Chapter 8
After his date with Hermione had ended Viktor felt like he was in a daze. He never wanted the night to end but he had an early practice the next day. As he took off his jacket he felt an envelope in the pocket. "Oh no. I forgot to give the tickets to my next game before I left." he thought to himself. He looked at the clock it was midnight. "It's too late to owl her." he said aloud. "I'll have to send it first thing in the morning." he thought to himself.
As Viktor was drifting off to sleep he thought with a smile " I could see Hermione and myself married some day. I hope that day is sooner rather than later." The next morning he got up to get ready for his teams practice. As he was about to walk out the door and suddenly remembered that he had to owl Hermione. He quickly ran to his office and grabbed a piece of parchment from his desk. As he quickly scribbled a note to Hermione he thought to himself " I hope she can read this." He took the envelope to his eagle owl Penelope. " Penelope I have a job for you." he said to his owl as he took her out of her cage. Penelope gave a quiet hoot to him in reply. After he quickly tied the message to her leg he told her "Now make sure Hermione get this as quickly as you can." He took her outside with him and watched her take off before he left for practice.
After a long day of practicing with his team he came home and laid down on the sofa. Just as he got comfortable Penelope landed on his chest and held out her leg that had a message on it. He had completely forgot about his letter to Hermione earlier that morning. A smile crept across his face as he opened the letter.
The letter read:
Dear Viktor,
I had a wonderful time last night too. Our goodnight kiss last night made me forget a few things too. Thank you for the tickets to your next game. Have invited Harry and Ginny to the game. But I also invited Draco Malfoy as well. I don't know if you ever met him or not. Please let me know where to met me where we will met for dinner. I can't wait to see you again.
Love Hermione.
"She wrote Love at the end of her letter. What does this mean? Does this mean that she loves me or is that how she ends all her letter to everyone?" thought Viktor. He went over to his office to get a piece of parchment to write to Hermione again.
Dear Hermione,
Thank you for writing back to me so soon. We will meet for dinner after the game. Just wait for me outside the locker room and we can leave for dinner. Who is Draco Malfoy? His name sounds familiar. It as been a long day. I will see you on Saturday after the game. I am looking forward to seeing you.
Love Viktor.
Viktor then walked over the Penelope's cage. Sorry to wake you Penelope but I need you to take another message to Hermione. Penelope slowly opened her eyes and stretched her wings. After He saw Penelope take off Viktor went get something for dinner. "Today was only Saturday. It's going to be a whole week until I see my Hermione . I don't think I can wait that long." he thought to himself with a sigh.
