"You look veautifil Herm-o-ninny!" Krum had said the night of the Yule Ball.



But that was last year. This is now. Viktor Krum wasn't part of Hermione's life anymore and he wouldn't be anytime soon, no matter how much she wished for it. And even if wishes could come true, she didn't know if she would want it to. Earlier that summer she had found out some disturbing information about Viktor. He was a Death Eater. No one was more surprised than Hermione. At first she refused to believe it, but she knew the person who told her would never lie about something so serious. Sirius Black, Harry's godfather. He had been wandering the streets of London in his anamagi form and had heard Viktor talking to Lucius Malfoy about their next attack on the wizarding world. The word had first been given to Dumbledore who had quickly made preparations to stop the plans. Then Sirius had given word of it to Harry who had even more quickly notified Hermione that her "boyfriend" was working behind her back and against her. She decided that it would be the safest to stay away from Viktor for awhile, just to see if anything new developed and showed that Viktor was innocent. Nothing came up that showed Viktor wasn't a Death Eater so Hermione decided to break off all contact with him. This would have worked, him just sending letters, and she not writing back. But then one of Viktor's letters asked her to come stay with him for a few weeks. She of course wasn't going to go, but she so much wanted to write to him one last time. She had trouble picturing him as a Death Eater rather than the sweet, shy, romantic boy she knew him to be. So she wrote to him, one last time:



Dear Viktor,

I am sorry I have neglected writing to you. I have been very busy here at home. That is also the reason why I cannot come to visit you. I have so much to do here at home and I have loads of homework. I really wish I could visit you but it doesn't seem possible. And Viktor I have put much thought into this, but I think we should break up. It's just that we never are able to see each other anymore and. I think it is for the best. I love you Viktor.

Love, Hermione

And it ended there. She never received a letter back from him. Which bring us to today. Hermione was shopping for new school uniforms at Diagon Alley. Just as she was leaving the checkout counter, she saw a familiar face walk through the door.



A/N: Okay everyone I know this chapter is short and I did that on purpose because it is the prologue. The other chapters will be much longer. I started the story because I had a really good plot idea and it wouldn't fit into any of my other stories. I hope I can get a lot more reviews for this story than I did for my others. Thanks for reading and please REVIEW!!!
