Hermione's Summer! By Aphrodite
Hi hi. This is the 4th installment of my story.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Chapter 4
Hermione arrived in a rather large living room. It was decorated in red and green colors, Bulgarian colors Hermione remembered. Straight in front of her was a large red couch with a wooden in table at each end. On each of the tables lay a green touch lamp. Cattycornered to each side of the tables was green armchairs with the same design as the couch.
A doorway could be seen directly behind the couch, and another one directly behind the left armchair. Behind the right chair was a large spiral staircase that led to a second story. Heavy red drapes with green lining hung on the window to Hermiones left and right.
No one was in the room where Hermione fell out. As she looked around an older woman in a maid's uniform came into the living room. She started to speak in a language Hermione didn't know.
"No, no, madam I am here to see Viktor Krum, he is expecting me. My name is Hermione Granger." Hermione silently prayed that the woman could speak English, the only other language Hermione could speak was French. (an: I have no idea if she can speak any other language besides English but she did go to France in one of the books with her parents and I took 5 years of French so I figured why not.)
The woman did not seem to appear to understand Hermione. She kept shouting on and on about something. Viktor appeared on the staircase after the woman became rather loud and brutal with Hermione. He spoke to the woman in the same language and then turned to Hermione.
"Hermy-own-ninny, I am very sorry. My maid vas not avare you vere coming. And she does not speak English." (an: that is my poor attempt at his accent) "But vhere is your bags? Haff my maid done something vith them?"
"Oh sorry Kr-er-Viktor I didn't have time to owl you but I can not stay, my mum and dad want me back tonight by 11 my time. So I can not stay, I am sorry." (an: I have no idea if Bulgaria is in a different time zone or not.) Krum looked confused, but he didn't say anything.
"Vell then ve better start on the day, vhat time is it you haff to go home?" Hermione looked up, 'well he's taking this better than I thought'. "11 and I have to go back by floo powder you do have some right?"
"Right Hermy-own-ninny, Ve vill haff fun together today" Viktor replied. He then started a tour through his house. Hermione was amazed, she had never seen a house that big. There were 4 stories and each story could fit the entire Weasley family comfortably. There was 22 bedrooms all equipped with their own bathrooms and fireplaces. One very large kitchen, equipped, much to Hermione's dislike, with hundreds of house elves.
There were 2 dining rooms, a formal one that was about the size of the Great Hall, and a breakfast nook. (an: Do y'all know what those are? If not ask in a review and I will explain, but it is not really important.) 'Why in the world would he need a dining room so big?' Hermione pondered as the tour continued in the study, which is where Hermione received the answer to her question. On the wall across from where they entered was a picture of about 40 people. She asked Viktor about the picture.
"Those are my sisters and brother, Ve are a very large family. There are about 42 of us in all, including my parents." Hermione stood with her mouth a gasped. She couldn't believe it, he had more brothers and sisters then Ron did. How in the world could he keep up with them all?
"They don't all live here do they? I didn't think there was that many rooms?"
"Oh no Hermy-own-ninny, most of them haff moved out. They live on their own. Only 15 of us stay here right now but ve have family gathers all the time. With all of my aunts and uncles and their kids also so ve need a rather large house."
Hermione could only nod; she silently followed Viktor out of the study and through the rest of the tour, which took about an hour and a ½ all together.
After the tour Viktor said he was going to teach Hermione how to play Quidditch. It was a funny sight to see Hermione playing Quidditch. She was never really good at flying, but now she had to fly AND try and catch a ball and throw it threw a hoop. Hermione figured it was impossible, but the end of the day she was getting pretty good, not good enough to be on the house team but enough to play Quidditch with the Weasley's.
Hermione and Viktor had tons of fun playing Quidditch. They played for hours, and eventually stopped when a servant came out side and said something in Bulgarian to Viktor. Viktor then replied to the maid and turned to Hermione and announced it was time for lunch.
Viktor and Hermione retired to the patio where house elves were busy serving a meal of Bulgarian favorites. (an: I have no idea what they eat in Bulgaria!) After the meal they decided to go for a swim in Viktor's in door pool.
"Ve haff to have an indoor pool because it is too cold here even in the summer time to swim outside, and in the Vinter time it is nice to haff away to warm up." Viktor explained after they had changed into their swimming attire. Hermione borrowed a swimsuit from one o Viktor's sisters.
They were only in the pool 10 minutes when about 8 girls and 4 boys walk into the pool house. They obviously were related to Viktor because they all had the same thick eyebrows and wild black-brown hair. Viktor introduced them as his brothers and sisters and then asked them if they wanted to join him and Hermione in the pool.
One of the sisters, Evelyn, asked if they all wanted to play pool volley ball. "My brother may be a vorld famous Quidditch player but he is not good in volley ball. Ve vill split up into teams of 7. Hermy-own-ninny vill you be on my team, Viktor vill be on the other team." Hermione excepted the offer and Viktor looked as if he was going to die right then and there.
The volley ball game would be played until a team reached 20 points. The Krum's were all very good except for Viktor who seemed to be the only one who could not get into the game. After an hour and a half the game ended when Hermione's and Evelyn's team won, 20-17.
The rest of the Krums said their good byes to Hermione and left for the house. Hermione showered and changed back into her clothes and meet Viktor outside of the pool house. "Vould you like to see a muggle town in Bulgaria? They are very interesting and you could learn a thing or two may, no."
"Sure that would be great! I wonder how different the culture is than London? Wow this could be very interesting." And they set off towards a Bulgarian muggle town. They spent several hours there, shopping and looking around the town. They ate diner in a small café and went for a walk in a small park on the out skirts of the city. Finally 10:30 came around and they made their way back to the Krum residents. By the time they had walked back it was 10:50.
"Well I had fun today Viktor, Thank you very much for such a lovely day." She reached up to give Viktor a hug, but Viktor leaned down and tried to kiss her. She turned her head and pushed him back. "Viktor I, I, I can't. I'm sorry." She cast her eyes downward, feeling like she had lead him on.
"Is it because of the red headed boy you talk about?" Viktor questioned. Hermione looked up in surprise, 'where had he gotten such an idea? I mean it can't be that evident, can it? I mean I am not even that sure if I like him.'
"I, I well .er. I'm not sure to tell you the truth. I just know that I don't feel that way towards you, Viktor. I told you that is my letters and when we said goodbye to each other at the end of the year."
"I know, I just vanted to try and see if you changed your mind. You tell Veasley that he is a very luck boy, and if he hurts you he vill haff to deal vith me and the rest of the Bulgarian Quidditch team." Viktor stated with a small smile. He gave Hermione a small hug and walked backwards watching her as she disappeared with a flick of her wrist (throwing the floo powder) and a shout of The Grangers.
