Hey! Since I believe I won't have time to upload this tomorrow, here it is!


Fleur spent the first part of the Saturday worrying. She didn't know what Hermione planned. She decided to have lunch earlier to make sure she would be there on time. After eating, she chose her clothes and began to get ready. As she finished, she sighed after realizing how terribly nervous she was. She had chosen black skinny jeans, a gray tank top, and a dark gray jacket.

"Zat's ridiculous. Eet's not our first date…" she said to herself. She startled as she heard her doorbell. "What zee fuck?" She murmured and then shouted from her room: "Coming!"

The moment she opened the door she was dumbfounded.

"Bill?" The redhead seemed completely out of air as if he had run the whole way from the ministry to there.

"Hi…" He leaned on the doorframe to catch his breath, "I'm terribly sorry for disturbing you today…" Fleur started to worry, she had never really seen him so agitated.

"What 'appened?"

"Lucius Malfoy has been seen." Fleur felt her vision get sharper. "I thought you would like to know…"

The veela was completely lost in her thoughts to see the men in front of her subtle smile. She was looking directly in his eyes as a red rose floated into her eyesight. Fleur looked at it with wide eyes then looked at her friend, who was now openly smirking. She held the flower as if it would vanish.

"Thanks, Bill." She heard the voice she had already been missing the moment she left the castle the night before.

"Not a problem." The redhead sent Fleur an apologetic look and disapparated.

Fleur was completely frozen on the spot but sensed Hermione move from where she was and hug her reassuringly. She felt her body immediately relax a little.

"I'm sorry about that… I actually asked him to distract you, I didn't think he would get so low." Hermione kissed Fleur's shoulder chuckling a little bit. "I guess he knew it would catch you full attention. Sorry. He asked me to tell you that it's not true, in case you are wondering."

Fleur snapped back into reality as soon as she heard it wasn't true and relaxed completely in the brunette's arms. "Merde." She closed the door still a little out.

"I'm deeply sorry." She heard Hermione say before turning around and looking into her eyes.

"Eet's okay, chéri." She leaned in to kiss the brunette, not thinking twice.

"I wanted to surprise you…" The lioness said shyly, making Fleur chuckle.

"'ey, eet's not exactly your fault." She kissed the younger woman again, softly. "And you did surprise me. I loved the flower, eet's beautiful. Merci." Only then Hermione smiled at her.

"Not as beautiful as you are."

"Smooth. And zank you." Fleur kissed her once again but this time Hermione deepened the kiss. By the time they pulled back they were both out of breath.

"Are you ready? I can wait if you aren't…" Hermione said after a while.

"Oui, I'm ready. And you are breathtaking, 'ermione." Fleur beamed seeing Hermione blush.

"Thanks… So are you." Fleur smiled. "Shall we? I suppose we could apparate there…"

"Just let me put zis in a vase." She quickly went to the kitchen and returned a moment later holding a vase with the rose and placed it on the coffee table, smiling. Hermione approached her and kissed her cheek.


After knocking on Fleur door, Bill sent Hermione his Patronus telling her to make sure to enter the room only after he said the death eater's name. She used the floo to listen to their conversation. And then flooed herself into the veela's living room, holding the rose she wanted to give her. Wordlessly she made the rose levitate, after taking in the other woman, she was absurdly beautiful. Hermione was over the moon, she actually thought Fleur would get mad at her for making Bill distract her. She wasn't. At least not at her. She was pretty sure Bill would regret helping. She could see the blonde's glee as she came back from the kitchen. After kissing her one more time, they nodded at each other and disapparated.

Appearing at the apparition spot at the village. Hermione wanted to hold Fleur's hand but didn't really know if she would be okay with it. They were in a hidden place and she took advantage of it, kissing the blonde deeply before dragging her to the street. She had planned the whole afternoon. When they reached the busiest part of the village, Hermione let go of the veelas hand. She was trying to read her reaction when she did that and saw a shade of sadness pass through her eyes which made her take the blonde's hand once again. Fleur looked at her.

"I didn't know if you'd want to hold hands in public yet…" Hermione explained her actions. Fleur nodded and placed a kiss on her cheek.

"Always zoughtful…" She said, beaming. "Where are we going now?"

"Honeydukes, it came to my knowledge that you like some candies most stores don't have…" Hermione answered, beaming. She really had to thank Bill a lot. Fleur grinned thinking about the candies she was only able to find there.


