Boo! Ok here is another chapter and remember to review or I'm not going to update.
(Disclaimer: I do not own the characters in this story except Professor Angelus XD. She is mine so BACK OFF .)
Umm and to that reviewer that said that my characters were a bit OOC. Yeah I know, for the first couple of chapters I kinda wanted it like that. I'm sure Hermione will be more Hermioney now that school is back. Thanks for your review though mate.

Chapter 3
Prophecies
General POV
Thousands of burning candles hovered in the air over the great hall. The gentle crackling of their small flames echoed over the hall as McGonnagall and the other teachers sat on the chairs at the very front table. Their heads bowed as a sign of respect for the fallen Headmaster. Small beady tears slipped from their eyes as a soft melody echoed through the hall.
Hermione sat at the Head Girl's place on the table. Soft tears streamed down her face as Fleur sang the Veela song of sorrow. Her voice echoed through the hall as she finally stopped singing and sat down at the spot near Hermione.
"Thank you for that Ms Delacour," McGonnagall said blinking away the tears that clouded her vision. Fleur gave a small nod and a new silence was brought upon the great hall. Without the soft humming of the flames above you would be able to hear Hermione's soft whimpers.
"Hush it iz ok now," Fleur whispered putting her hand under the table and holding Hermione's. Hermione nodded and wiped away the tears streaking down her face.
"Since the departure of Albus, we must take into fact that Hogwarts shall undergo many changes. One would be the new professors. Professor Delacour and Professor Angelus," McGonnagall said her face now showing the usual blankness. Hermione looked down the table and saw a new face, she sat there with long black hair that framed her pale face. Hermione turned her head and looked at Fleur, she gave her hand a squeeze and Fleur looked up.
"Let us eat," McGonnagall announced snapping her fingers and watching as plate after plate appeared along the table.
Dinner went along with small conversations here and there about various topics. Hermione let out a yawn and stood to get up, she nodded her head at the teachers and Fleur followed her out of the hall.
"Heya," A voice called, Hermione and Fleur both turned to see the new Professor walking up to them with a grin plastered on her face.
"You must be Professor Angelus," Hermione said outstretching her hand. Angelus nodded and grasped Hermione's hand before pulling her into a hug. Hermione feebly returned the gesture and pulled back to notice Angelus's eyes were a deep crimson.
"The great Hermione, they tell me you're the smartest witch to ever grace Hogwart's halls." Angelus said giving Hermione and Fleur a large grin. Hermione blushed and fidgeted with her robes.
"I wouldn't say that, if everyone else actually put the time and effort into studying instead of lollygaging around like buffoons… " Hermione muttered before giving Angelus a sheepish grin and looking down at the ground.
"Oh the rumors are true, well I better be off, I shall see you two around." Angelus said before giving them a wave and walking off with long powerful strides.
"Ah that one iz strange oui," Fleur muttered taking Hermione's arm and walking up to their quarters. Hermione nodded and walked with Fleur to Rowena who was giggling as they approached.
"Oooh that new professor she is a real looker isn't she ladies." Rowena said giggling and raising her eyebrows suggestively.
"Infinity," Hermione said rolling her eyes and crawling through the now opened portrait.
"So, everyone iz coming back tomorrow." Fleur started sitting down on the lounge and patting the spot next to her for Hermione.
"I guess so, Fleur. Thank you for what you did for me tonight." Hermione said sitting down and getting pulled into an embrace.
"It was nothing, I'm sorry I didn't do more." Fleur whispered drawing small circles on Hermione's back.
"He was such a good person Fleur, he saw the good in everyone." Hermione mumbled tears falling onto Fleur's neck.
"Come on Hermione, let us go to bed." Fleur whispered pulling out her wand and whispering a small "wingardium leviosa."
"Oh Fleur put me down, come on let me go." Hermione said letting a small giggle escape her lips as Fleur flew her up the stairs. Fleur gently put her down on the bed and walked over to the side of the bed.
"Robes please," Fleur ordered extending her hand.
"What?" Hermione asked her eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
"Give me your robes, and I shall get you something to sleep in oui?" Fleur said a perfect smile gracing her lips.
"Fleur I can dress myself," Hermione said letting out a small giggle.
"Nonsense, now hand them over or it iz detention." Fleur said a smirk creeping onto her face. Hermione's jaw dropped and she quickly undid her thick robe and passed it to Fleur. Fleur nodded and walked over to her bed. Hermione took her boots off and placed them next to the bed.
