Quickly written between translations, so forgive its lack of stellar-ness. It really wants to be a good little drabble and bring happiness to the world! :)

Fleur and Krum were one thing now, one being, flesh to flesh without isthmus or outlet, contiguous. Overheated in their embrace, Viktor remembered the chill of Fleur’s skin after their trial underwater. Shaking her hand, ever sportsmanlike, he had stopped short at the sudden feel of deep water in her rush-light fingers. In a gesture grown automatic from years of bringing teammates’ extremities back to life with a surge of needling blood, he had pressed Fleur’s hands beneath his own calloused palms, and, with his heat flowing into her, he had finally understood that Fleur was more human than veela.
