Sorry for the late update! Hope you enjoy!
Chapter 7:
Hermione POV:
Last night was amazing, I don't quite know where we stand though, and I mean we technically are dating but I don't know if he is my boyfriend or not. I think I'll have to ask him, I have made my way down to the library and it's about six and I have a whole hour to kill before breakfast is served. I sit down and after about half an hour I hear someone creeping up behind me, I get my wand out but before I can do anything I get a big sloppy kiss on the cheek.
"Oh good morning Viktor, did you sleep well?"
"It vas OK, I am wondering vhat you are reading."
"Oh it's my favourite book, Peter Rabbit, by Beatrix Potter!"
"Ah I have heard of it, I have never read it though."
"Oh, well it's a children's book but I love all the illustrations and the way she writes. Did you need something; I thought it a bit odd that you are up so early."
"Well I voke up this morning and I couldn't get back to sleep. I vas vondering if you and I vere friend boy and girly friend? I mean it is fine if ve are not, I vas just vondering."
"Well, do you want to be GIRLfriend and BOYfriend."
"Only if you do, so yes!"
"OK then, well I don't know about you but I am starving, shall we go and eat?"
"Yes, let me help you up." I gave him my hand and he pulled me up off my chair, we started walking towards that hall and I noticed that he still hadn't let go of my hand and then I remembered that as my boyfriend he didn't have to.
When we got to the great hall one or two heads turned to see who it was and then those heads turned to other heads and then those heads looked until everyone in the hall was looking at us. Viktor smiled and waved.
"Hi! Shall ve sit down Hermione?" I nodded, to astounded to speak, and he led me to a seat near Harry and Ron at the Gryffindor Table. Just as I got over my shock Malfoy approached the table.
"So what did you do? Spike his drink with love potion, or just put him under the imperious curse?"
"I did nothing of the sort!"
"Course you did, not only are you a Mudblood but you are ugly and nerdy to boot so it's not like you don't have the brains to do something like that!" Viktor stood up and towered over Malfoy, Ron and Harry stood too.
"Shut. Up. Malfoy!" Harry was angry, but before he could take any action Malfoy was tapped on the shoulder. He turned around to see a group of angry Bulgarians that I recognised as Viktors friends, looking at him. One of them spoke up.
"I think you should take that back."
"Why?"
"Or else."
"Or else what?"
"Or else I'll make you take it back!" He raised his fist but before he could bring it down on Malfoy's face I stood up between him and Malfoy.
"Malfoy go now or else I will move and let them pummel you into the ground and then I will find a way to you come back alive again and kill you myself!" He ran off at a great speed. I turned to the Bulgarians.
"Thank you"
"It's OK, can we sit?" I nodded and I took my place next to Viktor whilst the fierce Bulgarians shoved several seventh years out of the way. After about five minutes of awkward silence I decided enough was enough.
"Thank you, Malfoy is a real pain in the but!"
"It is OK!"
"So any particular reason you vanted to sit with us guys?" Viktor inquired. They put their hands over their open mouths and gasped in mock shock.
"Is it illegal for a group of friends to sit with their friend and his girl?!" He held his hand out to me and I shook it. "I'm Viktors best friend, Jamous. I knew him as a kid, before all of this! I vent vith him to the Bulgaria Quidditch trails that got him on the team!"
"Well, I'm Hermione. I'm glad to meet someone who likes Viktor without the money and the fame, besides me of course, but I suppose you can't really meet yourself, or can you?" Viktor chuckled as did Jamous.
"Are you kidding?! How could I not stay friends vith someone this loaded?!" Viktor laughed but I looked at Jamous disapprovingly. He held his hands up in mock surrender. "It is joke betveen me and Vicky!" I looked at Viktor for some confirmation and he nodded and smiled at me.
"Oh OK! But getting back to the question, what are you lot doing here?"
"Vell truth be told Hermy-own-ninny" I chuckled as I remembered how long it took Viktor to be able to pronounce my name "ve came to kidnap you!" before I knew what was happening Jamous and his friends had picked me up and were carrying me out of the hall and away from a very confused Viktor. We were all laughing by the time we got outside into the entrance courtyard.
"So where are we going?"
"Sorry, that is not how it vorks! The kidnapee does not get to know vhere ve are going!"
"I thought we were there! Or was I too heavy for you? No wait, were you lot too weak to carry me?!" They all looked offended at the last part and they took off their shirts (revealing six packs and a dragon tattoo on their right arms, I wonder if Viktor had one?)
"We'll show you weak!" Next thing I know I was lifted, yet again, onto their shoulders and they ran with me all the way down to the Black Lake. They put me down on the ground, they towered over me, laughing. I, Hermione Granger, 'Brightest witch of her age', was confused, very confused!
"Ve like you Herny-own-ninny, ve really do! It's just you still need to pass the friend test! Do you trust us and want to take the test?" Still confused!
"Um, I guess, if Viktor trusts you then I do, what is this test?"
"Can't tell you that m'fraid!"
"Alrighty then! Get it over with!" They grabbed my arms and legs, then they walked backwards and started to swing me. Finally it dawned on me what was happening, but a little too late, they were already running forwards, still swinging me, they were screaming something almost like a Hakka. Next thing I know I was in the air plummeting headfirst into the Black Lake. Once I had landed with a massive splash I saw the boys watching for my reaction.
I didn't get angry, I just laughed then I grabbed my wand, directed it at each of them and then they all flew into the lake alongside me. Jamous tuned to me.
"You're the first girl to pass that test, not only did you trust us but you laughed about it instead of fussing about your clothes, hair and make-up!" We all laughed.
"Well I feel very privileged!" So we just sat there for a while and my mind started to wonder but my thoughts where stopped very abruptly when all ten of Viktors friends started splashing me.
"VATER FIGHT!" Jamous declared.
"NO FAIR THERE'S TEN OF YOU AND ONLY ONE OF ME!" He just shrugged, so I sat down again in the middle of the circle trying in vain to defend myself against them. After ten minutes of it Viktor came running down to the lake screaming at the top of his lungs.
"NOT THE FRIEND TEST! NOT THE FRIEND TEST! SHOOT! YOU ALREADY DID IT!" Jamous ran up to him.
"CALM! SHE PASSED!" Viktor looked at me and I nodded. He ran into the water and picked me up, whirled me around whilst kissing me. "GET A ROOM!" Jamous had covered his eyes and was shouting abuse at us now!
"Congratulations, you're the first girl my friends actually approve of!"
"How many have there been?"
"None like you I promise!" I rolled my eyes
"I bet that's what you said to the last one!" His face turned serious.
"I do like you Hermione, I like you for your looks, your brain and your attitude and now I like you for like and being liked by my friends!"
"I like you too Viktor!"
"Guys can you save all the sappy crap for later?!" Jamous.
"Vell if you van to leave!" Viktor stated, I turned to him, he wanted to be alone, and I had an idea.
"Oh boys, do you know anything about some weirdoes who followed me and Viktor on our date?!" They all looked down, Jamous mumbled something and they all turned around, dried themselves off and then ran off!
"Better?" Viktor smiled.
"Better!"
