Jitters

So, it’s almost a week late, but I was told that Weasley Week is more about vibes than punctuality. Here’s the final contribution, and this one’s all about Ginny. Thank you @thethreebroomsticksfic for organising such a fun event!

Warnings: mentions of past trauma.

September 2003

Ginny Weasley prided herself on being fiercely independent. Being the only girl in a family of boys, she had learnt to take care of herself and others in a way that her brothers had never been encouraged to. And being the youngest, she had watched each of her older siblings leave home, go to school, and embark on careers, leaving her behind, a little more alone every time.

There was, of course, one time she had allowed herself to become truly vulnerable, to rely on someone else. It had backfired terribly. Ginny had been eleven years old when she had first opened Tom Riddle’s diary. She had been eleven years old when she had stopped trusting anyone, even herself.

That trust had come back, bit by bit. She had made friends, eventually. She had gone on dates, had been heartbroken, had battled, had grieved. She had carved out a career for herself, made a name for herself, had finally gotten to know herself and trust herself again.

So why, on what should have been the happiest day of her life, was she doubting herself?

She loved Harry. She had always loved Harry, even when her definition of love had been a schoolgirl’s infatuation. He made her happy, understood her in a way few others did, and loved her in spite of that. When he had asked her to marry him, her answer had come as swift and as sure as she was on a broomstick.

Right now, she was less sure. Which was unfortunate, because right now, there were only minutes to go before she was supposed to walk down the aisle and marry the wizard.

In moments like this, Ginny preferred to be alone. Declining her bridesmaids’ offers to help her with her dress, she backed out of the vestry and headed for the bathroom, where she stood facing a mirror and holding on to the edges of a sink. Her head was spinning, her heart racing, and her stomach churning. She felt unbearably hot, though the room was cold. She took several breaths, annoyed by how shallow each one was, and found that this was useless. In a final desperate attempt to cool herself down, she turned on the tap and let the water run over her hands before splashing it onto her face.

That was a mistake. Now she had yet another thing to worry about. Her make-up, which she had painstakingly spent the morning doing — she hadn’t permitted anyone else to do it for her — was now entirely ruined. And, even worse, she had left all of her belongings back at the Burrow, not thinking that she would need them over the course of the ceremony. All she could do was try to clean up the mess she had made of her own face.

As she used her wand to remove the smudges from her cheeks, a toilet flushed behind her and a beautiful woman and small girl, both with the same shade of silvery-blonde hair, emerged from a cubicle. Ginny forced a smile as the woman helped the little girl to wash her hands in another of the sinks. Her niece looked particularly cute in her bridesmaid dress, but there was no one she wanted to speak to less at this moment in time than her sister-in-law.

Fleur Delacour-Weasley eyed Ginny over the top of her daughter's blonde head for a few moments before telling her, “I ‘ave makeup in my bag, if you would like some.”

Ginny couldn’t see that she had much choice but to take Fleur up on her offer, so she nodded. Her sister-in-law passed her a dainty clutch bag, which on opening, Ginny found to be far bigger on the inside than it looked on the outside.

“Va chercher ton grand-père, Victoire.” Fleur placed one hand on the back of her daughter’s head and stroked her hair gently as she spoke, and Ginny’s niece skipped out of the bathroom with her clean hands. Ginny expected Fleur to follow Victoire, but instead she turned back towards her and asked, “Would you like some ‘elp with zat?”

“I can do it myself, thanks,” Ginny replied, but her hands were shaking so badly that she was struggling to do anything by herself.

Fleur stood stock still, watching her as she tried and failed to wield mascara with any form of precision. Ginny was growing increasingly impatient and frustrated with herself, with Fleur, with everything. Eventually, she held out Fleur’s bag at arm length and snapped:

“Fine, you do it then, if you think you can do better than me!” Her sister-in-law blinked at her slowly, her lips pursed, and Ginny sighed. “I mean, yes, I’d like some help. Please can you help me?”

Her tone hadn’t been friendly in the slightest. Fleur shrugged and took back her bag.

“Close your eyes,” she told Ginny, who did as she instructed. A soft brush swept over Ginny’s cheeks, and Fleur’s voice spoke to her. “Victoire ‘as freckles like you now. ‘Ave you noticed?”

“No.”

“Zey look quite cute, I zink. A proper Weasley, no? It is a shame zat I’m covering yours up.”

“Yeah, well.” Ginny swallowed. “I’m not going to be a Weasley for much longer. Might as well get rid of the freckles while I’m at it.”

She sounded far more bitter than she intended. She could not see Fleur’s face, but by the way her sister-in-law continued to work on her face, she supposed that she might not have noticed.

“And ‘ow are you feeling about today?”

“Great, obviously. Why wouldn’t I be?”

“Because it is a big change,” Fleur said. “And because you are in ‘ere splashing water on your face when you should be about to walk down the aisle.” Ginny opened her mouth to argue, but before she could say anything, Fleur instructed, “Open your eyes and look up at the ceiling.”

It was hard to focus her eyes. Ginny could almost feel them filling with tears as Fleur applied mascara to her lashes.

“How did you feel on your wedding day?” Ginny asked Fleur, trying her hardest not to either cry or blink.

“Probably the same as you. ‘Appy, but also a little nervous.”

Ginny looked down from the ceiling and at her sister-in-law. “Really?”

“Yes. I wanted ze day to be perfect, and zere was a war going on, so…”

“So, you weren’t nervous about actually getting married? You didn’t have any… second thoughts or anything?”

Fleur seemed to consider Ginny’s question. When she answered, she did so with a small and almost secretive looking smile:

“Yes.”

“You did?” Ginny was relieved, for some reason. “What about?”

“What are your second thoughts about?” Fleur asked. Ginny sighed.

“I dunno, I just… I’ve worked really hard to get to where I am, Quidditch-wise. I’m worried that once I’m married, no one will care that I’ve done that, they’ll just think of me as Harry’s wife and not my own person, because I won’t be, will I? I’ll be Mrs Potter, not Ginny Weasley, not… Not me.”

Ginny cast a look at herself in the mirror. She never usually wore white, it was too easily dirtied, and she couldn’t remember the last time her hair had been restrained in such an intricate up-do. Even her freckles had been covered with makeup. She scowled at her own reflection.

“I already don’t look like me,” she muttered. “What’s to stop me from just slowly disappearing altogether?”

“I cannot imagine zat will ever ‘appen.”

“It almost did, once,” said Ginny. Fleur was looking at her, and she avoided meeting her eye. “Back when I was younger, that year… That diary, his diary… I put so much of myself into it, I poured myself into it, and before I knew it, there was almost none of me left. I was nearly lost forever, and I…” Her voice tailed off. “I don’t want to lose myself, not ever, not to anyone or for anything.”

Fleur put one hand to Ginny’s hair. For a moment, Ginny thought she might stroke it, the way she had Victoire’s, but instead, she reached back and undid one of the clips. A strand of Ginny’s hair came loose.