"Wait Fleur, my trunk is over here. What are you doing?" Hermione asked watching the Veela walk back over with a silky material in her fingertips.
"It iz a very rare material that all Veela have, it looks very thin but I guarantee it iz the warmest thing you shall ever have." Fleur said placing the smooth dress on Hermione's lap before turning back around and putting on her own sleeping material.
"But why?" Hermione asked slipping into her new pajamas. Fleur just smiled and crawled into the bed.
"Last night, I realized that you don't have proper night ware. And besides, this iz very comfortable oui?" Fleur said pulling Hermione close to her and draping her arm around her waist.
"It's perfect Fleur, thank you." Hermione said leaning over and resting her head on Fleur's chest. The rhythmic beating of her heart sent shivers down her spine.
"Mmm you smell good enough to eat," Hermione said breathing in deeply to catch the vanilla scent.
"You like vanilla?" Fleur asked smiling down at the almost asleep witch.
"On you yes," Hermione replied letting out a small yawn.
"Goodnight Hermione sweet dreams my love," Fleur whispered planting a chaste kiss on her forehead. Hermione looked into Fleur's soft eyes and smiled.
"Goodnight Fleur," Hermione said reaching up and planting a kiss on her cheek. Their eyes caught briefly before Hermione rested back on Fleur's chest.
A figure watched from its high perch on the top of the castle. It watched the two witches with a smirk on its face. It looked up at the moon and let out a sigh, before stretching out its wings and flying off.
'I'll be back for you, if you don't come to me first'
Hermione awoke her eyes fluttering open to look up at a very peaceful Fleur. Realizing what day it was Hermione's eyes grew wide.
"Fleur, wake up. Everyone is coming back today." Hermione said gentle shaking the sleeping Veela.
"Mmm, no Gabrielle…." Fleur mumbled letting out a groan as Hermione detached herself from the
Veela.
"Oh no, where oh where did I misplace my bra, it sure is cold." Hermione said with a smirk that would rival Malfoy's.
"Good try mes ami, but you must remember if I wanted to get your bra off I could." Fleur said opening her eyes and sitting up.
"Oh like you could," Hermione said rolling her eyes and turning around to change into her new robes. 'Is it that obvious that she could,' Hermione thought shaking her head.
"How was your sleep?" Fleur asked getting up from the bed and putting on her robes.
"Great thanks to you," Hermione said grinning at Fleur. Hermione's brain slowly ticked before she realized what she just said. "Err great thanks to you because you gave me that dress." Hermione quickly added tying up her robes and pulling out her wand. Hermione mumbled a few words and her bed hair went back to its silky smooth state.
"Come on, we better go down." Fleur said holding her hand out, Hermione quirked an eyebrow at this gesture.
"Umm," Hermione said staring at the outstretched hand. Fleur frowned for a second before walking down stairs. Hermione cursed quietly and jogged after Fleur. Fleur was about to step into the portrait before she felt Hermione's hand wrap around her own. Fleur turned her head and smiled before climbing through and entering the long corridor.
"I'm sorry," Hermione said giving Fleur's hand a squeeze.
"Don't worry about it mes ami," Fleur muttered smiling at the young witch. The two walked out of the common room and gave Rowena a wink before giggling and going down to the great hall.
"Hey you two!" A voice called stopping Hermione and Fleur from walking through the great hall doors.
"Oh good morning Professor Angelus," Hermione said giving Angelus a small smile. Hermione dropped Fleur's hand and gave the new Professor a hug.
"Shall we then?" Fleur said giving the other two a scowl. Hermione nodded and followed Fleur into the Great Hall. Hermione took her seat next to Fleur at the table as McGonnagall took her spot in the center.
"All the students are coming here tonight for the grand feast and the sorting. I have an announcement, the new head of Gryffindor this year. Will be a shock to you all." McGonnagall started, this got many raised eyebrows and tilts of the head.
"I'm sorry Fleur," Hermione whispered reaching out for her hand. Fleur looked at her and sighed, Hermione pulled back and gave Fleur a frown.
"The new head of Gryffindor taking my place, is not a professor. It is no other than our Head Girl Hermione Granger." McGonnagall said raising her glass for a toast.
