Hermione's POV
It wasn't because of the broken eye contact that caught her off guard, it was what she saw behind his ear for the short second before it had been covered by his hair. It was a tattoo.
Seeing a tattoo wasn't so shocking for a muggle, nor wizards these days, but the tattoo he had wasn't just any ordinary tattoo. It wasn't a death eater's one so there was no need to worry. It was a tattoo that said HJG, her initials, carefully hidden behind his ear next to his ear lobe. Nobody could have spotted it... Had she been expecting to see it? Why else would she have noticed it? It was so small, people would have thought that it was a mole or something.
The man could be no other than Viktor Krum. He had gotten the tattoo a year after they had began to date, he had told her it was so that he would always have a part of her with him. Also, seeing him here was no surprise, he was a Qudditch player!
There was a sudden awkwardness in her heart, she felt like a part of her was missing and something was eating away at her heart. She sighed for a moment as memories of their past together swam through her mind. They were what people called a 'had been'. She shouldn't be thinking about this anymore, she was dating Ron and was in a serious relationship. But why was it bothering her so much all of a sudden when she hadn't even put a thought on Viktor once since breaking up with him? Was it because she was seeing him for the first time in a long time in person? She hoped that her thoughts would go away quickly... She had a feeling that something was going to happen, good... or bad.