“I can see zis,” Fleur said, reaching for another hairclip, “but I don’t zink it is something you need to worry about. Zat diary, it was evil. It wanted you to lose yourself. ‘Arry would never want zat for you, ‘e just wants you, as you are. It is all ‘e ever wanted.”

Ginny took a deep breath. Yet more locks of her hair tumbled around her shoulders as more clips were removed, and Fleur continued:

“Getting married, it does not mean zat you are losing yourself. You are gaining another piece for yourself, making a family zat is yours and someone else’s. It means you ‘ave to share, but you must be used to sharing, with all those brothers you ‘ave.” She chuckled softly, and Ginny felt her own lips twitch. It was true, she was used to sharing. “The only piece of yourself you are giving up is your name, which you don’t ‘ave to do. And zat was ever really your name, either. It is all your family’s name, no? And even if you don’t have zeir name, you are not going to lose your family. Especially your family. You are all very stubborn.”

In spite of everything, in spite of herself, Ginny laughed out loud. Fleur smiled triumphantly and nodded her head at the mirror.

“See? You look more like yourself now.”

Fleur was right. Ginny’s hair was now almost entirely loose, a mane of red curls framing her face. Her freckles were still invisible, but her laugh had caused her cheeks to dimple and her brown eyes to shine with mirth.

Thinking about it, Fleur was right about a lot of things. Harry was not Tom Riddle. He had nothing of Tom Riddle about him, not anymore. And even when he had, he had never once allowed it to consume him, not the way the diary had consumed her. He had never wanted anything from Ginny, except for her to be… well, Ginny. Not Ginny Weasley, not Ginny Potter, just Ginny. In all the time she had been making a name for herself, Harry had accepted her and loved her for herself.

And she loved him. Had accepted him, the way her family had accepted him as one of their own. He might not have their name, but he was still a part of them. She would still be a part of them, even if she didn’t have their name anymore. She wouldn’t lose them.

Harry had lost his family. All he had left of them was their name, the one that was written on a pair of tombstones in the graveyard behind the church in which she stood, where he was standing at the altar waiting for her. Waiting to begin their life together, to share that life together.

There was a knock on the bathroom door, and Ginny’s father’s voice sounded from the other side of it.

“It’s eleven, Ginny. Are you ready?”

Ginny glanced at Fleur, and again at the bathroom mirror, where her own face stared back at her, defiant and stubborn and entirely her own.

“I’m ready.”

On a real Taylor Swift kick at the moment, because of the new album that's coming out soon, so, for Title Tales:

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter :)

😂😂😂 This is a popular request! I think I've received it at least four times from various people.

Fleur Delacour/Hermione Granger this time.

Mademoiselle Fleur Delacour must carefully control herself and her allure at all times. Miss Hermione Granger's competence makes it more difficult than usual while she's at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the Triwizard Tournament.

We know you enjoy fucked up characters. But which HP and Twilight characters do you actually like/consider decent at least as people, not characters? I'd love a reasoning, if you have time for it, but if you don't, just a list would do, thank you!

In the traditional sense that tumblr would readily accept? Alright, I'll try listing things off and see what we get.

(As for my actually 'liking' that's a different story, as you note, I do genuinely like the fucked up characters who I claim are abominable. They're interesting to me, anon.)

Harry Potter

I'm only going to bother listing off the at least somewhat present characters. We're not going to talk about shop keepers who have two lines one time or someone who just gets mentioned offscreen.

Neville Longbottom

Neville's a good kid and kind of the Charlie Brown of the series. Just, god, this kid puts up with so much shit even from those who are supposed to kind of be his friends.

However, I can never remember him ever being remotely awful even in a normal teenage way. He's just a really nice kid who has shitty teenage friends.

Luna Lovegood

Luna's a bit strange but also suffers from the seeming to be a good kid with shitty friends syndrome. Especially when those friends are worse to her than they are to Neville (quite the accomplishment). Luna should have blown her lid years ago but takes it all in stride even when Ron, Harry, and Hermione are actively making fun of her to her face.

God, Luna, I'm so sorry.

Fleur Delacour

Fleur is standoffish to Harry at first, but it's reasonable given the position she's in, her age at the time, and that it looks like Hogwarts favoritism. However, to me she generally acts nice and like a very decent person, even when the Weasleys are giving her constant hell for daring to date Bill.

Viktor Krum

Viktor seems like a nice enough guy. We don't see too much of him but he's friendly, approachable, he and Hermione have a great time at the dance and brief romance and every bad thing he ever did turned out to be him getting imperiused.

Twilight

Charlie Swan

Charlie has some serious flaws and some issues when it comes to seeing Jacob clearly/disregarding his daughter but he does genuinely seem to try his best and have her best interests at heart.

Billy Black

Billy, you poor man. In every instant Billy is trying to do right by his son, his people, his friends, or Bella and he comes off a superstitious madman, an old man who has no idea what he's talking about and the Cullens are amazing, or someone who doesn't understand.

Jessica Stanley

Jessica's a gossip and a teenage girl but she goes out of her way to do right by all of her friends. We don't see too much with the other girls, as Bella... cares about Bella, but she goes above and beyond for Bella when none of her other friends are there for her.

She nopes out (as she should have when hanging around Bella became dangerous for her) but she hangs out with Bella later when Bella's... stabilized and never brings up what happened.

Beautifully repaid for this by Edward and Bella both thinking she's The Worst.

Mike Newton

Mike's not a bad kid, he's just a teenage boy. He's about what I'd expect from any teenage boy in any high school. He's very interested in girls, yes, but he also reacts in ways normal people should like say when Bella looks like she's going to pass out in Biology over the blood testing and he's freaking out over it.

Sam Uley

I may get flack for this but the man does try. A lot. He tries to do right by all the people in the pack, tries to do right by Bella, tries to do right by Leah and Emily (even when imprinty shifty nonsense happens), and is forced into making very hard decisions. However he seems to be a very honorable and standup guy just in the worst circumstances.

Emily Young

Emily's another that tries to do right by everyone and is just caught in an awful mess. She tries to do right by Leah, by Sam, then keep her tribe together when these teenage boys keep imprinting on everything.

Leah Clearwater

Leah's full of anger but again always tries to do the right thing and is very levelheaded considering her circumstances. She doesn't want to hate Sam or Emily for what happened to her and actively tries to move on from her own hurt.

Seth Clearwater

Seth seems like a good, earnest, kid. His flaws are actually in his naivite and willingness to see the good in everybody when, yeah, Seth, maybe the Cullens are in fact dangerous and you shouldn't be buddy buddy with them. I've got nothing against Seth.

Quil Atera IV

Quil seems like a decent kid who got stuck imprinting on a toddler and is desperately trying to make the best of it in the only way he can: just being her baby sitter one time a week. Before the imprint he seemed like a decent enough guy.

I'm not going to list off all the pack but most of them seem like decent people trying to do the right thing if a little teenage boy-ish (which can sometimes make them assholes).

