DEFYING GRAVITY
FD/HG
SUMMARY: One trying to become more than what she really is. One trying to become who she can truly be. What happens if their two worlds begin to collide?
PREMISE: Since the story is set after the war, Fleur's way of speaking in Eenglish should have eemproved by now. (^_^)
Harry is 21 years of age in the story, so the timeline is set almost four years after the war.
Fleur started working in the Department of Mysteries, 3 months before Hermione did. Fleur and Bill divorced approximately 2 years after the end of the war. Draco started working in the Department of Mysteries a year after the war, and was promoted as Head of the Department, a year and a half later after starting work.
A bit AU, but I am hoping that with the way I have written the characters they still remain canon.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own anything, except for the plot (^_^) because if I did, Fleur and Hermione will end up with a happily ever after.
Pre-Game Warmup: An Absurdly Long Author's Note
A/N: The story continues, after a year long hiatus, sorry about that. Anyway, I rewrote a lot of the chapters I had already written, just so that it would fit the story as a whole and work with the ending that I had already written. Yey for that! ^^
A few things to take note of, originally I wrote Hermione and Fleur's POV (I don't know the correct term, since it's not in first person) in all of the chapters together, but when I reread the whole thing again, I thought the story would flow better, if Hermione got the first half and Fleur the second half.
These were the following changes I made: I rewrote most of chapters 1 and 2, I added a few things in chapter 1, I wanted the story to have a little bit more than just romance between the two characters when I first drafted it out so long ago, before I lost them all (T_T), hence the chapter started in an alley. As for chapter 2, I had a couple of reviews saying that it started out slow, so I just rewrote the whole thing, but most of the elements in the original chapter 2 is still there. In the new chapter 3, I took the first part of the previous chapter 4 (veela origin) and included it in the new chapter 3 and rewrote most of it. The new chapter 4 is still a working progress, and I'm taking down all the other chapters (5-8) because they were really short.
Oh yeah, I don't have a beta for this story, but I did my best in editing, admittedly editing isn't really a strong point of mine. So, if I missed anything, let me know?
With that said, I strongly recommend that you guys read the fic again and hopefully still like it (X^_^). And to those who are reading the story for the first time, I apologize for the absurdly long Author's Note. As always...
Read it. Praise it. Flame it. Burn it.
