The majority of their Sunday was spent outside, by the lake. It was a beautiful day and none of them wanted to waste it so they all agreed to have some fresh air. After dinner, they headed back to the living room. Where Hermione passed time reading and the other three chatting in a lower voice so they wouldn't annoy her. Half an hour later, the painting of Joan of Ark appeared on the picture of her they had inside to inform them that Moire was looking for them. Hermione immediately worried and said she could come in. They greeted her and the brunette almost immediately asked how she was.

"I'm okay. I just wanted your help with something." Hermione nodded motioning her to continue. "I'm studying some spells ahead of the class, but I'm stuck with this one and can't really tell what I'm doing wrong…"

"Oh, she's just like you, 'Mione!" Harry exclaimed, making the girl look at him confused. "Hermione was always ahead of everyone."

"That's probably why she managed to keep him and my brother alive for so long..." Ginny added, Moire smiled at the new information she had just gathered.

"What is the spell, Moire?" Hermione asked, motioning her to a seat by the table.

"Wingardium Leviosa…" Ginny, Luna and Harry laughed, making Hermione glare at them and the younger girl to once again look confused.

"I know that story!" Luna said excited and receiving a questioning look from the eleven-year-old. "In their first year, I mean Harry's and 'Mione's. When Professor Flitwick taught this spell, no one was managing to perform it correctly and Hermione was sat by Ron that day. Apparently, he was doing every thing wrong, from the movement to the pronouncing and Hermione corrected him, saying: 'It's leviOsa, not levioSAA', he dismissed her and challenged her to perform it if she knew it. Hermione obviously cast it perfectly. He and Harry still joke around how she corrected her…"

The girl was in awe but looked at the brunette to confirm the story. Hermione smiled at her and nodded. Then they focused back on the spell. It was then that Fleur flooed there, surprising them. Hermione was really glad to see the Veela.

"Bonsoir everyone!" The blonde said, smiling.

"Hey, Fleur!" Harry greeted her, followed by his girlfriend and Luna while Hermione patiently waited and Moire simply stared at her.

"'ello, 'ermione!" Fleur said as soon as she reached her, hugging her and giving her a kiss on her cheek. "I'm not sure I know you…" She said looking at Moire, who smiled at her.

"I'm Moire!"

"She's the girl that talked to me the day we randomly met…" Hermione provided.

"Oh, I see. 'ello, I'm Fleur."

"I know!" The girl squealed, making everyone chuckle.

"Moire is studying ahead of her class and asked for help with a spell." The brunette said, smiling.

"Which one?"

"Wingardium Leviosa." Ginny answered. Fleur chuckled, earning a glare from Hermione.

"Yeah, eet's no fun being zee receiving end of zis glare." She said to Ginny, making her laugh as well as Harry and Luna. Fleur quickly placed a kiss on the lioness cheek and murmured "Sorry, mon amour" She then turned to the younger girl and smiled "You couldn't 'ave a better teacher."

Hermione made sure that Moire was once again focused on what she was teaching her as the French woman joined the other's conversation. "Now, let's see if you got it.", said the brunette placing a quill in front of the girl. After three tries, the first year managed to perform it correctly, earning applauses from everyone in the room. She, then, thanked everyone and gave the good night as Hermione told her to got to bed.

"Hey, babe!" The brunette said as she sat by the veela's side snuggling against her.

"'ello, mon ange…" Hermione couldn't help but feel her heart flutter at the nickname. "I'm sorry I came without a warning. I just wanted to see you." She added, making the other three 'awn' them.

"No problem. I was thinking about you…"

"Hey, heart eyes! We are here too!" Ginny joked, laughing.

Hermione ignored her and kissed Fleur. "Missed you."

"Oh, Merlin! They just began dating and are already like that!" The redhead exclaimed. When she was about to say something more Hermione glared at her, making her shut up.

