Chapter. Galaxy Orchids
Hermione Granger Pov -
I had no idea why I was here.
The pink cardigan, and orange skirt with black heels felt a bit too sexy for the small rundown pub.
However, I came for the celebratory dinner of Teddy and Victoire, announcing their plans to elope next week. Victoire, accidentally blurted out that she was pregnant three days ago, as we all visit Luna Lovegood- who was in her backyard scattering her sons ashes. It's heartbreaking to hear one of Luna's twins scarified himself for Harry's oldest born. Last I seen, Harry spends his afternoons with Luna, and evenings with Tonks and Teddy. It's strange thing to think of.
I wonder how Ron feels about Victoire, becoming pregnant with Teddy's child. I love to be supportive, even now my mind not stress of how much of a relief it is to finally put an end to the Pure-Blood murders.
I stood in the center of the room, procrastinating as the small group were joined by Ron, Harry, Albus, Lily, Hugo, James,, Rose, Scorpius, Victoire, Teddy, Leah Clearwater, Sarah Black, Embry Call, Rebecca Black and surprisingly Dean Thomas.
Watching my friends and family, with smile on their face, should bring one to mine but there's only one person missing here.
"I received your letter." I hear and instantly turned around with a smile.
His brown hair, and dark eyes. "Hi." Am I happy to see him.
"Hi, you look beautiful." He say. I look to his black tuxedo. Very well put, muscular, lean, and inhumanly handsome.
"Thank you." I smile.
"How are you?" He say, holding a bouquet of small blue Galaxy Orchids. He slowly, handed the flowers to me, giving me a gentle kiss on my cheek. "Congratulations, on solving the crimes. There was no doubt in my mind that you would."
"Thank you, and thank you for these wonderful flowers, blue ... is still my favorite color."
"Yes," Viktor nod with a chuckle. "Many things I'm certain that never changes... favorite colors, places, food or numbers." He smiles, and i glance at the bouquet, and there were exactly thirteen count.
"Lucky thirteen," i smile. "How is it that your here?" I ask. "How is your mother, and family?"
"They're great. It sadly was just as i had suspected..." He say, and I assume his mother indeed just missed him.
"So.. she's in good health." I ask.
"Quite so, however as pleased as I am of that, being here- is what I -"
"Oh my gosh, Mr. Krum?" I hear the screeching sound of my daughter's voice. "Wow, Mum... you never said that Mr. Krum was here." Rose say, a bit too loudly and I looked across the room to see Ron rise from the small table in the corner with a drink in his grasp.
Oh great, the last thing I need is Ronald sticking his nose into my love affair with Viktor.
"Hello, Mr. Viktor." Rose, smiles coming to hug my waist.
"Hello. Rose."
"You know who i am?" I never seen her like this. Ever!
Viktor chuckled. "Of course, I hear you have a boyfriend." He says, and my eyes widened.
"Um..Rose, I thought we discussed that we'll-"
"Ooh come on, mum. Dad's alright with it now." She says and I laugh.
"I honestly doubt that."
"No honestly, mum. Ask him."
I shook my head. "No, thank you."
"Whoa! Those are amazing follower, and Blue, mum your favorite color." She says, and i rolled my eyes. "Mr. Viktor, I grew up watching you play. Even when you retired... I thought you were married."
Viktor laugh, and telling by the blush on his cheeks, he was embarrassed a bit. It was adorable.
"I'm sorry, I know I'm blabbering. I don't mean too. It's just the only celebrity, that I've met happens to be my Uncle Harry. I see him weekly, nearly." Rose say. She reminds me of how enthusiastic Ron once was, when he and I were younger.
"I cannot imagine how that must be for you." Viktor says, having no idea.
"Quite boring, actually. My parents has told me all about you. My mum tales more brilliant than my Dad's, Don't tell him I told you, he still reads of you in the Bulqarian Historical-"
"Rosie?" Ron yells from across the room.
"Oh no. Here comes, Dad. He's been a bit more on edge since Lysander's death. Mrs. Luna and Lorcan - decided not to come due to grieving. Dad only came for the beer, he had a few already.." Rose whispers, the last part.
I was a bit harsh on her about Scorpius Malfoy at first, yet I was a teenager once. I have to be supportive, Rose and Scorpius do seem to truly care for one and other.
Ron sat his drink on the table and head this direction. I sighed.
"Are you alright?" Viktor whispers. I nodded.
I was not in the mood for un-sober Ronald Weasley.
Instantly, full of anxiety that Viktor must sense - because he places his hand in the middle of my back. Gently, rubbing there, comforting.