Carlisle Cullen

The man has some serious flaws and issues but I think he is a decent person at heart who does strive to live by his principles and do the right thing. (Also, you guys knew this one was coming).

Esme Cullen

Esme's bizarre, but she's a very sweet and caring person who I think is quite genuine in her compassion towards others. She may not be entirely there, but she does mean what she says and genuinely mean well for her family and for others. She just... says things sometimes, or doesn't realize that telling Edward it's okay to eat the girl means Edward would be... eating a teenage girl...

Clearing up misconceptions

So a lot of people seem to believe that Abraxas Malfoy married Druella Rosier, however...

Druella Black[4] (née Rosier) (fl. 1951-1955) was a pure-blood witch who married Cygnus Black III. The couple had three daughters: Bellatrix, Andromeda, and Narcissa Black. " (Harry Potter Wiki)

So who did Abraxas marry? Honestly.... We don't know. All we know is that however it is, they are definitely not a Rosier. Perhaps he married an Avery, Macnair or Mulciber.... Or someone from a different pureblood family entirely.

Another common misconception, constantly being perpetuated by fanfiction cause people just LOVE the idea of a Teeny Tiny Wizarding world :

Dorea and Charlus Potter are James Potters parents.

They are not, as you can see right here:

"James Potter I (27 March 1960 - 31 October 1981),[1] also known as Prongs, was an English pure-blood[3][4] wizard and the only son of Fleamont and Euphemia Potter.[12]" (Harry Potter Wiki)

So what Charlus and Dorea are of James? Well, either They are his grandparents or, my own personal take, his Aunt and Uncle.

Ofc, you are free to write them as his parents if you want but not only you will be essencially erasing and/or flat out ignoring the freaking inventor of Sleekeazy's Hair Potion but also systematically destroying every chance Progstar/Starbucks, Jegulus, Sirry, Drary and whatever the heck the oficial ship name for Regulus Black/Harry Potter is (Regarry? Hagulus? Hargulus???) ever had of happening.

Look, i get why someone would want to destroy Sirry and Regulus Black/Harry Potter and as much as i love progstar, it is not that popular so it's not that surprising that someone would want to kill it. But Do you seriously want to obliterate two of the three most popular crack ships on this fandom, just so you can pretend the wizarding world is even more inbreed than it already is?

Wich, if you want to avoid incest, would leave you with the following options for partners for Harry :

Fred Weasley

George Weasley

Charlie Weasley

Bill Weasley

Cedric Diggory

Cho Chang

Neville Longbottom

Ron Weasley

Hermione Granger

Ginny Weasley

Marcus Flint

Oliver Wood

Dean Thomas

Theodore Nott

Blaise Zabini

Astoria Greengrass

Daphne Greengrass

Pansy Parkinson

Susan Bones

Hanah Abbot

Fleur Delacour

Gabrielle Delacour

Victor Krum

Luna Lovegood

An Oc

Remus lupin

Albus Dumbledore

Severus Snape

Tom Riddle

Minerva McGonagall

Amelia Bones

Alastor Moody

Evan Rosier

Barty crouch jr

Mulciber Jr

Avery Jr

Fenrir Greyback

Xenophilus Lovegood

Rubeus Hagrid

..... Or Cargo of any kind

Not as big of a selection as you would have by just leaving things as it is, but it may still please somebody so, whatever.

I guess the choice is up to you

Just remember that this is not canon.

#harry potter #abraxas malfoy #druella black #druella rosier #dorea black #charlus potter #flemmont potter #euphemia potter #clarification #just to clarify #sirius black x james potter #drarry #jegulus #regulus Black x harry potter #sirry

Welcome

(Tonks/Fleur, 87 words, @sapphicmicrofics)

“Mum?” Tonks said, uncertainly.

“Yes?” Andromeda responded, turning from the gardening to look up at her daughter and squinting in the sunlight. Tonks sat down next to her. “You’re going to get dirty.”

Tonks shrugged. “Can I invite…someone…to dinner on Sunday?”

Andromeda raised her eyebrow. “Someone? Who is someone?”

“Fleur Delacour…you’ve met her, remember?” Tonk said, hoping that was enough explanation.

Andromeda looked at her daughter appraisingly as Tonks fidgeted with a blade of grass. “She’s important to you?”

“Yes.”

“Then she’s welcome in our home anytime.”

🧛‍♀️ WLW Wed: Vampires (Part 1) 🧛‍♀️

A jointly compiled HP femslash rec list made by the lovely members of the HP SAFFICS discord server. See all previous rec lists in the WLW Library on Tumblr or AO3!

Currently: Vampires (see part 2) Previously: Ginmione (see list)

—

🩸 LONG (>10k) 🩸

There's no blood like yours by isuckatnicknames [Hermione/Bellatrix, E, 102k]

Bellatrix is a pretty ancient vampire and Hermione is her 'meant-to-be'. There's no stronger bond that that.

A fate better than death by sugarsnappeas [Bellatrix/Rita, M, 17.9k]

Bellatrix was a vampire... Bellatrix was a possibility... Bellatrix was intoxicating, captivating, and Rita had been enraptured by her since the first moment she had seen her.

Sharp Bites, Soft Kisses by vendettadays [Hermione/Pansy, E, 10.7k]

Hermione thought her life had quietened now that the world was calmer. She had a good, stable job at the Ministry. She had her pub nights with Harry and Ron. All in all, things were going well for her. That was until she died and was turned into a vampire.

—

🩸 MEDIUM (3-10k) 🩸

hot blooded (now you're driving me wild) by @grimjobs [Pandora/Lily, Pandora/Mary/Lily, E, 8.3k]

Still, Lily grinned wide; teeth fully on display, and she heard Pandora’s breath hitch as her thumb moved from her cheek to stroke along one of the fangs now protruding through her gums.

When the thrill is gone by @sleepingontheway [Fleur/Hermione, NR, 6.0k]

Years post-war, Hermione is a shell of the girl she once was. This is not a happy tale.

Sweetness and Light by Headcanonsandmore [Luna/Ginny, T, 5.8k]

Ginevra Weasley (the daughter of a large working class Devon family) helps rescue a Miss Luna Lovegood from drowning in a river. However, the enigmatic Miss Lovegood is far more than meets the eye.

i would kill for some company (temporarily) by invisiblemuseum [Pandora/Lily, M, 4.7k]

pandora's never seen something so pretty and not wondered just how long it would take for it to die, and just how good it would taste.

Of Shadow and Blood by Wolf_of_Lilacs [fem!Harry/fem!Tom, NR, 4.2k]

Even serial killers should exercise caution when picking up hitchhikers. Who knew? (Certainly not Tommie Riddle, with a pathological fear of death and a taste for the macabre.)

A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night by RachelC978 [Fleur/Hermione, T, 3.3k]

Don’t you just hate it when your meal gets interrupted? When it’s by a beautiful woman whose blood sings to you, it’s slightly more forgivable.

