Prompt: (46) Ball.
Hermione thanked him for the millionth time as he walked her back to the Gryffindor common room. She'd had a brilliant time at the Yule Ball, and the only thing that ruined it was her argument with Ron. 'Fraternizing with the enemy,' indeed! How dare he accuse her of that, and especially when he'd fawned all over Viktor himself until tonight. She shook all thoughts of Ron out of her head and focused on the boy in front of her.
"Well, we're here; thank you so much for walking me back."
"The pleasure vas all mine, Hermy-own-ninny; I had a vonderful time."
'I'll have to teach him how to say my name properly, but I'm too tired now,' she thought to herself. Before Hermione could reply, Viktor brought his lips to hers and kissed her softly on the lips. He pulled away to gauge her reaction and was encouraged by her smile, so he kissed her again. The second kiss lasted longer than the first and was much more intense. He pulled away once more, leaving her gasping for breath and floating on cloud nine. He smiled warmly at her.
"Goodnight."
"Goodnight, Viktor," she whispered back before heading into the common room; feeling as light as a feather, she headed up to bed.
