WARNING MATURE CONTENT AT THE END

Hermione was looking at herself in front of her mirror, she was trying to give herself a pep talk. She had spent the last hour trying on different outfits. She could not decide on one, she would pick out a dress that she thought would look good and then look at herself in the mirror and decide it was ugly. She was never one caring about her clothes, hell she was in high in the 90s. Style wasn't really a thing. She always laughed when she saw picture of her and the boys together. She wore a tank top of a long sleeve shirt, how on earth did anyone let her do that? She did like her Yule Ball dress; it was a lovely shade of pink. She'll never forget all the surprised looks she got wearing that dress and who she was attending the Ball with. She could still remember the look in Draco's eyes, they showed for the first time ever to her not hate or disgust but envy. For one moment she was not a mudblood to him, she was just a girl in a pretty dress.

Hermione removed a green dress from her closet, it was pretty but not something she thought looked great on her, sighing in defeat she decided she would wear this dress. There true was nothing else and she doubted she could get away wearing her pajamas. She grabbed her wild hair and placed it in a topknot and slipped on some black flats. She turned to face Jareth who was lying in the bathtub.

"Alright how do I look?"

She got a very big yawn response for her question. She knew he was tired of hearing her thoughts.

"Yeah thanks for the vote of confidence…I should make you wear a festive outfit now. Hmm how about a nice little Santa helper costume?"

Hermione flashed him her wand causing Jareth to run out of the bathroom.

"Yeah that's what I thought you smart ass!"

Hermione turned one last time to look in the mirror.

"Well looking like this everyone will come to an assumption that she is heartbroken over Ron's engagement, great."

Hermione walked downstairs to retrieve Jareth, who no doubt was hiding underneath the couch again.

"Jareth come on, I am not going to make you wear a costume! Come on you know I'm not lying."

She watched Jareth crawl out from under the couch, he bright yellow eyes searching hers, she knew he was trying to see if she was lying. She cleared her mind to reassure him. But he still showed hesitation.

"Alright I guess I will go without you and you won't get to see Charlie."

With just the mention of his name Jareth ears perked straight up and she knew she had him. With a warning growl he walked over to her. He was giving her sass.

"Oh don't even start, you would've looked cute."

Hermione picked him up and grabbed a handful of floo and walked into her fireplace and she was gone. In the next moment she felt hands on her. She opened her eyes and saw a familiar color of eyes staring at her. It was Ginny. She was grinning ear to ear.

"Hermione! Thank Merlin you are here! I was dying with all these boys!"

Hermione let Ginny lead her out of the fireplace and into the sitting room where she saw Harry, Arthur, Percy, George and Bill Weasley sitting with Fleur close to his side as always. They all said their greetings to her and resumed their conversation. From the sound of it; it was a mix of quidditch and Auror talk.

"Hermione don't take this the wrong way but what are you wearing? Are you dressing for a teaching job?"

Hermione glared at her friend, of course Ginny would point the out the dress.

"Sorry Ginny kinda unsure what to wear to a Christmas Party and also the engagement of my ex to someone else. Should I have come dressed up in just a Christmas bow?"

Ginny smiled at her friend's jabs.

"Don't worry I have something just for you."

Hermione didn't want Ginny to dress her up, she wasn't here to impress anybody everyone here was family. She wasn't trying to sleep with anybody here.

"Ginny no I don't need to, we're all family, plus I need to look after Jareth can't leave him alone with all these people he's not used to."

Ginny frowned at her friend.

"Hermione don't make excuses, come on you deserved to be dressed up, I need something to do, plus Charlie can look after the Wampus cat."

Hermione glared at her friend, she really didn't want to have make up caked on her face or be forced to sit in a tight dress and receive unwanted attention. Hermione was about to rebut but she was cut off by another guest coming in. It was Charlie. The whole room greeted him warmly and he made his was straight over to her, to Jareth.

"Hi Hermione it's great to see you."

Charlie leaned in and kissed her cheek. She was happy to see Charlie but mad as well, now she would be forced to let Jareth spend time with Charlie and she would have no other choice than go with Ginny.

