Harry and Hermione sat across from Luna at a small round table in the living room of Luna's small flat. The air was warm and heavy with incense, something that reminded Hermione horribly of Professor Trelawney and her short stint studying Divination.

Luna was stirring a cup of tea, her thin pale wrist jingling with what appeared to be large plastic children's toys tied around her wrist by a string.

"The sound keeps the buzzarks away," Luna said dreamily, seeming to read Hermione's mind.

"Right, erm, so Luna," Harry began awkwardly, "You have a cousin…"

"I have many cousins, Harry," Luna replied, cocking her head to one side. She looked up at them with her large pale blue eyes.

"Why didn't you tell us Blaise is your cousin," Hermione cut in. She often tired of speaking to Luna. Their conversations were never straight forward and travelled in looping, winding observations.

"Yes, Blaise is a good man. But good men are not necessarily filled with good intentions… and that is why you are here?" Luna surmised.

"You think he's a good man?" Hermione asked, somewhat challengingly. Luna fixed her with her intense gaze.

"Didn't you?" Luna said softly. Hermione shivered slightly. Sometimes it felt like Luna had an ability to see through people and pull out their exact thoughts and regrets.

"We're not here about me," Hermione said quickly, "Have you been feeding Blaise information about the Order?"

Luna didn't react, although it was difficult to say if it was because of her usual demeanour or if she had anticipated the question.

"You have all fed him information about the Order," Luna replied, "Willing or unwillingly… It makes no difference what I have told him."

"Wh-what?! Luna?" Harry spluttered, "So you have told him things."

"He's a legimens, Harry, I do not know Occlumency," Luna replied, "I am telling him things whenever he uses Legilimency, whether I want to or not."

Hermione rubbed her forehead. Her head was beginning to swim in the potent heat of the room.

"So you informed him of Order activities on purpose or not?" Hermione asked tiredly.

"Some people think that when a bee stings it is on purpose," Luna said in her dreamy tone.

"Isn't it?" Harry asked, scratching his neck. Hermione sighed.

"What the hell Luna," she exclaimed loudly, "For once in your life can you just give us a straight answer instead of rambling?!"

Luna lowered her eyes to her cup of tea again. Harry looked alarmed at Hermione's outburst. He seemed to be brought back to his senses. He put a hand on Hermione's arm and squeezed.

"Hermione, this is Luna," he said firmly, "She's been at our side the whole way."

"A bee stings instinctively when it has no other option to protect itself," Luna said suddenly, looking up again.


"Shit, so Blaise was threatening Luna this whole time," Harry said, running a hand through his tousled hair, "Using force to get information and to keep her quiet… Jesus,"

"Explains why she has been so off the grid with the Order lately," Hermione said, still feeling a little bad for snapping at Luna. They were back at Grimmauld Place and discussing Luna after dinner.

"But still… she heard a lot," Harry said, "So we can assume that Blaise knows anything that Luna knows."

Hermione groaned and put her hands over her face.

"This is such a nightmare," she grumbled. Her head was a mess right now and all she could think was that it was all her fault.

"Hey, its okay," Harry said with a smile. He accessed Sirius' old drinks cabinet, "I think we just need to take our minds off it for tonight."

Hermione smiled grimly, accio-ing them some glasses.

Much later, Hermione climbed the stairs unsteadily to her room. She was still feeling consumed with guilt over Blaise. She was sitting on the edge of the bed when Fleur came in from a shower.

"Ah, Hermione," Fleur purred, leaning in to peck Hermione's lips before swishing away to get changed.

"You're here," Hermione said, "Not next door with Tonks,"

"Oui, and you are a little drunk mon amour," Fleur said with a smile. She changed into a pair of underwear and a loose tank before beginning to plait her hair to hang loosely over one shoulder.

"How is she… ole Tonks?" Hermione asked, her eyes raking down Fleur's figure. Fleur's ass was looking amazing wearing just underwear. Hermione felt a surge of possessiveness.

