Everybody watched as Ron reached for something in his pocket. He suddenly stopped half way making Viktor clench his fists and glare at him furiously.
"What right do you have?" Ron asked him, much to everyone's annoyance. "And what are you doing here? What have you got to do with the... 'Ring' and Hermione?"
They all watched as Viktor punched his face and threw him across the room. "I vould like the ring back, thank you very much," he yelled. He looked like he was going to deliver another blow but Hermione caught his hand with her own and fell over from trying to stop him. He caught her waist just as she was about to hit the ground. "Hermione!" he yelled, frightened though his scowl covered it well. His expression immediately changed from the earlier furious to scared. "Don't stop me next time!" he continued. "I could haff hurt you!"
Hermione smiled weakly as Viktor hugged her. "We only came to get my wedding ring back, not to beat someone up," she muttered.
Viktor hugged her tighter and kissed her cheek. "I'm sorry loff," he whispered. He then kissed her gently on the lips.
"What?!" Ron yelled as he got himself up. He had bruises almost everywhere and his nose was bleeding. "You married that-that... Pumkinhead?!"
Hermione glared at him. Pumkinhead?! she yelled in her mind furiously. "Do you have a problem with my husband?" she asked, gritting her teeth.
"Yes I do!" Ron yelled, as he rolled up his sleeves. He glared at her with immense anger. "How did you end up with him?!" he asked with disgust. "He forced you did he? Yeah that's probably it- Or maybe he bewitched your parents to make them agree! Yeah that must be it- Otherwise you would have been smart enough not to marry him- You would have ended up with someone much nicer- Like me-"
Before Hermione could answer and before he could finish, Viktor had run about to him punched him in the stomach. "Give my vife her vedding ring," he growled. "And shut up you stupid boy,"
"Ron," Ginny and Pansy mumbled nervously.
"Do it mate," Harry muttered quickly, avoiding Ron's eyes the best he could. "Viktor looks like he's going to kill you,"
Hermione looked at everyone in the living room with a tired, worried and guilty expression. They all seemed to be worried about Viktor murdering Ron. None of this would have had happened if she hadn't lost her wedding ring. She muttered to herself not to be too engrossed by a book next time albeit not wanting to.
Fortunately Ron did as he was told to and took her wedding ring out of his pocket. He held it in his hand although it was obvious he wasn't going to let it go yet.
Everybody looked at it in awe.
"Oh my God!" Ginny breathed whilst Pansy Parkinson sighed in the background. "It's beautiful! It looks much better actually seeing it rather than in the pictures!"
Everybody nodded except for Ron, Viktor and Hermione. The Ron and Viktor were glaring at each other whilst Hermione was thinking about what to do.
"Give it?" Viktor said.
"No," Ron told him, trying to keep up with Viktor's scowl and glare although obviously failing.
Hermione sighed, seeing that there was no other way. Why didn't I just do this at the start of this? she asked herself furiously. She quickly whipped her wand out and pointed it at Ron, who hadn't noticed her doing so. "Petrificus Totalus!" she muttered.
His expression suddenly turned blank and he collapsed to the floor not moving after landing.
Viktor knelt down and took the ring out of his hands gently. He then took his wand out and said, "Scourgify,"
The ring that he was holding was now gleaming brightly, diamonds shining like stars. He then looked at Hermione in the eyes and smiled softly. "I putting on for you now like vhat I saying before?"
It seemed to everyone that Ron had been forgotten as Viktor walked up to Hermione. They all watched as he gently grabbed Hermione hand.
Hermione watched him as he leaned forward, mouth next to her ears.
"You look beautiful," he whispered into her ear, making her blush. "I'll put slip it to her nameless finger,"
She looked at him and whispered, "What do you mean nameless finger?"
He leaned back and looked at her curiously. "My culture avoid the true name of powerful entity. Ve call it 'bezimenen prust', nameless finger in English."
He then gently slipped her wedding finger into her 'bezimenen prust', and kissed her lips.
Hermione heard Harry and Neville cough in the background and giggled. Draco was busying himself by looking at something and Ginny, Luna and Pansy were just staring at them, sighing, it was actually quite uncomfortable and annoying.
"Hey, sorry to break the kissing," Ginny muttered after what seemed like a short time which in truth was actually five minutes.
Hermione and Viktor stopped and turned to her. Viktor was obviously not pleased as he was scowling again. "What?" Hermione asked.
Ginny blushed furiously with embarrassment for breaking the two from kissing. "What are we going to do with Ronald here?" she asked rather quietly.
Hermione laughed. "Woops! Forgot all about him!"
"Ve just leave him here," Viktor said. "Affter some adjustments to his memory..." He took his wand out and took some of his memories out.
Everybody watched bits of white come out of his head.
"What did you take out?" Harry and Pansy asked worriedly at the same time.
"Not all... Have you? Please not all!" Pansy continued on worriedly.
Viktor scowled at her. "Unfortunately, no," he told her.
Draco then looked at Viktor and muttered. "To make things better for Pansy, why don't you add some memories that never actually happened? Get rid of some of his stupid memories of stuff to do with her... The bad bits,"
Viktor nodded and took more memories out and added memories in.
