After the battle of Hogwarts, the school was in complete ruins. Students couldn't find their classrooms, let alone sleep safely in their dorms! So the ministry made a decision- all Hogwarts students were to go to a wizarding school in Bulgaria. Some were excited, some were miserable- Ron Weasley was one that was miserable. He wasn't an idiot. He knew who went to that school.
Viktor Krum.
And since he couldn't muck up the courage to ask Hermione to be his girlfriend after they kissed, he was worried that Viktor would sweep her off her feet and steal her away again.
Hermione, on the other hand, was surprisingly excited to go to school in Bulgaria! She thought it would 'Be a good chance to study and learn about a new culture'. But she was still worried that Ron would be studying Bulgarian girl's butts rather than their culture.
The day they arrived at school, they got their dorm assignments. Ron and Harry were to room together, and Ginny and Hermione were room mates as well. They all were in the same tower, just as they had been at Hogwarts.
That afternoon they had started their classes and all had gone smoothly with no Krum-run ins. However, after class Hermione wasn't so lucky. She and Ginny had been walking through the quad, heading toward their dorm's common room when they heard a heavily accented call of 'Hermione!'.
"Is that Viktor?" Hermione hissed to Ginny as Viktor ran to catch up. Ginny simply nodded and watched nervously as Krum made his way towards them.
"Hey, Hermione and...Err, I'm sorry I don't know your name."
"Ginny Weasley." Ginny replied and held her hand out. Viktor took her hand and planted a big, wet kiss on it.
"My pleasure." He whispered with a skeevy smile. Ginny grimaced and wiped her hand on her skirt.
"So, what do you need, Viktor?" Hermione asked casually; even though her insides were screaming to run off and find Ron.
"I was just hoping that we could pick up where we left off at the Yule ball. Maybe we could get some dinner off campus tomorrow night?"
"I would love to, but I can't."
"Why not?"
"Why not? Ummm, I uh-have-uh..." Hermione stuttered. "I, uh, have a boyfriend!"
"Who?" Viktor questioned, obviously skeptical. Hermione racked her brain for a name for her fake boyfriend.
"His name's uhh-"
"Ron Weasley! She's dating my brother. Very much in love, those two!" Ginny interrupted with a wide smile. Viktor's mood obviously saddened and his shoulders hunched.
"Oh, well I guess we'll talk some other time then." He muttered and walked off. Hermione spun around to face Ginny once he was out of earshot.
"What was that, Ginny?" She yelled.
"That was called help Hermione. You should be thanking me." Ginny snapped. "But maybe you should tell Ron about his new relationship first."
Hermione grumbled something incoherent and made her way towards the common room. After the short walk, she pushed open the large doors and saw Ron and Harry sitting across a table from each other, playing wizards chess.
"Ron, can I speak to you please?" Hermione asked as she made her way towards them.
"Now?" Ron peered up at her and she nodded. Ron sighed and got up. "Be back in a few, Harry."
"No rush! Take your time!" Harry called with a snicker, since he obviously knew about their feelings for each other.
"So what's going on?" Ron questioned once they reached Hermione's dorm. Hermione took a deep breath and explained what happened to Ron.
"So would you mind just pretending to be my boyfriend for a while? I don't want to get involved with Viktor."
"Let me get this straight- You want me to pretend to be your boyfriend. Like hold your hand, kiss you, be sweet to you?" He asked and Hermione nodded. Ron broke out into a smile. "Shouldn't be that hard."
"Really? Oh, thank you!" Hermione cried and wrapped her arms around his neck in an embrace. He squeezed her back and they pulled apart after a moment. Ron leaned forward and planted a lingering kiss on Hermione's lips.
"What was that for?" She whispered after a moment.
Ron shrugged, "Might as well get some practice."
