TITLE: Closer
AUTHOR: ChArMfAiTh34
PAIRING: Fleur/Hermione.(Mention of Harry/Hermione)
SUMMARY: Hermione had a secret relationship during her third year... &.. Fleur had attended Hogwarts??
NOTE: Soo...This is related from the video I made about Fleur/Hermione. Titled: Closer - Hermione/ Fleur or Harry? Link:
It still follows the storyline of the 4th book I guess... But some parts are still difficult to undersand, even for me so bear with me. Just so it goes with the story, In my Fic, the Triwizard competition takes place during Hermione's fifth year.. and normally wizards graduate from Howarts in their 7th year right? But just make believe that school ends till their 8th year in this one.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own the idea of Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling's does.
Rating: Ummm.. Umm.. I'm not really good with rating so i guess anyone can read it as long as their open minded :))
Author's Note:
This is gonna be my very first Fanfiction ever!!!
But still.. I've written it a couple of years ago already, at maybe year 2008 or something.. So I was really younger then... Hmm.. And I don't even remember the storyline until I re-read it actually... but anyway I just thought it's about time I updated it and put it up here.. So I can move on with new ones.. LoL! And please don't blame me with mistaken word spelling wrong grammar and such.. cause I'm not very good with english and I have very, very low Vocabulary skills.. T^T
So please be mild with me!! :'(
But I do welcome suggestions and improvements.... but please don't be too mean with critiscm.. =C
And Don't be shocked that I keep putting up emoticons like this == "^w^" It just naturally comes out of me! I can't control it.. :((

The Beginning - Chapter One
Hermione was leaving to go back to the Gryffindor common room, while she left Fleur behind.
Fleur was rushed after Hermione. "Hermione, Please don't do this" Fleur called out to her after having chase her through the corridor. Hermione who was too agitated with Fleur didn't want to listen to anything Fleur had to say. She didn't/couldn't even consider listening to her.
Hermione's POV(Past)
My Life was going quite well...
Well, until I met Fleur Isabelle Delacour that is.
That's when I found my life has turned upside down.
It was just my luck that Fleur's sixth year potion class had to happen.. Fleur was a Junior, though she hadn't acquired her Veela traits yet by then. She was still impeccably perfect and graceful. But as any normal schoolgirl was; She was always active; a trouble-maker really and thirsted for attention.
Though she was Very bright, and especially very talented in brewing potions; Fleur somehow thought it amusing to test her little experiment on a random girl that might bring her some thrill. Or maybe even have the poor girl totally fall for her, as it would bring her more attention.
And Lucky for her, she had decided to look in the most common place she would find a girl that would be alone. And soon had chosen to look at the library. And surely she had spotted her target as soon as she had entered.. Hmm... guess who she ended up picking as a test subject? Well? That's a right guess.. it was me.
I was seated somewhere, near the entrance; where my location was where you have to look at the left corner side of the room just right before you completely enter the library or else you would miss it. Eventhough only a few amount of people knew of that place. Those who were always around that knew, knew that; that place was 'reserved for me as My' personal spot in the library. So people would usually stay aloof.
Turning your head to the side would be the only time you would ever catch that hidden row because it was surrounded with the largest Bookshelves that hid its location; you would think it wasn't even there if you weren't t look severely.
That was the place you would always find me in. And it was known to most to never try to bother my place there; As it would make me become very barbaric.
I love that place because it completely covered me from other onlooker while I studied peacefully and the bookshelves around me contained alot of books that had my interest. So I found that place perfect for reading as it would give me privacy and keep me entertained.
So I was quite suprised when I saw a Junior standing across me; on the other edge of 'MY' table. But she seemed to be older than me and I haven't seen her around the library often; I guess she's new here So I just smiled questionningly and stayed silent to be polite. Letting her, hoping she would say something to explain her presence. But she didn't speak, she just simply smiled back shyly and sat down on the chair opposite me.
