L'amour Toujour
C15: Love Is In The Air
Standard Disclaimer: I don't own any of the recognizable characters
The following day the two sisters woke up incredibly giddy, and not only because both of their mates would be arriving this afternoon but also because they woke up entangled in each other, and while that was nothing new, the way they were today didn't happen often.
Luna was lying on top of Hermione and was thoroughly teasing her sister's nipples, while Hermione on her turn kept squeezing her sister's shapely butt.
It also wasn't because they were horny, but mostly because this was how they dealt with nerves on a regular basis, especially after the year they had at school. "You're wet aren't you sister? I can feel your juices dripping onto my legs." Hermione said teasingly.
Luna smiled at that. "You're the one to talk 'Mione. You're just as if not more wet than I am. I'm sure Fleur is going to ask at least a few questions about that."
"I'm sure she will, and I will definitely tell her that you did a marvelous job in preparing me for her this morning, but since you promised Mama that you and Gabrielle wouldn't take that step just yet I will make sure that your overactive hormones won't cloud your judgment today." Hermione said with a soft smile.
Luna smiled at her sister. "That would be much appreciated, because I honestly don't know if I trust myself at this point."
Hermione smiled and pressed a soft kiss to her sister's cheek. "Then I will do whatever I need to. What are you in the mood for, my Moon?"
"Well, there is something I've wanted to try for a while now, and I was hoping I would be willing to try it with me?" Luna asked hopefully.
"You know I'm game for anything sister. It's all about you for the moment." Hermione said with a loving smile.
Luna smiled and kissed her sister before crawling up her body, settling her lower half directly over Hermione's mouth, and from the mischievous glint in the brunette's eye, she knew exactly what the blonde had in mind. "I know this is a bit unorthodox, but it's all I have been able to think about lately."
Hermione smiled and wrapped her arms around her sister's legs. "I'm certainly not complaining Lu, because I'm sure I've got one of the best views in the world right now, and if this is what you need to get your libido under control, then I will gladly do this for my baby sister. We both promised our mothers and our mates to keep taking care of each other when the need arose."
Luna smiled and moaned as Hermione started eating her out, not only wanting to make sure her sister enjoyed herself, but also that would have plenty of time left to get ready for breakfast.
"I have to say that it gives an extra dimension to our usual mornings when I see you like this, 'Mione." Luna said huskily.
Hermione smiled at her sister. "I happen to agree with you there, because trust me that at some point you will be the one in my position Lu."
Luna smiled at that as she just couldn't restrain herself anymore, moaning loudly as she came. "Thank you 'Mione. I really needed that."
"Any time Lu, you know that. Your happiness and comfort will always be one of my top priorities, no matter what I have to do to ensure it." Hermione said with a soft smile.
Luna smiled and settled herself against her sister's side. "I know, and you know the reverse it true too. Like Mama and Mummy said, there will always be a special bond between us."
Hermione smiled and nodded at that. "Yes there will, and we know that both Fleur and Gabrielle feel that bond, but I think we should continue this talk in the shower, because I wouldn't put it past aunt Cissa to send either of our mothers up to come and check on us."
"That does sound like them, given that they've been loathe to let us sleep alone last night." Luna said with a soft smile.
"We may have brought that on ourselves, Lu. We were very clingy with them in the last two days, and while understandable from their part, it is also something we should've expected." Hermione said with a soft smile.
Luna nodded at that. "That's true, although I doubt either of us mind that. I'm honestly looking forward to what will happen when they see how you and Fleur are together. I have a feeling you will manage to shock them at least a little."
Hermione smiled as she thought of her mate's arrival. "I honestly have the same feeling, especially since we've not physically seen each other for so long."
"Oh I have no doubt that it will be very physical, and speaking of which, we should really go and take our shower if we want to be ready in time." Luna said softly.
Hermione nodded and smiled as she pressed a quick kiss to her sister's cheek before rolling out of bed and making her way to the shower, knowing that her sister would be right behind her.