"She is slightly better," Fleur replied, "She seems to be crying less… But I cannot imagine it is easy losing a mother in such a way. I am about to go back to her room."

"To sleep with her?" Hermione asked. She was aware of the double meaning of that question. Fleur finished plaiting her hair, turning to face Hermione.

"To sleep in her room, oui," Fleur replied slowly, "She is still not in a very good place."

"Okay," Hermione said neutrally, lying back on the bed.

Fleur, quirking an eyebrow, finished getting ready before heading back out of the room. Hermione covered her face with her hands, exhaling slowly before getting up and leaving the room too.

She opened the door to Tonks' room without knocking. Fleur had her arms around a pale looking Tonks in bed.

"Hermione?" Tonks asked, confused.

"I heard you needed cheering up," Hermione slurred, before wandering over to climb into the bed on the other side of Tonks.

"I'm sorry, she's quite drunk," Fleur said to Tonks. Tonks laughed hollowly.

"At least somebody is having a good time," Tonks said.

"Well, I mean, you have Fleur cuddles, so you must be having a good time," Hermione said.

"Yeah, our girl is a pretty good cuddler," Tonks said, sitting back in bed.

"Our girl also looks pretty good in her night attire, huh?" Hermione said, putting an arm around Tonks. Fleur raised her eyebrows.

"Sorry, are you getting at something, Hermione?" Tonks asked, confused.

"I've heard the way you've talked about her before… and you freely admitted to finding her kiss mindblowing that time," Hermione said, leaning in.

"Hermione…" Fleur said warningly.

"Hermione, I'm not trying to move in on Fleur here," Tonks said gently.

"Why not? We're all friends here," Hermione said unsteadily, "I'm sure you're craving some comfort."

"Hermione…" Fleur warned again.

"What are you saying?" Tonks asked. She looked confused. Hermione watched her carefully. Her eyes were still marred with grief but Hermione could see a flicker of something else. Tonks licked her lips.

Needing no further prompting, Hermione dove in and kissed Tonks. Hermione could hear Fleur let out a yelp of surprise, but Tonks returned the kiss, deepening it by pushing her tongue into Hermione's mouth.

Hermione pulled away, looking at Fleur. Fleur's mouth was hanging open.

"What on Earth?" Fleur gaped.

"Isn't this what you wanted? Bedding multiple lovers? Cheering up Tonks?" Hermione asked. Fleur's brow furrowed.

"Hermione… I don't know where you are getting this from… Why are you doing this? You don't want this," Fleur replied.

"I do want this," Hermione said stubbornly, "And Tonks wants this too, don't you?"

"I… I…" Tonks' eyes were wide and she was staring back and forth between the two witches either side of her, "Is this real?"

"You want this?" Fleur repeated, looking intently at Hermione.

"I do," Hermione said firmly, "Why so reluctant? Lost the game you had when you used to bed multiple models?"

Fleur narrowed her eyes for a moment. In a second her face was impassive again, and she immediately pulled Tonks in for a deep kiss, running one hand up Tonks' toned stomach slowly. Tonks let out a moan. Fleur pulled back, looking at Hermione almost challengingly. Tonks was looking dazed, looking back and forth from Fleur to Hermione.

"Okay… this must be a dream, right?" Tonks sighed.

Hermione moved in, moving her legs so that she was straddling one of Tonk's thighs. One of her hands found its way to Tonks' breast and she began to kiss lightly at Tonks' neck before nipping, eliciting a moan from Tonks. Fleur interrupted to pull off Tonks's shirt, before straddling Tonks' other thigh. She rolled her hips seductively before kissing along Tonks' collarbone and then down her chest to suck and tease her nipple.

"Oh, Merlin…" Tonks groaned, "W-would you guys take your clothes off?"

Hermione and Fleur pulled back, staring each other down intensely while stripping off. Hermione could feel the tension coming off Fleur in waves. She was confused, she was annoyed, she was aroused. Hermione smirked, hooking a hand behind Fleur's neck and pulling her in for a kiss. While she was kissing Fleur, she felt Tonks' hand come to rest on the small of her back. She nipped at Fleur's bottom lip hard. Fleur gasped and Hermione slipped her tongue into her mouth.

