Fleur’s Surprise

Wild Flower

An owl was already waiting for them at the kitchen's window. Hermione let it in, taking the letter from Fleur, which affirmed the dates of the Granger visit with her parents and informed them that she would arrive on Monday and stay with them throughout the summer.

Dan still frowned a bit, but he was also quite curious to get to meet this young lady.

Hermione insisted on finishing their school work before Fleur came, and Harry agreed, if only to stop her nagging. It wasn't too bad either. With her parents gone to their clinic, Hermione preferred staying nude most of the time, allowing Harry not only to enjoy the view, but to also touch and fondle, and when they got very aroused – to have some hot s*x as well. They still managed to finish all their tasks in a few days.

Evenings were dedicated to visiting the different Potter lodgings, usually including a nice dinner served by the resident house-elves. As much as they were impressed by the London house, the other places were even more impressive. The Potter Manor was practically a palace, built similarly to some European Royal palaces, surrounded by a large formal garden, and as elegant as any, yet warm and inviting. When sitting in the family room or the library, it felt just as homely as the Granger house.

The unplottable villa proved to be near a Mediterranean beach in Spain which looked ideal for vacations. Another manor house was located in Scotland. It blended nicely with its surroundings but Hermione found it too cold, even during summer. It also seemed not to have been used for many generations. The old house elf there could only remember a single visit of James, as a young child, and none of Lilly. Yet even that place held a magnificent library which Hermione made sure to put on her list of places to visit again.

They spent the weekend leisurely. The Grangers were starting to come to terms with the young couple's new situation, especially after both teens promised to have a formal muggle wedding once they finished school. None of their muggle guests would need to know that the small child present was actually their son.

They also discussed some of their plans for the vacation. The Grangers used to spend some time at a clothes-free resort almost each vacation. Hermione didn't join them on the last vacation due to the Quidditch world cup, and the previous one was spent far from the beaches, as Hermione was more interested in the magical history of France than in full body tan.

Harry didn't know what to say. He had never been to a beach and certainly not to a clothes-free one. His uncle would have had a stroke just hearing the idea. Thinking about it, he didn't really mind one way or the other. Harry had been using the boys' showers for the last four years, where everybody was naked and didn't mind it at all. He had been bathing with Hermione for a few months already and with Fleur a bit less. If he could somewhat control his reaction to them then he could surely control it with others. Yet he wasn't sure he wanted others to see his Hermione naked. For that matter, he wasn't sure he wanted to see Emma and Dan naked either.

Yet Hermione was the one to set the tone. "I really miss the beach, you know. Fleur has told me that one of their houses is near the Mediterranean sea, almost on the beach. Maybe we could go there."

They didn't have to wait for long. Fleur arrived Monday morning with the Knight Bus, early enough to join their breakfast. Dan was the one who opened the door for her and Harry smirked as he saw Dan's reaction. Even Emma found it hilarious, as Dan stared open mouthed at the blond beauty, almost unable to believe she was real. Hermione stepped forward and engulfed her with a hug. "Welcome, Fleur. This is may father, Dan, who still seems to think you are some kind of vision." She led Fleur in and introduced her mother as well. Harry only hugged Fleur, but she also kissed his cheek chastely.

Dan recovered slowly. Eventually he was able to say, "Glad to meet you, Fleur. You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen." It took him several more minutes to understand how hard he now had to work to placate is wife.

As soon as they were left alone, Fleur suggested, "Let's all go to bed." At the raised brows she explained, as if any explanation was needed, "For s*x, that is."

She met no real opposition. They all removed their clothes and cuddled in Hermione's enlarged bed. It was just innocent hugging at first, but it quickly turned into passionate lovemaking as Fleur tried to compensate for the week apart. Harry enjoyed pleasuring both girls, finally finishing off in Fleur's mouth. "It won't make me pregnant if I swallow it," she winked at Harry.

Fleur had been very attentive at her contraceptive charms since first getting together with Harry and she was now taking a potion to make sure she won't get pregnant until she wanted to. Knowing how strong Veela s*x drive was and how powerful a wizard Harry was becoming, she wasn't sure that even this double protection was enough.

Once they were all sated, Hermione started interrogating Fleur about the planned vacation.

"My parents didn't make any specific plans. As they have a few houses and have access to some more, scattered all around France, it's up to your parents where to stay and what to do there. My parents will only advise and suggest as appropriate."

"Do you know of any clothes-free beach near one of your houses? My parents would like to visit such a beach for at least a part of their vacation," Hermione asked.

"There are a few, but then, most places where we could go also have private pools. Nobody wears any clothing when using them."

Hermione smiled. "I like the idea..."

It was time for Fleur to ask. "Do you feel your pregnancy already?"

"Not physically. I do feel like I'm having another soul within me and it started a few days after our bonding. That is probably the magical manifestation of pregnancy, but I can't be sure. I've not seen a healer since."

"You should," Fleur told her.

"I know. Mum had already set a meeting for me with her gynecologist and I also intend to visit St. Mungos after that."

"Do you want me to come along?" Fleur offered.

"No, thanks. Mum will be with me and that's more than enough. Not even Harry will come along."

Hermione needed a change of subject. "I don't think my parents will let you join us in my bedroom, as I believe you would like."

Fleur smiled. "Of course not, although I'd like that the best. What can we do?"

"They didn't tell me which room to settle you in, so I suggest you take the one adjacent to mine. We can then open the wall magically. The other alternative would be across the corridor." It was clear that none liked it.