As they stepped under the spray together, Luna wasted little time in pressing herself against Hermione's back, knowing that her sister loved it when she washed her like this. "Oh, today is going to be one of those days is it?"
Luna smiled at her. "Of course it is. Today is special for both of us and that deserves a special treat for my sister, and since you indulged me, I will make sure that you will be as prepared for your mate as you can be."
Hermione smiled and let her sister wash her body and hair as long as she pleased, since she knew that today would be hard on both of them, especially after everything they had experienced over the last few days. They wouldn't trade it for the world of course, since they had their mothers back, but at the same time they had missed having each other this close.
…
After a lovely breakfast the entire family had reconvened to the den, since they all wanted to welcome their guests for the summer and of course both Bellatrix and Pandora wanted to spend a little more time with their daughters while they still had the chance.
"So sweeties. You two sure took your time this morning. Is there any particular reason for that?" Pandora asked with a soft smile.
Luna smiled and cuddled into her mother. "We were a bit amorous this morning and one thing led to another as it usually does when we feel like that, and after talking for a bit we figured that it would be easier if we took a shower together so we could still be somewhat on time."
Bellatrix smiled at that as she shared a look with her youngest sister. "It's like looking into a mirror isn't it Cissy? I vividly remember us doing exactly the same when we were their age."
Narcissa smiled and nodded. "Trust me that I remember too Bella, and even after all these years it has not lost its shine." The blonde said with a wink.
"Does that mean what I think it does?" Hermione asked softly.
Bellatrix smiled and gave her daughter's side a squeeze. "Of course it does sweetling. It's not like you, your mate and your sister haven't done the same, if I am to believe your mate."
Hermione blushed a little at that as she shared a look with Luna. "I figured as much, I just didn't want to assume. It is still a bit surreal to think about the fact that mine and Luna's lives mirror yours and Mummy's so much."
Bellatrix and Pandora smiled at that. "Since you resemble us both in looks and personality, it is honestly little wonder that our lives mirror each other."
"Sometimes a little bit too much according to our dear aunts. Aunt Cissa especially has said that I resemble you a bit too much." Hermione said with a soft smile.
Narcissa smiled at that. "There have been numerous times during Christmas where you acted or reacted exactly like Bellatrix would. The resemblance was uncanny."
Hermione smiled and cuddled into her mother. "Given everything we know now, it is little surprise, and I also don't think that it is a bad thing that I resemble my mother."
Bellatrix grinned and pressed a kiss to her daughter's head. "Anyone who says otherwise does not know what they are talking about, family excepted of course, because that is usually done teasingly, and as you may have noticed, Cissa and I love to tease each other.
"Hermione and I do the same thing Mama, I'm sure that is a sibling thing." Luna said with a soft smile.
Pandora smiled at that. "I think so too, little Moon. Cissa and Bella always had the ability to expertly push each other's buttons, but at the same time they have never truly been able to live without each other, and from what we've seen from you two we know that you two definitely share the same bond they do."
The two young witches smiled at their mothers. "We've known and felt that for years, and after we learned the truth it all made sense too. Even before we discovered that we were sisters we were closer than we saw with our other friends. I honestly think only Ginny has become closer to us than anyone else, well maybe with the exception of the twins, but they are a special case. We were and remain each other's friends and confidants and honestly I don't see that changing." Hermione said with a soft smile to her sister.
Luna smiled and gave Hermione's hand a squeeze. "Neither do I 'Mione. No one could ever come between what we have."
"I think no one would want to come between us Lu. Fleur understands what we share and I think as soon as you and Gabrielle have talked to each other she will understand that too. I know that neither of them would want to come between us, and I know for a fact Ginny is cheering us on every chance she gets." Hermione said sweetly.
The blonde smiled and leaned over to press a kiss to her sister's cheek. "On the contrary, I think that the four of us will be quite the force to be reckoned with by the time everything kicks off."