Fleur's POV(Past)
At last I saw her; My target. She was an underclassman though. I used to see her always hanging out with that famous Potter boy. Hmm... She seems really smart too having all these advanced books sprawled on the table, even I knew they were difficult subjects. But that's just perfect! I guess I'll just trick her into drinking this and it'll be that easy to control her. So I sat down opposite her and introduced myself
"Hello, I am Fleur Delacour. And you Mademoiselle are?" she asked shyly extending her hand across the table for Hermione to shake it. Hermione was still curious of why this Fleur was still here, but in the end she just thought nothing of it and gently shook Fleur's hand "I'm Hermione Granger..."
And that where it all started.
A few weeks later, Hermione had been Fleur's Personal Love Slave and she was told to never reveal their secret relationship. And Fleur never really abused Hermione like asking her to do Perverted things, she just kept it in a minimum. Like A few feverish kisses and groping. And sooner after thatFleur became really drawn to Hermione. She started to fall in Love with her, and then she had started to feel really guilty. So she finally decided to stop drugging Hermione with the potion and confront Hermione about eveything, even her Confession of her feelings.
She was quite suprised that Hermione took everything appeasingly well. And Fleur was forgiven. Soon after that Hermione accepted on Fleur courting her, but secretly though. Hermione swore to herself that even Harry and Ron that were like her brothers wouldn't know about their relationship.
But Fleur thought of their relationship differently...
Fleur's POV(Past)
It was just a secret relationship between us. But during Her third year I became frustrated that we always had to hide whenever we were together or even just kissed. And my friends kept pestering me why I hadn't been dating... And people knew how I loved popularity when I was a Kid. Cause I wasn't used to the stares yet cause I still didn't acquire my inhumanly good looks from my veela traits yet. But I was pretty enough to get any boy I wanted from this school. But I didn't want to. Cause I didn't want any boy. I just wanted.. Just Hermione...
But still I couldnt say anything whenever I was with her, and when she wasn't with me she was just hanging out with those boys. I wouldn't know what else they were doing behind closed doors of the gryffindor common room. I'd just silently curse to my self. I was so jealous of Hermione always hanging out with that boy who lived. She seemed to friendly with him; even when she said he was just like a brother. I couldn't handle it anymore. So one day I spilled everything I really felt to Her and what I had wanted to happen... To simply make our relationship be known...
*************But she didn't agree to my decision this time
Hermione's POV
When she confessed about what was on her mind, I wasn't planning for something like that, I really hadn't thought about it that much... I mean, I like her, I really do. I care for her dearly, but I don't think it's love. Is it?..
So I wasn't planning on coming out honestly. I thought it was fine just the two of us, why does she want our relationship to be known.. I got so confused. I don't understand why she wanted us to be known. I knew that Fleur was in her sixth year and she just had two years left before she would be leaving school. But to me that was a lot to take in and I still had five long years to finish and I didn't want to ruin that by being labeled a Lesbian.
She said she had wanted this a long time ago and wanted her friends to know about me and to stop guys from hitting on her.. And then, I couldn't deal with it, I don't want it to be like that.. I just suddenly thought it wasn't a very smart Idea, she didn't agree and I had the urge to end it..
After their conversation; Hermione left Fleur without even considering her feelings of rejection. She walked away feeling immensly confused and thought that she would just sleep it of today and think of it tomorrow. Just as she was about to enter the Portrait she stopped at the entrance to took a last look at Fleur. Who just stood there weakly, barely holding herself upright. So she took aid holding on to the wall. Hermione sighed at the sight of Her. She hesitatingly added in a soft voice "Please don't try to betray me or speak a word to my friends about this..."
Hermione gave out a last sigh then continued to the Entrance. But she was suprised to be stopped abruptly as two sharply clawed hands pulled her away from the portrait clutching her wrists harshly it bleeded a little, she was then brought face to face with a Derranged looking Fleur.
"Hermione, you should stop. It will only hurt more if you struggle" she pointed out. But Hermione wouldn't stop trying to get loose from Fleur. "Fine suit yourself, just listen then. I told you I love you."
"I Love You" she said even more convincingly "And you know that I can't control it."
