It never ceased to amaze Fleur how the weather in England always seemed the same. Gloomy, cold, and the rain seemed to be endless.

It never occurred to her why she stayed. The only thing that kept her was the dashingly handsome Bill Weasley, but she found out quick that looks are only half the equation.

The young woman kept to herself, for the most part, she goes to work, goes home and rarely goes out. Dating was out of the question and her only companion was her cat. But she liked it and didn't want to change it, but life works in funny ways.

"Damn that bastard for keeping me late,"

Fleur held her coat tight to her body as snow continued to fall from the sky. It was a little past midnight and she would be snuggled into her bed on a normal night but she was forced to stay late. Her house was still a fair walk away and the snow seemed to get worse and worse.

"Goddammit, there's no way I can make it home in this weather, I need to get inside before I freeze to death,"

She looked back but realize that Gringotts was a far distance and all the businesses have been closed for a long time. She took out her wand and attempted to cast a spell to warm her up but it was too cold for her to concentrate.

As if it was a gift from God, the young woman noticed a faint light in the distance. She quickly ran over to the light and the closer she got, she realized it was a pub. Much to her relief, the place was still open.

Fleur quickly got inside and the warm air instantly hit her. She relaxed and released a long breath. Looking around, she realized the place was rather small. Only a few tables and a counter. There was a fireplace in the corner but it was off and the place was being lit up by lights on the ceiling. There was light jazz playing and the pub smelled of pine trees in autumn.

It also occurred to her that there was no one in this place, not even a bartender, she was relieved however by that fact. The young woman made it over to the counter and sat down. She took off her coat and rested it on her lap.

She suddenly heard footsteps and placed her hand on her wand. A door from behind the counter opened and a young man walked out. The French woman relaxed and let out a breath of relief.

"Sorry, I was in the back. What may I get you?" This young man looked familiar but Fleur couldn't place where she met him before. He was handsome with jet black hair and a skinny face. He wore thin glasses his eyes were a bright emerald green.

"Just a water, please,"

He handed her the glass and gave her a small smile.

"'ow much do I owe you?"

"It's on the house, it's just a glass of water,"

"Zank you,"

Fleur noticed the young man looking at her with a curious look on his face as if he was trying to place her.

"Iz everyzing alright?"

"I don't know but you look familiar to me,"

She shrugged her shoulder. "I can't answer zat for you," Fleur took a sip of her water.

"Fleur?" She nearly spits out her water.

After a short cough, she looked up at the young man. "'Ow do you know my name?"

"It's me, Harry," It suddenly hit her why he looked familiar, it was Harry Potter. The memory of the day he saved her sister came rushing back and as she looked at him, she realized how much he has changed since they last saw each other. At her wedding.

"Oh my God, Arry?"

He chuckled. "That's me,"

"What 'appened to you? You changed so much,"

"Thanks, I can say the same to you as well,"

She stood up and hugged him over the counter and he returned it wholeheartedly.

Fleur sat back down.

"It's been a while, last time I saw you, you were in a wedding dress,"

She rolled her eyes. "Please don't mention zat day,"

"Why? Is everything okay with you and Bill?"

"Non, we got divorced 'Arry,"

"What happened?"

"Sometimes peoples are different when you marry zem, zey can change,"

"I see,"

She nodded slowly. "What 'appened to you?"

"Well after I saved the world," Fleur rolled her eyes again with a small chuckle. "I went on to work for the ministry of magic. I got bored with it and quit and around the same time, Ginny wanted to 'take a break' and we ended things there. I decided to lay low for a while and I've been here since. What have you been up to?"

"Well after 6 months of marriage wiz William, we got divorced, he decided zat he would find a different job and transferred to some place in America. I stayed at Gringotts and I moved to my own place. My sister stayed with me for a bit before she wanted to travel the world and now I currently live alone wiz my cat,"

"I never took you for a cat lady," he teased.

"And I assume you live wiz someone, Monsieur Potter?"

"Actually I live alone but it's better than being a cat lady,"

"I will 'ave you know zat he is a very fine conversation partner,"

"I bet he is,"

For the next 2 hours, the pair continued to share stories about their lives from the past three years. From the mundane to the exciting. Soon, it was time to close the bar.

Harry walked the young woman home and gave her his coat as an extra layer of warmth. From that day, Fleur continued to visit him every night and every night he walked her home. They did this routine for months, there are days when their hands might intertwine a bit. Then there are days where Fleur puts a little more effort into her hair, there are days where she puts her hair behind her ears and looks away with a blush. There are days when he would have his arms around her and there are days where they share something special.

Then there was that one day where she invited him in late at night for "coffee". There was that day he bought a ring that was worth more than what he would make in a year. There was that day where he got on one knee and asked a very important question. There was that day where she said two words that would change their lives forever.

Sometimes life works in funny ways.

Guess what, I'm still alive and somewhat very rarely active on here. Long story short, school is the main reason why. What else? Oh, just pure laziness. For those who remember the good old day with my first story, I often did one-shots as a filler for the main chapters. This isn't one of them, this is just me writing again to see how it feels and it feels good. I will be doing another large story. Sooner or later. I will try to be more active with the main story if I can't be then I would put out one-shots. Thank you for those who have reviewed and stayed around. I'm back and I want to put out high-quality contents for all of you.