Bellatrix and Pandora smiled at that. "To be honest we are very excited and curious to see exactly how your mating bonds will show themselves. We have heard a little bit from Fleur, but of course it is better to witness those things ourselves." Pandora said softly.
Both Hermione and Luna blushed at that. "Then I hope you are ready to see your firstborn rush to her soulmate and kiss her senseless when they arrive, because that is probably what is going to happen this afternoon."
"Trust me that you can't do anything that we either haven't seen before or haven't done ourselves at some point in our lives, as long as you don't literally rip each other's clothes off and start rutting on the spot, we're fine with anything. We met Fleur a couple of times before you came home and she made it very clear how much she loves you." Bellatrix said with a soft smile.
Hermione smiled and pressed a kiss to her mother's cheek. "I don't think we would be okay with everyone being a witness to us going at it, at most it would be Luna who we are comfortable in watching us, so you don't have to worry about us humping each other in the living room, and besides I like this dress."
Bellatrix smiled at that. "You sound almost like your aunt just there."
Narcissa huffed at that. "Well excuse me for having fashion standards in my own house."
Bellatrix grinned at her sister. "I was teasing Cissy. You know I would never do something like that anymore, I haven't done so since we were little girls and even then it was only one time."
The blonde sighed softly as she smiled at her sister. "I know, but your line of serious and jest is very thin still, sister."
"She has a point there love. Even I sometimes struggle determining when something you say is a joke." Pandora said softly.
Bellatrix only smiled as she pulled her daughter close, knowing she was beaten for the moment, while Hermione cuddled further into her.
…
A few hours later the Floo burned green as Fleur and Gabrielle stepped out, both of them smiling as they saw the family sitting together, talking softly amongst each other.
Narcissa was of course the first to notice them and smiled brightly as they all stood. "Welcome back dear, and with such lovely company too. This is your sister I presume." The blonde asked with a kind smile.
Fleur smiled and nodded as Gabrielle blushed prettily. "Indeed it is, don't be shy ma petite, introduce yourself."
That only darkened Gabrielle's blush. "Bonjour. My name is Gabrielle Delacour. It is a pleasure to meet you all." She said softly as she looked around the room to everyone, until her eyes landed on Luna.
"It is a pleasure to meet you too Gabrielle. I trust your sister has told you about us?" Narcissa asked kindly.
The blonde nodded, never letting her eyes stray from Luna, who herself was sporting a healthy blush. "Oui Madame Black. Fleur has told me almost everything."
Narcissa smiled at her. "That is good to hear, dear. Please call me Narcissa."
"Let's not stall Narcissa. We all know that both she and Luna are nervous enough, and we shouldn't keep Hermione and Fleur parted too long either, who knows what that might lead to." Bellatrix said with a soft smile as they stood and made their way over to the two blondes.
Luna and Gabrielle shuffled towards each other, blushing slightly as they stared each other. "It is good too see you again Luna. I have missed you." Gabrielle said softly.
"I have missed you too, and I know we both have a lot of questions for each other. Shall we find a spot where we can talk in private?" Luna asked with a soft smile.
Gabrielle nodded as the two turned to Bellatrix and Pandora. "Go on ahead sweetie. We'll make proper introductions later." Pandora said with a sweet smile.
The two girls smiled before almost running off together, which left Hermione and Fleur looking at each other with increasing excitement. "Don't be shy now little love. Go and say hi to your mate." Bellatrix said with a little nudge to her daughter.
That seemed to break any spell they were under before Hermione literally jumped into her mate's arms, kissing her deeply. "I've missed you so much love. You were all I could think about." Hermione said softly.
Fleur smiled at her. "I've missed you too mon amour. I'm so happy to have you in my arms again after so many months. Nights were cold without you in my arms."
"For the foreseeable future that is right where I will be, baby. I think our sisters will be otherwise occupied for a bit." Hermione said softly.
"They probably will, but it wouldn't do for us if we immediately jumped into bed." Fleur said with a soft smile.
Hermione pouted a little and nodded at her mate. "You're right of course, and since I know you already know my mothers, that at least saves introductions."
