A/N: Hi all, sorry it took me so long to add this chapter, I was toying around with different ways of ending the story before I finally settled on this.

So yes, the story finally comes to an end in this chapter! Thanks to all my lovely reviewers and favouriters, its been a fun ride.

Without further fanfare, here it is...


The next morning, Hermione awoke before Fleur. She smiled at the blonde sleeping peacefully in her arms. Fleur made a small whimpering noise in her sleep and twitched. Hermione frowned, she was having nightmares again.

Kissing Fleur softly on the forehead, Hermione carefully disentangled herself from the beauty. She dressed for the day, wolfing down a small piece of toast before heading out of the apartment and into the city.

She stalked through the streets alone, making her way to the heart of the city. Hermione's mind turned to Fleur. Hermione could still scarcely believe her luck in winning over the blonde. It was enough to make her heart hurt with how amazing it was.

Hermione arrived at the justice centre jails down the street from the main Ministry buildings. The guards bowed to her as she walked in.

"Ms Granger," they smiled and greeted her, "What brings you here?"

Hermione suppressed a smile. Sometimes it paid to be a member of the Golden Trio.

"I'm here to visit an old friend," Hermione replied, "If you would be so kind as to give me a moment alone with her."

Sure enough, the guards were more than happy to oblige the Hermione Granger of the Golden Trio, leading her to a small interview room before bringing in the prisoner.

Nymphadora Tonks looked surprisingly well for someone who had been in the dingy cells of the jail, but Hermione wondered if that had something to do with her shape-shifting ability. The guards had her chained with magical shackles and chains around her wrists, ankles and waist, leading her to the chair across the table from Hermione. They nodded at Hermione before leaving the room again.

"Hermione, I'm so sorry!" Tonks immediately exclaimed. Hermione shook her head.

"Why didn't you tell us you had an Unbreakable Vow with Narcissa? We could have helped. The Order could have helped you."

"I never had an Unbreakable Vow with Narcissa," Tonks replied, a desperate tone in her voice, "You have to believe me."

Hermione narrowed her eyes, "Why would I believe you? I saw it with my own eyes. You're hardly trustworthy. You cheated on Lupin for christssakes."

Tonks thrashed in her chains, "I know I cheated on Lupin. I've done some shitty things, I'm hardly perfect. But don't you think if I had an Unbreakable Vow and was trying to stop you, I would have at least disguised myself?"

Hermione paused at this, biting at her lip.

"I suppose that's true… But why did you attack us?" Hermione asked.

"I was under the Imperius curse," Tonks explained, "I didn't see who cast it on me, but one minute I was at home with Teddy, the next I was attacking you and Fleur."

"Interesting…" Hermione mused, standing up.

"Are you going to tell them to let me go?" Tonks said, raising her voice shrilly.

"No," Hermione said, walking to the door, "Not until I have proof that you're telling the truth."

"Hermione! Can you at least check in on Teddy for me?! Please!" Tonks shouted, thrashing against her chains.

Hermione stepped out of the room, letting the guards walk in behind her. She thought about it for a moment, Bill probably wasn't the most reliable father figure for young Teddy. But perhaps Tonks' family had stepped in to care for him?


The door was open at Tonks' small cottage. Hermione stepped right in, calling out but not hearing an answer. She walked into the living room where Teddy was sitting. The small child was splattering some pudding into the carpet.

"Jesus, Teddy," Hermione muttered, walking into the living room, "Are you here alone?"

She picked up Teddy and, resting him on her hip, walked next door into the kitchen. She yelped in surprise at a figure she didn't think she would see again. Narcissa Malfoy was leaning against a wall behind the table, head thrown back and her eyes shut. Her chest was heaving.

"What are you doing here?" Hermione asked.

Narcissa opened her eyes and lowered her head to look at her. Hermione could see angry red scars marring her face from where Fleur had slashed her. A ruffled head of red hair emerged as Bill Weasley stood up from where he had been kneeling in front of Narcissa, out of sight.

"I could ask you the same thing," Bill said roughly.

"Jesus, Bill, you really can't keep it in your pants, can you?" Hermione said in disbelief, "I mean a Death Eater… really?!"