"Me too…" Fleur answered the lioness, ignoring Ginny. "And I wanted to wish you a good week seeing we 'ardly will see each ozer…" Hermione nodded.

They all chatted a little but as it was late, Luna went back to her room and Ginny and Harry to Harry's. Soon, both girls were yawning and Fleur decided to leave, wishing once again a good week to Hermione and kissing her good night. Hermione went to sleep smiling, the blonde's visit was obviously unexpected but made her a lot happier.

The week passed quickly, they were all anxious about the DA meeting. Hermione and Fleur decided they could cancel the work meeting they would have because they were all already distressed about the DA and the reports Harry, Luna and Hermione had to write would only make it worse. They had to wait for this reports to continue their work. Her two friends thanked her and Ron, Fleur for delaying it. The two girlfriends exchanged letters or flooed each other every day but both missed each other madly. Thursday was Hermione's worst day and that could be attested by anyone who go close to her. She was really grumpy by the end of the day. Her mood got a little better when a certain veela flooed her to say good night. Friday she was still in a bad mood but it was better than the day before, after all, she would see Fleur.

"So, what are you planning to do today since you won't work?" Luna asked during lunch, the lioness' mood was getting better by the minute.

"Uhm, I don't know. I guess we could all go to Three Broomsticks. We are just spending some time together."

"That would be awesome!" Ginny said and Harry agreed.

"Great! So we will have dinner there?" the three nodded. "I'll let Fleur know."

History of magic class passed in a blink and soon they were all heading to the Gryffindor tower to meet Fleur. Hermione entered the room, dropped her bag loudly on the ground and grunted something about changing the others followed her lead. Luna had carried a change of clothes with her. In no time they were all back in the living room and Fleur arrived as soon as the least of them reached it. She stormed to Hermione and kissed her. They only pulled away when they heard Harry cleared his throat.

Ginny nudged him. "Leave them. Maybe it will leave 'Mione in a better mood!" She whispered at him. Well, it wasn't really a whisper because everyone heard her.


Fleur hugged Hermione and smiled. "Grumpy much?"

"I missed you. I guess I got in a bad mood. They started complaining yesterday." Hermione murmured as the blonde chuckled.

"I was in a bad mood too. Ask Bill. 'e started complaining by Tuesday." She whispered after kissing her again. "And I missed you too."

Unwilling to let her lioness go, she continued holding her as she greeted their friends. They soon went to the village, after sending the headmistress a message letting her know where they were headed to. They had fun, Hermione never left her side. She had developed quite a taste for wine so that's what they had, all of them. At the end of the night, none of them was drunk but they had drunk a lot. Going back to the castle, Hermione leaned on Fleur, sighting. As soon as they got to the living room, Luna decided to stay exactly where she was so she transfigured one of the couches into a bed and simply slept. Harry and Ginny went to their bedroom quite sleepy too. Before Fleur could say anything, Hermione kissed her.

"I really don't want you to leave." She said, after pulling back.

"I guess I could follow Lun's example and transfigure…" She paused mid-sentence as she saw Hermione shake her head.

"If you stay, you can sleep with me." Hermione's face went red as soon as she realized what she had said. "I meant sleep literally. Not that I don't want to… It's just that it's a huge step…" She deadpanned, making Fleur chuckle.

"I know what you meant, mon amour." She said, looking the lioness in the eyes. "Are you sure? I really don't want to force you into doing nozing…"

"Yes. I missed you too much and want to cuddle." Hermione said, hugging her.

"I'll stay zen. You are conscious we will 'ave to endure Ginny tomorrow when she notices I slept 'ere, right?"

"Yeah. But I'm quite sure it will be worth it."

They went upstairs holding hands, Hermione lent Fleur one of her pyjamas, Fleur got into bed first and opened her arms so the lioness could snuggle against her. They slept quickly, something unknown to them for a long time.