"How has Jareth been?"

She watched his attention turn toward the wild animal in her arms. Jareth was growling at Charlie; she knew it was his way of saying hello. Closet he would get to purring.

"Oh he's fine he likes the new elk meat you are sending him."

"Great I'm glad, I've missed this little guy."

She sighed and looked down, finally allowing her grip on him to loosen and watched him jump into Charlie's open arms. Traitor she thought. Giving Ginny the opportunity to drag Hermione away upstairs to play Barbie with her.

"Come on Hermione we don't have much time."

Hermione allowed Ginny to pull her upstairs she had no defense for getting out of it now, she didn't have kids, didn't have any man to keep company.

"I have the perfect outfit for you!"

Hermione couldn't help but groan at the thought of the too tight dress Ginny was going to make her wear.

Viktor is standing outside looking at a house that looked like it could fall over with slamming a door. It was as if two houses were stacked on top of an old barn. He could sense the strong magic surrounding the house and the area. It would take a lot of power to get past the ward and to even destroy this house. Viktor knew he was stalling to go in, he wasn't sure what this invitation was for, possible engagement party, a duel? Viktor had no idea he just knew he had to come to face whatever it was. He made sure he was dressed for a celebration or a duel, wearing his long black frock coat, with a matching black shirt and pants. He looked at the red roses he had in his right hand for the Mrs. Weasley, hopefully all went well.

He walked up closer to the house taking one deep breath he looked to the sky to say a silent prayer to Merlin to help him when he noticed a bolt of white cross the sky, he smiled, Icarus was with him, he wondered where the owl had been since he cut his face a week ago. Icarus knew he would most likely force him to go inside. Viktor laughed; the owl was more of a nagging parent than anything else. Viktor turned his eyes back on the door and was about to knock when the door flung wide open.

"VIKTOR KRUM?"

Standing in the doorway was a short plump woman with bright red hair and a motherly kind face. Viktor knew right away this was Mrs. Weasley.

"Da Viktor Krum."

Viktor was going to give her the flowers but he was crushed by what felt like a bear grasping him.

"Oh I am so glad you could make it!"

She finally released him with one last squeeze and Viktor had to catch his breath. No one had hugged him like that in a long time.

"Please come in Viktor before the cold gets your toes!"

Viktor had no idea what that meant, but lifted his hand to give her the roses.

"Rozes for you."

Viktor flinched he thought she was going to crush him with another hug, but she just gave him the warmest smiled.

"Oh how lovely!"

She ushered him in and slammed the door shut behind him. She led him into the sitting room where a sea of orange hair was sitting around talking.

"Look everyone Viktor is here!"

The matriarch shouted to her family who all stopped their conversations like soldiers and all greeted him. Viktor nodded his head to them.

"Come Viktor and help me put these in a vase."

Viktor followed Mrs. Weasley into the kitchen and was greeted by 4 women. One he knew instantly it was Fleur.

"Ello, Vick-tor."

Viktor kissed her cheeks and greeted her with a warm smile. He turned his attention to a short brunette.

"Hello I am Audrey Percy's wife."

Viktor kissed her cheeks as well and made his way over to the dinning table where two women were setting out the plates.

"Hi I'm Angelina, married to Fred the loud one."

Viktor laughed at her jab, she was a beautiful tall women. He kissed her cheeks and looked at the finally woman. He could tell she had no idea who he was, she was a muggle. She was a short woman will short blonde hair.

"Hi I'm Alihbe, Ali for short."

Viktor greeted her the same as he had done with all the women.

"Viktor Krum, nice meet you."

"Viktor come help me please." Mrs. Weasley chimed in.

Viktor removed his frock coat placing it on an empty chair and went to help her.

Hermione was looking at herself in the vanity mirror, her hair no longer was in a topknot. No Ginny had used almost two bottles of Sleekeazy bottles. Her hair was tamed into long flowing loose curls, with his curls managed she didn't realize how long her hair had gotten. She looked like Julia Roberts after she had a makeover in that movie her mother loved and made her watch all the time, Pretty Woman. Unlike that movie character Hermione was not a prostitute.

