Hermione's POV

It was the wedding day and Hermione was standing before the priest as he said his lines. For once in her life, Hermione was actually not paying attention to anything. All she had in mind was Viktor. Even looking at Jay didn't help her.

Her feelings for Jay had completely gone after coming back from her holiday. She couldn't feel the love and passion anymore.

She turned around for a moment as the priest spoke and spotted Viktor in the back of the room dressed in smart clothing. He looked nice as he always did but was holding the same scowling mien he always held. She hoped that he would smile, it was her day after all.

"Hermione Jane Granger" the priest said. "Do you take Jay Joshua Moore as your husband?"

Hermione turned around and faced Jay. She could feel everyone's eyes rest on her and felt a sudden nervousness and... dread? Why was she feeling dread?

Saying yes would mean that she would be Jay's forever... Saying no would mean no Jay and yes Viktor... If he would take her that is.

She turned around again to find that Viktor was not standing where he had been before. She thought that she had seen the door just shut. Did he leave her during her wedding? How could he?

Hermione felt terrible all of a sudden. He was probably feeling really hurt right now. Crushed was probably the word. He was probably-

"Ms. Granger" The priest urged. "Do you take Jay Joshua Moore as your lawfully wedded husband?"

Jay looked at her eagerly and full of love. He really wanted her but Hermione felt bad because she couldn't return the same love and passion.

She dropped everything that she was holding and could hear a run of gasps. She could see that Jay was in horror as she took her wedding ring off. "I'm sorry Jay" she said. "I can't do this. I'm really sorry Jay. I love you but I can't do this..."

She gave her the ring and felt tears drop from her face.

"Hermione? What are you doing?" Harry and Ron asked her, standing up from their seats.

"Leave her alone, she knows what she's doing!" Ginny said, forcing them back down with her wand.

Ginny gave her a soft smile. "Hermione, do what you think is right, I'll always be on your side no matter what"

Hermione looked back at Jay. "I don't think marriage is for us... Please understand"

She lifted her dress up as she began to run out. She could hear Jay sobbing as she reached the door and shut it behind her to get rid of the hundreds of eyes looking at her. Looking on ahead, she saw Viktor who was slowly taking his tie off, looking like a dead man.

She began to run up to him, tripping and breaking her heels as she did so. She took them off and ran up to him, hugging him from behind with a desperate urge. "Viktor" she said. "Viktor Krum. I couldn't do it... I just couldn't. It didn't feel right. I love you and-"

She felt his lips meet hers and she moaned. This was what she had craved for. This was what she had wanted.

"Hermione" he said, when the kissing stopped. "Vhy do you alvays have to break a heart somehow vhenever you're involved vith love?"

"It's not my fault!" she said. "I'm jut unlucky I guess..."

Viktor smiled and kissed her softly. "You look beautiful even vhen you're crying. Diamonds fall from your cheeks"

Hermione laughed. "That was a bit too sweet. I didn't realize I was crying"

Viktor then leaned forward and slipped something into one of her fingers. "Vill you marry me Hermione?" he whispered into her ears. "Sorry that it vasn't so romantic"

Hermione nodded. "Yes Viktor. Yes"

"Ve vill make this quick. I just vant you to be mine" he said.

Hermione hugged him and kissed his lips softly. "Viktor" she said. "I was always yours"