Fleur woke up in Hermione's arms and sighed if she had to wake up like that every day she wouldn't complain. Well, that was obvious. She carefully snuggled closer to Hermione not wanting to wake her up. The lioness began to stir so the blonde turned around to face her. "Bonjour, beautiful!" She smiled as soon as the brunette opened her eyes.

"Hi, gorgeous!" Hermione said sleepily and held Fleur closer burying her face in her neck which made the blonde chuckle. "You're warm. Can't we stay like this?" Her voice was muffled by the proximity of her mouth to Fleur's skin. Her breath hitched when she felt the lioness kiss her neck, making Hermione chuckle. They dozed off again only to be woken up in less than an hour by a squeal coming from downstairs. Curious, they got up and went there to find Ginny looking rather happy. Their table was set for breakfast.

"Oh! That's why!" Ginny said as soon as she saw them.

Luna smiled at them. "I saw that Fleur's jacket was still here so I assumed you had slept here. And asked Dobby to bring food for us…" They nodded and braced themselves for Ginny's teasing.

"Food comes first! I'll tease you later!" The ginger said, taking a seat and not waiting for them to start serving herself. Harry sat by her side, Fleur and Hermione, in front of them and Luna at the head of the table.

They talked and the redhead happily complied her promise of teasing them. When Harry managed to make Ginny stop, they were both flustered. It was late so they went back to their rooms to get ready for the day as they were all in their pyjamas. Taking the clothes she used the night before, Fleur took a shower and changed while Hermione occupied herself trying to find clothes for herself.

"Babe, do you want to borrow something?"

"Eet might be a good idea…"

"I think this will fit you well." Hermione passed her a black plain tank top. "Do you need anything else?"

"Non, I'm good." She said as she got out of the bathroom, holding her dirty shirt. "I might need a kiss, zough." She added, smirking.

The request was happily complied. "You look great in my clothes…" Hermione said as she pulled away and entered the bathroom to change.

Fleur sat by the bed they had shared and begun to make it. Hermione came back a while after she finished doing it. The brunette was wearing jeans and her school bottom-up with the sleeves rolled up. They then went downstairs to wait for the others. When they were all gathered, they went to the Room of Requirement to make sure they would indeed have enough room for everyone. They had lunch there and waited for everyone to get there. The students got there in groups, most were in awe as they entered it. The room of requirement was unknown for most students and those who knew it didn't understand how it worked. Fleur herself was impressed with its capability. When they had walked in front of it, Harry asked for a room where everyone could practice Defence Against Dark Arts. Walking in, they were all fascinated by how big the room was and came to the conclusion that actually everyone would be able to simultaneously perform magic. Their group sat together, near what looked like a teacher's desk. After Hermione nodded to Harry, they stood. Everyone who had signed the parchment was there, standing and looking at them expectantly.

"Hi, guys!" Harry began after taking a deep breath. "I believe the first thing we should do is to introduce ourselves, so we" he motioned to their group, "will begin and then I'll ask each of you to come to the front, say your name, age, year and house and maybe something about why you want to be here. Ok… Well, my name is Harry, I'm 18 and obviously should be graduated but, you know, I have been occupied with the war and didn't start the seventh year at the right time. I'm a Gryffindor and my favorite subject is Defense Against Dark Arts." Ginny came next, then Luna and then a very anxious Hermione. As she finished talking, she gave space to Fleur and smiled at her.

"'ello! I'm Fleur, I'm 21 and, as most of you must 'ave noticed, I'm french so I'm from Beauxbatons. Some of you may remember me as my school's champion at zee last Triwizard tournament. And now you might be asking yourselves what I'm doing 'ere," she saw most of them nodding, "Zee 'eadmistress asked me to assist zose four. Not zat zey really need eet. But eet ees on zee statute zat zese kind of clubs must receive assistance from a graduate, not necessarily a teacher. And 'ere I am. I'm currently one of zee heads of zee Ministry's Auror Office, along with Bill Weasley." Fleur smiled and gave space for the students, who one by one walked to the front end introduced themselves.