"I know it looks good doesn't it?"

Hermione turned her view in the mirror to the red head standing behind her grinning at her work. Hermione rolled her eyes at her question.

"You look hot, no you look seductress."

Ginny finished teasing Hermione's hair making sure she didn't miss any crazy hair.

"Oh yeah Gin that's what I want to look like on Christmas with my family."

She heard Ginny huff at her response.

"You know Hermione you will thank me for all of this one day."

Ginny smoother over the hair for a finishing touch.

"Now I am going to go downstairs get you a glass of wine to help you relax a little and leave you to get changed, I left the dress on the bed for you."

Hermione nodded and watched one of her closet friends leave her. She returned her gaze to her reflection, she had to admit she did look hot, the makeup Ginny used removed any of her flaws or red blemishes. Even her skin tone, painted her lips a deep blood red and her eyeshadow was nice shimmering gold. She looked like she was going to go tempt someone's husband. She felt like there was going to be some random person Ginny was going to make her go out after this to get laid or something. Hell, Ginny used an enchanted razor and basically shave her whole body.

Hermione went to go look at the dress Ginny had laid out for her; it was a long black velvet sleeve dress that reached down to her ankles. It looked modest enough. Hermione slipped the dress on and looked at herself in the mirror, there was a thigh high slip to the dress that showed just enough leg to leave some to the imagination. The dress reached up to her collarbone, surprisingly the dress hugged her perfectly showing over her womanly curves thanks to the built-in gold chain belt. Making it seems like she had more hips. She felt something cold touch her shoulder blades and turned around to get a better look at the back of dress when she realized it was an open back dress down to the middle of her back and the shiver she felt was from a long gold chain. The chain started just above her tailbone and rose over her spine into a y-shape to each shoulder. It was beautiful but over the top for a family Christmas dinner.

"Oh my God you look amazing, I think I want to marry you!"

Hermione looked at Ginny standing in the door holding a glass of red wine.

"Ginny this is too much… I shouldn't wear this it'll bring too much attention to myself for Ron's occasion."

Ginny waved off her friend handing her the glass.

"Oh Hermione stop, you look amazing, plus the rest of the girls downstairs are wearing nice dresses as well, Alihbe is wearing this dark green dress, and Fleur is wearing some French dress that is light green with some fairy design on it, Angelina is wearing a dark purple dress and looks great as always."

Hermione took mocked her friend and took a greedy sip of her wine, it was sweet like black cherry.

"Plus I am going to put on my Christmas dress and knock all you girls away."

Hermione laughed at her friend and turned her attention back to the dress. It was a beautiful, and it did fit her perfectly. This would be a great dress to wear to a ball.

"Alright what do you think?"

Hermione looked at Ginny, she was wearing a short red dress with black heels, the dress looked more like a dress slip, something you wear under a dress not just for an outfit.

"Ginny where's the rest of it?"

Hermione dodged a pillow thrown at her head.

"Oh shut up mum, this dress covers everything perfectly plus with this outfit I'll have all eyes on me and when I mean all eyes I mean Harry the only wizard I'm not related to down there."

Hermione couldn't hold in her laughter, the only man down there not related to her was Harry and the only man down there Hermione would draw attention to was her ex who was proposing to another girl with her ring. The moment was too much for either of them and it took them a couple minutes to compose themselves.

"Alright Hermione let's go dinner is almost ready, time to make our entrance.

Viktor had somehow found himself sitting in between two Weasley's on the couch. To his left was a man named Fred, and to his right was named Percy. Both were arguing over each-others work. Viktor desperately wanted to leave, but there was no escape, he simply just nodded along to each sides argument. He would much rather have someone duel him than listen to this.

"Are you Viktor Krum?"

Viktor turned around to see another red hair Weasley staring at him. He was holding some kind of wild cat in his arms.

"Da, Viktor Krum."

Viktor quickly moved up from the couch, this distraction was the perfect excuse.

