Hermione was being restrained by one of Malfoy's dumb buddies, and tried to remember the spell that would repel someone off of her if she were being attacked. Well, it wasn't really a spell; it was an inner mind thing. She remembered it and whispered, "la difesa" and imagined Crabbe or Goyle fly off of her. Sure enough, it worked, and she turned around to see Goyle lying on the ground motionless. She took advantage of the situation and shouted, "Stupefy!" Goyle lay there, stunned. Hermione turned her to face Draco, who was staring at her in amazement. "I see you've learned the Defense Un-Bind," said Draco, with a hint of excitement in his tone. "But you'll need to know more to get out of this one," he said as he shot a spell at Hermione.
Hermione dodged it and yelled to Draco, "Malfoy, stop this right now!" "Oh yea, I'm going to stop," said Draco laughing. "Expelliarmus!" yelled Hermione, making Draco's wand fly out of his hands and into Hermione's hands. "I am taking you to Professor Dumbledore immediately. "Aren't you forgetting who I'm connected to, Grange?" Draco asked. "I know your father is a scum bag who is know in Azkaban with many other death eaters who will stay there forever." Said Hermione, coolly. "You shouldn't have said that, mudblood," he said as he launched at her, "Impedimenta!" yelled Hermione, making Draco halt in midair. She magically tied both Goyle and Malfoy's hands and feet together and went to the nearest Professors office.
The nearest one was the Defense Against the Dark Arts office. Not really concentrating at the feast, she was unaware who the new teacher was. She knocked gently and who came to the door was a complete surprise.
It was Viktor Krum. "Viktor!" exclaimed Hermione as she grabbed him and pulled him into a hug. "Hermione," he said (he finally had mastered her name). "What are you doing here?" asked Hermione. "Teaching, of course. Dumbledore employed me, seems I know more about Darks Arts than he does." "Really?" said Hermione. "Well, the true reason I came here was because this was the closest office, and I was just attacked by two students." She saw Viktor's face and added, "But they got the worst of it, I'm glad to say." "Well then, take me to them," he said in a superior voice.
Hermione directed him to Draco and Goyle, who had woken up, but were still tied together. Viktor couldn't help but burst out laughing. Draco, also unaware he was teacher, said, "Shut up you mudblood lover!" Viktor immediately became serious. "Excuse me, young man. But I think u should call me Professor Krum. Fifteen points will be taken away for your lack of respect for a teacher, and ten for attacking a prefect, and I believe Miss Granger took five points too, so I believe your total is thirty points deducted. And you can spend your detention with me at 6 o'clock tomorrow night. Good night, Hermoine. Would you like me to walk you to your common room?" he said as he magically made the ropes disappear and watch Draco and Goyle leave. "Sure," replied Hermione.
They walked back to the common room, hand in hand and talking about how each of their summers went. "You were attacked by dementors?" said Viktor, bewildered. "Yes, and I managed to get rid of them but now I have a hearing tomorrow," said Hermione dully. "But they'll keep you, they just have to have a hearing so it seems fair. And you know what? I will make sure I'm there," said Viktor. "Oh thank-you so much Viktor, you are so sweet."
She reached up and gave him a hug. It was so embracing. Hermione broke from him a few inches and turned her head a kissed him. To be in his arms was so comforting, thought Hermione. He kissed her back but then parted, "I'm a teacher, Hermione. And you're a student. If we continued this, we have to keep it a secret."
Hermione was so dazed by being in someone's arms again she barely realized he had said, "If we continue this." He had said, "If".
