Chapter 5

I woke up the next morning with a huge headache. As it was I already was exhausted. I couldn't sleep at all not knowing if Fleur was alright. I went back and forth with the idea of worrying about Fleur and her just tricking me to get what she wants.

I got ready for class and went to them as usual. In between classes, Ginny, Ron and Harry kept checking on me, making sure I didn't go to the lake. As much as I loved them, they were driving me mad.


After classes ended, my friends continued to be stuck to me like glue. They kept a very watchful eye on me on every move I made. It was a bit awkward when they were staring at me during meal times. No matter how many times I assured them, they didn't let up.

I was busy helping Harry with his final task, "It sounds like you will need to find your path." I said to him.

His eyebrows scrunched together, "Find my path?"

I nodded, "Yeah."

"What kind of path?" He asked

I looked at the note again, "It's not very clear. Considering seeing how this tournament is, I'd say that pretty much anything is up in the air."

Harry sighed, "Dumbledore needs to give me more hints. I'm going in blind."

I shook my head, "You know as well as I do that Dumbledore physically can't."

Harry stood up abruptly, "I know. I just hate this. Why doesn't whoever signed me up go through this bleeding tournament himself!" Harry said

I smiled at him with sympathy, "You'll get through this, Harry. You always do. You've been through worse and you're not alone. You have a lot of supporters and friends."

He smiled at me thankfully. "Thanks." Harry took back his seat and started thinking.

I continued trying to think of what type of path the hint was referring to. It was just too vague. I put my hands up to my temples and started rubbing them. I felt horrible that I couldn't help Harry further.

The tournament was very close…days even.


It was now late and I decided to head to bed. I walked over to my bedroom cubicle and the sight before me made my heart drop and my breathing stop. Disbelief was written across my face.

There, standing by my open window, stood Fleur, more importantly...she was completely naked…and she's got legs!

She was just standing there, staring at me with a smile on her face. Her hands were behind her, leaning against the window pane with her legs crossed.

I swallowed the lump in my throat. 'There is no way this is happening.' I thought to myself.

"Hello Hermione." She whispered.

When I didn't say anything, she uncrossed her legs and walked slowly towards me, her hips swinging, seductively.

I blinked and with each step she took, my heart raced faster and faster. My breath and thoughts ceased.

"H-Hi!" I squeaked. I felt my face burning at my stupid and embarrassing tone.

She just smiled wider, "So cute!" she whispered, bringing her right hand to cup my left cheek.

"W-what are you doing here? H-how did y-you get in? How d-did you g-get l-legs?" I asked, and blushed harder.

Fleur let out a small laugh. I loved her laugh. It was so musical and enchanting.

She took another step closer to me and I fought my eyes to stay above her neck. Why must she be naked?

"You are just too adorable; I could just eat you up." She whispered. I could feel her breath on my lips and shuddered.

My eyes widened. I forgot about that. I casually stepped away from her as to not aggravate her or raise any suspicions. As soon as I moved away, she looked hurt. My heart sank at her expression.

"I'm glad you are okay." I managed to say, referring to that fight she had with the brunette.

She smiled and I smiled back.

"Why are you here?" I asked.

She shrugged, "I needed to make sure you were okay."

I nodded, "I am. Thank you."

She smiled and I smiled back, hinting to her that she could now leave. Instead of doing so, she walked passed me and began looking around my room. I frowned when I realized she wasn't taking the hint, either that or completely ignoring it.

I watched her taking in my room, rummaging through my things. She was like a newcomer. Everything seemed to be foreign to her. It was actually cute watching her expressions change from curiosity to confusion to wonder to amazement.

She walked to my dresser and began rummaging through it. When she picked up my red laced brassiere, I ran to her and yanked it from her hands. She just smirked and before she could reach in and grab my things, I slammed the drawer shut. I went to my desk and got a lock and locked it, preventing her from opening it again. She grabbed he lock, examined it and let it go. She sighed in disappointment and continued looking around.

"Why are you here?" I asked.

She just ignored me and looked around. She stopped at my desk, holding my stereo. She ran her fingers over it, "What is this?" she asked

"A stereo." I answered.

She looked at me in confusion.

"It plays music." I said.

As soon as I said that her eyes lit up, "Make it work, please."

I chuckled and turned it on.

The stereo played 'Just the Way You Are' by Bruno Mars. She smiled as she listened it.

