"I own nothing I tell you NOTHING…except maybe the computer I am using."
Essential, Chapter 8
"Viktor!?" Asked Hermione. She couldn't believe he was here! He was only supposed to arrive in a week NOT today, especially since this day she was spending was only supposed to be spent with Harry and her. "I am glad to fee you Hermioninee" Said Viktor, quite aggravated with the scene he saw as he arrived. (A/N: Just to say it is REALLY hard to talk as write like Viktor Krum, so please give me a break on this! Thank you). "Arry, Ron…" started Viktor, as both boys nodded. "I came to fee you Hermioninee, I'f missed you much." Seamus couldn't help but laugh at the way Krum spoke. As for Parvati and Lavender, they were just really embarrassed by seeing Viktor especially since they stalked him all last year. "I'm surprised to see you Viktor, but I really find it inappropriate of you to come like this without saying anything." Spoke a very nervous and angry Hermione. What was he doing here? Harry and her will never end up together if Krum keeps on coming to ruin their romantic moments, or what Hermione thought romantic. "I fought I vaz being romantic." Said Viktor plainly. Hermione blushed as Harry tightened his knuckles. "I fought that we could maybe talk avout vat happened." Exclaimed Viktor. Hermione nodded her head reluctantly. It was obvious to everyone that she didn't want to go with Viktor but she just had to, to get everything straightened out, before it got out of hand. "Don't worry Harry…" said Ron, "You'll get the girl." The gang nodded silently as they watched Hermione and Krum leave together to go to a more 'secluded' area.
"I still love you Hermioninee" started Krum, "I'm not going to gif up on our relaphionship." Hermione told Viktor to give up but he wouldn't listen, he told her that he knew she loved him but was just too afraid to admit it to herself yet. With that Viktor left, leaving a very confused Hermione. 'Oh that git! I DON'T love him at all!' She thought before heading back to Harry and everyone else. Ron and Lavender were talking quietly which obviously annoyed Pansy, Neville and Dean were talking about life at home, and Ginny and Seamus were flirtingly talking to each other, while drinking out of a Chocolat Milkshake with two straws. "What happened?" Asked Harry as Hermione came back. "That ass said that he knew that I loved him but I was too afraid to admit it to myself yet, really is he that conceited? I don't love him!" Said an extremely aggravated Hermione. "I trust we should go back to school, its getting late." Said Ginny. Everybody left the parlor to head back to Hogwarts.
Back in the common room, the girls were all talking about their day while the boys were out watching Harry practice Quidditch. "This was quite an exciting day wasn't it?" Asked Ginny, ofcourse to break the silence in the room. "It was Gin! You'll never believe what your brother told me!" Said Lavender. "What?" Asked Ginny. "He said that when you were little, age 7 I think, you would always follow him around doing whatever he did and doing whatever you told him to do." "WHAT A LIAR! HE PROBABLY SAID THAT TO IMPRESS YOU, I MEAN I WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING!" Lavender was awe struck, 'Impress me?' She thought to herself. "Lav…" started Parvati, "I really don't like you and Ron talking together so much, I mean he is my date to the Ball not yours…" Hermione saw the look on Lavender's face as Parvati said this, Lav seemed hurt and surprised in a negative way. "HOW DARE YOU ACT LIKE SUCH A LITTLE SPOILED BITCH PARVATI!" Screamed Hermione trying to protect her friend. Parvati just stood up, swore at Hermione and Lavender and ran up the stairs to the dormitory. Hermione knew that she never liked Parvati and now she knew why. "Enough about that, what are you going to do about Viktor?" Asked Lavender to Hermione. "I told him I wanted nothing more to do with him, I mean I did like him last year but it was just a crush it was not a big deal, but he seriously thinks I love him which I totally don't! I never noticed how conceited he was until now, I mean its true what they say isn't it? You never now how someone is really like until they lose something or just get mad." Ginny nodded. Gin knew that Hermione liked Harry even though Mione had only told Lav about it. "Ginny? Listen I know you like Seamus a lot and I am so sorry that I am going with him, when I know that you want to, I swear that if I knew earlier I would have never accepted his preposition. But see he was so worried that he wouldn't get a date and I was so worried too that I decided to say yes because I mean I didn't want to end up going all alone, you know? I'm sorry it was selfish of me." Said Lavender in a sad tone. Ginny stood up and went over to hug her friend. "It's all right I'm not mad at all. I know that Seamus and you are just best friends and nothing more! But if I were you I would start worrying about Parvati and not my goodness. She's acting quite bitchy lately." Hermione nodded to Ginny's comment but everyone could tell that Hermione wasn't paying that much of attention to her two friends. 'I wish that Krum wasn't here, I wish that it was only Harry and me in each other's arms, telling each other we love each other.' Hermione thought to herself. Gin and Lav could tell that Mione was thinking about Harry and went up to her and took her into a big embrace. Mione, Lav, and Gin were all hugging each other in the middle of the common room.
Meanwhile outside Harry had finished practice and was getting ready to meet the boys outside on the bleachers. 'God I hate Krum! He's going to ruin every plan I had to tell Hermione that l love her. I have to be strong about this, I need to win her over before Krum does, because or else I'll never forgive myself!' Thought Harry to himself. Harry hurried putting his broom back, so he could go see his friends outside. "You were great Harry!" Said Neville. "You caught the snitch twice!" Said Seamus and Dean. Ron smiled and said "You don't need me to tell you how good a Quidditch player you are, you already know for you're self!" Harry smiled at his friends and told them what he was thinking about Hermione. "I'll get her guys I will!" The only people in the school that knew that Harry liked Hermione were his four friends, and the only people that knew that Hermione liked Harry were her two friends. Mione would never tell Parvati the way she felt about Harry. It was now 9 pm and every student was in his or her dorm. In the Gryffindor's Girls Dormitory, Hermione was reading a book on Faeries, Ginny was painting her nails, Parvati was reading a cheesy magazine, and Lavender was listening to her CD player. "What are you listening to, Lav?" Asked Hermione. Lav looked at Hermione and said "There She Goes by the La's, I know it's a really old song but it's my all time favorite." (A/N: That's my favorite song! ^ ^) Hermione and Ginny also said they loved that song and asked Lavender if she could put it in the boom box so they could all listen to it. Parvati just rolled her eyes at the girls 'God I hate the song!' Lavender did as she was asked and put the song on so that every one could listen to it.
There she goes
There she goes again
Racing thru' my brain
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains
There she blows
There she blows again
Pulsing thru' my vein
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains
There she goes, there she goes again
She calls my name, pulls my train
No one else could heal my pain
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains
There she goes
There she goes again
Chasing down my lane
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains
