Thank you to everyone who reviewed. You guys are awesome. I apologize for the long wait. I wanted to write a couple chapters before posting them.

Chapter 7

"I-I don't need practice." I said.

Fleur raised an eyebrow, "Really? You are that skilled-"

I held up my hand, "No! No! That's not what I meant!"

"So you do need practice?" Fleur's eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"No!" I shouted.

The Veela brought a finger up to her lips in a gesture that said to be quite. I paused and listened. I heard quite chatter in the other room before dying down.

The Veela turned back to me with a smile. "Now what were you saying?"

I gaped. I completely forgot my train of thought. Heck, I don't even remember what the topic was. "I-What was the last thing I said?"

"You shouted 'no'." Fleur answered.

I fought not to roll my eyes, "Before that."

"You don't need practice?"

I nodded, "Oh, yeah. Right."

Before I could say anything more, she shook her head, "I must say Hermione. I'm a bit shocked and hurt."

Now I was confused, "Why?"

"I was hoping I would be your first. It makes me quite…" I could tell she was going to say angry but thought better of it. "disappointed and robbed. Tell me, who was your first?"

My eyes widened when I saw a look of murder in her eyes. I had a hard time speaking. "Um…ok. You can still have that chance. I'm still a virgin." I blushed…again.

Fleur's face was changed from anger to relief, happiness, and excitement. Her smile was breathtaking and her eyes were sparkling. Did they get darker? "You are pure?" She asked.

I slowly nodded, "Yes."

"That is gratifying." She said with a smile.

"I do not understand. You make it sound like it is a huge deal when I'm sure I won't be your first."

She looked offended, "I am not a guppy!"

"A guppy?" I asked confused.

"Yes, I'm not a guppy." She said

I shook my head, "I know you're not but what does that have to do with anything?"

"You make it sound like how you humans say, 'whore.'"

I looked at her still trying to figure out what she meant. Then it hit me. She was saying 'she wasn't a guppy' which translated to 'she wasn't a whore'.

As I realized this I willed myself not to laugh. The look on her face was priceless. When I was confident I wouldn't break down laughing, I said, "I wasn't really implying that you were…but it is interesting to see how your mind works."

She gave me another look that was indescribable but this time, I couldn't contain my laughter and I was in a ball laughing and crying. I wasn't having difficulty breathing. Fleur just continued to stare at me which didn't help.

After I got myself under control, I wiped my tears. "I'm sorry. It's also funny the way you say 'guppy'?

She looked at me confused, "What is wrong with how I say guppy?"

I broke out laughing again and the Veela looked at me as if I grew two heads. This time, I was thankful that the laughter attack wasn't as long.

"Please don't say that word again. You'll make me laugh." I looked at her and she was not amused. Ouch.

"Okay look, I'm not laughing at you. Let's change the subject. What I meant earlier was that earlier you sounded as if Veelas seduce then breed often." I said

She nodded, "Most do. I do not count as one of them, however."

There was a long silence. "You are…"

"Pure? Yes." Fleur answered.

I nodded, "I'm happy to hear that." That was another question I had answered. I wondered if she had any children.

The blond Veela gave me a loving smile. "I was saving it for someone special. I was saving it for you."

Her liquid velvet voice was pleasure against my ears. The loving and sweet words made it that much better. "That is very sweet of you, Fleur." I said blushing.

"But do not get discouraged, love. I will still be able to make you scream." Fleur said

I blushed. I didn't know what to say to that. I didn't believe saying 'thank you' was appropriate.

"There is still much more to tell you but I think it can be postponed for now." She said.

I nodded, "Alright. Good night."

"Good night, Hermione." She said, nestling in under the covers.

"Would it be better for you if you slept in the bathtub?" I asked

She looked at me confused, "No. Why?"

I shrugged, "I just thought you would like it more."

"Do you want to sleep in the bathtub?" She asked

I gave her a disbelieving look, "Of course not!"

The blond shrugged, "Then what makes you think I would enjoy it more?"

I rolled my eyes, "I just figured since you can sleep in water it would be more comfortable for you, smartass."

I heard her laugh and I smiled.

She crawled over to me and brought me to rest on her side and she held me in her arms and began singing to me softly. I quickly fell asleep to her angelic voice. Before I did, I heard her whisper, "My parents are going to love you."

The next morning, I woke up to the bright sun in my eyes. I felt a heavy weight on my body and saw Fleur and smiled.

I nudged Fleur awake and after some time she opened her eyes and smiled at me. "Hello Hermione."

I heard frantic footsteps running to my compartment door. I hear the door swing open and Ginny's voice, "Hermione! What is taking you so long? Everyone else is downstai-" She stopped, her eyes wide and her mouth open. Uh oh.

"What is that?" Ginny asked pointing to Fleur.

I got out of bed and walked towards Ginny cautiously.

"Please tell me that that's not that Veela that you are enthralled by!" Ginny spat. Fleur's eyes narrowed at the word Veela.

"Ginny-" I started but Ginny caught me off.

"No! No, Hermione. You promised me you wouldn't go near her." She said angrily.

"I know that you're upset-"

"And she is naked, Hermione!" Ginny shouted

I scoffed, "Ginny, she is not nake-" I looked at Fleur and my heart stopped. She was. What happened last night? I could have swore she was dressed just a couple minutes ago.

Fleur just looked at Ginny with a cocky smile.

If anyone has own guppies before, you know they are known for their…excessive breeding. XD

Sorry to the people who thought they would make love in this chapter. I didn't mean to make that impression. I can see how you would think that. Let me say this, I promise that Fleur and Hermione will. I want to make it more special than that and it will be.

I have good news. The next chapter will be up soon. It won't be nearly as a long wait.

What did you guys think of this chapter?