The next song that played was 'Nights in White Satin' by The Moody Blues.

"It's beautiful." She whispered.

I nodded, "I agree." I was still affected by her lack of clothing. I focused my gaze somewhere other than her body. It was not without difficulty, though.

Just as the song ended, we heard footsteps down in the common room. We both froze, not wanting to get caught. When they faded away, I let out a breath that I held.

"It's late. You should probably go." I said to Fleur.

She turned to me and said, "I cannot. Someone will spot me, teachers are patrolling the area."

I gawked, "You planned this didn't you?"

She smiled and gave me a wink in response.

"Well, you'll have to risk that." I said.

"Why can't I stay here?" she asked in a soft voice.

"What do you mean why? It's against the rules." I said.

She smiled seductively at me, "That did not stop you from seeing me."

I blushed, "That's different."

"How so?" she asked with a grin.

I really didn't have an answer, "Because."

She grinned wider, knowing that I didn't have an excuse. "Well, if I get caught, I will tell them I was up in your room-"

I held up my hands, "Okay, okay! You can sleep here tonight."

She grinned and went to my bed, lying down in the middle. She spread her body so that she took up the whole bed, leaving room only enough for me.

I fought a moan when I saw her lying on my bed, naked in such a seductive way.

"On the floor." I said, nodding down. I thought to myself that I was a fool to pass her up.

She gave me a horrified look, "The floor? Is that how you treat your mate?"

"You are not my mate." I said

She lifted her head off the pillow and narrowed her eyes at me, "Don't say that. I am!" She said, putting her head back down onto the pillow.

"Are you going to move to the floor or not?" I asked.

She shook her head, "No. What's mine is yours and what yours is mine."

I rolled me eyes and sighed, "Well look, you can't go to sleep like that. You have to put on some clothes."

She turned her head to me, "Why?"

"Because you need to." I said.

"You land animals are so peculiar. I'm not putting clothes on, plus they are uncomfortable."

"I'm not an animal." I said.

"You are to me." She fought.

I dropped it and said, "Scoot over."

Fleur gave me a strange look, "I gave you room."

"I want more." I said

She smiled, "I hope you are this bossy during love making." She said, moving over.

"Shut up. Nothing is going to happen tonight." I said, getting into bed.

"Tonight? So when can we-"

I held up a finger, "Never."

She smirked, "We'll see."

A part of me was nervous; I honestly believed in my heart that she wouldn't eat me. But what would I wake up to if I fell asleep?

"Did you know that Veelas talk during love making?" she asked.

I blushed, "I'm guessing not about the weather or how their day went."

She laughed, "No. We talk about what we want you to do to us and how great and satisfying you make us feel."

I didn't know what to say, "Alright." I felt my heart rate pick up and I quickly tried to calm my body down.

She put her hand on my shoulder, "Hermione, you can relax, I won't try anything that you don't want me to."

I scoffed, "Like you could make me do anything I didn't want to." I knew she could. I just didn't want to seem weak.

Fleur raised an eyebrow, "I'm being respectful, Hermione. I could you know."

"Yeah, right."

"You want to see? Do you dare me? I can make you kiss me or do whatever I want you to do." she said.

I rolled my eyes, "Sure."

"You won't be mad if I test you?" she asked.

I shook my head, "It's not going to work."

She closed her eyes and seemed to be concentrating. I just looked at her, waiting to see what happens.

Moments later, I smell something delicious. It was ocean, oak, coconut and something else I couldn't place. I felt my body tingle. I felt my head become fuzzy. It was like a drug, like I was high. I felt my whole body temperature rise. It startled me when I came to the realization that I loved this feeling.

Fleur voice brought me to her attention. She was singing. Her voice was so beautiful that I could cry.

She was looking at me with lustful eyes. Something came over me. I had to have her. I looked into her eyes and launched at her, claiming her lips.

She brought her hand to the back of my head, pulling me closer. We kissed passionately for several moments before she broke the kiss.

I grunted in disapproval.

"As much as I want you, not tonight. I don't want you to do anything that you'll regret. We will make love, I promise but I will not force myself on you." She whispered, brushing her thumb along my lips.

"I just want you to see that I'm truly your mate, that we are soul mates. If I wasn't, I wouldn't have stopped, nor would I have been able to enthrall you that powerfully. Good night." She whispered, turning her back to me and fell asleep, leaving me hot and bothered.

What do you think?
