Hermione woke up the next morning and the previous day's events came rushing back to her. She still couldn't believe that Jess was gone. She remembered what Viktor had told her the night before, that he suspected that Jessica had gone to a vampire bar in Shreveport, but she couldn't see Jessica doing that. Since it was a Monday night, and the diner would be slow, Sirius had told her to take the night off, thankfully, but she really wanted to talk to Cho; maybe she would have known if Jessica was planning to go to Fangtasia? She figured it wouldn't hurt to drop in and talk to her about it.

Hermione stretched and crawled out of bed, smiling to herself when she thought about kissing Viktor in her car, and how she had an orgasm in his lap. She blushed at the memory, feeling faintly embarrassed, but she was pretty sure he had enjoyed it as well. She pulled on her yoga pants and headed downstairs to grab a cup of coffee. Effy was already in the kitchen, sipping her coffee and doing the crossword puzzle in the newspaper.

"Good morning, Gran" Hermione said slipping into the seat across from her.

"Good Morning, Honey. Did you get some sleep last night?" she asked giving her a concerned look.

"Yes, Viktor showed up at the end of my shift last night and drove me home again. He watched over the house last night so he could make sure we were safe." Hermione said taking a sip of her coffee

"Such a sweet boy." Effy said smiling,

"Gran, he's three hundred and sixty-seven years old." Hermione laughed.

"My goodness. Well, he still looks like a boy to me." Effy laughed.

Hermione snorted into her coffee and grabbed an orange from the fruit bowl and began to peel it.

"Did Chief Swan say anything?" Effy asked gently.

"Not really, other than then they suspect a vampire was involved. Bella told me last night that her dad said they found bite marks on Jess. I asked Viktor if he knew anything about it, and he thinks it couldn't have been a vampire that killed her." Hermione said popping an orange slice into her mouth.

"Oh? And why does he think that?" Effy asked.

"He said that no vampire would have been able to resist drinking the blood, and Jessica wasn't drained, only bitten. He thinks that she may have…um…been…intimate with a vampire at some point shortly before she was killed." Hermione said looking away uncomfortably.

"Oh…I see. I didn't realize Jessica knew any vampires." Effy said in surprise.

"Neither did I. Viktor thinks it's possible that she could have gone to a vampire bar Saturday night, and maybe that was where she met one, but that still doesn't shed any light on who may have killed her." She said furrowing her brows.

"Well, lets hope the police catch whoever did it quickly. The last thing this town needs is to be on the national news." Effy said shaking her head.

Hermione nodded in agreement, and finished her coffee before heading back upstairs to shower and get dressed.

Later that evening, Hermione changed into halter style sundress, and headed over to Black's. She knew that Sirius would be surprised to see her, since he'd given her the night off, but she figured she would go in and have a drink so that she could ask Cho a few questions of her own before she headed over to Viktor's. She sat at the bar, and Luna came over to greet her, asking what she was doing in on her night off, and poured Hermione a glass of red wine.

"I decided to come in and grab a drink before heading over to meet Viktor. How's things here?" Hermione told her

Luna laughed and gestured to the nearly empty diner, "Not exactly hoppin, but you're here, so that's all that matters." She said giving her hand a squeeze.

"Hey, is Cho working tonight?" Hermione asked

"Yeah, she's in the back section. I'm covering the front and the bar since it's so slow and Bella already worked the lunch shift, so Sirius let her go early. I saw Cho flirting with some guy back there." Luna said rolling her eyes and pointing towards the back section.

Hermione scoffed, "Of course she was. Why my brother still dates her is a mystery to me." She said as she took a sip of her wine. She leaned over to peek at the section Cho was in, and she could see that she was sitting on some guy's lap, that was certainly not Harry. She stood, taking her wine glass with her, and walked over to where Cho was

"Hey Cho" Hermione said giving her a fake smile.

Cho looked up in surprise, as a guilty look flashed across her face. Good.

"Hermione. I thought you were off tonight?" she asked trying to skirt around the fact that she had been caught red-handed cheating on her boyfriend by his sister.