"I've started to gain my Veela traits and you can see it yourself. My nails are growing sharper.. My face is also changing differently I presume. I have becoming more graceful as I am changing at a faster pace specifically My heart. It is Changing rapidly. It is aching wildly because it has chosen a mate. It has chosen you.." she explained.
"Don't you understand? Do you think I am just going to be able to let you go." she asked darkly her voice also changing.
"I can never be seperated from you. I can only love you. It's in my blood to know who I must love and who my soulmate is. So it is only foolish of you to try and leave me" Fleur informed her possessively yet lovingly but still had a sharp edge to her voice.
And only smirked at Hermione's weak attempt to escape. As she only held more tightly at Hermione's already slightly bleeding wrists as Hermione had continued to struggle from the pain.
After five seconds had passed, Hermione stopped her struggling and weakly tried to pulled her wrists from Fleur for the last time. But failed as Fleur would only tighten her grip. So she gave up and decided to look at Fleur in the eyes and was suprised to see it has turned firery gold rather than blue.
With a effort filled straight face she shakingly said. "I can never do that Fleur." she gulped down the lump in her throat " I can't risk everything for you, I never said I had loved you..." at that Fleur's grip on her loosen and she took that chance to pull her arms away and clutched at her bleeding wrists to lessen the pain.
Hermione turned her back to Fleur and attempted to damage Fleur with her words "See what you did to me. You think I could ever love someone like you?" she added simply. "I simply thought of experimenting with an upperclassman. You mean absolutely nothing to me!" she spat.
Fleur was frozen. She coudn't speak, she was shocked with what Hermione had said. And just returned to her senses when Hermione had showed signs to leave.
Fleur ran up to her and pushed her up against the nearby wall and was breathing in slow but deep breaths "Hermione..." she breathed out. " Please... Don't.." she whispered desperately.
Hermione pushed her off before she could say anything else to change her mind. "I'm sorry Fleur. I don't want you, anymore..." said Hermione looking back at Fleur's Hollow eyes. She was quite shocked to see it like that, just dead. But decided to dismiss it and simply stood there silently.
As Hermione soon saw no reason to be standing there anymore. She turned to leave but shot Fleur a last pitiful look "Bye, Fleur..." she whispered.
As Hermione turned away. Fleur had woke up from her frozen state. she clutched of the back of Hermione's robe. "Hermione.." Fleur said with exhaution.. Hermione didn't look at her and brushed tried to brush Fleur off. Confused and Hurt Fleur took out her wand and sharply pulled Hermione away again.
Hermione looked at her simply not believing Fleur would do anything to her. "What are you doing?.."she asked simply. But Fleur stayed silent. "Fleur just stop it! Right Now! You're not in the right conditon.. or mind!" Hermione yelled at her and pushed her aside angrily and walked back to the portrait getting impatient to leave.
Fleur eyes were already dry and red. Her hands were shaking she balled them into fists untill her knuckles were white. She couldn't really think straight, all that was on her mind right now was 'she's leaving...' she pointed her wand at Hermione and spoke the spell she burning in her tongue. "Imperio.."
Hermione stood there feeling immensely relaxed, only dimly aware that Fleur was watching her. And then she heard Fleur's voice, echoing in some distant chamber in her empty brain: Don't go.. you have no one else but me... Hermione listened as Fleur continued. Be mine... forever... Then Hermione just felt empty, the echoing feeling in her head disappeared.
Fleur wasn't moving she just stood there she had stopped as she realized what she was doing. she lowered her wand in shock. Hermione looked at her wide eyed in huge disbelief. " How.. how could you, how could you go as far as using something horrible as an unforgivable curse, what's wrong with you!" she yelled with tears in her eyes.
"I... I'm.. I didn't know what I was doing.. I was.. Hermione... this was not what.." stuttered Fleur shaking her head. She covered her face with her hands and carelessly dropped her wand then she just sat limply on the floor. Hermione didn't want to believe what Fleur did, but this was out of their hands.
She had to report this to the teachers cause it was an unforgivable curse that was casted on her. So she turned around and walked away as she left Fleur on the floor crying. Knowing that she would be expelled for what she had done.