Fleur smiled as they sat down next to Bellatrix and Pandora, who had already cuddled up again. "I can certainly see where you got your beauty and brains from, as well as your charming personality."
Hermione smiled and kissed the blonde softly. "Having spent three days with my mothers, I can finally fully agree with that."
Both Bellatrix and Pandora smiled at that. "Why thank you sweetie. That means a lot to us, and I don't think anyone would hold it against either of you if you want to get… reacquainted, shall we say." Pandora said with a dreamy smile.
Hermione blushed a little at that. "I know Mummy, but knowing us that will probably take all day."
Pandora smiled sweetly at her daughter. "We understand that little love, and we are okay with that. It's been months since you've seen each other, and we have all summer to spend time with each other. Take today with your mate and then we'll see you at dinner."
Hermione smiled and hugged her mothers tightly before looking expectantly at her mate. "If you're sure then of course I won't say no, mon amour."
"I think we are well overdue for a bit of reconnecting." Hermione said softly.
Fleur smiled at her and gave her a soft kiss as they stood and made their way up the stairs, both witches being incredibly giddy as they made their way to Hermione's bedroom.
"So? How long do you think Luna and Gabrielle will be able to keep their hands to themselves." Hermione asked once they were in the bedroom.
Fleur smiled as she waved her hand to undress them. "They are still young mon amour, and a Veela goes through maturity just as everyone else. Having her soulmate close will actually help them take it slow. We were sort of powerless against our bond in that aspect."
"In hindsight it is not like either of us minded that particular fact, but I do hope that they will be able to come to a consensus. I would hate for them to feel the same things we did." Hermione said softly.
"I don't think they will Hermione, mainly because Gabrielle doesn't have to hold back the truth, since Luna already knows the truth. For me I had to be very careful not to accidentally rush you and give you too much information at once." Fleur said softly as the two lovers laid down on the bed.
Hermione smiled and kissed her mate softly. "In hindsight it would've made a lot of things easier, but I'm ultimately glad that you managed to wait until the time was right, because I don't think I would've been able to comprehend that and everything else that Luna and I had discovered."
Fleur merely smiled and kissed her softly as she pulled the brunette close, both of them more than content to talk about everything they had been up to over the past couple of months that they hadn't talked about yet.
…
In the library, in Luna's private corner, she and Gabrielle had only just taken a seat next to each other, both of them not entirely sure how start a conversation with the other. "Is it me or is this entirely too awkward. We never had issues just talking to each other." Luna said softly.
Gabrielle smiled shyly at that. "I know, but that was before I realized who you are to me, and while Fleur talked to me about how it would feel when I would meet my mate, I never thought it would be this instant. I honestly don't know what to say right now."
Luna smiled at that. "I understand, and I'll admit it is the reason I am also a bit at a loss on what to say."
"It shouldn't have to be this hard. We're friends first and foremost." Gabrielle said with a slight pout.
Luna smiled and pulled the blonde into her side. "Yes, that we are. We can take this at any pace we're both comfortable with. Our benefit is that we don't have to tiptoe around our mating bond like our sisters did. I know that I could never romantically love anyone else then you and perhaps that should be our starting point."
Gabrielle nodded and smiled. "Yes, it should, although I would like to know why you specifically said that you could never romantically love another."
"It has to do with the way our family works. Hermione and I share a bond that goes deeper than a regular sibling bond. She suffers from a curse that stems from the way our family got our magic. The eldest of a generation suffers from a form of insanity and the youngest is usually one of the few things that can keep them anchored to reality. It has been that way from our family's early history. I can honestly say that I love Hermione as much as I love you, but it is a very different type of love." Luna said honestly.
Gabrielle smiled at her mate. "I know, Fleur told me a bit about it, but I really needed to hear it from you to believe it. It is something I am not really familiar with, but now knowing this I can feel it too, and not only through the bond we share, but also in my very blood. Like my Veela is telling me that what you feel for your sister cannot be a threat to our feelings for each other."