"'ermione! Zere ees no way I'll let you pay for all zis!" Fleur complained, annoyed that the lioness was preventing her from paying for the candies she had chosen. They had spent half an hour in the candy store and they had picked a lot of treats. Actually, they had filled two bags with candies and if her calculations were right, each had enough for about two months. "At least let me pay for yours!"

"No way!" Hermione grinned as she took the candy bag from her hands. "You paid for everything on our first date and said that's what French do. I might not be french but I asked you out. I'm paying for everything!"

"Stubborn," Fleur grumbled. Seriously, why did she have to choose such a stubborn woman?

"I'll pretend I didn't hear you grumble," Hermione said. She was having fun with all that scene. "Own, don't pout." She said, kissing her cheek. After the lioness paid and they were again walking in the main street, Fleur couldn't keep herself from grinning. "What do you want to do now?"

"I'm sure you 'ave a plan." Hermione nodded and they walked towards the bookstore she remembered going a few times five years before.

"I ordered a book by owl a few days ago, I just want to see if it's here already. And we could look around." Fleur simply nodded, she would refrain herself, knowing the lioness wouldn't let her buy anything today.

Soon they were both looking around. Fleur looked at Hermione, who had her back to her, seeing how deep in thought the girl was, she approached and hugged her in a way they both were facing the books. She was a little higher than the lioness so they actually fit perfectly that way, or anyway as Fleur liked to think. Moving her head a little, she kissed Hermione's cheek and then rested her chin on the lioness' shoulder making sure she wouldn't hurt her. They silently and in perfect harmony moved around the store. At the end of what seemed to both half an hour that was actually at least two hours, they were heading to the checkout. Hermione insisted on giving her two books she demonstrated interest and chose one for herself.

"We actually have some time to spare. We could either spend it on a cafe Luna told me about or go to Three Broomsticks. Almost no one goes to the cafe, according to Lun, and at this time almost everyone that came to the village is at the inn…" The lioness asked, right after they got out of the bookstore.

"Zee café eet ees. I don't really want to share your attention right now…" Fleur said, smiling at the girl.

"I hoped you would say that… It's this way." Hermione started walking, Fleur keeping her close by holding her waist They left the main street and headed to a small one on which she could hardly see a student. "Oh, right there! It's really lovely!" The lioness said as they entered the store, grinning. "Remember me to thank Lun, it's perfect!"

Looking around, Fleur smiled. It was a perfect place. It was really beautiful and happened to be quite empty if not completely, the only person she was able to see was apparently the owner who smiled at them when they entered. Hermione chose a seat closer to a lit fireplace, a couch resembling the one she had back on the castle which supposedly had enough space for them to sit comfortably side by side or for one of them to lean the head on the other lap. She sat and smiled as Hermione gave a quick kiss and went to talk to the owner, who seemed genuinely happy to see them. The lioness came back with two steamy mugs a few minutes after, grinning.

"Zank you, 'ermione!" She said taking the one offered to her, almost moaning when she took the first sip from it. French coffee. "C'est délicieux!" She exclaimed loudly, making the brunette snicker and the owner smile and say: "Merci!"

"Lun apparently found the perfect place indeed." Hermione smiled.

A few minutes later the owner approached them carrying a tray with two croissants.

"I hope you are having a good time. Here are your croissants." She left the plates on a table in front of them. "If you want, feel free to choose a book from the shelves and read. They are here for you to read."

When she left, Fleur looked at Hermione, who was obviously excited to be able to borrow a book and smiled fondly. The lioness stood and walked towards the shelves the woman had shown them. She looked at Fleur almost sadly. "They are all in French…" Smiling, she got up and decided to see what they had. She laughed as soon as she finished reading the titles.

"I zink you will 'ave no problem understanding zis one wizout a translating spell…" Fleur said softly as she picked one of the books and gave it to Hermione.

"Why?" The brunette inquired without looking to the book, but Fleur remained silent simply smiling. Seeing that Fleur wouldn't answer her, she decided to examine its cover and gasped. "Shakespeare…"

"Better. 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'." Fleur said, smiling as she saw the confusion on the brunette's face be replaced with enthusiasm.

"Could you read it to me? I never really heard you say anything in French besides a few words you say randomly…" Hermione's smile and request basically transformed Fleur into a veela pudding.

"Bien sûr!" The blonde said softly, taking the book and seating once again on the couch. Hermione followed her, but instead of seating, she lay down and used Fleur's thighs as cushions. The blonde paused.

"What? I'll not sleep! I swear!"

"Very well, but just to be sure, what time will your next plan begin?" She asked with a raised brow, quite sure that the lioness would sleep in no time.

