Summary: Everyone has an idea of what a Veela is, but once you get to know a Veela a little more, it turns out they were nothing what you thought they were. Hermione finds out that they can be persistent, possessive, jealous, controlling, obsessive, aggressive, protective and dominant.

AN: Fleur and Bill were never together. This takes place after the war. The Veela in this story is a little different than the ones in the books. This is femslash, OOC, AU.

Chapter 1:

The hard rain was beating down the window loudly and hard. The sound of the loud thunder was oddly enough comforting me. I shook the ice in my glass cup of scotch before I took another sip. My face scrunched at the awful taste. From my leather seat, I glanced around the living room, taking in the paintings and furniture before my gaze finally found the fireplace. Despite this being a luxurious home, I felt lonely. That doesn't make sense to me because I have good friends.

It doesn't seem that long ago when 'You-know-who' fell. I can still remember it clear as day. I think about all the events during and after that time. Ron and I tried a relationship but it never stuck. Luckily, Harry and Ginny made it and are now married. The three of us, Harry, Ron and I are still best friends and keep in touch. My mouth curved into a smile as I recalled happy memories of them.

After about ten minutes, I decided to call it a night since it was getting pretty late. I got up from my seat, flicked the table lamp off and walked to my room.

Next morning:

I decided to grab a bite at a muggle café. After paying for my breakfast, I grabbed a seat at a table. As I was drinking my coffee, I read the newspaper. A shadow blocking my light caused me to stop reading and look behind me. I couldn't breathe, literally.

I instantly recognized the woman as Fleur Delacour. She wore a pure white button-up shirt that hugged her body, a gold heart-shaped necklace, black slacks made of cotton and black boots. Her waist-length blond hair was shiny and healthy-looking. Her blue eyes were the brightest I've ever seen. The sun shining down on her made her red lip gloss and hair shine even brighter. Her white skin looked flawless, smooth and soft. It was a shame there were no words that could explain her beauty. She stole my breath away.

"Bonjour, 'Ermione." she said

"H-hi." I managed a squeak

"It has been a while, no?" she asked, taking a seat at my table.

"Yeah." I nodded

She gave me a seductive smile. "Too long for my liking." She gave me a wink. I then remembered just how flirtatious she was with me during the war. My heart hammered against my chest. Her voice was husky and sexy.

I nodded again, "Yeah." I mentally kicked myself. Can I say anything else?

She shrugged, "What have you been up to?"

I swallowed…hard. I took a deep breath, "Nothing much. Just work."

Her gaze traced down my body and back again. I did my best not to squirm but I think Fleur knew, for she gave me another seductive smile.

"Ron told me that you got a job at the Ministry. The 'Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creature'?"

I blinked a few times, "That's correct. What about you? Are you still working at Gringotts?"

She shook her head, "No. I…decided to go after something else."

My curiosity peaked, "Really? What were you planning to pursue?"

She leaned on the table with her elbow and placed her chin under her hand. She smiled and wiggled her eyebrows, "You'll find out."

I couldn't help but blush. My heart was still hammering.

"You know, we should really get together sometime." She said

I nodded, "Yeah."

She got up from her seat with a smile; she gave me a kiss on my cheek that was too close to my lips, "I'll see you around 'Ermione."

"W-wait! You need my contact info." I said

She shook her head, "No need. I'll be around." She said and walked off

I was stunned. I noticed my body was shaking.

Why was I feeling like this? I've seen her lots of times and never have I come undone like this! I finished my breakfast and headed off to work.

After a long day of work, I got home and got settled in. After a few more hours of work, I ate and then went to bed. As I lied in bed, I kept thinking about Fleur. Why was she acting like that? Was it nothing? Was it just harmless flirting? Why was I reacting to her?

Instead of dwelling on it, I decided to let it go and fall asleep.

I woke up, got ready, and went to work. I got a note from Ginny and Harry asking to get together, which I gladly accepted.

I met them at a muggle restaurant. I spotted them at a private booth near a window and walked over.

"Hi, guys." I said

"Hey Hermione." Ginny and Harry said

They both got up to hug me and I hugged them back.