"I'll be honest and say that I felt the same when Fleur and Hermione started getting serious last Christmas, but I quickly realized then is the same I feel now. What I feel for Hermione may be similar, but could never compare to what I feel for you. Your sister called it two sides of the same coin, and I think that is the best description of what I feel for you and her." Luna said with a soft smile.
Gabrielle smiled and rested her head on Luna's shoulder. "I'm glad we got the awkward part out of the way. This feels almost normal now, although I will admit that I'm a little bit jealous of your sister. From what Fleur has told me you two often help each other settle each other's hormones."
Luna nodded at that. "Yes she does, and I do the same for her when Fleur is not there. It is a way to help with the separation, which honestly worries me a little because I know from Hermione how much it hurts to be parted and I don't want you to go through that."
Gabrielle smiled at that. "I understand and you don't have to worry. We won't feel the separation until we actually complete our bond, which my sister was very adamant about that we wait with until we're a bit older for exactly that reason."
"I know, my mothers said basically the same thing, but I also know that we will feel the separation none the less." Luna said softly.
Gabrielle giggled at that. "To be honest, we probably won't. I've had a bit of a falling out with my mother because of the fact that I already found my mate, with her stating that I was far too young to know for sure. Fleur has basically taken me under her wing and I will be attending Hogwarts for at least the coming year."
"I'm sorry your mother was so unreasonable Gabrielle." Luna said softly.
"It's okay. Things were strained as it was because of the fact that I took Fleur's side when they fell out over Hermione and her move to England. My announcement was merely the icing on the cake so to speak. I'm honestly glad that it happened because I really can't wait to see how we can explore our relationship at school." Gabrielle said sweetly.
Luna smiled at the petite blonde. "I'm sure we will have plenty of opportunity, and if you're sorted in Ravenclaw there is a definite chance we will become roommates too, if you wouldn't mind having Hermione there too."
"I honestly wouldn't mind because it would help me get comfortable with witnessing those types of affection, and if Fleur was right that we are also bonded through Prophecy, I have a feeling it will help all three of us in the end." Gabrielle said with a soft smile.
Luna smiled at her as they looked deeply into each other's eyes. "Is it bad that I really want to kiss you right now?"
Gabrielle blushed a little but shook her head. "No, because it has also been on my mind for the past hour or so."
The two girls slowly moved towards each other before kissing each other softly, mostly feeling things out between them for the moment. "You probably have the softest lips I've ever had the pleasure of kissing."
That only darkened the young Veela's blush. "You were my first kiss, so I honestly don't have any other thing to compare it too. I did feel like I was in heaven when we were kissing."
Luna smiled at that. "It felt the same for me to be honest. I never felt like this whenever I kiss Hermione, or even your sister."
"You've kissed Fleur?" Gabrielle asked softly.
Luna nodded at her. "Last Christmas when we were talking about everything she kissed me and I just couldn't help but lose myself a bit. Kissing you is very similar but infinitely better."
Gabrielle smiled and pressed a kiss to her mate's lips as the two girls cuddled up even closer to each other, getting to know each other just by being close to each other.
…
Later that evening, well after dinner, Hermione for the first time in a very long time was not in bed with her sister, but with her mate, which honestly made her feel a little bit conflicted. "What's wrong mon amour?" Fleur asked softly.
"I don't know, it'll take a bit of getting used to not going to sleep and waking up next to Luna after so many months of just having her in bed with me. I'm honestly not complaining, but it just is a bit of a switch." Hermione said with a soft smile.
Fleur smiled and kissed her. 'While I know I am not your sister, I will do my absolute best to be a good substitute for her."
Hermione smiled at that. "You know that I would love to wake up to you every day of my life if I could, but with everything we've learned my bond with Luna has grown a lot stronger too, especially now that my mothers are back in our lives. We've learned so much in the span of a few days that I'm still processing." She said as she cuddled into the older blonde.
Fleur smiled and wrapped an arm around her mate. "I can understand that love, and you know you can take all the time you need to process. There is no rush."