With sleeping arrangements out of the way, they started planning their holiday. "I believe that you would like to visit all of Harry's possessions," Hermione stated.

"Our possessions," he corrected.

"Of course, dear, only you inherited them. Once you marry Fleur they will be hers as well."

Harry brought the list of all the places. Besides the ones in Britain, most of which they had already visited, there were a few elsewhere. The large villa on the Spanish coast attracted their attention and a castle in Normandy, whose foundations were older than Hogwarts. Another, smaller, house was on the French Riviera and a vacation cabin was in the Swiss Alps.

"Let's visit the London house first and then the Potter Manor," Fleur suggested. "These seem to be the most interesting places. We may even want to stay overnight at either or both of these," she winked suggestively.

"We have about two weeks before we join you to France. Time enough for other visits as well," Hermione noted.

Once they were fully clothed, Harry used the portkey to reach the London house. He introduced Fleur to his house elves and let them serve (and join) quite a festive lunch. Fleur was very impressed by the way he treated them. She also liked the library best, but only after spending some time in the master bedroom. Once they went out, she also noticed it was just a short walking distance from her father's apartment and from many of the London attractions. They could easily walk to either Diagon Alley or to one of the muggle shopping areas. An Underground station was just behind the corner, letting them reach anywhere in greater London with ease.

Fleur was not one to let a shopping opportunity pass by. She dragged the younger teens into some of the more expensive shops, buying very nice outfits for the three of them. Harry had to admit that these new clothes made Hermione look breathtaking while his own were very comfortable and made both girls happy.

Fleur used side-along apparition to take them home to the Grangers on time, arriving minutes before dinner time. Seeing their shopping, Emma just smiled understandingly, while Dan looked at Harry with some pity.

Emma took Hermione for a medical checkup the next afternoon, leaving Harry and Fleur at home. Fleur thought it was a good time for some rumbling in bed, but Harry's thoughts were on Hermione and he refused the generous offer, yet Fleur wasn't offended. She didn't really expect him to agree.

"The doctor confirmed what we already know, that I'm pregnant for about a month. She was a bit worried that I may be too young to give birth, but after checking me thoroughly she concluded that it wasn't more dangerous than if I was eighteen. My body is ready for this, so she said," Hermione told them as she came back. Harry smiled lovingly at her. She knew he was a bit worried and now, seeing her, he calmed down.

Both Harry and Fleur went with Hermione to St. Mungos. She was checked by an old, very severe healer, who would say nothing until she finished her routine. She then smiled at them reassuringly. "Your son seems to be in good health and is growing normally, and Lady Potter is also in good health and perfectly able to carry on and give birth on time. Will you stay at Hogwarts for the delivery or would you rather do it here?"

Harry wasn't sure."Do you have any recommendation?"

"Not really. Your healer there is one of the best and is more than capable of handling a delivery. Here you have a larger staff to handle unexpected situations, but it is also more crowded and less personal. It's your choice to make, but you don't have to hurry."

The teens didn't seem to have any idea. "You should also consider if you want to go to Hogwarts this year or study at home. As the pregnancy advances, Lady Potter may find all those stairs difficult to handle and her bulging belly may also attract unwelcome attention," she added, which only made the couple more confused.

"I'll prescribe a potion to ease morning sicknesses, which you'll probably start feeling in a few weeks. Take a spoon in the evening and it will help you feel better in the morning. There's also another potion which can be taken after waking up, but if you already feel nauseous you may be unable to take it. I recommend you start taking the evening potion no later than two weeks from now."

Hermione nodded. She had already read everything about pregnancy, but once it got personal, it was quite different. Both Harry and Fleur squeezed her hands reassuringly.

As time passed, both Harry and Hermione became more comfortable with Fleur, and not only physically. They turned from semi-formal friendly relations into full friendship and a bit more. Harry started feeling much closer to Fleur than before and started caring for her almost as much as he cared for Hermione. Their physical relations also got more heated as his feelings changed.

The Grangers were also getting accustomed to Fleur's presence. Dan was no longer dropping his jaw or losing his tongue in her presence, unless she released some of her allure, which she had done a few times after coordinating it with Emma. Even when she removed her allure, Dan would still be very aroused, which later translated into a very pleasant evening for Emma as well.

The Grangers also noticed that the teens were getting closer. Dan was still unsure about the rivalry he imagined between Hermione and Fleur, yet there was nothing to indicate such rivalry existed. If anything, Hermione seemed to be happier and more lively since Fleur joined them

"Have you all packed for tomorrow?" Emma asked them the day before their flight to Paris.

They all nodded. "I didn't pack my old swimsuit," Hermione noted. "It's too small already and Fleur said we could buy much nicer ones in France."

"Assuming we shall need swimsuits," Dan smiled. "If I understand correctly, these are not used at the pools within Delacour properties, and the beaches nearby are of the clothing optional type."

"I've made sure to take your dark sunglasses, or your eyes may roll out, if you spend too much time on the beach," Emma said teasingly.

"Oh, you spoilsport!" he complained before kissing her.

The next morning they boarded the train, all dressed for vacation. Fleur wore a very conservative T-shirt over a loose long flowery skirt, reminding Harry a bit of Luna. Fleur even put her long hair into a loose bun, trying to look the least enticing that she could. Harry thought she still looked as sexy as possible, with only Hermione looking sexier.
