I'M BACK, BITCHES!

Hope you enjoy


That smile would be the death of her.

"So, you hungry? We could eat and talk about where we are on the reports." Hermione suggested.

"Sure." Dobby was called and the plates delivered. Soon they were both eating and discussing the report. "I completely forgot 'ow amazing ees zee food 'ere!"

Fleur was barely capable of keeping herself focused on the task they had. That week had probably been one of the worse she ever had. Clearly Harry had talked to Ron because he came back Monday already with a better attitude. And apparently, Hermione heard about it too, having asked about him. Two days into the week and she was already nervous about the meeting. Thursday morning, she came to a resolution, having thought about it the whole week. She would finally ask the lioness out. It was definitely dumb of her to not have done it before. She was long due to do so. Fleur spent the rest of the day and the following gathering courage, she was doing so while they discussed the reports. They barely advanced given her inability to focus. Three hours later, she saw Hermione yawn and noticed she seemed really tired, Fleur was quite exhausted too.

"'Ermione, I should go. You seem tired and probably 'ad a long day…" Fleur began.

"Oh, no, stay, Fleur! I guess we could at least stop working and have cup of tea…" Hermione interrupted her, tiredness was obvious in her eyes, but she was clearly trying to ignore it.

"Just a cup of tea. Zen I'll go. I also 'ad a long day…" Not that it would keep her from enjoying time with the brunette.

Hermione called Dobby once again and asked the elf for two cups of tea. Hermione asked her about her weeks and talked about hers. They were both finishing their tea when Fleur decided it was now or never.

"Uh, 'ermione…" She broke the momentary silence.

"Yes?" The brunette looked away from her cup into her eyes. Fleur rested her cup on the table and took in a deep breath.

"Uhm, I was wondering eef you would be interested in going on a date wiz me sometime…" There, she said it.

"What?" Hermione blurted out.

"Uhm… Would you like to go on a date wiz me?" Fleur repeated sat in the same position as the words left her mouth once again and was about to excuse herself when she saw the brunette's eyes lit up and the younger woman smile.

"Seriously?" Fleur nodded. "Sure. When?" Hermione answered, beaming.

"Are you free tomorrow?" The brunette nodded. "You want to go to London or do you prefer to stay on zee village?"

"Either. I just need to inform professor McGonagall…"

"I came to know a restaurant on London zat I believe you will love…"

"Sure." Hermione said, without a second thought. "I might have to go home before…"

"So, I'll meet you at your flat at seven?" Fleur could barely believe it was happening. The brunette nodded. "Deal zen." The blonde decided it was better for her to go home already and got up from her seat. "See you tomorrow…" Hermione moved to hug her. As soon as they pulled back, Fleur placed a kiss on each of Hermione's cheeks. The second mimicking the brunette's from two weeks before.

"Tell 'arry and Ginny I said bye and say 'ello to Luna, eef you may…" Fleur said right before stepping into the fireplace.

As soon as she got her feet into her flat, she released a breath she didn't know she was holding. Checking the time, she decided to call the restaurant and make reservations. After that, she noticed how tired she really was and got to bed. The whole time she couldn't stop smiling.


As soon as Fleur vanished from the fireplace, Hermione squealed. She quickly accessed the common room, it was late and the room had only seven years scattered around. When she didn't see Harry nor Ginny there, she directed herself to the redhead's room hoping to get them in a decent state. She knocked and entered the room. They were her friends and she, unfortunately had already caught them in awkward circumstances. And right now, she couldn't care less. Fortunately, they were hunched over a drawing of the Quidditch pitch, apparently discussing training techniques.

"Hermione!" Ginny said, being the first to notice the girl madly smiling, causing Harry to turn and face her.

"Are you okay?" Harry asked, the brunette nodded.

"What happened?" Ginny insisted in making her speak. "Wait! You asked her out?" She smiled but shook her head. "Then what? It has something to do with Fleur…"

"Sheaskedmeout!" Hermione blurted the words almost screaming. Both of her friends looked at her questioningly.

"Sorry?" Harry said.

Hermione took in a deep breath. "Fleur asked me out." Her statement was followed by a squeal from Ginny. Harry simply smiled at her.

"Finally…" He said lowly. His word missed in the chatting of the two girls. Hermione retold the meeting to them and smiled as she remembered the moment the blonde asked the first time. She blushed saying she had to make her repeat herself because her brain basically had an override.

"Ginny!" Hermione said, as soon as she finished to tell them what transpired.

"If McGonagall allow me to go too, I'll help, 'Mione!" Ginny nodded, not needing another word from the brunette. Hermione nodded and thanked. "Now go to sleep. You have to be flawless tomorrow!" The redhead smiled, making Hermione go to her room. She and Harry were already in their night robes and decided to accompany the brunette back to the reserved dormitory.

Hermione talked to the headmistress right after breakfast the next day and the three Gryffindors decided to leave before lunch so they would have all the time they needed. They ordered a pizza so no one would have to cook. Time passed by and soon Hermione had one hour to be ready and she was yet to figure out her outfit.

"Hey, it's just a dress." Harry said as he was bombarded with questions by both girls and, obviously, he ended up being ignored. They were currently inside Hermione's bedroom going through her clothes. The brunette ended up dressing every single dress she owned. Ginny finally made up her mind putting together a shortish dress, a leather jacket and high heeled boots. Hermione smiled as she looked at herself in the mirror half an hour after they begun looking for clothes and Harry threw his arms up as he noticed it was over and he didn't have to give opinions on outfits anymore. He got out of the room as Ginny was getting ready to go out. They would go on a date too.

