I DON'T OWN HARRY POTTER. I AM SORRY FOR THE SHORT CHAPTER PREVIOUSLY, I WAS RUSHED! ROSE ELVEY!

Chapter 4:

Hermione POV:

I was getting ready for my date with Fred. I was wearing my tight fitting jeans and my loose white blouse with a leather jacket on top so I wouldn't get cold. Ginny had straightened my hair for me and done my make-up too. I was ready to go, I was nervous but excited!

I ran downstairs and Fred was waiting for me, when he saw me his eyes nearly popped out of his skull.

"You look very pretty Hermione!" He managed to spit out.

"Does that mean you can put your eyes back into your skull?" Ginny had followed me down and was now watching this exchange. He glared at her.

"Are you ready to go Fred?" he nodded and took my arm. "So where are we going?" He tapped his nose.

"My dear Hermione, its surprise!" He whisked me away to Hogsmead and then we went into the three broomsticks. He bought me a butterbeer and also some food. He was talking about his and Georges dream to open a joke shop. He was asking me what I wanted to be and it was then when I realised I had never actually thought past getting through this year of Hogwarts, I always took it a year at a time ever since my first year! I knew that being Harry Potter's friend would be difficult but Dumbledore said that there's a chance I may have to fight alongside Harry and Ron in a big battle against Voldemort. Once he had told me that I knew I may never get the chance to have a life after Hogwarts.

"Well to be honest Fred, I have never really thought about it! I never have time, in between helping Harry with various things and trying to keep my grades up I never get much chance to dream about the future!"

"Oh that's so sad Hermione, you should, it's what every girl does, dreams about meeting their knight in shining armour that'll come and rescue them from the tower!"

"Do I seem like the kind of girl who dreams about knights in shining armour?!" He laughed.

"I suppose not, well maybe you're secretly a real soppy girl!" Now it was my turn to laugh. I held my hands up.

"You got me, underneath all of this, is a girl who sits in bed and watched chick-flicks!"

"What's a chick-flick?"

"Oh, sorry, it doesn't matter it's a muggle term for a really girly film!"

"Oh!" We spent most of the day in Hogsmead and at around four we started to head back and that was when I heard a stupid laugh echoing from behind us.

"GRANGER AND HALF THE GINGER WEASLE DUO?"

"It's nice to be recognised by such a high and mighty pureblood like yourself Malfoy, why, I am so flattered!"

"You dare talk to me MUDBLOOD!"

"YOU DARE TALK TO ME PUREBLOOD!" He raised his wand and before I could even realise what was happening I was thrown into a tree and I heard a rib crack, I tried to get back up but I just couldn't. Malfoy went to shoot me again but instead Fred jumped in front of me and put up a defence shield, people were now gathering, not bothering to help, just watching to see how it all played out.

"Hermione, run!"

"I can't Fred!" I was nearly crying it hurt so much. Fred shield was about to give. He turned to face Malfoy and he started to say every spell imaginable and in between them he was shouting at the people to help. Finally, I felt someone gently life me up and run with me. I looked up to see none other than Mr Viktor Krum. We really need to stop meeting like this!

"Ve haf to stop meeting like this Hermy-own-ninny!" It was like he was reading my thoughts! "I am going to take you to just outside Hogvarts now OK?" I nodded weakly, this was so pathetic! He ran as fast as he could without causing me any discomfort. It was about ten minutes till we got there and it took Fred about five more to get to us. He was running as fast as he could. I was not in any pain now I was lying down but I knew I would still hurt once I got to the Hospital wing.

"Thank you so much, Mr Krum!" Fred picked me up and he took me to the Hospital wing. He didn't leave my side at all, I think he felt responsible for it all, I mean I know we were on a date together but he couldn't have predicted Malfoy being a dick…

Madame Pomfrey said it was a broken rib and it would only take a day or two for me to recover after she had healed it. I had been in just one day when Viktor Krum came in whilst Fred was asleep.

"Are you OK?" I nodded. "Good, I am only seeing you vhen you are injured at the moment and it is rather stressvul!" I laughed, forgetting the fact that it hurt to laugh at the moment.

"So what have you been doing lately?" This sprung into a whole new conversation about the Triwizard Tournament and his training. We talked for a while before I noticed the rather large scar on his face; I was intrigued so I asked about it.

"Viktor, I don't mean to pry, but what is that scar on your cheek?" His hand reached up to touch it.

"Oh that, it is nothing!" He said, he looked a little nervous. I knew he was lying so I raised my eyebrows and he looked sad.

"Well, you can't tell anyone, but at Durmstag they have this tradition at the start of school, much like your sorting hat, vell, vhat happens is they beat you and whoever withstands the longest gets all the privileges. I von…"

"That's terrible!" I can't believe they did that! "What did your mum and dad say?"

"They didn't know, vell my vather did but my mother did not, she got her education from her mother." I went to speak about it again, but he looked uncomfortable so I changed the subject.

"Viktor, when I was here last time, I couldn't find you, all I could find was a note on your chair, did you leave it?" He blushed and looked away.

"It may haf been!" Fred groaned, he was starting to awaken. "I shall go now…" he turned to leave but I grabbed his hand and pulled in next to his ear and whispered,

"Until next time, Viktor…" then I kissed his scar on his cheek. After that he walked away.