"How have you been?" I asked taking a seat across from them.

"Great." Harry said

"What about you?" Ginny asked with a smile.

I shrugged, "Nothing new. Oh! But I did ran into Fleur the other day."

Harry looked surprised and Ginny's eyebrows shot up, "Fleur Delacour?"

I nodded, "Yeah."

"Well…I'm sure that was fun." She said sarcastically

"I don't understand why you're so against her. She's not that bad." I said

Ginny scoffed, "Yes, she is. All she cares about is looks and her image and she is selfish."

"There's nothing wrong with caring about those things." I said

Ginny gave me a confused look, "No, but it is when you care about nothing else."

I shook my head, "I don't believe that's all she cares about."

Ginny's eyebrows scrunched, "Hermione…why are you so insistent on defending her?"

"I'm not." I said before a waitress came to take our order.

When she left, Harry asked, "What did she want?"

I shrugged, "Just to catch up."

Ginny rolled her eyes, "What did you say?"

"I said yes of course."

"Hermione, you know I love you, but I don't think it wise to do that." Ginny said

"Why?" I asked

"Because Veelas are dangerous."

I snorted, "What?"

"It's true Hermione. My brother, Bill found out. They are not what they seem to be. At first glance, they appear normal human beings when actuality, they are hazardous. That's one of the reasons why I despise her."

I shook my head, "I'm still not following Ginny." I heard footsteps and looked to my left to see the waitress coming.

Ginny waited until the she set our drinks down on the table.

When the waitress was out of sight she continued, "Bill told me that when he tried to ask her out, she was adamant about refusing. Despite this, he continued trying. Finally, after a very long time, let's just say she made it clear that the answer will forever be 'no' to him."

"What happened?" I asked, intrigued

"He got a few broken bones. Granted, he may have deserved it for trying to force her to go out with him, but still. You know, he didn't tell me this for a long time. He lied and said he got into a bar fight. I guess he was humiliated that he got beaten up by a girl." Ginny fought off a laugh.

"I don't know a spell specifically used to break bones." I said in deep thought

Harry sighed, "Well that's the thing. She didn't use magic."

My jaw dropped, "She didn't use magic? How did she-?"

"She used her hands." Harry said

I was shocked, "What! A big guy like Bill? That's impossible!"

"Not for a Veela." Harry said

"I didn't read anything like that in books."

"I don't think they would have that info in them. They are very secretive, as you know. That's not only what Veela can do." Ginny said

As if I wasn't shocked enough, "What else?"

She leaned over so she could whisper, "They are super fast. They are so fast they are invisible. Bill never saw it coming. She was a good twenty feet away from him and he barely blinked and she was right in front of him. A Veela's speed is faster than the human eye. Their strength is remarkable. She pinned him up against the wall, hard, breaking his shoulder blade. She slammed her hand next to Bill's head and the wall cracked under her hand. That wall was made up of cement. I guess she did that to scare him. Needless to say, he stopped pursuing her."

It looked like Harry was fighting a smile.

I didn't know what to think. I was floored. Then it hit me, "You're making this up, aren't you?"

Ginny looked offended, "I'm not! Look into my eyes and you'll see."

I did just that and saw she was telling the truth. I put my hands to my face. I couldn't believe this.

Ginny took a sip of her drink, "I use to make it clear that I disliked her but after hearing about Bill…I don't make it as open. I don't believe she would truly hurt someone but then again why run the risk?"

I nodded. I could feel the fear welling up inside of me.

"As if that wasn't scary enough, Veelas seem to not care about anyone except their own." Harry said

My heart dropped. Could Fleur not care about me? A part of me had a huge crush on her, I grudgingly admitted. I even fantasized the idea of being her girlfriend today during work. I was instantly depressed of the idea of her not caring about me. I had thought about asking her out but I decided not to because I didn't know how she felt towards women or if she even liked me.

Ginny nodded, "What else don't we know about Veelas?"

I turned the conversation to a different direction, discussing work and other things.

We ended the night after a few hours, returning to our homes. I didn't get much sleep that night, thinking about Fleur. I didn't think I could be hit this hard. My heart was broken.