At seven, the bell rang and Harry answered, smiling. Fleur was wearing black skinny jeans, a white button-down blouse and a leather jacket.

"Good night, Fleur…"

"'ello, 'arry!" She hugged him tightly.

"She is coming down any minute now…"

"Oh, hello, Fleur!" Hermione made herself noticed still at the top of the stairs. She noticed the other woman's eyes go darker and get back to normal quickly but paid no reed to it. When she got to the end of the stairs and approached the other two, Fleur was yet to say something. She turned to Harry and smiled at him. Ginny appeared on the top of the stairs and it was his time to be speechless. Hermione gathered the courage she had and held Fleur by the waist. That made the blonde snap back to reality and look at her in the eyes.

"'i, 'ermione…" She said. "You are absolutely gorgeous." She whispered.

"Thanks. You too." That was true. When she got to the stairs on the first floor and saw Fleur she was rendered speechless. Only a few breaths later she could greet the woman and make herself noticed.

"Hi Fleur!" Ginny greeted the blonde, taking her attention from Hermione. Fleur moved to hug the redhead.

"We should get going…" Harry said as both woman pulled back. They all nodded and left the apartment.

The couples parted ways as they exited the building.

"What have you planned?" Hermione asked Fleur curiously.

"I 'aven't been 'onest. We 'ave restaurant reservations at nine. And I 'eard zere ees a play due to begin in 'alf an 'our on a zeatre near zee restaurant…" Hermione beamed.

"That would be awesome. Do you know what play it is?"

"Non…"

They apparated on a nearby apparition site and had a short walk to the theatre. When they got there and Hermione read the poster, she looked at Fleur with suspicious look.

"You knew what was the play."

"Oui." Fleur chuckled. "I just wanted eet to be a surprise."

The poster read 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'.

Hermione kissed the blonde's cheek and thanked her. Fleur revealed two tickets to the play and confessed she had been hoping the brunette would like the idea of the play without knowing which it would be. They entered the Theatre smiling broadly and the whole length of the classic, Hermione leaned into Fleur with her head on the blonde's shoulder. As they got out, Fleur guided Hermione towards the restaurant.

"I found eet last Saturday and immediately zought of you. Zee food ees exquisite…" Fleur said while entering the place. Hermione couldn't help but smile.

They had dinner and talked about everything, not wanting to miss a thing about the other. Time passed quite quickly and soon both girls were walking towards the apparition site. They made a quiet walk, enjoying each other's company. When they apparated in front of Hermione's flat they were still silent. Fleur hugged the brunette.

"Thanks for the night, Fleur." Her arms were still around the blonde's neck as they were yet to pull back from the hug. Hermione looked directly into Fleur's eyes and smiled. She thought about the book the veela had given her and remembered something from it. "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"Am I your…?" For the first time, Hermione's words faltered as Fleur looked into her eyes and nodded. Feeling lost into the blonde's eyes, and immensely happy about the finding, Hermione leaned towards the other woman.

Hermione felt Fleur's lips in hers for the first time in her life and instantly smiled into it. She felt the blonde smile too. The next thing she felt were her hands pressing her into Fleur and without a second thought, she pulled the blonde closer to her too. She could sense the whole world fade away as she got even more aware of how close Fleur was. Hermione felt the veela's tongue on her lower lip, asking for permission to deepen the kiss and parted her lips with a low moan.


"Am I your…?" Before Hermione could finish her question, Fleur locked her eyes into hers and nodded, drowning into the brunette's eyes. She saw her leaning in and closing her eyes and felt her lips against hers. Closing her eyes, she felt her inner veela purr and held back a moan. She smiled as she felt Hermione smiling and pulled her closer to her. She couldn't believe it was happening. In a moment, she was completely aware of her surroundings then she wasn't, the only thing she cared about in that exact moment was in front of her, kissing her. Fleur asked for permission to deepen the kiss and heard a soft moan as the other woman parted her lips. When they managed to pull away, they were both smiling and Fleur felt like the luckiest woman in the universe. Hermione pressed her forehead against hers and looked into her eyes. They stood that way for a few moments and exchanged some kisses.

"Good night…" Fleur whispered.

"Good night." Hermione answered after another kiss. And fully pulled back to open the door.

Fleur watched Hermione get inside the apartment with a smile on her face. She noticed that her vision was sharper and thanked merlin that her nails didn't turn into talons. The blonde was alone outside the apartment and decided it was better to just apparate home. She was quite sure Hermione noticed the change on her eyes, at least she had enough self-control to calm the veela for most part of the night. She lost control for a second, at the exact time Hermione kissed her, probably out of surprise. And that was the proof to anyone willing to see that she simply lost her mind over the brunette.

Fleur appeared in the living room less than a second after she vanished from Hermione's front door. She sighted and decided she deserved a glass of wine. The smile never really left her face, her cheeks were beginning to ache but she paid no reed. Hermione Granger had kissed her. Hermione freaking Granger! She replayed the night sitting on her couch, at the exact same place the brunette had sat the first time she visited her and all other times. A fool smile on her lips.

She got to bed after that wine just as she promised herself. Sleep came easily, her veela and herself still purring and smiling at the shadow of her lips on hers.


Hermione closed the door and took off her boots, as much as she liked those she preferred being barefooted. Walking to the kitchen, she fixed herself a cup of hot cocoa, the one thing she could "cook" without risking her existence or the flat's. She walked up stairs, calmly. Entering her room, she silently casted a spell so she could stargaze and sat on her bed, replaying the night on her mind. She slept under that sky after finishing her hot chocolate.