I relaxed my shoulders, and gave him a nod and a smile. He smelt as wonderful as he did the night we spent beneath the stars.
The mini-flashback, made me grin, re-imagining him naked, underneath me.
"Sweetheart, since he's coming over go keep an watch of Hugo, I'm sure Lysander's death is hard on him as well. He should not be alone." I say, and Rose nods, doing as i say. Passing Ron, who eyes widened once he realized whose standing beside me.
"Ow." A lady say, as he stumbled into her.
"Ah, Sorry."
I glanced at Viktor, who eyes were locked on Ron. I half wondered what it was that he was thinking. "Viktor Krum?"
I feel Viktor's energy shift, but he smiles and stares at Ron, letting me take the lead. Only nodding once as a greeting to Ron.
Ron laugh full of arrogance. 'Long time no see."
Viktor reaches out to shake Ron's hand. Ron obliges, clearly uncomfortable. "You two are what... friends now?"
I feel Viktor's hand slip from my back, to my waist side. He pulls me into him slightly.
"We're together." Viktor say.
I smile up at Viktor, then lean in, tracing his toned abs with my fingertips.
Viktor pulls me in a little tighter. My nerves tingle like they haven't in years.
Ron laughs, nervously. I stare at Ron unwavering. He must feel humiliated in the inside.
When Ron once loved to me, he seen someone who knew him, someone that overly cared for him. With Viktor, he always seen me as a person to be amazed by, way before I could actually see it in myself.
"Together? Since when?" Ron laughed.
"I think you gave up your right to ask about my personal relationships, when we separated." I say, with a small smile.
Ron laughed, again.
Sometimes when you're too close to something it's hard to get a good look at the bigger picture, and that certainly seems to hold true when it comes to how Ron looked at me. Yes, he was once my best friend and he was more comfortable with me than nearly anyone, but he had loss sight of a lot.
"Hermione, you are the most talented, smartest, and impressive women that he's ever met. Why waste your time?"
"Excuse me?" I say, "I can't believe you just said that."
Ron laugh, and if he does it once more I'm going to shove these gorgeous orchids down his obnoxious throat.
With insensitive, rude remarks. He owe me more than that, chuckling like a ten year old. I was good to him after our divorce and he took up with Luna, so fast I had whiplash. It had only been three year, but our affection for one and other was gone years before that.
Viktor's hand still on my body almost as if he's holding me up as quiet support, calms me.
Ron glazes travels to Viktor once more, he frowns "Hmph. Well...this.. Fine.. fine... but, whatever." He say, eyeing us with his exhausted blue eyes.
Little did he know, Viktor was such a good match for me.. on the contrary, Viktor understood how incredible i was without books in hand, even though he rather so. regardless.. he wasn't ever afraid to let me know how he felt.
To be completely fair, it's not as if Ron never had ton of unique qualities that made him worthy, he was just a jerk who care less. However, Viktor Krum is clearly the type of person who knows what he wants and will do whatever is necessary to get it. He's extraordinarily skilled at a lot of different things, and he's always wanting to do better.
"You clearly, had a bit too much to drink. Perhaps, you should go have a seat." I say, He was obviously not handling Lysander's death well. Which I understand. Heaven forbid, if i was to loss one of my children, I'd be home in bed. "Why don't you get a ride home, then spend the rest of the evening with Luna and Lorcan. They need you right now, What are you doing here?" I say.
Ron looks to the floor with sorrow. Then clears his throat, narrowing his eyes at Viktor and I. "Pretty flowers."
In short, Viktor and I, are just alike. I've always been super intense and he always looked past that to see potential. I was always flattered.
Viktor and I undoubtedly will bring out the best in one another. "You are their only family now, Ron. Other than Luna's father. Go home. Not to your flat... but to Luna." I say, to him.
Just then, Hugo ran towards us happily. "Rosie, say , is mummy's date." He say, then turn completely to Viktor "Mum have old booklets of you in our treasure chest." He announced.
"Oh, yes... Viktor Krum...is the world's best Quidditch Player." Ron say, sarcastically.
"Come along Hugo, lets go continue helping with the festivities. Your aunt Ginny, will be on stage soon.." Ron say, turning Hugo's body, both slowly returning to the corner of the room.
I sigh, in relief at their absence.
"Sorry about that." I say to Viktor who still had his skin on mine.
He chuckled. "Your children are beautiful."
"And a bit ...wild." i laughed, nervously and a bit proud.
"They're brilliantly beautiful, like their mother." He says, and I looked into his dark eyes.