After looking at the clock, Hermione looked back to her. "We should leave in about an hour and a half." Fleur nodded and, before the brunette could lay back down, kissed her. After making sure they were both comfortable, Fleur began reading the book.

Staying true to her promise, Hermione didn't sleep. Although Fleur had seen her close her eyes several times, only to open them again, after the French nudged her, saying she was not asleep. The time came and they left after Hermione paid everything.

"I might buy this book." She stated.

"I 'ave eet. Well, maman 'as eet but I'm sure she will be pleased to let you keep eet." Fleur smiled. As soon as they left the cafe, Fleur resumed holding the lioness by the waist, this time Hermione leaned on her and held Fleur's hand in hers. They walked through a few more alleys only stopping in front of a small house. It appeared to be a house, actually. There was a small sign where Fleur could read: Angelique's. How she didn't now about its existence in the village she didn't know, but it was obviously French. Hermione beamed seeing the blonde's reaction and kissed her cheek.

"I figured you were missing France, so I decided to do a small research and happen to find this place. Professor McGonagall has been here, she says the food is fantastic."

Fleur couldn't resist the urge to kiss the lioness deeply. They pulled back panting. "Merci, 'ermione…" was what Fleur managed to say.

As they entered the blonde noticed the restaurant was really small and had only about three tables for two. She felt herself falling even more for the brunette. If that was even possible. Again, Hermione chose where to seat. It was a secluded area but really cozy. In a few moments, they ordered and in less than half an hour later they began eating.

After having dinner, they ordered a crêpe Suzette to share and about half an hour later they were walking on the village's streets again.

"Fleur…" Hermione began, sounding anxious. "I've been meaning to ask you something." She said quietly as they stopped walking and Fleur looked at her.

"Oui?"

"I… Uhm… I've been wondering if… if you… if you'd like to be my girlfriend…" Hermione asked shyly but looking straight into her eyes.

The blonde was dumbfounded for a while until she noticed Hermione start fidgeting uncomfortably. She, then, noticed she didn't react nor answered the lioness. They were very close to each other so Fleur reached for her, holding the brunette against her and before she could say answer, she kissed her sweetly.

"I guess that's a yes?" Hermione asked as soon as they pulled away, beaming.

"Oui. Of course." Fleur said, grinning. She then placed kisses all over the brunette's face.

"Good…" the lioness sighed contently. "I should walk you home… Well, apparate with you there at least." When the blonde started to argue, "I will do it. It's the least I could do for my girlfriend."

The way Hermione said it almost made Fleur swoon and she relented.


Hearing Fleur speaking French was almost a heavenly experience. The way her voice flowed was unique. Hermione smiled the whole time the blonde was reading for her. She had been nervous since the moment she flooed to Fleur's, not sure the veela would like all the surprises she had decided to make. It was all going fine. They even had time to spend some time at the French cafe Luna mentioned, getting Fleur to read the book in French was a bonus. Really, heavenly.

Her nervousness was building in, each minute that passed, she got alarmingly more nervous. When they left the cafe, she had to breathe deeply to refrain herself from shaking visibly. The smile and tears she saw on Fleur's face when she saw where they would have dinner, made her day. The whole dinner she was nervous, but apparently, she managed to hide it from the blonde. As they left, each step made her even more anxious. Harry and Ginny tried to make her calm down before she left that morning by saying they were mates, obviously she would say yes.

Hermione resolved to say what she was so nervous to say. There was nothing she could do if the blonde said no. Taking a deep breath, "Fleur…" She began, obviously anxious. "I've been meaning to ask you something."

"Oui?"

She looked directly into Fleur's eyes, "I… Uhm…" Merlin, she was so nervous she was incapable of formulating a proper phrase. "I've been wondering if… if you…" Gods! Get a grip of yourself, Hermione Granger! "If you'd like to be my girlfriend…"

What seemed to be three hours later but really probably only three minutes, Fleur was yet to answer her. The blonde reached for her and kissed her. She instantly relaxed.

"I guess that's a yes?" She asked as soon as they pulled away, beaming.

"Oui. Of course." Fleur said, grinning. The blonde then placed kisses all over her face.

"Good…" The lioness sighed contently. "I should walk you home… Well, apparate with you there at least." When the blonde started to argue, "I will do it. It's the least I could do for my girlfriend."

Hermione noticed Fleur grin as soon as she said girlfriend and she smiled. They apparated to Fleur's apartment in no time. As soon as they got there, the veela hugged her for a while.

"'ey… Want some wine? I would love to celebrate…" She murmured.

