Disclaimer: Everything you don't recognize from the Harry Potter books is mine. But everything else is J.K'S as you all know!

A/N: WOW! I got more reviews in the last two days than I ever have in a like…a week! I thank all of you who reviewed, you guys rock and you made me want to update faster, so here ya go!! Thanks so so much!

Hermione practically ran out of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, leaving Harry and Ron to collect her dust. She ran up to the Gryffindor common room and fell onto one of the comfy chairs and put her head in her hands. This could not be happening. Yes, she cared for Viktor very much and had wanted him to come to Hogwarts…but not like this! She thanked her lucky stars that only Ron, Harry and Ginny knew about her relationship with Viktor. It was a written rule that teacher/student relationships were strictly forbidden. She knew this from being Head Girl and receiving the full Hogwart's rule book at the beginning of the year. And being Head Girl it would most definitely be frowned upon! She wondered if Viktor knew that. At that very moment Harry, Ron and Ginny all flew into the common room.

"Hermione!" they all yelled in unison dropping to the ground next to her chair. Apparently the two boys had wasted no time in informing Ginny who the new DADA teacher was.

"Are you all right?" Ginny asked.

"No! Of course I'm not all right! This is perfectly awful! I truly care about this man and there's no way he can teach here and make our relationship forbidden! No way!" she shrieked in a whisper.

"You know, he is a good teacher. He was telling us what we would learn about it and sounds fairly useful and…" Harry blabbed on either ignoring her feelings or being oblivious to them. Hermione glared at him. "Sorry…I was just trying to make you feel better." He mumbled. "Ron, why don't we go to our rooms and leave the girls to talk". Ginny sent him a sweet smile and they left. Ginny turned her full attention to Hermione.

"Spill".

Hermione began to sob. "I just don't know what to do Ginny! I don't have anything to spill! You know the circumstances and I…I…can't…" and she dissolved into a new round of sobs.

Ginny shook her. "Hermione! Get a GRIP! I think before making any decisions what so ever you need to go and talk to HIM and find out why he's doing this!"

Hermione almost hit herself in the head. It was the perfect solution and she could not believe she hadn't thought of it earlier. "Ginny! That's perfect. I'll find out what's going on and THEN I'll decide things. He and I can decide something together." She hopped out of the chair and turned towards the portrait ready to leave when she abruptly turned. "Ginny! You don't think this is his way of…breaking up with me do you?"

"NO! Of course not! Now GO! You're starting to drive me crazy!"

Hermione grinned and walked out of the room full of confidence.

Ron paced the 7th year boys' dorm. He and Harry were the only ones up there having eaten an early dinner.

"I can't believe he's here! TEACHING of all things! What does he expect, her to…to fly into his arms and completely lose all of her morals and…and…break the rules?!" he sputtered, his face beginning to turn the color of his hair. "How could he? How…he…I….ARGH!"

"Ron I have two words of advise"

Ron glared at him.

"CALM DOWN".

"Calm down? Calm down? Harry this is an outrage! He just thinks he can show up and…just change her completely?!"

"Ron…you have feelings for Hermione"

"Of course I do! She's my best friend!"

"No…romantic feelings" said Harry, emphasizing the word romantic.

Ron sat down on the bed going completely pale. "I do not have feelings for Hermione" he said, not even sounding convincing to himself.

"Just hear me out. You are always jealous of her, you have been since 4th year if not earlier! You look out for her and you two don't fight…you flirt!" Harry concluded with a big grin on his face.

Ron sat there feeling completely dumbfounded. How could he have been this blind for 3 years? He looked up at Harry and whispered "what do I do?"

"Tell her"

Ron ran down the stairs.

Hermione stood in front of Viktor's door. She took a deep breath and knocked.

"Come in"

She walked in.

"Herm-own-ninny! I vas very vorried about you. You left my class in such a hurry today."

"Viktor I'm sorry I was just…shocked I guess. I really need to talk to you about you teaching here, that's why I'm here"

"Alright" he said sitting down on his desk facing her.

"I have a few questions for you." When he responded with silence she continued. "Well as I'm sure you know…teacher/student relationships are strictly forbidden and well…I don't want to get you fired nor do I want to get in trouble and I was wondering what your thoughts were and…I just wanted to know what you wanted and…"

"You know vhat I vant Herm-own-ninny?"

"N..No…"

He got off his desk, walked right over to her and whispered in her ear. "I vant you".

"Viktor that can't happen! Especially not here! Hogwarts of all places I mean…I just…" she was having a hard time concentrating when she could feel his warm breath in her ear, and longed to taste his kiss again.

"Ve could keep it a secret. It vould not be zat difficult. Ve vould haff so much more time together…" he whispered seductively.

"I…I…"

"Herm-own-ninny. I love you very much. I feel ve need to be together. In more vays than vone" and with that he kissed her very hard on the mouth. She allowed herself to melt into his kiss…into him. He ran his hands up and down her back…and suddenly under her shirt. She gasped. He looked down at her with his dark eyes.

"Are you ready for this?" he asked.

She hesitated. She didn't know why she hesitated…but then she looked up and nodded her head and kissed him deeply as they fell onto the desk.

Ron shot into the common room and glanced around and spotted Ginny. He ran over to her panting. "Ginny! Where is Hermione?"

"I'm not really sure Ron."

"Damn!" suddenly he had a thought and ran back upstairs. "Harry! Where's your Marauder's Map?"

Harry dug through his trunk and handed it to Ron without any questions. Ron tapped it and said, "I solemnly swear I am up to no good". The map revealed itself and Ron desperately looked over it…when he found Hermione's name in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom….but her name wasn't alone. Viktor's name was also there. But there weren't two dots…there was only one. Ron got a sick feeling in the pit of his stomach.

"Harry?"

"Yeah?"

"What does it mean when there's two people…but only one dot?"

"Harry's head shot up from his homework, and he gave Ron a piteous look.



A/N: WHEW! That was definitely a rough one to write. But I was inspired by my reviewers! I'm sorry it was a bit dirty but I needed this, and I also apologize to my H/G people, I promise you next chapter we'll have some H/G action! Haha! Well please review! Oh yes, and I do NOT take credit for the idea about the two people one dot thing. I got that off of another story. Please Review! Thanks!