"Yeah, I just stopped in for a drink and to say hi to Luna before I head over to Viktor's." Hermione said casually, moving her gaze over to the pale man seated in the booth, whom Cho had just been draping herself over.

"Oh, Viktor's a vampire, right? Are you guys dating?" Cho asked entirely too interested.

"Um…I suppose we are." Hermione answered shifting her gaze once again to the man in the booth who she now realized was also a vampire.

Cho smirked at Hermione knowingly, and then seemed to remember her manners, "Oh! I'm sorry, Hermione, this is Cedric Diggory."

Hermione held out her hand awkwardly. How does one seem happy to meet the man…no, vampire…that her brother is being cheated on with?

"It's nice to meet you, Cedric." Hermione said politely and turned back to Cho when he let go of her hand.

"Cho, can I talk with you privately for a quick moment?" she asked, not wanting to talk about Jessica in front of a vampire she didn't know.

Cho swallowed nervously, sure that Hermione was about to confront her about Harry, and nodded, "Sure, um…I'll be right back." She said giving Cedric a small smile.

"Take your time." He said winking as he ran a pale hand through his messy brown hair.

Hermione smiled politely and headed into Sirius' office with Cho following behind her. Thankfully, Sirius wasn't in there at the moment.

"Look, Cho, I'm not going to give you a hard time about Cedric, so you can relax. That is between you and my brother. I actually wanted to ask you if you knew anything about that vampire bar in Shreveport." Hermione asked her

Cho seemed to be relieved that Hermione wasn't going to give her the third degree, and seemed to relax a bit.

"Fangtasia? Yeah…I went there Saturday night. That was where I met Cedric." She said not wanting to look Hermione in the eye.

"Oh…Did um…did you happen to notice if Jessica was there Saturday night?" Hermione asked hoping that Cho could shed some light on what had happened to Jessica.

Cho bit her lip nervously, and shifted her weight from foot to foot. It was obvious to Hermione that she was hiding something.

"Cho…did something happen? You can tell me." Hermione said gently reaching a hand out to her arm.

"I didn't tell Chief Swan. I Didn't want anyone to know I went there. It's a small town, and people talk, you know?" Cho said biting her lip.

"What happened, Cho?" Hermione asked again, hoping that she would tell her.

"I talked Jessica into going there with me after our shift Saturday night. Harry was being a controlling prick, I'm sorry, but he was…and I was too afraid to go alone. So I convinced Jess to go up to Shreveport with me, and we went to Fangtasia. At first we were just sitting together having a drink, and then I met Cedric, who I went off to dance with. I know I shouldn't have left Jess alone, but I saw her a short while before I left, dancing with some vampire. She looked into it, and I asked her if she wanted to take my car, but she said she'd get a ride back. That was the last time I saw her." Cho said wiping a few tears from her eyes.

Hermione felt bad for her in that moment, since she clearly thought she had most likely delivered Jessica to her killer on a silver platter.

"Cho, it wasn't a vampire that killed Jess." Hermione said evenly.

Cho looked up in surprise, and grabbed Hermione's hands, "How do you know?" she asked

"I talked to Viktor last night about it. Bella had told me that according to her dad, Jessica did have bite marks on her, which is why the police think she was killed by a vampire. I told Viktor, and he said that there was no way it could have been, because Jess wasn't drained, and a vampire would never have killed and left the blood. The killer had to have been a human." Hermione explained.

She could see a weight was lifted off of Cho, and she wasn't surprised when Cho hugged her.

"Thank you. You have no idea what it's been like the last few days thinking I was partly to blame for her death." Cho told her wiping a tear from her eye.

"Let's hope that this person is caught, and Jess gets the justice she deserves." Hermione said giving Cho a small smile.

"Well, I should go, I don't want to keep Viktor waiting." Hermione told her as she took a step back from Cho.

Cho nodded and headed back out to her section, presumably to Cedric's lap.

Hermione was about to leave when Sirius walked into his office.

"Hey, I thought I gave you the night off? I mean, I know I'm irresistible, but come on now…" he said chuckling as he gave her a grin.