"Oh," Neville suddenly said. "Take other stuff out, you know, the stuff that makes him such a 'prick' and all that. I'd be glad if he were nicer to me,"
Viktor nodded and took more memories out and added 'nicer' memories in.
"Jeez..." Ginny mumbled worriedly. "Hopefully nothing bad happens? I hope my mother doesn't realize anything..."
"Hopefully she won't," Luna said all of a sudden.
"We have got another problem," Harry suddenly said.
"What?" Hermione asked, getting really irked with problems.
"The press? And everything," he said. "How are we going to sort that out?"
"Ve'll, meaning myself and Hermione, vill tell them I haff married her," Viktor said. "No point hiding stuff anymore,"
"That's great!" Ginny said. "That'll shut everyone who keeps insisting they've married Hermione. Have you seen what the news has said? I-"
Viktor gave her a scowl, shutting her up.
"Now what?" Neville asked after a moment of silence.
"Well, I've got my ring back..." Hermione said.
"I guess we can all go back to our knitting then?" Draco said, finally looking at everyone. "I need to go anyways... Got some things to attend to,"
Viktor gave him a knowing nod, whilst everyone just stared curiously at him.
Hermione realized why Draco was leaving all of a sudden, remembering their earlier conversation. She smiled at him, wondering who the girl was.
"Yeah, I'm taking Luna out to lunch anyways," Neville mumbled, blushing. "See ya guys,"
He grabbed Luna's hand and Apparated before she could say her 'Goodbyes'.
Draco Malfoy followed suit after a curt nod.
"I am thinking it vill be okay for me to leaff vith Hermione now?" Viktor asked, now holding her hand with his huge ones.
Harry, Ginny and Pansy all nodded frantically all thinking of the same thing after seeing Ron getting beat up by Viktor, 'Don't piss off Viktor Krum'.
Viktor smiled at them. "Goodbye then,"
Hermione let go of his hand for a moment and ran over to Ginny and Harry and gave them both a hug. "Thank you guys so much for your help and everything," she said. "I'm going to write to Neville, Luna and Dra-Malfoy to thank them..."
"Why Malfoy?" Harry asked disgusted.
"He helped I guess," Hermione said, avoiding eye contact with him. She then turned to Pansy Parkinson. "I guess I'll have to thank you too since you did kind of help," she told her.
"Mhhmmmh," Pansy mumbled, looking quite torn between how to react to Hermione. "Thanks," she suddenly said. "Granger... Or shall I call you, Mrs. Krum?"
She smiled at Hermione. "I'll be nicer to you now I guess- Just don't tell Draco anything- He might tell my father and mother. And thanks for changing Ronald a bit-" Se turned to Viktor. "And thanks to Krum too, you changed him... Hopefully,"
Viktor gave her a scowling nod and Hermione smiled at her. "I won't tell," she said. Her smile was for two things. One was for telling Pansy that she was going to keep it and the second was the irony of her telling her not to tell Draco incase he told her parents. Draco Malfoy had told her the same thing.
"See you guys," Hermione said, holding onto Viktor's hand again.
He then Apparated the two.
Back home
He had brought Hermione and himself back home and immediately hugged her. "I'm glad ve haff your vedding ring back," he told her.
Hermione nodded into his broad chest. "Yeah..." she said, sighing. "So much trouble for my one mistake... I'm so sorry... Everything was so apprehensive for a moment after I lost it... I caused everyone so much worry..."
Viktor gave her a small smile. "Shut up," he told her whilst smiling. "At least a lot of good vas made from your one mistake,"
"Like what?" She asked him, curiously.
"Ve haff made Veasley nicer by adjusting memories," he said.
Hermione smiled. "True,"
"Also, young Malfoy is a better boy, also Parkinson girl," he said. "Albeit haffing to be horrid to you for the sake of his and her parents beliefs,"
Hermione chuckled. "I guess..."
She then looked up at Viktor. "Yeah, you're right. A lot of good has been made from my one mistake,"
Viktor suddenly carried her bridal style and walked over to their sofa and sat himself down with Hermione on his muscular lap. "One problem though," he suddenly said, his dark eyes turning into a strange colour, it happened whenever he was worried.
"What?" Hermione asked frowning. Screw my mistake she told herself angrily as she looked at Viktor. He looked extremely upset.
He suddenly smiled at her mischievously and lay her down, him prone to her. "You haff become more beautiful!" he told her kissing her all over her cheek. "How can you torture me like this vith your beauty?" he asked, clutching onto where his heart was with faked pain.
Hermione started to giggle. "Mr. Krum!" she said through her giggles as she was rained with kissed all over her neck. "You had me really worried for a second!"
She tried to scowl at him only to burst out laughing. "Get off!" she yelled at him, still laughing.
Viktor brought her back onto his lap again and faked a saddened look. "I am sorry, loff," he said. He then placed her onto the sofa on her own and went onto his knees on the floor. "Is there anything I can do to you to make you smile again?" he asked.
Hermione laughed even more. "Jeez! Viktor!" she laughed. "I hate you, you know that?" she said as she grabbed his face with her two small hands.
He placed his two big hands on her rosy cheeks. "I know you loff me," he said. "I loff you very much too,"
He then kissed her.
