Chapter 3, In Her Element.

If Fleur was asked what her favorate thing about Hermione was, she could go on for hours describing all of the little details that made the brunette perfect in her eyes.

It's fair to say that among all of her qualities, intelligence is one of the first that comes to mind, along with compassion and an iron will. So it shouldn't really be suprising that teaching would be an almost perfect career choice for the young witch. At least, these are the thoughts that pass through Fleurs mind as she observes, (spies), through the window of her girlfriends classroom.

After finishing her stack of papers and with no more classes today, Fleur couldn't think of a better time to see Hermione teach for the first time. With alchemy being an optional subject that Fleur never took, she never bothered to learn anymore than the description of the class. "An ancient science concerned with the study of the four basic elements" didn't grab her attention like some of the other choices. A decision she was starting to regret as she watched the brunette effortlesly fuse the fire and rock in her hands into a smoldering ball of lava, showing it to her students like it was any other regular stone.

If there were a mirror nearby, Fleur would see the same amazed and intrigued expresion on the class' faces that her own held.

She continued to watch as she paired up the group and gave each a sample of fire and rock to try it themselves. Hermione began to cirlce the room, observing her students and watching for mistakes. After a few minutes there were varying results for each pair, and while she had to extinguish an overflowing pool of lava on one of the tables, most of them succeded.

Fleur felt a wave of pride for her witch. "Of course she is a natural in the classroom as she is everywhere else".

The blonde was brought out of her thoughts by the chiming of bells, signaling the end of the period and the day. She watched the brunette wave her strudents out the door and sit at her desk. She didn't notice two of the students walk back into the room until they stood in front of her.

Fleur realised that they were the two that messed up and wondered what they were doing. A thought that was answered when Hermione began to go through the lava experiment with them again.

After multiple attempts and fires the two girls looked pleased that they had the techhnique down and gave a greatful look to their professer. Hermione collected some work off of her desk before following the two out the door, talking happily with them.

Fleur decided that she'd done enough snooping and headed back to their room with a smile etched onto her face. "I will give her some extra special cuddles tonight".

Later that night, they were snuggled tightly under their covers. Hermione had enjoyed their intense cuddling sesion in front of the fire earlier and the blonde was just about to drift into a blissful slumber when the brunette spoke. "I know you were watching my lesson today".

Blue eyes snapped open to meet depp brown ones. Hremione had an eyebrow raised and a small smirk adorning her lips. "If it wasn't for the extra special treatment tonight i'd scold you for spying on me"

Fleur showed mock offence at her words. "I did no such zing! I was merely observing my beutiful girlfriend passionatley imparting knowledge onto the minds of curious and enthusiastic students"

"How long have you been practicing that little speach?"

Fleur cloed her eyes and tightened her hold on the younger woman. "I don't know what you're talking about ma belle"

Hermione sighed with a smile and embraced the blondes warmth. "I'll let you off this time".