"A toast to the new head of Gryffindor, we wish her the best of luck." McGonnagall added, everyone drank their drink and began clapping. Hermione sat there like a deer in headlights. She looked at Fleur who just looked away and out of the corner of her eye she saw Angelus smiling at her.
Breakfast finished and Fleur was taken with McGonnagall. Hermione took this opportunity to learn about the new Potions master, Professor Angelus.
"Congratulations Ms. Granger," Angelus said running up to Hermione once breakfast was finished.
"Thank you Professor, would you like to join me in my quarters?" Hermione asked, Angelus nodded and followed Hermione up the staircases. Hermione's gaze shifted over at Angelus, she was still smiling and now humming a soft tune. They approached the portrait where a giddy looking Rowena stood.
"Ooh I told you she was a real looker, taking my advice…" Rowena was cut off by a very loud "INFINITY!" from Hermione. Rowena swung upon and the two crawled into the room breathing in the musky vanilla scent that had accumulated due to extensive vanilla products.
"What's up with your portrait?" Angelus asked quirking an eyebrow and sitting on the lounge.
"She has some sick idea that Fleur and I are well, together." Hermione said scowling at the portrait hole.
"And are you?" Angelus asked a small grin tugging at her lips.
"No! no we are good friends." Hermione muttered suddenly claming up.
"Hmm ok then, so how are you?" Angelus asked stretching out on the long lounge.
"Good, and you?" Hermione replied sitting down on the lounge.
"I'm wonderful, it's a lovely school you have here." Angelus said her eyes wide as she took in the surroundings. Hermione nodded and the two started a very long conversation on schoolwork and future assessments. By the time they had finished it was a quarter to six and the school of the new year would be pouring through Hogwart's doors.
"Come on Professor we can't be late," Hermione said standing up and walking over to the hole.
"Yes lead the way," Angelus muttered standing up and stretching before following Hermione out of the hole and down the stairs.
"Ah I see you have finally decided to join us." A voice purred through the hallway, Hermione turned and was face to face with the smirking Veela.
"Fleur what's gotten into you, she is just my friend. Honestly if I didn't know any better I would think that your jealous." Hermione whispered looking into the Veela's eyes, Fleur sniggered and held out her arm.
"Come now, we can make our entrance." Fleur said looking at the grand doors.
"We all can," Angelus muttered taking Hermione's other arm. Fleur glared at Angelus and walked forward taking long powerful strides.
The hall buzzed with students, there was a momentary pause as the great hall doors opened making a small thud as they hit the wall. Angelus, Hermione and Fleur strode through the hall walking in between the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw tables. They walked up to the grand table where they sat down. Hermione sat in between Fleur and Blaise.
"Good evening Hermione," Blaise whispered making eye contact with the witch.
"What? No mudblood or Granger?" Hermione asked a scowl on her lips.
"Look Hermione, we as the Heads have to set an example and I never called you a mudblood." Blaise hissed through gritted teeth. Hermione sat there baffled, it was true, they did have to set an example. His words rang through her head until McGonnagall stood up and demanded silence. The room grew still besides the still burning candles hovering over them. She started with a welcome speech and finally introduced the sorting hat.
"So here we are after all these years,
Tonight will end with claps and cheers,
But tonight starts a new prophecy,
That two of you were meant to be,
Fight away the dark embrace the light,
These two will always fight,
Look around can you see,
Can you guess who will it be,
Is it a Gryffindor who stands mighty and tall,
Is it a Slytherin who will make evil fall,
Is it Ravenclaw with the wittiest ones,
Or is it a Hufflepuff who are our loyal chums,
And with that I bid you farewell,
Will the prophecy unravel only time will tell".
The sorting hat finished its song with a loud applause and many raised eyebrows. The sorting took place with 8 students in Gryffindor, 5 in Slytherin, 5 in Ravenclaw and 6 in Hufflepuff. McGonnagall warned the students about the Forest and Whomping Willow before snapping her fingers and filling the hall with all the dishes.
"A prophecy sounds pretty cool," Blaise said buttering his roll.
"It probably just said that to give the first years a thrill. There are no records about any Prophecies in this school whatsoever. And I would know," Hermione said rolling her eyes and reaching for her pumpkin juice. Blaise just stared at her before shrugging and biting into his roll. The feast finished and the Heads were allowed to go see their friends.