"The heart wants what the heart wants," Bill said with a smirk, before disarming Hermione with a swift expelliarmus.

"So… what? You set up Tonks to get her out of the way so you could get with Malfoy's mum?" Hermione asked in disbelief, "What makes you think you can silence me now that I know?"

"I can think of a pretty effective way of silencing someone," Bill said darkly.

"Come on," Hermione said, surprised, "I know you're really spiraling out of control with your morals, but you wouldn't actually kill someone, would you?"

"Hm, would I kill the meddling girl that stole my wife from me?" Bill said sarcastically, scratching his chin for dramatic effect.

"Bill, darling, if you kill the girl loved by the Veela that did this to my face, I can promise I will reward you," Narcissa purred, running her hand over his shoulder. Hermione shuddered.

"What makes you think someone won't come barging in right now and stop you?" Hermione asked nervously, shifting Teddy on her hip.

"Please," Bill said, rolling his eyes, "You think Ron never talked about you? I know what you're like. You would have come here without telling Fleur, in some valiant attempt to spare her danger. Your little friend group are so obsessed with being the hero. Such a shame that its going to be your undoing."

"Wow, you have me to a tee," Hermione said, "But the problem is, unlike you, I try to change for the better…"

There were two rapid flashes of red and Narcissa and Bill's wands flew out of their hands as Fleur stepped into the room.

"Oui, Hermione promised me she would not be so overprotective of me and she is doing her best to keep that promise," Fleur said, walking closer to Narcissa and Bill.

"Veela," Narcissa hissed, fury evident in her eyes. But Fleur was looking at Bill.

"Bill… what happened to you? You used to be such an honourable man. I used to respect you. I used to love you. Now I am disgusted by you," Fleur said, shaking her head. Bill squared his jaw.

"Its her fault," Bill said, jerking his head towards Hermione, "We would still be together if she hadn't made that scene at Hogwarts after the battle and then none of this would have happened."

Hermione rolled her eyes.

"You need to start taking responsibility for your own actions," Fleur said coldly, "I hope that being taken to justice helps you with that."

Fleur flicked her wand, conjuring glowing yellow ties that bound Bill and Narcissa.


Hermione stirred her cup of tea thoughtfully at the table.

"Hermione!" Fleur called from the bedroom, "Can you help me change Teddy?"

"Its your turn!" Hermione called back with a smirk, "I did it the last two times!"

"You're better at it than me!" Fleur called back. Sighing, Hermione pushed her tea away and walked into the bedroom. Fleur was standing in the bedroom looking frazzled. Several strands of her platinum hair had escaped her bun. Hermione giggled and looped her hand around Fleur's waist, kissing her gently.

"Is this a horrible preview of what you'll be like as a mother?" Hermione joked.

"Don't let that scare you off me," Fleur said with a smile, "Besides, Tonks should be here any minute to pick up Teddy so this will be the last time you have to change him."

"You're lucky you're cute, Delacour," Hermione smirked, before stepping in to change Teddy. Teddy kicked his legs happily. There was a knock at the door and Fleur swept out of the room. The overly polite tone of Fleur indicated it was probably Tonks. The two women were still awkward around each other. Hermione finished changing Teddy and hoisted him up.

"Hey Tonks," she greeted, coming to join Fleur at the door. She kissed Fleur on the cheek.

"You know, as much as I never would have pictured you two together in a million years, you make a cute couple," Tonks said, taking Teddy from Hermione.

"Thanks, Tonks," Fleur said, smiling genuinely.

"Its pretty amazing finally getting to date the girl I've had a crush on for ages," Hermione admitted. Fleur put her arm around her waist and leaned in to kiss her.

"Okay, well I have to go enjoy my newly regained freedom and scrub the Narcissa out of my house," Tonks said with distaste, "Thanks… for everything, guys. I know I'm probably not your favourite person but it means a lot."

"Take care, Tonks," Hermione said with a smile as Tonks left. Fleur closed the door with a smile.

"Finally baby free, what are we going to do now?" Fleur said with a stretch.

