Chapter 13

Ginny was sitting out in the courtyard feeding the birds some bread while thinking. She loved Harry, always had. But now it was just a brotherly type. She kept thinking back to the Durmstrang boy at the ball.

She had talked to Hermione about it to see maybe if she could ask Viktor. Though Hermione already knew. Ginny just couldn't get over the fact that a man, yes man and not boy, was interested in her.

Letting out another sigh she opened her eyes, and was welcomed with the sight, of said man walking towards her. Ginny turned her head to the side, pretending like she did not see him.

"Umm, excuse me. May I sit vith you?" a deep voice asked. Turning her head to face him, she nodded her head slowly.

Ginny scooted over on the small bench to give the larger body more room to sit. She wasn't sure what to say, so she decided to wait and let him talk first.

"My name is Sasha. Friend of Viktor. You are Ginny?" He spoke softly. Sasha kept fidgeting from being nervous. He did not want to be turned down.

"Oh, umm yes. So, uhh, how long have you and Viktor been friends?" she asked. This had to be one of the most awkward moments of her life.

"We have been friends since baby. We are cousins." Sasha said, looking down at her with a smile. "We were trouble makers for our mothers."

Ginny gave him a small smile in return, and laughed at what he said. Maybe this wont be to awkward. "Tell me more of you two, and your trouble making youth."

Sasha smile brightly and began telling her stories. He was happy that he could talk with her. Even if it was embarrassing stories of him as a child.

Hermione and Viktor was sitting in the back of the library. It was a very quite day, since it was Saturday everyone was spending time outdoors. The shared a love seat hidden in the shadows. Just in case anyone were to see them, they would not be able to see too much what was going on.

Viktor moved his hand to her rear, and gave a squeeze as he brought her hips against his. Hermione gave out a small moan, and moved her and to his stomach bringing her hands underneath his shirt. Last night they both had decided to be more intimate. Explore one another's bodies. Viktor told her they would not make love. Until she was certain she was ready. Hermione agreed, she knew she could not lie to him. He could tell when she un certain. Though, she was happy with the arrangements, and she could tell Viktor was as well.

Hermione lifted his shirt up while dragging her hands up to his chest. Then she slowly brought her hands down, tracing his muscles, She like looking at his abs, the well defined 6 pack, and his pectorals how hard, they were. Her hand traced the hair line from his belly button to the waist line of his pants. Hermione hooked one finger under, and lowered his pants a little.

Viktor looked down at his little minx. He could not believe that his Hermione, sweet, smart, bookworm(that he loved) was so passionate. This was the sweetest torture a man could ask for. He loved the feeling of her soft, small hands traveling his body. Viktor was lost in the sea of passion. He felt her hands on his chest, and out lining his muscles. Giving a small smirk, he looked down at her, and noticed her face was a look of aw, watching her hand travel.

Viktor, never cared what girls thought of his body. He always stayed in shape for Quiditch. Though now he decided all those work outs were worth it, to see the look in Hermione's eyes.

Viktor broke out of his small trance, when he felt her lowering his pants. He moved his hands from her, and grabbed a hold of her hands. Viktor knew he was slightly larger than an average man, he didn't want her to worry to much about that.

"Luff, no." his voice came out hoarsely. As much as he was dying to feel her hands on him, down there. He just couldn't. They were in a library. When they got to that point the wanted to be in the bedroom, where they would not have to worry about prying eyes.

Hermione let out a small huff, and relaxed her body against his. Taking a few breathes, Hermione sat up straight again, and gave him a kiss. "I think its almost time to go to the Quiditch pitch. Harry and the others should be waiting for you." His face lit up at the sounds of Quiditch. Next to his love of Hermione, was Quiditch. Since Hermione, Quiditch became third in his life. First was Hermione, then school.

Hermione stood up, so Viktor could re-arrange his clothing, and look more presentable. She did the same to herself. Viktor took a few deep breathes, and tried to will his slight problem away. When he was ready, he grabbed Hermione's hands and they left to the field.

Today Viktor was going to teach Harry the Wronsky Feint. Hermione was only slightly freaking out. She seen how other players went face first into the ground. She didn't want to see Harry or Viktor get hurt. Viktor, used his wand, and Accio his broom, with in a minute it was before him.

He looked to Harry and Ginny, with Sasha standing beside her, whispering in her ear making her laugh. Viktor also noticed The twin red head boys.

"The twins are here to just practice flying around. Ginny was also helping me dodge." Harry said to Viktor, when he looked to other people at the field.

Viktor nodded his head. "Get in the air, practice stopping quickly." He instructed Harry.

He kissed Hermione and walked up to Sasha. He nodded his head to Ginny in greeting, then turned to Sasha. "Get broom, you vill be helping."

Sasha groaned, and bowed to Ginny, giving her a kiss on the hand. He was about to turn to run to the ship, but Ginny stopped him. "Borrow mine," she handed him her broom.

Sasha gave her a smile then turned to face Viktor. Both got on the brooms and went up to join Harry.

"You told Mama about Ginny." Sasha said to Viktor knowingly.

"I mentioned to my mother. She must have said so to Aunt. Not my fault." Viktor replied with a smile. He knew his aunt would bug her son for many details.

Sasha knocked into him, and Viktor shoved back. Then they started teaching Harry.

"So, are you and Sasha going to date?"

Ginny just flushed a little, and replied with a meek maybe. Hermione laughed, and hugged her friend. "You two should. Both of you look good together."

"Did you know, that Sasha and Viktor are cousins?" Ginny asked Hermione.

"No, I didn't, they do have the same eyes. Also now that you said that, I noticed they have the same type of confidence and air about them." Hermione said, gazing in the air at the said men.

"Yea, Sasha told me when he came up to talk to me. He told me stories of when he was a boy and the trouble he would get into with Viktor." Ginny's eyes lit up with laughter. "You should ask Viktor about it. It was quit funny."

Hermione and Ginny shared a look then let out a giggle. They turned their focus back on the boys. As soon as they looked, they saw Harry diving face down, both girls clutched each other hands, anticipating the crash. Harry got closer to the ground, and the girls shut their eyes, not wanting to see.

When they didn't hear anything, both girls opened their eyes and looked to see Viktor and Sasha, giving Harry a high five and a pat (looked more of a smack in their opinion) on the back. Ginny and Hermione stood up cheering.

Viktor flew down towards the girls, and he gave Ginny a wink, then swooped Hermione and was up in the air.

"AAHH!" Hermione screamed. She really hated flying. She clutched on to Viktor tighter and fastened her eyes closed.

"Viktor put me back on the ground this instant." Hermione's voice shook. Viktor stopped flying and put one arm around Hermione, while the other held on to the broom.

"You are afraid." He didn't say it as if asking. Viktor's face held a small frown. He lowered his broom to the ground, so she could get off.

"Luff, open eyes. You can get off." He whispered against her ear.

Hermione quickly jumped out of his arms, and landed on the ground. Viktor looked and could see her body shaking. He got of his broom and walked over to her. He wrapped his arms around her from behind and just held her.

"Sorry, did not know, you were so afraid of broom." He moved one arm around her waist, and rocked softly back and forth. Hermione calmed down, and turned in his arms to face him.

"It's okay. Like you said, you didn't know. Don't worry I will be fine." Hermione said. She gave him a re-assuring smile kissed him on the cheek.

Viktor decided he had enough time out doors, and wanted to be alone with Hermione in the privacy of his room.

He spoke in rapid Bulgarian to Sasha to take care of his broom. Viktor lifted Hermione into his arms, and set off for the ship.
