Chapter one: He can stay?

Hermione was looking at the roll of parchement with uttter delight. She couldn't beleive that he really wanted to visit her. Aproaching this subject was a delicate procedure when asking her parents if he could stay; especially her overprotective father.

"Mum, dad can I ask you something?" Hemrione asked cautiously to her parents, Jane and Steven Granger. "Sure thing sweet...What is it?" Her father replied looking at her with his kind face and upturned lips. "Well there is this guy who I would like to invite to stay at our house with me for a couple weeks." She hesitated looking from her mother then father before hastily looking back at her mother."That would be wonderful Darling,who is it Harry? Ron?" Her mother asked looking delighted. "No mum, Viktor. I want to invite Viktor Krum to stay with us."She said with a hint of nervousness in her voice. Jane cocked her head quizzically to one side as if trying to catch a stray idea. "oooh, you mean that foreign boy that took you to the ball you had in fourth year.""Really that foreign boy isn't he older than you? Steven quipped looking suspiciously at his daughter. "Yes dad and his name is Viktor by the way. You don't need to treat him like an illegal immigrant!" Hermione felt a slight indignation at Viktor being treated like nothing more than a foreign alien.. "Yes well I read about that boy in the paer you handed me. Isn't he the spoiled Bulgarian that plays some stupid sport? Aren't his parents rich?" Steven asked calmly making Hermione even angrier than she had been previously with his rude comments. "No! dad that's not fair, he plays Quidditch but he isn't spoiled and his parents aren't rich he has enough money because he works for it and I don't appreciate you calling my boyfriend a spoiled Bulgarian!" hemrione retorted and with that stomped off her room. She was seething when she heard a few raised voices in the kitchen down stairs, she realized that her parents where probably "discussing" wether or not Viktor could stay and in less than ten minutes Jane was standing outside Hermione's door smiling. She nocked lightly entering the room. "Well I discussed this with your father and we decided that Viktor can come and stay but I must warn you your father will no doubt try to intimidate the poor boy." Hermione ran to her mother and hugged her tightly. "Thanks mum but I don't think that dad could intimidate Viktor Krum.

End Flashback.

Hermione slipped into her pink silk pajamas and hopped into bed. The night was warm and the sweet melody the crikets made could be heard from her bedroom window . Her smile broadened when she noticed an owl carrying Viktor's letter, that was illuminated by the sliver of moonlight that penetrated from her bedroom window. I'll be able to hold him in two days She thought before turning over and beginning a series of many pleasant dreams.