"I can think of one thing I really want to do," Hermione said, pulling Fleur towards her by the waist and kissing her deeply. She began to step backwards towards the bedroom, still maintaining the kiss.

"You aren't still scared of hurting me?" Fleur said, her voice husky with desire. Hermione smiled, and began kissing Fleur's neck.

"Someone smart once told me I'm a little overprotective of you. I promise I won't hurt you," Hermione said, nipping Fleur's neck. Fleur let out a moan.

"That 'someone' sounds very intelligent, not to mention beautiful," Fleur said with a small chuckle.

"Ahh, there's that ego again," Hermione said, beginning to take off Fleur's clothes, savouring every moment. She motioned for Fleur to lie on the bed and then began shyly undressing herself. Fleur watched her with such a hungry look it spurred her on.

Naked, Hermione then slid up the bed, climbing up Fleur's body. Reaching Fleur's lips, she kissed her sweetly.

"You are so amazing," Hermione whispered. She kissed at Fleur's neck again as Fleur began to run her hands over her body.

"You have goosebumps," Fleur said softly.

"Its what you do to me," Hermione replied between kisses, making her way down to Fleur's collarbone, "You drive me wild."

She cupped Fleur's breasts in her hands as she kissed her way down to them.

"I love the feel of your hands on my body," Fleur all but purred. Hermione moved her hands down Fleur's sides, being careful to avoid the injured area. She kissed and licked at Fleur's nipples. She smirked at how hard they were. Evidently, the effect she had on Fleur was similar to the effect Fleur had on her. Fleur let out a little whimper. Hermione finally moved to kissing further down Fleur, enjoying worshipping the blonde's body.

Reaching Fleur's hips, Hermione noticed that Fleur was getting wrigglier with the anticipation, arching her back and raising her hips and letting out another moan. Hermione paused and looked up at Fleur.

"Mon amour… please…" Fleur said in a strangled voice.

Hermione felt herself getting wet. It was such a turn on to see Fleur practically begging for her. She moved to kiss up the inside of Fleur's toned and soft thighs. She could smell Fleur's arousal and it was urging her on, but she was determined to take her time.

She wrapped her arms around Fleur's thighs as she reached the top of Fleur's thighs. She kept kissing closer and closer to Fleur's pussy before suddenly kissing away again, resulting in more squirming from Fleur.

"Please… Hermione…" Fleur whimpered. Finally, Hermione obliged, taking one long lick up the length of Fleur's pussy. Fleur let out a loud moan. Hermione then set into more concentrated quick, short licks. She was loving the sounds it was eliciting from Fleur. Thinking logically, as was her way, Hermione turned her attention most to the areas that produced the most enthusiastic response from Fleur. Once she focused in on one specific spot with a particular movement, Fleur arched her back wildly. Hermione's jaw was beginning to ache and her tongue was feeling tired. But as Fleur began to exclaim rapidly in French, Hermione felt a renewed burst of energy. She decided to try something else she had often thought about doing to Fleur, and cautiously moved to slip two fingers inside her. Fleur let out a loud moan as Hermione began to thrust into her as she continued licking. Fleur began to tense and Hermione could tell she was close. She felt a tightening around her fingers as Fleur called out her name. Hermione climbed up to cuddle Fleur with a smirk on her face.

"You are a quick learner, Hermione," Fleur panted, kissing her.

"So I've been told," Hermione chuckled, "I didn't hurt you."

"Non, quite the opposite," Fleur sighed. Fleur's long dark eyelashes fluttered as she shut her eyes contentedly.

"You have no idea how long I wanted that for," Hermione said with a smile. She looked over at Fleur who was now eying her hungrily again.

"And now time for me to return the favour."

And return it she did, twice.

Spooning Fleur afterwards in bed, Hermione smiled into Fleur's silky soft hair.

"I don't think I've ever been this happy before," Hermione murmured, "Or at least I can't remember a time I was happier."

"Me neither. I don't think I've felt this content before either," Fleur replied sleepily.

"I love you Fleur," Hermione said, tightening her grip on Fleur.

"Je t'aime, Hermione," Fleur said softly.
