Boundaries are something which are naturally set up between two people, and yet when it comes to Fleur Delacour, they do not seem to apply to her.
Everyone in Hogwarts knows just how serious Hermione is when it comes to her studies. She is the brightest witch of her age for a reason and her curious mind constantly seeking for knowledge never seems to end. She spends most of her time studying and the brunette finds herself enjoying it as she wanted to learn all there is in the magical world, seeing that she was a muggleborn after all and did not have any contact with the magical world before she received her letter.
So, when it is test week, everyone knows that they will most likely find the brunette in her own little cocoon of books in the library, one in her lap as she took notes. No one dares to interrupt her, not even Malfoy as he has once been on the receiving end of a particularly nasty hex which the brunette learnt recently. Hermione was serious about getting an O for this test, so she was studying particularly hard for this test, being in her own studious bubble to not be disturbed.
"Hermione!"
Hermione literally jumped when she heard the loud voice of her girlfriend echoing through the bookshelves as she snapped her head in the direction to see Fleur hurrying towards her with a large pout on her face. Madam Pince could immediately be heard shushing her but as usual, Fleur paid no mind to the adults and instead came barrelling into her, promptly seating herself on the girl's lap, knocking the book off her lap and onto the floor.
"Fleur!"
"Mon amour, it feels like I haven't seen you in days! Just why are you ignoring me so?"
"I haven't been ignoring you! I have been studying!" Hermione exclaimed, shifting in her seat as she looked worried at her notes which were hanging off the desk and her quill make some spotted stains on her notes. She tried to bump Fleur off her lap so that she could save her notes, but the blonde showed no signs of getting off.
"You're always studying! I need attention too mon petite souris, how could you deprive me of it for so long?"
"Fleur! Lower your voice!"
Hermione looked around apologetically as she heard more shushing coming from the librarian and a few other students and she looked at her girlfriend with pleading eyes, but Fleur has never cared of the opinions of the adults in the school, completely used to doing what she wants.
"Why? Because I am disturbing you? How can I be such a disturbance? I am simply asking for my own Hermione time! I demand my girlfriend!"
Her voice was getting higher and louder and Hermione was frantically trying to boot her off to gather her notes, the ink definitely now beginning to spoil her notes.
"Fleur!"
"Miss Delacour! Miss Granger!"
Hermione literally paled when she saw the librarian marching towards them, her face twisted up in a scowl as she took in the position which the two of them again.
"The library is no place for such activities! Please remove yourselves this instant."
"Madam Pince-"
"Gladly. I know much better places than this old dusty tomb." Fleur interrupted Hermione, smirking at Madam Pince's scandalised look before she hopped off Hermione's lap and grabbed her wrist, tugging her towards the exit with a bright smile on her face.
"F-Fleur! My books!" She said, her free hand thrown in the direction of her notes and books as if to summon them to her.
"Ah, right." Fleur grumbled a bit, turning to the very things which have been depriving her of her Hermione time and did a quick non-verbal spell which had Hermione's books and notes fold themselves up into her bag and then flying into the brunette's thrown hand. She then immediately began to drag the brunette away, the bookworm staring in awe at her bag in her hand due to the non-verbal magic her girlfriend had just done.
When they were outside the library, Fleur turned around and flashed the brunette a bright smile as she squeezed the hand tighter in hers.
"Now, I believe I am owed some personal girlfriend time. Shall we go back to the carriage? We won't be interrupted by anyone; I'll make sure of it." She said, a mischievous twinkle eye as she began to tug her girlfriend away. But she was only met with resistance.
"Fleur! You literally got me kicked out of the library! I have never been kicked out of the library!" Hermione exclaimed, embarrassment and anger filling her as she looked at the dumbstruck Fleur.
"Really? Not even once?" Was all that Fleur said, grating on Hermione's nerves as she didn't seem at all apologetic.