"Sure…That would be lovely." Hermione smiled. Fleur kissed her and went to the kitchen. The lioness sat on her favorite place while the blonde was away. She came back a couple of minutes later and gave her the wine. They drank it silently, enjoying each other presence. They both put down the nearly empty glasses and looked at each other. Hermione was so happy, she wanted to cover the blonde with kisses. Leaning in, she kissed her sweetly.

In no time the blonde deepened the kiss. They got so engrossed by each other that a few moments later Hermione noticed she was straddling Fleur. Panting, they pulled away and the lioness was greeted by two bright orange eyes. The veela was holding her by the hips and quickly resumed kissing her. She tilted her head a little and the blonde used this small movement to part from her lips and give attention to her neck, earning a moan from the lioness. Taking it as an encouragement, the veela continued to distribute kissed on her neck. Not being able to control herself anymore, Hermione took Fleur's lips on hers. A while later she returned the favor, kissing her neck eliciting a moan, she smiled against her skin. Fleur quickly captured her lips once again but didn't take long to pull away, making the lioness whine. The veela chuckled. Once again, she opened her eyes and saw the veela's orange orbs. Gosh, those eyes! She pressed her forehead against hers and sighed.

"Hello, beautiful eyes…" She said, smiling.

"'ello beautiful…"

"I guess I should go…" Fleur pouted but nodded nonetheless.

"Or I won't be able to let you move anywhere…" Fleur added, smiling devilishly.

"I wouldn't want to…" Hermione laughed. "I actually don't want to. You lap is too comfortable."

"Zen don't," Fleur smirked.

"Fleur…"

"I'd love to but not what I meant." The French interrupted Hermione before she could say anything else, blushing deeply. "You can stay 'ere as much as you like and go to school zen or 'ome or even sleep 'ere. I'd sleep in zee couch, obviously."

"Uhm, I see…" The lioness locked eyes with the veela and kissed her, deeply. When she pulled back, she grinned hearing Fleur's whining. "I'd love to but I really must go." She got up from the blonde's lap. "Now, get your Gryffindor girlfriend to the fireplace and kiss her goodbye," Hermione said, playfully.

"Oh, and eef I don't do as she says?"

"You will go to sleep without a goodnight kiss and make her do so too."

"When you put eet zat way…" The speed with which she got up was basically inhuman, obviously. Hermione laughed at that as she felt Fleur's arms around her. "I can't let my girlfriend go to bed wizout a kiss." With that said, she began to kiss every inch of the lioness' face only stopping when her lips met the brunette's. "Goodnight, mon amour." Her eyes went wide as soon as she realized what she had just said.

"Goodnight, babe!" The lioness smiled widely and kissed her one more time before grabbing a handful of floo powder and entering the fireplace.

The living room she shared with Harry and Ginny appeared in front of her in a second. And with that her three friends waiting for her, awake. To be fair, only the redhead was really awake, the other two were dozing off. It was rather uncommon for Luna to stay there this late, Hermione thought.

"You are finally here!" Ginny exclaimed as soon as the brunette stepped outside the fireplace. "I saw you two leaving the village quite early."

"Really? You were stalking us?"

"Well, no. I was bored and Harry was finishing an essay he had left so I went to the village for a butterbeer with Lun. We saw you leaving as we were coming back." At that point, Luna woke up and heard the story.

"She was curious about how your date was going, actually. Not bored. And I only went because Harry was indeed finishing his homework and it's not a good idea to leave Weasleys alone for more than a few minutes." Trusting Luna's version of the story much more than Ginny's, Hermione raised a brow at the ginger who had the prudence of looking apologetic.

"Now that it's out there… How did it go?" She said, smiling. Ginny woke Harry up as Hermione sat in front of them to answer the question.

After Hermione said everything, she beamed at them. Obviously, she had left the part of heavily making out with the blonde out of the story.

"I told you she would say yes!" Luna smiled, as the other two nodded. "I'm glad you are officially dating!" The girl seemed to be absurdly tired. "Now, if you excuse me, I'll head to Ravenclaw…"

"Hey, you can sleep here..." Hermione said, smiling.

"Yeah, you could have trouble with Filch walking around this late..." Harry added.

"And we don't want you to leave…" Ginny smiled at her friend.

"Ok…" Luna beamed.

Hermione looked at the clock as she yawned. "It's really late. We should go to bed."

Harry and Ginny insisted that Luna slept on Harry's bed so they went to Ginny's. Hermione went upstairs as soon as they left, giving the blonde good night.
