Chapter 10:

Everyone left to go hunting. The only ones at the house were Fleur, Esme and Hermione.

They were sitting on the couch, talking for hours when Fleur turned to Hermione.

"Hermione, you never mentioned how you changed. If you don't mind, would you tell me?"

Hermione smiled lovingly, "I don't mind but it is a rather long story."

"I have time." Fleur said

Hermione smiled, "Well, I was walking home in the woods and I got lost. I'm not sure how long I was out there. I heard a noise and got scared. Something told me I was in danger. I ran in no particular direction; I just wanted to get away. And that's when I saw him…the Dark Lord. I knew there was no point in running. He had me. I was at his mercy. We locked eyes and before I realized it, he casted a spell on me. I don't know what it was because he mumbled it. I just remember being in excruciating pain. My blood was all over. It felt like I was lying there for days but I was only there for a minute from what Esme told me. I looked up and saw her. She said everything was going to be okay and not to worry. She changed me and that pain was worse than the spell that was casted on me. I woke up on a bed with the Cullens looking at me. At first I forgot what happened. I had a moment of amnesia. Slowly, my memories started to come back and they taught me all there is to know about being a vampire."

Fleur's heart ached just thinking about what Hermione having to go through that. She wanted to torture the Dark Lord for making her love suffer.

"I'm sorry, Hermione." Fleur said

Hermione smiled and put her arm around Fleur, "It's alright. I'm beyond happy now."

Fleur's heart fluttered.

Everyone came through the front door, finished hunting.

They all sat down in the same room…well almost everyone. Rosalie walked up to her and Emmett's room without even glancing at Fleur.

Fleur felt sad that Rosalie didn't like her. She barely acted like she existed. She didn't know why she was being ignored but she wanted to find out.

Fleur managed to hold in a yawn but it didn't go unnoticed by the Cullens.

"I do believe it is time for the human to sleep." Esme said with a smile.

"Oh, no. I'm fine."

Jasper smiled, "She must be bored with us, then."

Fleur eyes widened, "No! I-"

Bella smiled and patted her leg, "You have to learn that we love to tease and joke around. Not all vampires are so serious, wanting to kill everything in sight and angry all the time."

"Except my wife." Emmett muttered.

"I will take her to bed." Hermione said, grabbing Fleur's hand and leading her up to the bedroom.

"I bet you will." Emmett whispered. With that comment, he received a few blows from the Cullens. If Fleur had heard that, she would blush horribly. Hermione gave him a disapproving look.

Hermione opened the door to her bedroom, "I managed to find a bed for you. I hope it is to your liking."

Fleur was touched. It was a king sized bed that looked so comfortable.

"Thank you Hermione." Fleur hugged Hermione.

She didn't notice Hermione stiffen. Hermione tried not to sniff her. Fleur's scent was ecstasy to her. Fleur didn't want to let her go but she did.

"Hermione it's not fair for me to kick you out of your room."

"I volunteered. There is no way I'm letting you sleep anywhere else. I consider it an honor and a privilege for you to sleep in my room." Hermione said with a smile.

Fleur smiled and kept her tears at bay.

"I will see you in the morning, Fleur. I will be thinking about you all night."

Hermione smiled and left, closing the door behind her.

Fleur got ready for bed and got under the covers. She couldn't sleep and she knew why. She hated knowing Rosalie didn't like her, or perhaps hate her.

Knowing she wouldn't get any sleep, she decided to handle the problem. After all, Rosalie would probably be her……..sister in-law.

She got up and headed toward her room. Thankfully, she didn't see anyone in sight. She reached Rosalie's door. She debated whether she should knock. If she were to knock, everyone would probably hear it. If she didn't knock…who knows what would happen. Thinking it would be better for her health, she knocked softly but loud enough. After a while she decided to knock again after no one answered.

Fleur decided to head back to bed. She would talk to her tomorrow. She turned around and was startled to see Bella there.

"Looking for Rosalie?" Bella asked in a melodic voice.

"Yes, but she's probably not there." Fleur said nervously.

Bella smiled, sympathetically. She wrapped her arm over Fleur's shoulder. "Listen, I know what it's like not having Rosalie's approval. Before I was human, I was scared shitless of her. But as time went on, she eased up on me. We came to an understanding. It will take her awhile but she'll warm up to you."

Fleur nodded, "Thanks Bella."

"Not a problem. I'm always here if you need me." Bella said and left

Fleur sighed and headed back to her room. It took her a while but she managed to fall asleep.

Fleur woke up took her shower, got dressed and ready for the day. She went down the stairs and was greeted by everybody.

Esme had made her a huge breakfast. Fleur's mouth dropped at the sight of it.

"I didn't know what you liked, so I cooked everything that I knew people ate for breakfast." Esme said and smiled sheepishly.

Fleur was stunned, "Thank you. Really, I'm not a picky eater."

After Fleur was done eating, Hermione walked up to her and held out her hand, "Come with me. I haven't had the luxury of enjoying just us."

Fleur smiled and took Hermione's hand. "I'll follow you anywhere."

Hermione smiled and led her outside.

Author's note: The next chapter will be more centered on Fleur and Hermione romance. I will get that up as soon as I can. Please review.
