~I called you last night in the hotel
Everyone knows but they won't tell
But their half-hearted smiles tell me something just ain't right
I've been waiting on you for a long time
Filling up on heartaches and cheap wine
I ain't heard from you in three damn nights~

Hermione was in the kitchen fixing herself dinner when she just couldn't take it anymore. She hadn't talked to Harry in days, and so she picked up the phone and called his hotel.

One of his "assistants" answered the phone.

"Hullo, may I please speak with Harry?"

"Er.........he's busy, would you like to leave a message?" the man said gruffly.

"No that's ok" Hermione sighed and hung up the phone.

She grabbed her dinner from the stove, got a bottle of wine from the refrigerator, and plopped herself down on the couch to watch "Sleepless in Seattle", her favorite muggle movie. She ran out of wine less than half way through the movie so she simply conjured 2 more bottles from the fridge, feeling too depressed to even get up from the couch.

Hermione was startled awake by the phone ringing. "Maybe it's Harry!" she thought as she eagerly leapt up to answer it. "Hullo?"

"Hello, Hermy-own-ninny"

"Viktor!....Hi..." Hermione was a little surprised to hear from him. Even though they had dated back in 5th year and were still fairly close friends, Viktor Krum did not normally call her up at....she glanced at her watch...11:00 at night.

"I heard about you and Potter"

"Oh" was all Hermione could think to say.

"And I vanted to let you know that I am sorry...and also...if I could take you out to dinner tomorrow night, because knowing you, you have not gotten out of your flat since it happened."

Hermione considered his offer for a moment, "It would be nice to get out of the house...and it would be nice to see Viktor as well" she thought to herself

"Sure" she finally said aloud, "that sounds lovely".

"Good....I vill be at your place at 6 then."

"Ok...goodnight Viktor"

"G'night Herm o ninny"

~The Next Evening~

Hermione sat on her bed with her favorite picture in her hand. It was of her and Harry on their 1 year anniversary. The picture had been taken in her garden, by the roses surrounding the fountain. *Sigh* "We looked so happy and in love then" Hermione thought as she saw the Harry in the picture tickle her picture self. Tears started forming in her eyes as she realized that Harry was not going to call her, he was probably out flirting with other girls this very moment.

She was pulled from her thoughts as she heard the doorbell ring. "At least I have Krum to take my mind off of things tonight"

~I put your picture away
I wonder where you've been
I can't look at you while I'm lying next to him

I put your picture away
I wonder where you've been
I can't look at you while I'm lying next to him~

As Hermione stood, she walked over to her vanity and shoved the picture she had been holding into the bottom drawer. She composed herself then went downstairs to greet Viktor.

The two shared a nice dinner and a wonderful conversation. They caught up on what had been going on in each others lives, and reminisced back on their younger years.

After dinner they were back at on Hermione's doorstep, "I meant vhat I said earlier Hermione, you look absolutely breath-taking. Potter vas a fool to break your heart."

"Thank you Viktor", Hermione said shyly while a blush crept over her face. She looked up into his deep and mesmerizing eyes and her breath caught in her throat. His eyes were so magical, "Er, Viktor....would you like to come inside?" Krum grinned, "I vould love to" he said with a deep voice filled with lust.