"Thank you." I touch my hand to his cheek, feeling a spark race through me at the contact. His breath catches, as does mine.
He leans into my touch, eyes closing as he covers my hand with his.
Next his voice comes out a whisper… "Hermione, God, I adored you since I was eighteen. Would you like to go elsewhere?"
Little did he know, I'll go anywhere with him. "Yes."
As we headed out the door, I pulled out my phone to message Rose.
I sent...
'Hey, sweetheart. Make sure your father gets to Luna's safe, then go to your Uncle Harry's with Hugo. I will pick you up in the morning. Love you.'
*Few Moments Later*
Viktor helps me step out of his jeep, and we walk to a white building home, i was surprise on how newly built it was.
"Welcome, to Devereux, my secondary home." I took Viktor's hand as he lead us to his small door.
"I can't believe you been this close for an entire year." I say.
"More or less. It's been a handful traveling back home, to here. This my temporary home, for teaching and work." He say, leading us indoors.
"May i ask... now that we are... together..." i smile. "Why haven't you look for a permanent home?"
Viktor chuckles. "I... already have."
In his dark home, he turn on the lights - shutting the door.
The house was indeed newly built and Victorian. Yet, each decor design pattern maroon, brown, black or white. Very appealing for a man like Viktor.
"Wow, did you design this on your own?"
Viktor chuckles again. "I did."
"Sorry, not..that you are not capable - just... When did you find the time?" I say looking around the huge home.
He had a white piano in the center of the room and a staircase that showed his kitchen area and above that, his bedroom. On the the far right which I assume led to a bath room. If he ever has to rush to it, he probably wouldn't make it. he created a studio flat.
"No apology need. I was in fact very busy, a student of mine helped and I am enormously grateful." He say, and i wondered if it was a male or female student.
"I'm happy to hear that, would you...every recommend her? I should look to expanding my home." I say, casually removing my cardigan, revealing my orange-glittered tank-top.
Viktor, stood against his sofa - giving me curious arching eyebrows. Awkwardly, I shrugged. "What? Do i have drool on my face?" I say, then looked over to his fireplace that were covered with ancient elephants artifacts. "What are these?" I ask, as his silence was deafening.
"I bought them. Beautiful aren't they?" His voice, sneaking up on me for a moment.
It was weird being in his home. Something i have never ever done before. This was his element, he has always been in mine. Starting with Hogwarts, so many years ago and just weeks ago he was in my home.
"Hermione-"
"Yeah?" I say too fast, cutting him off.
He smiles, and my heart took off on a high speed chase. "I know your nervous. You don't have to worry."
I nodded, with a smiling laugh. "It seemed so much easier before, when I was afraid you were leaving." I say out loud. It sounded ridiculous. "I'm sorry, that sounded idiotic." I sighed.
Viktor moved closer, putting his hands on my waist. "No, no. Don't ever think that. The truth of what you feel will never be idiotic, because i completely understand. Times like these, when we're at war with our thoughts and emotions ... we forget to tell the full truth."
Alike him, Blue is a color that radiates both calmness and intelligence, two traits that fits him perfectly. i love not have the need to explain everything.
"Can I get you anything?" He asked.
I could use some wine, but I was craving him more.
I glanced around, there was a piano, floor and maroon colour sofa. My only choice, as I refuse to travel up his staircase to the next floor where the bedroom is. Victor studies my face with a tilted head.
I caressed his cheek with my hand, while leaning in to touch his lips with mine.
I never told a soul... except Ron, that I lost my virginity to Fred, the summer before my fifth year at Hogwarts. That time, when I was staying at the burrow, i had thoughts of Ron - yet i knew I didn't want Ron to be my first sexual experience. You can say I was desperate, due to the fact that I was appalled that Ginny planned to lose her virginity before I had. Not that it was a race, I was just curious. That year was the year she started dating Dean Thomas and of course he was her first, even though her heart was with Harry.
I lifted Viktor shirt, and casually tossed it on the nearby sofa. Slowly erotically he started unbuttoning his pants, and i stopped him.
Yet, continued kissing his soft lips. "Allow me." I whispered.
Rethinking of our time in which I first had him inside me, made my mouth dry. I blushed, fingers were working on his belt. It easily unbuckled. I unbuttoned his pants and then pulled his zipper down.
His chest was sleek, muscled and hard. Like he just worked out on his plane flight back here.
His upper body was beautiful, a living marble sculpture.
I broke our kiss, to remove my top and bra. My heels i kept on.