"Well, you know me, I just can't stay away." She smiled finishing her glass of wine, "I just stopped in for a quick drink." She said dismissively.

"Well, I'm glad you stopped in. I've been worried about you. How are you holding up?" He asked brushing his hand over her cheek.

Hermione blushed, and gave him a small smile, "I'm doing okay. I have my moments though." She told him honestly.

"Yeah, well, we all do I suppose." He said with a sigh as he sat down at his desk to do the books.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Sirius." She said giving him another smile before she ducked out of his office.

When she arrived at Viktor's, he was sitting on his steps in a pair of faded jeans and a black button down shirt, waiting for her with a glass of wine. He held the wine out to her as she sat down on the steps next to him. She took it gratefully and sipped it as he watched her.

"You were right. Jessica went to Fangtasia with Cho Saturday night." She said looking at him.

"I thought as much. There aren't any other vampires here in Bon Temps." Viktor said evenly as he leaned back on his hands.

"Not exactly…there was a vampire in Black's tonight with Cho. Cedric something or other….Diggory I think."

"Cedric Diggory? I don't know any vampires by that name." Viktor said growing a little uneasy.

"Apparently Cho met him at Fangtasia the othernight. She's cheating on my brother." Hermione sighed.

"I'm sorry, Hermoninny." Viktor said putting his arm around her and pulling her into his side.

"Well, I can't say I'm surprised. I'm sure my brother's probably cheated on her too. For the life of me, I can't figure out why they stay together." She said shaking her head, "I mean, why be in a relationship with someone if you want to be with someone else?" she said looking at him.

"This I do not know. I know I would want no one else if I was with you." He said leaning into her and brushing his lips against her jaw. Her eyes fluttered shut at the contact and she had to fight the urge to toss her glass of wine aside and straddle him right on the stairs.

"Am I still feeling the effects of your blood?" she asked breathlessly as he left a trail of kisses down her neck.

He stilled momentarily, and pulled back from her.

"There is something I should tell you, Hermoninny. You vill alvays feel this desire for me now that you have had my blood. It vill not go avay unless you drink from another vampire." He said looking at her nervously, hoping she wouldn't be upset.

"What does that mean?" she asked looking at him more fully now.

"I did not do it intentionally, you must know this. I gave you blood to save your life. It couldn't be helped." He said holding up his hands to calm her.

"I know that Viktor, I'm not upset. I only want to understand that it means." She said entwining her hands with his.

He seemed to relax, and he pulled her fingers towards his mouth to kiss her knuckles.

"It means that you are mine. No other vampire can touch you as long as you vish to be mine. If I drink from you, ve vill be bonded. I vould alvays be able to find you." He explained.

She set her wine glass down beside her on the steps and straddled his lap, looking into his red eyes, "Make me yours, Viktor." She said and she kissed him hungrily, sliding her fingers into his hair as he wrapped his arms around her pulling her close against him.

He stood, pulling her up with him and she wrapped her legs around his waist as he carried her into his house, the wineglass forgotten on the steps. He backed her up against the wall, and she unbuttoned his shirt and pushed it over his muscular shoulders, running her hands along the sculpted muscles of his tattooed chest, and kissed him deeply. He untied her sundress and let it drop to the floor as he traced the swell of her breast with his tongue.

He groaned as her hand slipped down between them and traced the outline of his cock through his jeans and he picked her up again and carried her into his bedroom. He set her down on the center of the bed, looking at her with undisguised lust. She met his eyes with a lust-filled gaze of her own, and reached behind her and unclasped her bra, exposing herself to him, and propping herself up on her elbows as she watched him lean down and remove first one shoe, and then the other, dropping a kiss on each foot reverently. He slid his hands over her hips causing her eyes to slip shut and her head to fall back in pleasure as he grasped her panties and began to slide them off. She lifted her hips as he slid them down, and tossed them onto a nearby chair before he grasped her calves and pulled her towards the edge of the bed. He crouched down to leave a trail of kisses over the insides of her knees and along her inner thighs until he reached the apex of her thighs, running his tongue along her slit. She arched her back up off the bed thrusting her hips towards his face urging him to continue. He licked and sucked at her, circling his tongue around her clit before sucking it into his mouth and slipping first one and then a second finger inside of her while he lapped at her. Hermione felt her body growing taut as her orgasm built within her, as she tangled her fingers into his hair urging him on.