"Hi I'm Charlie, the second oldest."

Viktor shook Charlie's waiting hand out for him.

"I am the one who brought the Dragons during the Triwizard tournament."

Viktor couldn't help but frown, remembering the dragon test was something he tried to forget numerous times. How stupid it was to let kids battle a dragon.

"Oh yeah sorry about that, it wasn't that much fun for you as it was for me."

Charlie laughed at the frowning Bulgarian in front of him.

"Vhat iz that?"

Viktor couldn't help but staring at the wild creature in Charlie's arms. It looked like a small mountain lion but had piercing bright yellow eyes and those eyes weren't leaving his.

"Oh sorry, this is Jareth a Wampus cat suffering from dwarfism. I rescued him; he is a wild animal but is settling nicely with human interactions."

A Wampus cat, wasn't that a magical creature in North America Viktor thought.

"Do you want to hold him?"

Viktor looked back up to Charlie with a surprised look.

"Don't worry, I'm sure a strong wizard like you could handle a dwarf young pup Wampus."

Viktor knew he was goading him on, but it worked he couldn't refuse now.

"Da."

Viktor opened his arms and allowed Charlie to pass the creature over to him. The bright yellow eyes never leaving his face.

"Be careful Viktor they say Wampus cats have the ability with their eyes to cause hypnosis and Legilimency."

Charlies patted him on the back leaving him with a sly grin with the cat in his arms. Viktor looked back at the animal in his arms.

"Be nize, I be nize."

The cat growled deeply causing Viktor to feel the vibrations on his arms. He understood the response, the cat was saying "yeah no shit." Viktor smiled and scratched the cats ear.

Hermione made her way downstairs, to see almost everyone sitting exactly how they left them. Ron and Harry were in some deep conversation about Quidditch, Fred and Percy were arguing about who's career was more important. Arthur and Bill were talking by the fireplace no doubt about Arthur's job and the ministry and any dangerous jobs Bill had with his curse breaking adventures. Hermione watched Ginny walked over to Harry sitting right on his lap causing the conversation to stop and drawing Harry's attention to his wife's dress. She couldn't help but laugh. She scanned the room, she was looking for Charlie who had her Jareth, she saw him standing in the kitchen doorway sipping a glass of whiskey talking to Molly. He was looking at her grinning, like he did something mischievous, she frowned at him when she realized he wasn't hold Jareth anymore. She scanned the room quickly again stressed; she was hoping Jareth wasn't causing any trouble. She sighed in relief when she saw him, he was almost asleep.

She looked up to see who was holding him and she felt her soul leave her body immediately because of who was holding him. Her eyes met those black pools staring right at her. It was Viktor Krum. Hermione felt like she was going to faint or throw up, possibly both. She look frantically at Ginny and back to Charlie, both were just smiling at her in a knowing way. Those bastards they knew he was going to be here! This is why the tag teamed her and made she change and took Jareth from her. She couldn't help but feel a little betrayed by her friends. Here was the man standing across the room who she last saw months ago. The very man she told she wouldn't be with him until she found herself and he found his true self, the man that made her cry, the man she made cry. She needed to leave.

She scanned an exit plan, she could just back through the fireplace with floo or run upstairs and lock herself in Ginny's room. But she couldn't' because he had Jareth and she couldn't leave him. She retuned her gaze to his eyes and knew she would go to him, there you flashing fever form those eyes. She gathered herself and walked over to him.

"Hi, I am surprised you are here. I didn't expect this."

She quickly looked him over, damn he looked great, he was wearing all black, she could just see the muscles underneath his shirt. She looked back into his eyes, waiting for him to responded, but nothing came.

"Viktor?"

Viktor couldn't believe what he was seeing. Hermione was here, he almost fell to his knees when he saw her. She was wearing a beautiful black velvet dress. He had to tear his eyes away for the slip in her dress showing off her beautiful leg. She looked breathtaking, he had no words, all he wanted to do was grip her tightly and press himself against her chest feeling her heartbeat. He wanted to run his fingertips down her back-causing goosebumps to rise, he wanted her to be outbreath because of him, to kiss her neck while running his fingers through her soft hair. She looked like a beautiful woman in a painting. Her lips were a deep red color and he wanted to kiss her until the color was worn off. To feel her beneath him with those big brown eyes would be enough to change him.