"You two are so hot," Tonks said appreciatively as she lightly spanked Fleur's ass. Breaking her kiss with Fleur, Hermione then positioned herself between Tonks' legs, kissing her way up the inside of the older woman's thighs.

"Sweet, sweet Merlin," Tonks muttered, her breath becoming uneven. Fleur came to lie beside her, cupping her face and pulling her in for a kiss as Hermione began to lick her pussy. Fleur's hand ran down Tonks' cheek and down to grope at her chest. Tonks let out a loud moan as Hermione's tongue found her clit. Fleur gently ended her kiss with Tonks, watching Hermione go down on Tonks before sliding down the bed. Positioning herself behind Hermione, who was on all fours, Fleur ran her hand between Hermione's legs. Hermione was soaking wet. Fleur hooked one hand around Hermione's hips before plunging two fingers of her other hand deep within Hermione. Hermione let out an appreciative moan as Fleur began to fuck her. Tonks watched, her back arching in pleasure.

It didn't take long for Tonks to finish, shortly followed by Hermione.. Fleur moved to lie against Tonks, her arm loosely resting over the latter's waist. Hermione knelt back between Tonks' legs, watching her girlfriend lie against Tonks. The possessiveness surged within her again and she moved to crawl slowly up Fleur's body. Fleur released Tonks to lie flat on her back as Hermione made her way up to kiss her lips.

"I knew you two would look bloody sexy when you're getting it on," Tonks commented, propping her head up on one hand. Hermione moved to kiss at Fleur's neck and earlobe as her hands roamed freely over Fleur's body.

"I want you to be mine," Hermione murmured as her fingers made their way inside Fleur. Fleur let out a moan as Hermione began to fuck her, hard. Hermione nipped at her neck, moaning herself as Fleur arched her back beneath her. She kissed down to Fleur's perfect breasts, sucking and nipping at her nipples before kissing her way back up Fleur's chest.

"Mon amour," Fleur moaned, shutting her eyes in pleasure.

Hermione could feel Fleur tightening against her fingers. As Fleur began to climax, Hermione bit her collarbone. Fleur let out a strangled moan as she finished.

Rolling off Fleur, Hermione drew Fleur and Tonks in with an arm each before falling blissfully off to sleep.


Awaking to the heavy stream of sun on her face, Hermione groaned. She suddenly became aware that she was naked and that there was not one, but two, naked bodies pressed against her.

Her eyes flickered open and she saw Fleur rubbing at her face as she woke up. Tonks let out a yawn and stretched before opening her eyes.

Fleur looked at Hermione, furrowing her brows before sitting up on the bed and turning her back to Tonks and Hermione. She pulled her loose tank on quickly.

"So…" Tonks said slowly, "Are we gonna talk about what happened last night?"

Hermione swallowed awkwardly.

"I was in a bad headspace," Hermione said honestly.

"We all were," Tonks agreed, "Shall we just enjoy it for what it was and never bring it up again?"

"I think that would be best," Fleur commented, her back still to them as she pulled on her underwear.

"Fleur…" Hermione began. But Fleur stood up and stretched before walking wordlessly out of the room.

"I know jealousy was one of the many things contributing to your bad headspace," Tonks said gently, pulling a tee over her head, "But you're not the only one who feels jealous."

"Have you seen her?!" Hermione spluttered, "Everyone wants her,"

"It doesn't mean she doesn't get jealous too," Tonks said sagely.

"You're right… I've been stupid," Hermione said, shaking her head.

"I think its fair to say we all have been stupid," Tonks said, her mouth quirking into a smile, "But how about we all just get our shit together and get out of this dysfunctional spiral?"

Hermione nodded, running a hand through her hair.

She had to set things straight with Fleur. She couldn't afford to mess things up with her again.