—

🩸 SHORT (2k-3k) 🩸

The Catacombs by GhostxWriter [Surprise pairing, E, 2.9k]

Deep within the bowels of society, a girl dances in a club. Here, in the depths of the catacombs, she finds what she’s looking for in the eyes of an almost-stranger.

An Eternity with You by @sosh022 [Fleur/Hermione, M, 2.6k]

Fleur dies and Hermione defies the laws of life and death to bring her back. Because sometimes, one lifetime is not enough.

Like A Secret In Your Throat (Can You Stake My Heart?) by arakhnee [Marlene/Dorcas, M, 2.5k]

Dorcas is a vampire. A monster, if you will, and Marlene's target - except that they keep evading her. When Marlene is sent on her sixth mission to kill them, she makes a vow not to fail this time.

Hey, Baby, I'm Not Scared (I'm Just Dying Inside) by orphan_account [Fleur/fem!Harry, E, 2.5k]

Fleur Delacour vanishes without a trace at the end of the war, presumed dead by those around her. Harry takes the wrong turn in an alley in Paris and learns that the truth is far more complicated (and far more horrifying).

The Third Option by @fiestylilmetalbendingqueen [Astoria/Pansy, T, 2.4k]

Each day Astoria's blood curse gets worse, and after exhausting all other options, there's one more to consider.

It’s the last week of the fest! This week, we’re looking at the bonds of sisterhood, genetic or otherwise. Like the weeks for mothers and daughters, this week is for sisterly bonds and relationships, or lack thereof. The Evans, Black, Greengrass, Patil, Delacour, and next gen Weasley sisters are great candidates, but so are 'like a sister’ bonds of your own creation!

Sisters before things got hard: Lily and Petunia pre-Hogwarts, Bellatrix, Andromeda, and Narcissa pre-elopement, Fleur and Gabrielle Delacour pre-Goblet of Fire

Bellatrix/Narcissa reuniting after Azkaban/dealing with their relationship/trauma while she’s in the manor 👀

Sisters while things are hard: Daphne and Astoria supporting each other during the war, Padma and Parvati doing the same!

Sisterly squabbles: what do sisters fight over? Clothes, toys, boys? Up to you!

Next gen sisters: Victoire and Dominique Weasley, Molly and Lucy Weasley, or maybe all the Weasley cousins are like sisters for each other!

Hermione: did she want a sister? What about Ginny or Luna?

Fleurmione: A Femslash February Rec List

What better way to celebrate Femslash February than with a rec list?? I've been meaning to do rec lists dedicated to specific ships (that aren't Snarry) and what better place to start than with Fleurmione?

They are probably my favorite femslash ship. The Brain and the Beauty; at least, that's how people see them. Hermione is little more than her ability to regurgitate facts. Fleur is little more than a pretty face. Both are, in reality, much more than that. They are loyal, strong, brave, fierce, and skilled. Two passionate, competent ladies who would make such a great team, and such a great couple. So here are 9 of my favorite Fleurmion fics for you to enjoy!

Death, Birds, and Marriage

by Mushroom_grey_scale. Rated T. 2k. POV Second person. Death. Introspection. Modern AU. Happy ending.

Everyone deals with death in a different way. The loss of a loved one, a pet, or an acquaintance. No matter who you are, it is impossible to live without having met death at least once.

Or four times Hermione has come across dead birds in her path and one time she didn't.

Français

by not_here_leave_a_message. Rated T. 4k. Humor & fluff. Really cute.

Viktor was subtle but straight-forward. He had questions and he asked them and he got to know her that way. And Fleur? Fleur was a mess who aired her woes about her crush to her friends. In French.

...too bad Hermione speaks French. Sshhh!

Cruel Intentions

by Perpetual_Nonsense. Rated E. 207k. Drama & romance.

Fleur Delacour is a seductive, manipulative heiress who gets what she wants when she wants it. Bored with her life, she decides she needs a challenge and sets her sights on Hermione Granger, the golden girl, during the Triwizard Tournament. She plans to take Hermione's virginity by the third task; Hermione has other plans.

What Else is There?

by Perpetual_Nonsense. Rated T. 11k. AU. Fluff & humor.

Queen Apolline and Queen Minerva come up with a scheme to join their kingdoms. The plan is simple. Introduce their daughters and have them spend every summer together until they fall in love. Unfortunately, Fleur and Hermione don't quite agree with that plan.

In the Depths

by Semjaza. Rated E. 4k. Rape/non-con. Horror. Nightmares. Veela lore. Omegaverse-ish.

Hermione's lover goes home for the solstice celebrations and returns... different.

a hero's song, a lover's lament

by soshy. Rated G. 700. 2nd person POV. Ancient Greek AU.

Hermione leaves to fight a war. Fleur lets her go reluctantly.

Naming Conventions

by Sylvesha. Rated M. 7k. Muggle AU. Coffee shops.

Fleur is a barista, Hermione is a new student in the area. They end up discovering they're both into algebra, kissing and black coffee.

Let's hurt tonight (If love is pain)

by Twot. Rated M. 9k. Angst. Soulmates. MCD.

When she was younger, Fleur actively searched for her soulmate. She craved for the one that would make her heart beat wild, but her soul feel calm.Her understanding of how sick the concept of soulmates was started with Gabrielle.

What You Don't Know

by zerozerozero. Rated M. 108k. F-preg. Unplanned pregnancy. Romance.

Everyone has a weird gap in their knowledge. Unfortunately for her, Hermione's coincides with a mistake that could have huge consequences. She's known as the Brightest Witch of Her Age, but there are some things she has just never come across. Try explaining that to an enraged Veela...

Age range: 21-38+ years old partners.

I don’t have a preference for my partners gender. Just looking for someone 20+ years old willing to play FxF fandom games.

Really looking for femslash games. I’m open to Omegaverse and soulmate tropes/themes.

I play romance and dark story themes.

Couples in red are cravings. The ideas listed are just SAMPLES! Not exclusive to the storylines I’d like to play.

Fall of the House of Usher (Camille/OFC)

- What if an Angel was protecting a woman who crossed paths with Camille and the angels protection kept Camille safe from her family’s curse. But only so long as this OFC loved Camille. Would Camille be able to ensure she did not lose that protection and be the type of woman worth loving?

Game of Thrones (Sansa / Daenerys with optional + Canon male character, Brienne/Sansa)

* Sansa and Daenerys are forced to marry to avoid war between the North and the United southern kingdoms under Daenerys’ banner.

* Sansa escapes Kings Landing with Ser Barristan and meets Daenerys in Mereen.

* Drogon flies all the way to Westeros after he leaves Danserys in the Dothraki Sea, and meets an ice Queen in need of saving.

The Witcher (Tissaia / Yennefer)

1. Ciri is Tissaia’s child of surprise, not Geralt’s. When it comes time for her to accept this, she seeks out assistance from the only powerful mage she knows that wants children, Yennefer.

2. Tissaia comes back to speak with Yennefer while she is still in Rhinde. She has found a possible cure for Yennefer’s barrenness.