"Viktor?"

Someone calling his name snapped him out of his thoughts and he realized it was Hermione who had said his name. Shit he was too busy in his thoughts to hear what she had asked him.

"Her-mi-one, you look Beau-ti-ful."

He saw the reaction on her face, she was surprised, this was the clearest he had every pronounced her name before. He smiled down at her proud of himself.

"Thank you, you don't look too bad yourself, I see you met my Jareth."

Viktor looked down at the cat in his arms, he instinctually handed her back Jareth, the cat graceful jumped out of his arms and into her awaiting embrace, he watched her hug the animal. Jareth was rubbing himself against her neck and Viktor knew the cat was showing off, stating that Hermione was his.

"Good Vampus."

Viktor couldn't help but look back over her, he wanted to reach out and touch her, to feel the softness of her skin.

"Yes he's a little devil sometimes but I love him. Oh Viktor what happened to your face?"

Viktor smiled, he thought the wound had healed no one else asked about it, but she noticed, she noticed it.

"Icarus, fine, no hurt now."

She lifted her hand he felt her fingertips run over the claw marks and he couldn't help but close his eyes and lean into her hand.

"Well he did get you good, I glad you are okay, I hope he's fine as well."

Viktor tilted his head in response, he didn't want her hand to leave it felt a cooling tingle to his skin. But she finally did remove it placing it back on Jareth.

"Why are you here Viktor?"

She didn't know he would be here? Is that why she didn't smile when she saw him, would she have come if she knew?

"Vas invited."

She was about to question him when Molly came into the sitting room yelling that dinner was ready. They couldn't finish their conversation it would have to wait. He watched her quickly walk towards the kitchen talking quickly and quietly into her friends ear a red headed girl her recognized. She looked mad; Viktor knew now she didn't want him here. He silently followed lastly the rest of the group into the kitchen.

"Ginny what the fuck?"

Hermione whispered angerly at her friend.

"Hermione calm down we all knew he would be here, you two need to talk."

Hermione had to use all her strength not to shout at her friend.

"Ginny you don't understand."

"Hermione enough be an adult and talk to him."

Ginny left her with those words to go and sit at the table across from Harry, she tried to regain her composer, but it was cracking. Hermione needed some error and feigned and excuse to Molly that she needed to feed Jareth first before she could sit down. Once outside she set Jareth on the ground and found the deer meet Charlie had left out and gave him the leg of the deer.

"Merry Christmas Jareth."

She scratched his chin and left him to eat outside with the leg, that would keep him busy for almost an hour. Plus, he could run around out here and be free for a little bit. She counted until 10 straightening her dress out and walked back into the kitchen. Everyone was already seated and the only chair left was across from Viktor, she knew this was on purpose, she sighed inwardly and walked quickly to her seat.

Molly was walking around with food filling everyone's plates, she had stuffed Hermione with a casserole, some ham and some Yorkshire pudding. She began to eat hoping with stuffing her mouth she wouldn't have to talk very much.

"Viktor are you ready for you match next Wednesday against Egypt and their rising star Seeker Rawya Zaghloul?

Hermione turned her head to see who was asking the question and saw a wide eyes Arthur.

"Da vill be good game, hope to vin this time."

The table all seemed to agree with him nodding their heads in agreement.

"You vill all go no?"

Hermione turned her attention to the man sitting across from her, he was looking at Arthur.

"Uh well I wish we could but tickets weren't easy to come by first Cup since the war so they were gone fast."

She could hear some of the shame in Arthur's response, she knew the tickets were too expensive for him.

"No pay, vill come as uh guests."

She could see Arthur face turn an even brighter shade of red of embarrassment.

"Oh no Viktor we couldn't that is too much really."

