Thanks for reviewing!!!
Chapter 5: Alone
Hermione fingered the large blue stone she wore around her neck. She was back in Bulgaria, waiting for Krum to come to bed. She shoved the thought out of her head. No, she wasn't ready for that. She just wanted him there. However, he had went out and left her alone in his big castle for Quidditch practice hours ago. All of his servants had gone to bed, and here she was, feeling more alone than ever. Why had she come? What was she doing here? She walked to the bed, laid down, and stared at the clock. The minute hand was pointed at Viktor's name, the hour hand at "out". But out where? It had moved from the word "practice" ages ago, and she thought that it would be on the word "traveling" by now. She closed her eyes, and fell into a fitful sleep.
When Hermione woke, the fresh rays of sunlight were filtering in through the windows. She looked beside her at the empty portion of the bed, and then at the clock. It said he was home. She got up, and walked into the hall. She spotted him coming out of a guest room, and ran over to him. "Viktor!"
Viktor gave a small jump and then turned to her. "Hermy-own-ninny!"
"Where were you all night?" she asked. "I missed you," she said, circling her arms around his neck.
"I… I vas out with the team," he said. "Ve had a vew drinks."
"Oh," she said. "Well, now that you're here, why don't we go for a walk or something?"
He shook his head. "Maybe later. I'm a bit tired," and he walked past her into their room and lay down on the bed.
Hermione gritted her teeth. She had come all this way to spend time with him, and he was ignoring her. She walked into the room and sat on the foot of the bed. "Viktor, I'm going back to Hogwarts today,"
He rubbed his forehead.
"We haven't spent any time together,"
"And I told you, vime and again to transfer vo here," he said angrily.
"You know I can't do that," she spat. "my life is there, I want to finish there."
He sighed loudly. "I'm vorry, I'm just very busy. I promise, vext time."
"Okay," she said quietly, feeling a tad guilty.