Viktor, admired my perky, small breast.. kicking off his shoes and one by one pulled off his socks.
I lick my lips as I watched him. I had never seen a man strip before, so elegantly quiet.
I had to remind myself it wasn't just some one night stand that we are continuing... this is the start of our relationship.
I didn't take my eyes from him. He stood comfortably naked, and aroused.
I smiled, at the image of being laid across his beautiful piano - with me riding him like our first time.
Removing the remainder of my clothing, i took my hair loose and shook it wildly to my shoulders.
He laughs to himself for a moment. "Do you still use Sleekeazy's Hair Potion?" He ask, amused and i rolled my eyes.
"Maybe, maybe not." I use anything that will works these days. "I once didn't pay attention to my appearance and dress wear. However, as the minister of Magic, I have an image to uphold as neatly as possible." I say, moving towards him.
He stood perfectly still as I lowered myself, face eye level with his arousal.
He had no idea how much of him I craved.
Putting my hand around his large, thick, shaft, I guiding him to my lips.
Viktor's, breath caught as my mouth locked tightly, around him.
His skin was soft and warm, I couldn't help to moan at the taste of him.
For a very long time, I held curious thoughts on what my sexual experience with Viktor would be like.
I laid my palms to his hips, holding him steady as I quickened my pace. His hands locked on mine.
Enjoying every bit of him. He let out a hiss of pleasure as he felt the wetness of my tongue rounding, his cocks head - over and over.
Looking up, Viktor's gave me assurance that all he felt was uncontrollable lust.
The smile among my face was not innocent at all. All i like at the moment is to please him.
He released another pained groan of pleasure, just as his hips bucked forward.
He then suddenly, leaned low, lifting me up off the floor. Confused, assuming a woman giving oral was what men wanted above all else. i look to Viktor. Ron always begged for occasions back when we were married "Thank you" Viktor muttered, standing me straight up, "Sadly, if I'll allow you to continue, I'll cum more quickly then needed." He say, hoisting my thighs around his waist, firmly.
i understood in that moment, the fast foreplay.
He grinned, walking us over to his piano. Maneuvered me to lay flat on top of it.
The erotic thought of him making love to me against his lovely piano, made my heated-core moist.
Gripping himself in his hand, he rubbed the head of his manhood back and forth across my wet lips.
Filling with passion and desire, i awaited to be ravished by him.
I moan in pleasure, lustfully breaths escaping me. just rubbing caused him to shudder in pleasure.
He look at my pink, wet lips, glistening of my core... leaned down to lick for a taste, then stood to enter me. Pushing my legs wider apart.
Eye to eye, we look deep within each others souls it seemed. I was hypnotized, him obviously mesmerized. Grabbing my love handles. He brought me closer to him. Bending my other leg and lifting it against his hip.
On a ragged growl of pleasure with one smooth thrust he entered me fast, having a hilt of loud moans immediately echoing around him.
Let out a gasp of his name, Viktor was thrilled and delighted. I never had a lover like him before. Only him, i can think to ever have me feel these feelings of over zealous joy.
He leaned down and kissed my face. I stared in awe. He gently throbbed inside of me. His toned body, pressing tight to mine. I wrap my arms around his neck, and brought his head down so our mouths and tongues played.
The noise of slapping of our bodies with each thrust, turned us on even more. Our kissing became sloppy.
I can tell he was mesmerized by my face as it contorted in his pleasure. He couldn't keep his glare from me for too long.
Suddenly, my orgasm, hit fast and I whale with flushed skin beneath him.
He steadies himself, just before his own spasms rock his body.
It was as if he politely waited for me. As if it could be possible, why would he do such a thing? It's more than a hold back, was he doing that for my sake? Going easy on me. I had to know.
One last easy air escapes my throat before i asked. "Do you pace yourself for me?" I ask, and Viktor slowly pull out of me and i instantly realize in my sexual craze, we didn't use any protection.
Viktor must have felt my nerves leaving me, he pulls me off the piano and into his huge warm arms.
With three small strides, he carried me. Laying us down.
For the moment that we rested, chest to chest on his comfy sofa - I realize that I was already a different person with him, a person whose once moral thoughts ruled her, now has shifted completely.
I relaxed, laying my head full on his heartbeat.
As it drummed in my ear, I exhaled - needing to remind myself that this life was a gift, as well as this time with him. We had a choice to start again, as lovers. I didn't want to ruin it with rules and regulations, or restrictions.
"May I get you anything, love." He asked.
I sighed, satisfied and content.
"White wine, will do." I say, yet hope he doesn't move a muscle.