Mr. Weasley did not like taking out free handouts, he felt uncomfortable asking for anything he couldn't do himself.

"No, insist, vantz to go, I vill have tick-ets for all, no vorries, pleaz a gift for having me for dinner."

She knew Viktor wouldn't allow them to refuse, and she could see Arthur was defeated. Viktor had made it a gift instead of something free. Arthur couldn't refuse a gift.

"Thank you, Viktor that is very kind."

Mrs. Weasley cooed.

"Any one here can haz tick-ets, my honor az giftz."

Hermione couldn't help but smile at him, he was always kind not leaving anyone out, he returned her smile with a quick wink. She had to look back down at her plate to hide her blushing cheeks. The rest of the dinner topics were again the Ministry and about Quidditch, Viktor giving his opinion when asked. Hermione was grateful no one was asking her anything. She just wanted to eat her food and shrink into her chair.

"Everyone I have an announcement I'd like to make with all my friends and family here tonight."

The groups attention all turned to look at Ron who was standing up.

"As you know everyone at this table means so much to me, in teaching me a lesson in life and in family. I want to thank my Mum and Dad for being the best parents any one could hope for. For giving me love and discipline, to my brothers for showing me right and wrong. To my sister for giving me an understanding of protection and responsibility. To Harry my best mate since we met, thank you for always being by my side, to Hermione the women who put up with checking my homework, to saving mine and Harry's ass too many times to count and for being the person to truly show me what I needed to be in as a man. Finally to Alihbe for showing me what a future can look like with."

Hermione watched Ron she could see his ear turning red, never liking to talking about his emotions with his family. She watched him hold Ali's hand and drop down to a knee.

"Ali I would love to have a future with you, will you marry me?"

There was a moment of silence, everyone waiting to hear the answer. Ali jumped into Ron causing him to fall over.

"YES! OF COURSE!"

She felt herself let out the breath she was holding in, everyone stood up cheering and raising their glasses in celebration. Hermione joined in with the congregations, this was definitely better than when he tried to propose to her. She felt a nudge on her arm and saw Fred standing by her.

"Could've been you Mione.'

She rolled his eyes at his jab hitting his arm. He put his hands in the air feigning and apology and returned to his wife. With the celebration of the engagement turning towards the sitting room to open a new bottle of fire whiskey Hermione quietly snuck out to the back of the kitchen door to check on Jareth, well that was going to be her excuse if anyone asked her. But nobody noticed her leaving, if they did nobody stopped her.

She walked outside and felt the cold air against her cheeks, thankful the dress was long giving her some sort of warmth. She looked for Jareth but only found a half-eaten leg bone. She looked out towards the darkness into the fields. She wasn't worried she couldn't see him, she knew he was safe her and knew he would come back to her if she called out to him.

"Vhy no celly-brate-ing."

Hermione jumped in surprise, she turned to see Viktor standing behind her holding two glass of whiskey.

"Oh I wanted to check on Jareth."

She walked over to a bench and sat down. Viktor soon joined her, handing her a glass.

"Thank you."

She sit a sip, whiskey was never her favorite. She wrapped her open hand around her waist, it was cold out. She was making it a point to look straight ahead. She couldn't look into his eyes. The sat in silence for a couple of minutes sipping their whiskey and looking out at the pitch-black night sky. She felt herself give an involuntary shiver, and soon felt a jacket being placed over her shoulders. She looked over to Viktor now only wearing his long sleeve shirt. She could see the outline of his chest through his shirt and wondered what it would feel like to run her fingers over his chest.

"Better?"

She was shook her head to get those thoughts out of her mind.

"Oh yes thank you, I hope you aren't cold though?"

He smiled at her.

"No, this like summer for me."

She knew he was lying to make her feel better. She turned herself back to the night sky, content on the comfortable silence, but it appears he did not share that thought with her.

"Her-mionee, vhy you no look at me?"

She really was not prepared for this conversation.

"Viktor, I'm sorry, it's just if I look at you I don't know what will happen, and I don't want to do anything to hurt you anymore."