3. Yennefer is the daughter of a king at of the Northen Kingdoms, that falls in love with her father’s mage, Tissaia de Vries.

4. Yennefer is doused with a lust potion gone wrong by the older classmates at Aretuza. She will lose her mind unless she sleeps with someone, but the idiots that doused her didn’t take her elven blood into account, and instead of a lust spell, she can only be satisfied by her truest match—her soul mate. Tissaia does not sleep with students. Even ones she’s fated to. But to save Yennefer’s life she will. But only if she and Yennefer never remember what’s happened.

5. Time travel write up for season 4. Yennefer goes back in time with the help of the monolith book to save Tissaia. But it’s like the butterfly effect. And Tissaia keeps dying.

Harry Potter (Hermione/Fleur, female!Harry/Hermione, Hermione/Pansy, Hermione/Bellatrix, Hermione/Ginny, Hermione/Minerva, Minerva/Bellatrix)

* Hermione Granger and Fleur Delacour found family. After the war, Bill dies in an accident, and Hermione and Ron have divorced. Two single mothers come together to lament their troubles and losses.

* Fleur realizes that Hermione is her true mate when she arrives hurt at the cottage after Malfoy Manner or being mates.

* Forced Marriage trope - repopulating wizarding England stipulates that all eligible and child baring women must marry. Except, it seems, Hermione Granger, who is protected under French Ministry law as she is the Delacour heir’s fated mate.

Twilight (Tanya/Leah, Bella/Rosalie, Bella/Tanya, Bella/Alice, Bella/Leah, Rosalie/Leah, Alice/Leah)

* Tanya has been looking for her mate for over a thousand years. She’s finally found them.

Destiné à Être: A Remus Lupin story

Chapter 4: The Unexpected Task

(Warnings:Smoking, drinking, language, sexual themes. 18+ only)

Word Count: 5.3k

...

"You may not end up where you thought you were going, but you will always end up where you were meant to be" -Jessica Taylor

It's Christmas Day. Brigitte wakes up crammed under the covers with Fleur and Gabrielle. At the foot of the bed is a grand, snow-covered tree. The ceiling is lined with holly, the walls decorated in poinsettias, and Brigitte used her special magical powers to make snow flurries cascade around them all night.

She carefully slides out of bed as to not wake them and heads to the fireplace. She throws in a handful of floo powder, says her parent's address, and slips her head into magical flames.

"Maman! Papa! Merry Christmas!", Brigitte calls out cheerfully. Her parents are settled on the sofa with coffee mugs in hand. Their faces light up immediately when hearing their daughter's sweet voice.

"Brigitte, my beautiful darling". Her mother, Celeste crawls onto the floor to get closer. She has the same blonde hair and blue eyes as Brigitte, except hers are now tear-filled. Her father, Raphael, limps across the rug and kneels behind his wife.

"Tells us all about Hogwarts, dear", he says softly…

"Oh, Papa. Where do I begin? It's gorgeous. The school looks like the fairytales you used to read me, and this tournament is crazy! Fleur fought a dragon!".

"We saw her in the paper. It's quite exciting", Celeste chuckles nervously.

"Nothing Fleur can't handle". Brigitte promises her parents that she and Fleur are perfectly safe; that her time is spent reviewing the safety measures the Tournament committee has in plan or studying these foreign laws.

They talk for a bit, mostly boasting about Brigitte's recent accomplishments with the French anti-werewolf laws and her oldest brother's young daughter. Her little niece, Jacqueline, is the new star of the family out there.

When she returns to her bedroom, the Delacour sisters are already opening presents. Their parents spare no expense, and both girls are surrounded by mountains of wrapping paper.

"We didn't open your gift yet, Britt!", Gabriele says, wrapping a cashmere scarf around her neck. She hands Fleur a small giftbox identical to her own, and the two open them to find sapphire necklaces.

"I thought they'd match the uniforms", Brigitte shrugs. Fleur and Gabriele put their new necklaces on before tackling Brigitte for a hug. She receives from them a chic pair of gold aviator sunglasses.

For breakfast, the tearoom has been transformed into a winter wonderland. Colorful poinsettia flowers and frosted foliage line the room. The tables are decorated in red linen, topped with the most elaborate pinecone and evergreen centerpiece anyone has ever seen. Pygmy fairies are flying high above them and throwing handfuls off dusty snow while others hold a bundle of mistletoe and chase around students.

The girls sit at a table with an array of pastries and exotic fruits. They listen to festive harp music, occasionally singing the words to a familiar tune. It's the most perfect Christmas morning they can ask for, this far from home.

"You better have saved some cherry torte for me", a deep voice comes from behind Brigitte. It startles her out of her skin. She drops her fork, but her pique is short lived when she sees her brother, Auguste. He looks just like their father.

"Oh, if I wasn't so happy right now, I could kill you for not visiting sooner!". Brigitte exclaims, jumping from her seat to latch onto his neck.

"I know, I'm the worst brother. I'm just so busy during the week and sleep through the weekends. But if you have room for me I can stay the night?", he offers.

"I think we can find room for you in the horse stables", Brigitte jests… The rest of the day is enjoyed watching a choir performance, reading, and showing Auguste around Hogwarts. He and Brigitte have a snowball fight with Gabrielle at the shore of the Black lake while Fleur desperately hides behind the bare and frozen trees. Their clothes are soaked when they enter the Hogwarts Great Hall for the holiday feast. Casseroles, breads, turkeys, and tall cakes crowd the table tops. They eat like kings, stuffing their stomachs to prepare for a night full of drinking and celebrating.

"I'm surprised I can even fit into my dress after eating such heavy cuisine" Fleur comments, pushing her stomach in while Brigitte zips up her silver dress. Tonight is the Yule Ball-- a Christmas dance to further bond all three magical schools. As one of the competitors, Fleur will make a grand entrance.

"Oh, pfft, sissy. It was divine and you look gorgeous! That boy you agreed to go with is the luckiest guy there", Brigitte assures her, putting the finishing touches on her hairdo, small pieces of crystal that glimmer in her silver hair.

"Roger is nice. Much nicer than those Durmstrang boys. Sure you don't want to come? I bet a lot of those offers are still open", Fleur cackles. Since the announcement of the Yule Ball, Brigitte has received countless invites from both younger staff members and older students. Neither seemed appealing to her. She's never been one for dating-- much to Francesca's and Fleur's chagrin.

"No, it's okay. Gus and I have loads to catch up on", Brigitte says. After dropping Fleur off at the doors of Hogwarts, Brigitte returns to the now empty carriage. Her brother is in the main salon, twirling one hand to the enchanted harp strumming in the corner, with a cognac in the other.

"Never thought I'd ever be back in school", Gus chuckles. "Madame Maxime was beside herself when she saw me earlier".

"She probably remembered how you still need to pay for those fountain repairs", Brigitte giggles in her own glass of alcohol.

"No one can prove that was me!", he argues, his cheeks turning pink.