" 'Mione! Wow you look brilliant," Ron said standing up to give her a hug. Hermione quirked an eyebrow at Ron and he quickly dropped the roll he was holding and stepped forward giving the girl a hug.
"Oh Hermione, wow you do look great!" Harry exclaimed stepping forward and embracing the girl.
"Hey guys, so how have you two been." Hermione said smiling at the two boys that kept grinning.
"Great," They both replied, Hermione nodded and turned to see a very shocked Ginny staring at her.
"Woah Hermione, just woah. Oh my merlin you look soooo hot!" Ginny yelled running forward and giving the girl a bear hug.
"Yeah thanks guys, well I'll see you all later I have to go back up to the table." Hermione said before giving her three friends a wave and striding back up to the table and sitting down.
"How are you friends?" Fleur asked giving Hermione a side glance before sipping her butterbeer.
"Good," Hermione replied brushing the non existent dust off her robes.
"Now that the feast is over, I have another announcement. There is a new Head of Gryffindor, Hermione Granger shall be taking the position and I wish her the best of luck. And now I bid you all farewell and I ask the prefects to lead the younger students to the common rooms." McGonnagall said before turning to leave the hall. A large cheer from the hall erupted many wolf whistles and cat calls were thrown at the head table.
"Come on we should go," Fleur said standing up and offering her arm. Hermione smiled and took it before walking out of the hall and ignoring all the stares and glares from the hall. They approached Rowena who was giggling and pointing at the two.
"Why hello there Head of Gryffindor and Professor Delacour." Rowena said curtsying and giving them both a wink.
"Infinity," Hermione said rolling her eyes at Rowena.
"Not today sweetie, there is a new password." Rowena said with a large grin plastered on her face.
"Godric," Fleur said, Rowena scowled before swinging open. Hermione and Fleur's jaws dropped as they looked into a practically new room.
There before them was a red and gold room with doors leading into a new library. A training room, a bathroom and their bedroom, each decorated with the same red and gold. The common room was elegant and then some, with a new lounge and three surrounding chairs. They were filled with pillows and a roaring fire was sitting in front of it. The bathroom was just as big as the last with the same statue except everything was made out of crystal and their were so many faucets that Hermione couldn't be bothered going after fifty nine.
"I can't believe it," Hermione whispered as she walked into her new bedroom where two four poster beds stood. The entire room was made out of a magical crystal so they could see out but no one in. There was a balcony to the side where they overlooked the lake and the forest.
"So this is what the Head of Gryffindor gets," Fleur said smiling at their new living quarters.
"Hermione, what did you do when I had to go with McGonnagall?" Fleur asked her lips pursed into a straight line.
"Professor Angelus and I came up here and we discussed potions and Hogwarts." Hermione said shrugging like it was everyday business.
"I don't want to see you around Angelus," Fleur said a cold glare creeping onto her face.
"What has gotten into you Fleur, why are you acting so jealous." Hermione said stepping forward and brushing Fleur's shoulder before Fleur ripped away.
"I'm not! At least I don't run about flaunting myself to everyone." Fleur yelled at the now fuming Hermione.
"Are you serious! Fleur the Veela that everyone wants a piece of. And probably has gotten, you flaunt yourself like there is not tomorrow! The only reason I thought we could be friends is because I thought you could be yourself around me." Hermione screamed back, Fleur's gaze hardened and her first scrunched into tight balls.
"I am being myself! This is all your fault if you hadn't gone and cheated on me with that slut!" Fleur yelled her eyes widening at what she just said.
"Cheating on you?" Hermione asked the anger now fleeting her body.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have said anything. It iz late I should go to bed." Fleur said looking away and stepping over towards her bed. Fleur stiffened as arms snaked around her waist. She turned around to feel soft lips against her own. Fleur's heart raced as she wrapped her arms around Hermione's neck and felt a tingling sensation through her body. A golden flash entered the room as two crimson snake like objects wrapped around the two girls before sinking into their bodies and disappearing.
Hermione pulled back and stumbled. She let out a yawn before kicking off her shoes and taking off her robes. She slid under the ruby red sheets and closed her eyes. Fleur still standing there felt a sudden wave of tiredness and she stripped down to her bra and panties before slipping under the same golden sheets and pulling Hermione over towards her. She wrapped her arms around the young witch and felt Hermione nuzzle into her neck.
"Goodnight mon amour," Fleur whispered before planting a kiss on Hermione's head and drifting off to sleep.