Hermione smiled at that. "I know baby, but tonight is for us and I want to properly focus on us for the next couple of weeks, and speaking of that, I think we should surprise my family and make up for the things we didn't do this afternoon."
Fleur smiled at that. "I'm all yours tonight, mon amour."
Hermione grinned and rolled the blonde to her back. "I was hoping you would say that, because I really want to make love to you tonight. I've been craving your touch for weeks." She said as she started kissing the blonde's neck.
Fleur moaned softly as she let her love explore at her leisure, since the brunette seemed hellbent on re-memorizing all of her sensitive spots, an exploration she did not mind one single bit. "I must say mon amour, I always like the way you start our little trysts."
Hermione smiled at that. "I can't help but want to memorize every single delicious curve of yours after being parted from you for five months, and I intend to make a good start tonight, because I honestly don't know how much longer I can contain my lust for you."
Fleur smiled and pulled the brunette into a kiss. "Then don't mon amour, because I can feel my Veela is acting up because you are teasing me so. We have all summer to get reacquainted with each other's bodies."
Hermione's eyes darkened with lust as she tweaked her mate's nipples softly, getting a long drawn out moan from the blonde. "Is my Veela Princess getting that excited already? That she can't take a little bit of teasing from her loving mate?"
Fleur actually growled softly as her eyes slowly turned to an amber color. "Trust me that I am more than capable of taking a bit of teasing 'ermione, but this is more than just a bit, especially after not seeing you for nearly six months."
Hermione was a bit shocked to see that change in her mate's eyes and overall demeanor, but also couldn't deny that it turned her on a lot. "I'm sorry love, what can I do to make it better?" She asked coyly.
"I need to feel you inside of me 'ermione. I do not care how." Fleur said huskily.
Hermione smiled and kissed her lover passionately. "Of course love, I think I have just the thing that will help us here." She said as she leaned over the blonde to take something from her bedside table.
Fleur quirked an eyebrow as she saw Hermione take out a strap-on dildo, which she felt was enchanted too. "What's this mon amour, keeping things from me?"
Hermione smiled at her. "Of course not love. It was a gift from my mothers, since they knew what was going to happen when we would reunite, they bought this for me. It's enchanted for both of our pleasure and it will feel as if it is real."
Fleur grinned at that. "Then I should definitely thank your mothers tomorrow, right now however I am more interested in feeling that inside of me."
"Of course baby. Give me a moment to strap myself in. I'm still working on a charm that will do that for me." Hermione said with a loving smile as she strapped herself in, before proceeding to give her mate another kiss.
"That is something we can work on in the next couple of weeks, mon amour, now please, fuck me like you mean it. I'm not made of glass after all." Fleur said huskily.
Hermione smiled and spread the blonde's legs, seeing that her mate was absolutely soaking. "Of course love, just tell me if I go too far or too fast."
Fleur only nodded before moaning loudly as Hermione slipped the strap-on into her, and for her it felt nothing short of heaven. She had also never been stretched like this before, but it was something she could definitely get used to.
Hermione was trying her hardest to find a rhythm and get used to the movements of making love to Fleur like this. "You're so tight baby, I could get used to this."
"You are not the only one mon amour. I would love to see you in my position at some point this summer. It is truly a one of a kind feeling." Fleur said through the string of moans that came out of her mouth.
Due to how new this was for both of them, it didn't take long for both witches to moan out their orgasms, where Hermione's was a bit stronger because of how amplified the sensations were. "That was amazing. Did you have fun love?" Fleur asked with a slight shudder as Hermione pulled out of her and then laid down next to her.
Hermione only nodded and cuddled into the blonde as Fleur magically undid the straps and sent the strap-on to the bathroom so they could clean it later. "I can honestly say that it was the most unique experience in my life, and I can't wait to feel how you rearrange my insides with it."
Fleur smiled at the brunette as she pulled her mate close, the two witches basking in the afterglow of their first round of lovemaking.
