur knows those bright green eyes better than anyone, she has spent countless hours just staring into those green eyes. While others might see the cold unfeeling eyes when Harry puts up his mask but to Fleur those eyes are an open book.
Right now she can clearly see the confusion and tension in Harry's eyes no matter how hard he tries to hide it. Fleur can't help but find Harry's confused look adorable, she wants to poke this bear just to see what would happen.
So without any warning, Fleur fires a hex at Harry but even while in a confused state he sees the spell coming he brings up his wand and in one fluid motion intercepts her spell before easily sweeping the spell side.
Not one to lose Fleur rapidly throws one spell after another at Harry but he easily swats her spells aside as he walks toward her. Seeing that her spells are ineffective and he is getting near, Fleur tries to move back in order to create some distance. But even before she could realise what was happening, a pair of snakes made out of stone had risen out of the ground and coiled themselves around her feet.
The snakes didn't even touch her until she was about to move, that's when the snakes took hold of her legs. How did Harry even transfigure the ground into these snakes? he was clearly using his wand to deflect her spells.
He did it wandlessly! and without her even noticing, she suddenly realised. Harry has gotten even more proficient with wandless magic, far more than she thought was possible.
She tried to vanish the snakes but before she could even move her wand towards the snakes, she is struck by Harry's disarming spell and her wand flew out of her hand and into Harry's left hand.
Just as that happened Harry is already right in front of her, he points his wand at her neck as he twirls her wand in his left hand. Fleur can feel the tip of his wand on her throat.
Fleur is at the mercy of a man but she is not even a little bit scared because it's Harry. She never had to fear anything when she is with him. Even though Harry has her completely at his mercy but still there is not even a hint of malicious intent in his eyes, even now he just looks confused about this whole situation more than anything else.
