Bill stretched lazily. By the light coming in the window, he knew it wouldn't be long before they would need to be up caring for their house full of guests. Bill ran a finger gently down Fleur's bare arm. She twitched but didn't awaken. He whispered her name, and she shifted in her sleep.
"Fleur, wake up," Bill said a little more loudly.
"What iz it?" She mumbled.
"It's still early, and the house is quiet. I thought we could . . ."
Fleur interrupted, "Zere are too many people in this 'ouse, and if it's early, maybe I can make breakfast without all of zem underfoot."
"It's been a long time, love."
Fleur smiled. "It has not been zat long, but we will not have a house full forever. Soon."
"I'm going to hold you to that. You know I can smell you even from across a room, and it's making me crazy."
Fleur responded by kissing Bill deeply, sealing her promise of soon.
When they arrived downstairs clad in dressing gowns, they found a note on the kitchen table. Fleur held it up so she and Bill could read it together.
Dear Fleur and Bill,
We had something we had to do. We don't know when or if we will be back. Thank you for everything!
Love,
Ron, Hermione, Harry, and Griphook
Fleur snorted. "Griphook and ze boys did not sign this."
"No, it's Hermione's handwriting," Bill chuckled. "At least they left a note, but I wish I knew what they're up to. I'm really concerned about all the plotting those three have been doing with Griphook."
Fleur just nodded.
"I think I may stop by Gringotts, just to check."
"Beel! Ze Ministry is looking for you for information on Ron! You cannot go to Gringotts!"
"I'm not planning on walking in the front door. I know how to get in without being seen by other humans. And if the Goblins see me, they won't care. Besides, it wouldn't hurt for us to have some more gold on hand. Feeding this lot has been expensive."
Fleur waved her hand as if to wipe away the expense. "It does not matter."
"Of course it doesn't! But we could still use some more gold."
"All right. But eat your breakfast first."
Fleur cooked breakfast, and by the time she was finished, Luna and Dean were up and the four of them ate together. Luna offered to do the washing up, and Fleur went outside with Bill.
"Be safe, love."
"You, too."
"See you soon."
Bill nodded, kissed Fleur, and Disapparated.

Once Bill had left, Fleur took a short walk to clear her head and calm her nerves. It was a truly beautiful day, and she had an idea. She went into the kitchen and prepared.
"Luna, Dean," Fleur called. When they appeared, she continued without waiting for them to speak. "It is a beautiful day, and the two of you need to be outside having fun. We have all been cooped up in here too much recently. I've made you a picnic. There's a blanket in the basket, too. Go, eat among ze wildflowers, and don't worry about anything. Just come back at dark and we can all have dinner together."
Luna and Dean thanked her, and hurried off. Fleur sighed happily at the empty house, put aside her concern for Bill for the moment, and had a long, luxurious bubble bath. It really had been a long time since she had done that.
When she had dried herself off, she put on the black lingerie Bill had purchased for her. It wasn't her favorite, because it was difficult to put on by herself, but this was for Bill. She tied the sheer top at each shoulder, trying to get the bows straight. She tied the three little bows on each side of the sheer knickers, and put on her black high heels to complete the outfit.
She took her ratty dressing gown downstairs with her, just in case Luna and Dean were back before Bill, and poured herself a glass of elderflower wine, and set another out to breathe for when Bill came home.
Fleur had finished her glass of wine and just poured another when she heard the door open. "Beel?" She called.
"It's me," said Bill. "The first time I ever spoke to you was just before the Third Task at the Triwizard Tournament. Nobody else knows that when I told my mum I was going to the loo, I actually came to wish you luck."
"And you were wearing jeans, a denim shirt, green dragonhide boots, and a fang earring to the great displeasure of your mother. I also said I was going to the loo to divert Madame Maxime's attention, but found you on the way."
Bill came around the corner and saw Fleur. She smiled at the raise of his eyebrows.
"Where are . . ."
"I sent them on a picnic."
"What if . . ."
"They won't come back early. Luna is a smart girl. How were things at Gringotts?"
"Harry, Ron, and Hermione broke into a vault and escaped on the back of a dragon. I put protective spells on them so the Goblins' spells would miss, and I got us some more gold."
"Oh, Beel. You are so silly. Come here." Fleur kissed him.
Bill untied one of the bows on her shoulder. Fleur playfully slapped at his hand. "Do you know how long it took me to tie zat?"
"No, but that's why I like this thing. I get to unwrap you." Bill almost growled as he pulled her to him.