Brigitte side-eyes him and meanders over to the piano. She fiddles around on the keys, playing a festive tune for the two of them. 'I haven't played in years. It's wonderful…", she whispers to herself as her fingers easily prance over the keys. They spend the remainder of the night singing, drinking, and reminiscing over their childhood Christmases in the French countryside.

They spend the rest of the night enjoying some drinking and music, giving the brother a much needed break from his usual reclusion as well.

They huddle up in front of the fire with a cognac, and once everyone that didn't attend the ball has left the little dining hall, Bri meanders to the piano and plays some slow festive tunes for her brother.

─── . ˚☆ ☾ ☆˚ . ───

The Holiday festivities cannot last forever, and the start new year brings them back to reality.

The moment Brigitte has been dreading has finally arrived. After months of going over the task, she still doesn't feel confident in it. From her legal and emotional standpoints, it's a terror. Trapping students underwater… Harry being forced to compete… it doesn't settle with her, but all she can do is make sure everyone is kept alive, and be ready to hound the game organizers with legal slang in case it goes wrong.

As the four competitors step onto the platform, all the loud cheering from the stands fades from around Brigitte. It's like an out-of-body experience: she watches Fleur step forward to the water's edge and take off her jacket. Brigitte takes it and clutches it against her chest as Dumbledore goes over the task, his words muffled in her ears as she gives Fleur a comforting smile. A dull clap rings through her ears as the canon sounds off, and water splashes Brigitte's face as she stares at the spot where Fleur disappeared.

"Oh, Mon Dieu! I hope our Fleur remembers that spell", Madame Maxime comments nervously. After learning the details of this task, the Headmistress took it upon herself to teach Fleur some tricks that may help her under the water surface, like being able to breathe. Brigitte paces back and forth. Based on the rundown she got earlier, she knows Gabrielle is down there, along with a plethora of magical creatures that Fleur has to bypass to retrieve the little girl. She and all the other spectators stare, unblinking at the black water. Brigitte's consolation is knowing that with her magic, she could part that lake water and rescue Fleur if necessary.

But then Fleur appears at the water surface distraught, frantically splashing about, covered in red marks, and without her sister. Brigitte feels the fury rising back up in her stomach as she meets her younger friend in the shoreline. She was told over and over that all involved would be safe; no repeats like the dragon.

"I was-- there were-- grindylows! So many". Fleur is so upset she cannot speak as Brigitte pulls her from the water and wraps her in a towel. There's an eruption of cheers, and Brigitte looks up to see Cedric Diggory come out of the water with his friend and is shortly followed by Vicktor Krum.

Fleur has her face buried in a towel, mumbling that this is all her fault and panicking over her sister.

"Sissy, she'll be alright. She's under a spell and she won't wake up until she's above the water. Dumbledore told Madame Maxime that nothing will happen to them, she'll be up soon", Brigitte tries to console her but to no avail. She looks around frantically, waiting to see the little girl's white hair appear at the surface.

After waiting in anticipation and hearing the final horn, Harry Potter's redheaded friend breaks the water's surface with Gabrielle, shortly followed by Harry himself.

"Oh Gabrielle! Oh thank god! Come, come", Fleur rushes to her sister and puts a dry towel on her. "Thank you! You saved her! My sister! Even though she was not yours to save! And you, you helped!", she turns to Harry and Ron Weasley and kisses them. Brigitte stifles a laugh when Ron turns tomato red.

"Hi Harry, thank you so much for doing that… Come Fleur, let's get you and Gabrielle into some dry clothes", Brigitte suggests and leads the girl away. On the way back to their living quarters, they hear Harry be announced winner due to insistence on saving everyone. Brigitte takes a long and deep breath knowing that another task was done. One less task to worry about. One more to go.

─── . ˚☆ ☾ ☆˚ . ───

During the next month, Brigitte's full attention goes to organizing the final task. To her disappointment, the anti-werewolf laws go on the backburner. It's what she's technically in the UK for, assisting on Beauxbaton's behalf, and she is excited to see a Sphinx and help

Dumbledore construct the maze where the final event will take place. After the second task finished and the Headmasters and tournament organizers reconvened, Madame Maxime insisted Brigitte use her magic to help, as means to make their magical school more involved. Dumbledore was inclined to agree, and interested to see what the young witch can do…

When Brigitte got the request to help the famed Hogwarts Headmaster, it was the first time she felt nervous in years. Nervous for herself at least. She's been wracked with nerves over those children since their names came out of the goblet of fire. It's been years since she's tested her magic. Back in school, kids didn't take too kindly to the werewolf girl who accidentally lit things on fire. She's focused on law studies since graduating, but she'll never lose her special touch.

She approaches the Quidditch pitch, where the greyed wizard is already waiting. He briefly explains the plan-- constructing a maze that the competitors will travel through. The first one to reach the Triwizard cup wins. Simple enough.

The two stand on the tall spectator stands, and leafy vines spew from their wands and hands. The shrubbery melds flawlessly in the air, creating thick, winding walls.

"Thank you for assisting me this evening, Miss Moreau. I've heard from Olympe time and time again that you're were one of her most impressive students", Dumbledore confesses. "And she may have used your unique abilities as a threat against Ludo Bagman after the lake event". They both laugh at that.

"Madame Maxime used to give me detention for things like that". Brigitte lifts her hands, guiding the thick greenery like she is painting the air. It is almost like an art, the way her hands ever so delicately move around like she's conducting an invisible orchestra.

"I must say, I'm very impressed with these elemental abilities. Haven't seen it in someone so young in many a moon. This is a grand scale that takes a great amount of energy to produce… a very powerful young witch, indeed", Dumbledore compliments as the field disappears under their twisted rows of vines. Brigitte's cheeks blush from the kind words.

"You have no idea how flattering that is, Monsieur, coming from one of the most powerful wizards for generations… someone Madame Maxime holds such high regards for. Even in France, we still learn of your accomplishments", she says in regards to his fame in the battle against Grindelwald.

"Thank you, my Dear… I've had a lot of time on this earth to perfect my magic. Though, I cannot say I had such discipline when I was your age".

After putting the finishing touches on the maze, Dumbledore calls for the caretakers to place their magical creatures in their designated spots. They come in with a box containing a boggart, one caretaker has a beautiful Sphinx on a lease, and Hagrid brings in a blast-ended skrewt and Acromantula.

Another group carries in the trophy to place in the center. Brigitte watches in awe as Dumbledore places protections and charms within the maze, gold shimmers flying from his wand and whipping all around them. The Sphinx roars out majestically, dancing around as the sparkles dance past her corner of the maze.

Walking back to the carriage, Brigitte feels a mix of excitement and trepidation as the Triwizard Tournament comes to a close. Having a hand in it should ease her; she knows it's nothing Fleur cannot achieve, but Brigitte can also confidently say she didn't expect the dragon to get lose or that Fleur would get ambushed by grindylows.

She finds the Beauxbatons champion and Gabriele in her private bedroom, anxiously awaiting her return.

"So?! What I am doing next?", Fleur asks, bouncing on the bed.

