Comment: After I watched Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire Movie, I decided to mix and match the pairings and this is what I got.
"'Ermione?" Fleur says her blue eyes glinting. Fleur had spent everyday in the library watching the younger girl study since she had arrived at Hogwarts.
When Fleur had first arrived at Hogwarts, she was expecting the attention of all the boys as usual but she wasn't expecting to meet anybody special that was until she cast her eyes upon the bushy haired girl.
She was walking while one of her closest friends chattered to her in French and then she saw her, walking with the lanky raven haired boy and the red headed one. She had three books secured under her arm and was walking with her eyes cast upon the floor. The young bookworm had Fleur so flustered; she almost walked right into two other red heads, identical red heads.
It was unusual for anybody to have that effect on Fleur, there had to be something special about this girl that Fleur just couldn't put her finger on, but was desperate to find out.
Fleur had studied the girl's schedule, noting every time she was alone, other times when she was with the two boys. Fleur had wondered which of them was lucky enough to be her boyfriend but she studied their behavior and noticed nothing truly intimate.
One day, she had followed Hermione into the library as she usually would and watched her read, watched all different emotions spread across the girl's face and she couldn't do it anymore, she couldn't just watch her, she had to talk to her. So, she walked up to the girl with her usual confident small and sat down right next to her. Hermione looked up from her book wondering if Harry or Ron had actually decided to study and was shocked to see the blue eyed beauty sitting next to her.
"Hi" Fleur said hesitantly, this was actually her first time approaching someone she liked; they were usually pawing over her, so she usually didn't have to do any work at all. This was all new to her and she kind ofliked it.
"Are you lost?" Hermione asked a little coldly but quickly hushed herself realizing she was being quite cruel to the Hogwarts guest.
And that was the first time; they had spent together in the library, everyday since, they would sit there in the library alone, Hermione reading a book, Fleur studying her emotions carefully, Hermione actually enjoying the attention. Nobody had ever given her that kind of attention before, neither male nor female. Especially nobody as beautiful as Fleur.
Hermione and Fleur talked about nothing and everything but still neither girl had the courage to actually ask the other out although they both felt a mutual attraction.
The Yule Ball was coming up soon and Fleur didn't think she could stand it if she had to see Hermione, the girl who had captured her heart, dancing with some arrogant, pompous boy.
" 'Ermione?" Fleur says her blue eyes glinting.
"Yes?" Hermione says lifting her head from her book to let Fleur know that she had her complete attention.
"Ef I ask you zis question and you reject my offer; you have to promise me, nothing will change between us 'Ermione" The French girl says, her accent prominent. Hermione noded, a little worried at what the blonde girl has to say.
"Promise?" Fleur asks grabbing Hermione's hand under the library table.
"I promise" Hermione says, her hand trembling under Fleur's.
" 'Ermione" Fleur begins, her hand also trembling, she was almost terrified of rejection, she had never been rejected before. "Will you go zo ze Yule ball with me?" She asks her hand gripped tightly around Hermione's. "Please" Fleur adds, noticing Hermione's shocked expression, she wasn't speaking, it was almost like she was stupefied. "I will understand ef you zay no" Fleur says, but really she wouldn't understand at all why Hermione would reject her offer. She was sure, she saw signs of Hermione feeling the same way about her, she would bet her life on it.
Hermione exhales, letting out a breath she wasn't aware she was holding. She had dreamed about Fleur asking her that same question but never at all though it would actually come true. She thought Fleur was just a little friendly, with the touching and whispering intoher ear. There was no way that this part-veela beauty was actually attracted to Hermione, but here she was asking her to the Yule ball.
"Yes!" Hermione breathe out, squeezing the blonde girl's hand as reassurance.
"Yes?" Fleur asked making sure she was hearing correctly, she had never felt this way about anybody before and this was actually making the French witch very vulnerable.
"Yes!" Hermione breathes out again, afraid her heart may just stop beating or she'll wake up from this dream, but it wasn't a dream this time.

"You are an excellent quidditch player and you are very beautiful" Viktor Krum says his accent thick.
"Nowhere near as good as you, I'll never be as good as you, you can play every quidditch position without looking like a dork!" Ginny says sort of rambling, no one ever made her as nervous as the Bulgarian quidditch player right in front of her,
"There is something I have been meaning to ask you!" Viktor says, grounding his broom and signaling for Ginny to do the same, she does and follows him to a rose garden in the middle of the school. "Ginny, will you go to the Yule ball with me?" he asks, confidence in his voice, there was no way, she could say no.
Ginny was a bit dumbfounded, what would her brother's say, her going to the Yule ball with a 17 year old famous quidditch player? Who cares what they'd say? Ginny thinks before looking up at the tall man who is awaiting an answer.
"Of course" she says.