"I'm …Viktor, I'm going to….Ohhh!" she cried out as he sank his fangs into her femoral artery as she came hard around his fingers. She tasted so good on his tongue, both her essence and her blood. He savored her as her body trembled in pleasure beneath his fingers and then he pulled back to smirk at her.

"That was…." She started as he moved to stand looking down at her with hooded lust filled eyes.

"Just beginning." He said chuckling as he began to undo his belt. At his words, Hermione felt another strong pulse of desire race through her, and she felt a throb at her center wanting to feel more than just his fingers this time. She sat up and stilled his hands on his belt, batting them out of the way as she took over unbuckling it and running one hand along the length of his cock through his pants while pulling his belt out from his jeans with a sharp tug with her other hand. She felt his cock twitch in response, and it turned her on even more knowing that he wanted her as much as she wanted him. She deftly opened his pants, tugging down his jeans and boxer briefs over his hips allowing his cock to spring free. He leaned down then to capture her lips again as he urged her back on the bed running his hands along the undersides of her thighs. He was rocking his hips so that his cock was rubbing against her clit, causing small moans of pleasure to escape her lips as she met his hips with her own. His head dipped down and he ran his tongue along the hardened peaks of her nipples before sucking them into his mouth one at a time with a groan. She felt him slightly angle his hips so that when he pulled back, he was lined up at her entrance before thrusting into her deeply. She cried out and bit down on her lip when she felt him enter her, digging her nails into his back as he began to move in slow deliberate thrusts feeling her beginning to move with him. He slipped his fingers between then and rubbed her clit while he pumped into her, groaning at the way she moaned his name and trembled ever so slightly beneath him. She made a sound of protest when he pulled his hand away for a moment, only to sink his fangs into his wrist and allow the blood to flow onto her lips

"Drink, it will enhance pleasure." He said huskily. He watched her take his wrist to her lips and lick at the wound greedily as he continued to fuck her. After a few moments, he pulled his wrist away, swiping his tongue over the wound to heal it as he picked up his pace. She was writhing beneath him now, with a hint of blood smeared across her lips, her eyes closed in pleasure.

"I vant you to ride me" he said as he flipped them over with the ease of his strength settling her atop him as he gripped her hips. She moaned as she felt his cock deep inside of her hitting spots she didn't even know she had as she lifted her hips and drove herself back down onto his cock crying out his name, her head thrown back in pleasure.

"Oh yes…don't stop….Oh God, Viktor!" she cried as his thumb began to circle her clit once more as he thrust up into her as she rode him. She felt her orgasm building once again and was practically sobbing against the amount of pleasure she was feeling until she finally came hard with a strangled cry around him. He began to pump into her even faster until she heard him growl deep in his chest and he thrust into her a few more times before pulling her down beside him and dropping a kiss on her temple.

"Vas it good?" he said against her ear nuzzling her neck with his nose

Hermione laughed, was it good? Was he kidding? She had never had sex like that in her life.

"Good is not the word I would use" she said before she saw his brows draw together in confusion, "More like amazing, mind-blowing, earth-shattering…." She said laughing again when she saw the smile spread across his face.

"Seriously, I've never…wow." She said biting her lip shyly and looking at him from beneath her lashes.

Viktor gave her a naughty grin and she could see his fangs were still protruded, as he dropped a kiss on her shoulder and his hand came to rest on her hip possessively.

"You were right" she said smirking.

"About vhat?" he asked as he continued to leave light kisses over her neck

"It doesn't hurt, it feels really good actually." She said leaning in to kiss him again

"That is good. I vant to make you feel good. You are mine now, Hermoninny…Herminny…" he tried to say laughing knowing he was getting it completely wrong.

"Hermione…but if it's easier, you can call my Mione."she said laughing at his attempt.

"I'd much rather call you Mine." He said leaning in to capture her lips in another searing kiss.