"You know I can't tell you… All I will say is you'll need running shoes". Brigitte slips out of her blue dress and into flannel pajamas. She'll never get used to this cold English weather.

"I've never much liked the look of running shoes", Fleur says breathlessly, glancing at her elegant slippers.

"When you're holding the trophy, no one will be looking at your feet. Now, tell me about going to the Hogsmeade with Monsieur Davies".

─── . ˚☆ ☾ ☆˚ . ───

Then in the blink of an eye it's the day of the final task. Brigitte stayed up late with Fleur, listening to the girl come up with outrageous scenarios that could cost her the win. Tripping and breaking an ankle, losing her wand, or getting taken out by the male champions who will split the win three ways.

But now her own stomach is doing somersaults the moment she wakes up, excited to have this competition over and anxious to see how Fleur places. This time tomorrow, it will all be over.

The champion's families have travelled in to watch, and Fleur thoughtfully includes Brigitte. They show her parents the school grounds, and then join the rest of the student body in the Great Hall.

They sit at the end of the Ravenclaw table, the house Fleur prefers when they're obligated to eat in there. Their section of the table is donned with a spread of the few French dishes the house- elves know to make. Brigitte spoke with them earlier so they could figure a menu-- Fleur's mother is more picky than she.

At the lunch, Gabrielle has taken her parents attention by boasting all about how well she's done in her second-year classes, allowing Brigitte and Fleur to talk amongst themselves. Fleur is trying her hardest to distract herself from the terror building in her gut.

"There was a boy that greeted Harry today. He was so cute! Didn't look related", Fleur whispers, looking around the room stealthily, "yes! Behind us, the boy with the long red hair. He's nice looking, no?".

Brigitte subtly turns around, eyeing the young man sitting across Harry Potter— his red hair is pulled into a low ponytail and a fang earring dangles from his ear. She giggles and turns back to Fleur, who's staring at the boy like she's hypnotized.

"The cutest Fleur. He looks like he's related to the redheads Harry's friends with. Why don't you go talk to him? Get Harry to introduce you".

Fleur shakes her head, her white-blonde hair rippling in the air. She looks up at her mother and engages with her in conversation instead, completely rejecting Brigitte's suggestion.

⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆

Following a day of calming down Fleur, she reluctantly leaves to join the other competitors, and Brigitte shows the Delacour parents to their seats on the bleachers. Then she goes a few rows down to join Gabrielle and the rest of Beauxbâtons and they sit down next to their headmistress, who's gigantic shaking leg is jiggling the entire bench. Brigitte isn't feeling better herself at this moment, despite knowing the maze she helped create is perfectly safe.

They sit in an anxious silence until the canon goes off, juxtaposed to the live band and crowd of noise makers behind them. Harry and Cedric go into the maze first, shortly followed by Krum, and finally Fleur. She looks back right before disappearing into the foliage, and Brigitte gives her reassuring wink.

"Oh darling, won't it be nice to have this tournament over? I cannot handle the stress of potential danger much longer", Madame Maxime say as they sit and wait. Brigitte nods while chewing on her lip.

"Yes it will be over soon and Fleur will be okay. And the butterflies can leave our stomach once and for all", she offers, trying to convince both Madame Maxime and herself. Then suddenly, a red bolt shoots into the sky.

To their horror, Fleur appears moments later, visibly shaken and her eyes unfocused. Brigitte rushes over and gently guides Fleur to the bleacher to sit next to Gabrielle. After examination, they conclude she's been stunned. Fleur is given some tea with pepper-up potion, and they continue the anxious waiting.

The revelation of what happened to Fleur makes Brigitte uneasy. 'This shouldn't have happened. I saw Dumbledore charm the maze. There's nothing dangerous besides the creatures. What could stun her?' …

After some time of waiting, Vicktor Krum comes out of the maze too, it was apparent he was bewitched as well. The Durmstrang Headmaster has a tantrum at the judges as usual. The people in the stands look around curiously at the game organizers, confirming it's still going to plan. But since no one is really hurt there is still a light, excited atmosphere as they cheer for the two Hogwarts boys still in the game.

The crowd waits… and waits. Brigitte looks at the tournament organizers, all of whom have worried expressions across their faces as they mutter amongst themselves…

More than two hours after the task started, Harry and Cedric reappear with the Cup. But something is off.

Everyone starts cheering and the music plays loudly as they ready to congratulate the newest tournament winner. Fleur and Brigitte rush over to the boys and when they get close, they see Harry is crying and grasping tightly onto an limp Cedric. His eyes open and unfocused. His face is expressionless… Cedric is dead.

"What- AHHH! NO!", Fleur screams and all the noise halts. The band fizzles and the spectators peek down at the scene on their tip toes.

"He's back! Voldemort— he's back! H-he killed Cedric!", Harry cries.

The air shifts after that name is spoken. Brigitte yanks Fleur away from the scene. They run to Gabrielle and their parents in the stands, urging the family to get back to the safe carriage.

"Follow me!". Brigitte takes Gabriele's little hand and guides them through the crowd of students, her mind frozen on the picture of Cedric lying on the ground. She never expected anything like this. No one did. Of all the possible outcomes, this wasn't one. Not after all this time, during a child's game.

─── . ˚☆ ☾ ☆˚ . ───

There is a dark cloud over Hogwarts over the subsequent week. The Triwizard Cup couldn't be more obsolete. The entire campus is in mourning, yet not everyone is by young Potter's declaration that You-Know-Who has returned.

Once the news reaches foreign papers, Brigitte receives a flood of letters from her parents and Non-Profit boss urging her to return home as soon as possible, but all have gone unanswered thus far.

Her twenty-fourth birthday passes on the 30th, not that she notices. She's too busy consoling Fleur, who is having a hard time getting over the trauma of seeing Cedric like that. Little Gabrielle returned the day after the tournament with their parents.

As they prepare for the return to Beauxbâtons, Brigitte feels like Alice in Wonderland when she doesn't know which direction to go in next. It's how she felt almost a year ago, just before she received the invitation for the tournament.

There's nothing in France for her besides family who live in the countryside, and she only recently got her license to practice law in this country and no time to use it yet. It would be a shame to let it go to waste. It's not like anyone else is going to do the work she will for people with lycanthropy.

As she walks around the Black Lake and basks in the spring sun, a young Hogwarts student approaches her with the message from Dumbledore requesting a meeting.

She has never been to Dumbledore's office. As she approaches the door, a calm voice tells her to enter before she even knocks. The carved wooden door opens with ease, and Brigitte is met with the sight of Dumbledore sitting at his desk and Madame Maxime towering behind him. Brigitte wonders how the grand dame made her past the narrow staircase leading to this room.

"Ah, Ms Moreau. Thank you for coming by", he motions for her to sit,

"I want to say first that I apologize for your time here being not quite as expected. However, I think there would have been more damage had we not had your assistance … I've heard from Madame Maxime about your protective disposition, you specialize in Advocacy law? Combined with your dueling skills and wandless magic abilities? A very talented witch indeed," Dumbledore says as he peeks over his glasses. "I've witnessed some of it myself, quite remarkable".

