Fleur Isabelle Delacour was sitting in an empty booth in a new wizarding hotel bar called 'The Hallows' in Diagon Alley. She was on her fourth cup of Firewhiskey, her mind wondering back to a petit witch. A witch she believed was her soul mate, but Fleur Isabelle Delacour was no Gryffindor, and didn't have the courage to seek this certain witch out. She was convincing herself that she was doing fine, that her drinking was no issue, but even her drunk mind was doubtful.
After a while, she started remembering the events leading to her situation. Her Hermione left her after the war, to seek peace. She left in a broken car, moved to the city. Cut all her ties to the wizarding world. It was like Hermione Granger did not exist. Hermione left and took Fleur's heart with her. That was four years ago. Since then she hadn't contacted her, no owls, no floo calls, no nothing.
Suddenly, while staring into space, someone cleared his throat and said "is this seat taken?" Fleur could never forget that voice, her blood chilled. "Hermione Granger?" "nice to see you too Fleur, you look pretty, I've missed you." With a hardened voice Fleur replied "if my memory serves me correctly, I remember that you were the one who left, who just took off and went away." Hermione, expecting this said "I had to find myself again, find my parents, sort out some things" then slyly "and learn quite a few things, which I hope I'd be able to show you" Fleur wasn't sure if it was her or the alcohol speaking but she said " well professor Granger, I'm eager to learn the new skills you've acquired". Hermione, nodding " my Range Rover is in the parking, let me escort you" "I didn't know you could afford a Range Rover" was all what Fleur said. Smirking, Hermione answered her " there are lots of thing you're gonna find out".
The trip to the car was silent, but once they settled Fleur said " is the tattoo on your shoulder supposed to be one of the things I'm gonna find out?" "probably" was all what Hermione said. Arriving to Hermione's flat, Fleur could see that it was new, and some of her things were still unpacked. "sorry for the mess, but I came seeking you out immediately once I rented an apartment" to the Fleur remained silent. But then, she spotted something in the corner, shocked of what she saw " this that the same goddamned mattress that you stole from that Patil girl?" "great memory ma belle, perhaps you'd like to relive some of our memories that we made on that mattress? I- " Fleur didn't wait for her to continue her sentence, she jumped on the goddamned mattress and pulled Hermione closer.