She stood up walking towards the fields, she didn't want him to see the tears she was holding back. But she felt his hand wrap around her under the coat touching her bare back. He was barely touching her but it caused shivers to run down her spine, and it felt divine. She allowed him to pull her closer, she felt the warmth from his body, she would smell the scent of woods after a rainy day and it was intoxicating.

"Her-mionee look at me."

She obeyed him and tilted her head to look up at him. He gently brushed away strands of her hair away from her face lightly rubbing her thumb over her cheek.

"I vant you, I need you."

She had no time to respond, he crashed his lips into her. She allowed herself to give in to her desires and deepened the kiss. He gently cupped her face with his hands kissing her, they only broke away to gasp for air. She looked up at him, his eyes seemed to have darken if that was possible. She was about to saying something again but he cut her off with a kiss, not as rushed this time. This kiss was showing her what he wanted. She gently bit her lip causing her to open her mouth to him. She felt his tongue slowly caressing hers and she greeted him back. She felt one of his hands move to the back of her forcing her to look up, exposing her neck to him. He left a trial of searing hot kisses down her neck, biting her just enough to cause a gasp out of her.

She couldn't control her breathing; her body wasn't listening to her. She felt herself lean her head further back granting him more access. Which he greedily took.

"Viktor…"

She could even muster up anything above a whisper, it didn't even phase him. He was pressing his body against her and she couldn't breathe. He grabbed her waist and lifted her up, instantly she wrapped her legs around his waist. He held her tightly against him and walked further into the fields for privacy. Once far enough in he removed his coat with his free hand and laid it on the ground laying her on top of the coat underneath him.

"Viktor…"

Again she felt her voice had betrayed her, it came out barely enough for her to hear it. He silenced what little of her voice with another kiss. She felt him against her thigh, he wanted this, knowing how aroused she was she rotated her hips grinding into him causing an animal growl to come from him. She slipped her hand free and stroked him over his pants in a teasing way. She felt him bite into her neck holding in a moan causing her to smile. She was about to unhook his belt when he quickly grabbed her wrist and forced her hands above her head.

"Viktor?"

She was surprised did he not want this? She looked into his eyes, they were covered with lust.

"Her-mi-onee, do you know vhat you do to me?"

She was unsure if she was supposed to respond she bit her lip in her nervous way. She watched his eyes drop down to her lips causing him to mimic her and bite his own lower lip.

"Do you?"

He retuned his gaze back to her eyes, she shook her head not trusting her voice to betray her. He placed of her wrist in one of his hands still above her head. With his free hand he traced his thumb over her lips, she opened her mouth to him and gently bit his finger causing his hand on her wrists to tighten painfully but she wouldn't protest. He removed his thumb and leaned down to kiss her. She felt his hand run over her breast down her side until he was caressing her leg through her thigh high slit. His hands felt like the were burning her they were so hot.

He continued to run his hand up her thigh until he was touching her knickers. Silently she thanked Ginny that she made her shave her legs and was not wearing black laced knickers. He gently rubbed his hand up and down causing friction. Hermione couldn't help but close her eyes. He lifted her knickers up and slipped his hand underneath. She felt the warmth of his hand meeting his. He used his two fingers to open her folds gently. She couldn't help but moan in pleasure tilting her head to the side.

"Do you know?"

He whispered hotly in her ear causing her to shiver in pleasure, slowly making his way to her opening. She was ready, she felt him dip one finger into her wet opening.

"You are so vet."

His hot breath against her neck causing her more pleasure, he was leaning his head against the side of her head. She could hear his heavy breathing almost matching hers. His chest rising and falling quickly. He slipped his second finger into her and slowly pumped his fingers in and out of her causing immense friction on her core. She could but squirm it's as if she was being tickled but she didn't want it to stop, she felt his leg push her thigh open further trapping her. He quickened his pace feeling her tighten on his fingers

"oh Her-mionee."

Hearing her name hoarsely moaned into her ear caused her to go over and she felt her hips involuntary kick in the air but trapped by him.

"Next time, you Vill see vhat you truly mean to me."
