It took several more days of persistence to get Molly to admit that Fleur and Bill were married. Fleur liked to think it was her ever present charm, wit, and polite social training that finally proved her point. And her utter genius as a tactician.

It might have actually had something with all the Fleur nakedness and her shouting matches with Molly in the early mornings along the lines of "Iz my husband! I will stay in his bed if I want! And I will do our dishez!"

When they finally left, Molly was teary eyed and gave them both tight hugs. And encourages for them both to come and visit again soon. Arthur just smiled and gave them both a squeeze before the two disappeared off to London.



And now they were in Paris. Walking hand in hand up the hilltop to Montmartre.



"Thiz iz where I grew up. Maman keepz a small tea and herb shop 'ere. The Parisians try to keep down the residential growth 'ere, so we lived over the shop. Everything alwayz smelled like flowerz. And so much sunshine. And daisies. Iz Maman'z favorite tea."

Fleur looks up shyly at Bill. "...what do you think?"

"Shhh." With the greatest caution, Bill extracts himself from Gabrielle's sleeping grip; they tuck the blankets round her and turn out the light quietly, quietly.

He lets Fleur lead the way: it's her home, her protocol. Whatever she wants is what he'll do.

So long as they're together.

And he thinks: not so horrible after all. Of course, they haven't seen Lurline again since she disappeared with a pointed slam of the door, but what's done can't be undone and he has no desire to do anything just to appease anyone but Fleur.

Well... maybe Gabrielle; she's very sweet.



The day brings the sweet smell of flowers mingled with chocolate and fresh-baked bread. In another part of the house, someone's singing softly.

Bill kisses Fleur awake.

At least.

No matter where they are, it feels like home when they wake up this way. Still, he's starting to yearn for something familiar.

But he can think about all of that in five more minutes.

Or five more after that.

"Then there's nothing to do but stay right here all day. Do you think your mother and sister would mind?"

With a soft smile, he strokes her shoulder. "Do you want to go back to the bar for a few days, hide out in our room? Clothing is entirely optional there. We can always go back to London later and find the right flat; nothing says we need to do it right away."

Really, the more time together, the happier he'll be.

"Hmm."

Maman might not care about the naked, but there are a few things Bill still holds private.

Or would like to; he pulls the sheets up just a little bit higher, then turns to Fleur with a grin. "I'll just have to cover you up myself."

At least until either Lurline arrives, Gabrielle bursts in, or they decide to be polite guests and dress.
