Chapter 1: A Whole New World
As a raven taps on a unseen glass, a body stirs. The glowing red hair of a seventeen-year old girl is turning as her head emerges from a sea of covers. Ginny Weasly has been woken up.
It was Ginny's last year at Hogwarts, and she really missed Harry and Hermione. After Harry couldn't be with Ginny anymore, Ginny has hardly gotten any sleep. She has Been waiting for the first Hogsmeade visit so she could see Hermione, who lives there currently working at a new branch of Fred and George's joke shop. And as she wakes up, she can't stop thinking of Hermione.
"Ginny, wake up" said a fellow Gryffandor."They posted the next Hogsmeade visit!" she exclaimed."Wanna go to …"
But Ginny never heard the rest of her invitation, since she hurried to the common room to see the date. It was next Saturday. Maybe when she saw Hermione then, she could tell her what she's been wanting to tell Hermione for a very long time.
Hermione woke up very early that day. A week ago, when Fred and George came to visit the new store, they set Hermione in charge of the whole division.
"Really?" She said. "Yeah" The twins said in unison. "You deserve it."
Now, a week later, Hermione started telling the others to restock the muggle tricks, while she sorted the new installment of trick wands.
"I vas vanting to see Her-my-ninny" said a tall figure with a accent that had to be Bulgarian to one of the newer workers at the shop. Hermione stopped in her tracks and the trick wands she was holding fell to the ground.
"Viktor!" she gushed as she ran up to hug him. "I haven't seen you in ages. What have you been up to? Why are you in England?" Hermione was so surprised, she spilled over her own words, a thing she hasn't done since her fourth year at Hogwarts, over the same guy. But the old Viktor Krum has changed into a new man. He stood even taller than he used to, and more buff than Hermione had remembered him, receiving an absolute gorgeous figure.
"Her-my-ninny, I vas vanting to have a vord. Do you vork her? This is a new place. Can vee talk?" He had asked her. As he asked, Hermione looked him up and down, which Krum must of taken as a yes, since he took her hand in his and started walking.
"I haved missed you" he whispered as they exited onto the main road. "you live next to Ogwarts. You must miss it?" he asked. Hermione could only nod her head, since she was so amazed at his tone. Hermione had thought that Viktor would of forgotten about her, that she was just a one time fling. But she was older now. "I'm nineteen now" she thought, as he put his hand around her neck as they walked on.
"Why did you come back Viktor?" she started. "I mean, I missed you a lot, but I thought you would of forgotten about me." She finished as they walked into the tea shop that Hermione recognized to be the one where Harry and Cho went during their fifth year. As they descended on a table Viktor leaned in so close to Hermione that she couldn't see anything other than his face.
"I told you," he said delicately into Hermione's ear "I have missed you. How can I vorget about you?"
And before Hermione could reply, Viktor leaned in even more and started to kiss her. It was a passionate kiss, one like nothing Hermione could of expected. They stayed glued to each other for a long time, and everyone, including the waitress waiting to take their order after their moment of P.D.A. finished.
When they finally stopped, they heard many snaps, taken by the famously annoying Rita Skeeter, who before leaving the shop mumbled how this would make the cover: 'An old spark rekindles the fame in the heart of one flyer!'.
The rest of their time at the tea shop was less exciting, since a lot of people came up to them for Viktor's autograph. While they did talk in the shop, nothing could have been more surprising then what had happened in there, that is of course, until what happened when they left.
Victors arm was on Hermione's leg as they sat down on the bench next to her little house. They were talking when all of a sudden Viktor's arms grab Hermione by the waist as he pulls her toward his upgraded body.
"I am a little tired of talking" he rushes to say before they start to make out. Hermione doesn't even care that people snap photos of the Bulgarian seeker kissing who knows who as they pass going wherever they were headed. "This is one of the best days of my life." Hermione thought to herself when Viktor kissed her a good-bye. He said he would see her again next Saturday as she walked up the steps to her front door. "This is the life" Hermione said, as she walked inside, forgetting that she was supposed to be at the shop. The others could lock up tonight. This was Hermione's day.