Madame Maxime smiles proudly down at Brigitte and nods along with everything he says. Brigitte blushes at the recognition.

"Oh, Monsieur. Like I say, flattery will get you everywhere. But I refuse to believe that you invited me here for compliments". Dumbledore nods his head, peeking up at the enormous Headmistress.

"Your kind of passion and magical abilities is exactly what I'm looking for; what we need right now, Miss Moreau… Are you set on going back home?".

Brigitte shakes her head, "No, sir. I miss my parents dearly, but I like to be where people need me, doing something that makes a difference. Work was slowing down in Paris and I think I have plenty of opportunities here. I'm torn if I'll even return with the carriage", she confesses. Madame Maxime makes an understanding expression. Dumbledore's face lights up,

"That is just what I wanted to hear! I may have a proposal to peak your interest". He awaits Brigitte to nod and proceeds to tell her about The Order of the Phoenix, a secret group he formed to fight against Lord Voldemort last time he was at the height of his terror.

"… I am gathering everyone who was apart of it years ago, and I'd be honored for you to join us".

Brigitte is stunned. This is not what she was expecting when she walked to the headmaster's office. Her mind immediately goes to Cedric, the way his limp body was sprawled on the ground, and Fleur weeping face for days following. She feels that familiar push from the universe, telling her to take the chance like she did nine months ago when she came here. It's an easy decision for someone who lives to help and protect others. Without hesitation looks straight at Dumbledore.

"I'm in".

─── . ˚☆ ☾ ☆˚ . ───

It's been four days since Brigitte's conversation with Dumbledore. The carriage left that day, so she's been staying with her brother, Auguste, in London in the meantime. The first night there, she convinced him to join the Order too… But after the third night, they wanted to kill each other. Gus' living quarters consist of a small studio above his alchemy lab. The place smells like fire and is not meant to be shared by two grown siblings who have mastered the art of getting under each other's skin.

"Britt, your fucking dresses are all over the place! Who needs so many! How many bodies do you have?", Auguste fusses from inside his room. It looks like Brigitte's travel trunk has exploded.

"I don't have anywhere else to put them, you idiot! The closet is filled with your bourgeois suede and corduroy suits, monsieur", she retorts sarcastically. They shout at each other, their French insults getting drowned out by the other.

Their bickering is interrupted by a large brown owl tapping on the ocular window above the sofa. "It's Dumbledore. He is going to meet us outside of the flat and take us to headquarters. He said that's the safest place for me to stay. That was Maxime's concern", Brigitte says.

"Hallelujah! Finish packing your damn stuff. The letter says he'll be here in an hour", Gus motions her to the pile of clothes and goes to the small kitchen for a cup of coffee. Brigitte curses under her breath at him and stores away her belongings. She puts on a flowing bell sleeve dress that cinches at her waist and casually twiddles her fingers in the direction of the mess, making all the clothes fold up and organize into her trunk.

Auguste throws on his corduroy blazer once the coffee cup is empty and takes Brigitte's stack of trunks downstairs where they meet Dumbledore. He's standing on the sidewalk in his usual robes, and the muggles walking by giving him puzzled looks.

"Hello, sir", Brigitte says extra cheerfully.

"Pleasure to meet you". Gus and the sparkling Headmaster shake hands.

"Good evening to you both… Never been to this part of London", Dumbledore says curiously while taking in his surroundings. "Shall we?". He sticks out his hand gracefully, and the two place their own on top before Disapparate to the other side of town. They land in a small patch of grass, look around for muggles, and Dumbledore leads them across to a residential street when the coast is clear.

With a wave of his wand, the houses move and Dumbledore shows them a piece of paper labeled '12 Grimmauld Place'.

"Remember this address and speak it to no one else. Now, let's go inside. I think we are the last to arrive for the meeting, just in time to be fashionably late", he says with a twinkle in his eye.

Brigitte and Gus follow Dumbledore past the thick doors and into a dark foyer. Dumbledore places a finger over his mouth to keep them silent, and points to a covered painting on the wall. He extends his hand in the direction of the illuminated door at the end of the dark hall, so the siblings put Brigitte's trunks aside, and follow.

When they approach, the door swings open and shut, allowing a grumpy looking house-elf to pass through. He mutters bitterly upon seeing the new arrivals and passes by them on his way to the stairs.

"Ignore him", Dumbledore whispers. Auguste opens the door and steps down into the kitchen first, extending his hand to help his sister. Brigitte rolls her eyes still accepts it, hopping down the steps and causing a sudden halt to the conversations around the room.

Everyone turns their attention to the beautiful strangers, hardly sparing Dumbledore a glance when he enters behind them. Auguste is as stunning as his sister: with the same sparkling eyes and contagious smile. They share a great resemblance, even sharing a similar freckle pattern, but Brigitte's rich golden hair drastically contrasts to Gus's rich chocolate locks— reflecting both parent's strong genes. He's also about a head and a half taller than her with a strong build.

Brigitte greets everyone with a shy wave and mouths "bonjour". She takes a seat at the scuffed up table and scans the room to take in all the new faces, including one of a man with a large prosthetic eye swirling in its socket while the other lingers on Brigitte. Behind him is a dark-haired man in a long black cloak, the same one who refused to help her find the House-elves.

She notices a woman around her age own with bright pink hair. She's speaking to a middle-aged witch next to her, and her face lights up seeing some more younger people enter the room.

The man on her other side instantly recognizable. Sirius Black. Last year, his mugshot was on all the newspapers and the bulletin boards at work. He looks nothing like the mugshot she's seen, but the wavy Black hair and tattoos are recognizable anywhere. Brigitte should be startled, but she's more intrigued as to why the pure blood fugitive is present.

Sitting to Sirius' right is the only familiar face in the bunch. A familiar and beautifully scarred face Brigitte never imagined seeing again … Remus is already looking her way. She offers him a small smile and looks away, desperate to stop the heat building in her cheeks. If she hadn't turned, she would've seen him matching her fuchsia shade.

Sirius turns to Remus to say something and notices his friend's captivation and odd blush. He follow's his line of vision, still on Brigitte at the opposite end of the table.

"You okay there, Moony?", Sirius snickers quietly.

"What? Uh, yeah yeah… ", Remus clears his throat. "Just waiting for Dumbledore to get started", he says unconvincingly.

"Mmhm, sure … She is a damn fox, isn't she? If I'm not mistaken, she's the one moving in here", Sirius wiggles his eyebrows and grins as Remus looks to Brigitte once more. "I wonder who the bloke next to her is", he adds innocently.

Remus spares a glance to Auguste, feeling an unfamiliar pang of jealousy in his gut when he watches Brigitte laugh at something the handsome brunette said.

...Yay, so we're finally at Grimmauld Place! This chapter covered a long time frame but I really wanted to get to Order of the Phoenix, so the story will be continuing at a slower pace. I hope y'all are enjoying it.