"No Fleur, never. And you even went as far to insult Madam Pince! Do you have any idea how hard it is to get on her good side?"
"I didn't insult her. I insulted the library. There's a difference." The blonde defended herself, looking slightly offended at the wrong information the brunette was accusing her of. Hermione just sighed, a headache coming on rather quickly.
"That is practically the same thing. Madam Pince is never going to let me back in now."
"That's fine. You can come and study in the carriage if it means-"
"No absolutely not." Hermione tugged her hand out of Fleur's grip and shot the blonde an annoyed look before shouldering her bag and sighing. "Besides, I can't come to the carriage with you. I have to study."
"Hermione-"
"No." Hermione raised her finger to pointed at her put out girlfriend, ignoring the cute pout on her otherwise flawless face as she glared at her. "I have transfiguration to study for and seeing you have literally gotten me kicked out of the only quiet place in this whole bloody school, I have no choice but to continue in my room. I'll see you later."
"Nooo, don't study now! I want to spend time with you." The blonde immediately complained, reaching for her younger girlfriend again but this time getting dodged and smacked on the forehead lightly.
"No. Learn some boundaries Fleur. Not everything revolves around you." She then turned around and began to walk away, shaking her head as she did. "I'll see you at dinner. Promise."
Hermione thought that she was going to be safe in her dorm room. The others were busy socialising downstairs while she was sitting on her bed, rereading through the latest notes she has written out, the others being spoiled by the last interruption earlier and she could finally settle down to learn. Only Gryffindors could come in the common room and everyone knows that she is studying so she won't have any interruptions, her Lavender and Parvati downstairs with the others.
Yet it hadn't even been an hour yet when the door of her room flung open and the same voice as before popped the bubble of silence the brunette had welcomed.
"Hermione!"
Hermione gasped when Fleur suddenly launched herself onto the brunette's bed, once again disrupting her study time as she immediately straddled the brunette, a wide smile on her face as she pushed the brunette down by her shoulders.
"F-Fleur! Just what are you doing?"
"Spending time with you! What does it look like?"
"How did you even get in?!"
"Password. Obviously."
There is no way that Fleur actually knew the password to the common room. The most likely case was that she had used her thrall on some poor unsuspecting boys to let herself in and judging by the mischievous twinkle in her eye which the brunette has come to know which means that the blonde has done something out of protocol, she knew that she was right.
"Fleur, I'm trying to study! Don't you understand boundaries?"
"Of course I do. But studies come second to me. All the time."
Fleur smiled widely before lowering her head and pressing a kiss to the unsuspecting brunette. Hermione squeaked from the kiss and the blonde pulled away with a cheeky smile, her eyes twinkling as she gazed at Hermione's face.
"Mon amour, you are just so cute when red."
"F-Fleur, I have no time for this! I really need to-"
"We both know that you are going to pass. Have a break mon amour, I will happily give you all the relaxation that you need." She grinned, the usual victorious smile that she has when she knows that she is going to win an argument. And Hermione knew that she was winning that with the weakening hold that Hermione had against her shoulders.
"Fleur…"
"Hush now my love," She said, tossing her hand behind her, casting another non-verbal spell to close her dorm door, and hearing the click to tell her that the blonde casted a locking spell on it. "Have a break from transfiguration. Study me instead."
Hermione couldn't help but laugh as she felt Fleur's lips press against hers again, Hermione leaning up into the kiss this time as she moved her hands to hook them around the blonde's shoulders. No matter what boundaries that the brunette puts up, the blonde is the only one who will break them.
She is used to getting what she wants, and she is just as stubborn as Hermione is. That is probably the thing which does cause the fights between the both of them, but also the reason of why they are happy as they are right now.
Boundaries don't apply to Fleur Delacour and she will happily break all of them down just to be with the brunette. While if it were somebody else, Hermione definitely would have casted a hex, but she could never with the blonde.
Guess it really takes a special kind of person to break the boundaries set by the brightest witch of her year.
