Sorry, I know nothing about accents. Don't get mad at me if I made
Viktor Krum this way. I'm sorry I made Viktor so shallow. He's
always been around with gorgeous women but they are only after the
famous Viktor and not the real person. He got the impression that
women of ordinary appearance look far deeper than model type ones.
Dale on the other hand believed famous people are all shallow. (Maybe
because of his brother.)
Title: Last Chance
Chapter 3: Dale
Hermione was upset to see Draco leave her behind. She liked spending time with Arabelle and stuff, but she is an adult. There's not much fun going around with her. Viktor wasn't fun either. He made it clear that he was busy with his career. He didn't even spend any time with her aside from the 3 meals. She was angry with Draco for not giving her any heads up. 'It's that letter. What was written there?' She couldn't help but feel concerned about him as well.
She absentmindedly got up from the bench and started to walk back to the mansion. She decided to pass time in Viktor's library, 'There could be books that could help me with Etheral.' She was too consumed in her thoughts that she didn't even see a guy walking towards her.
Arabelle on the other hand noticed everything. She saw how sad Hermione became as Draco left the premises. 'I hope she knows what's she's doing.' She also saw Viktor heading towards a guy who was spying on Hermione earlier. 'Now who could that be?'
~~~~~~~~~~
"Dale, you back so soon?" Viktor flew towards him.
"You seem disappointed, big brother."
Viktor shook his head clearly annoyed, "I thought you were supposed to get back next month?" He eyed him dangerously. "What did you do now?"
"Relax, I didn't do anything illegal." Dale wasn't really paying attention. He scanned for the girl that was sitting on a bench. "Now you've done it!" He got irritated when he didn't see her.
"What did I do?"
"Now she's gone!"
"Gone? Who?" He looked around to find anything out of the ordinary.
"The girl sitting on that bench." He pointed.
Viktor realized that he was talking about Hermione. He suddenly became defensive. "What about her?"
"You know her?" Dale thought incredulously. "From my experience I remember you avoided her kind."
Viktor rolled his eyes, "What is her kind?"
"You know, gorgeous women."
"Are you saying I only date ugly ones?"
"You said it, I didn't."
"Forgive me but I thought that you were avoiding her kind as well."
"What are you talking about?"
"I know for a fact that you don't date famous people."
"What?" Dale was really confused now, 'If she was that famous then I should have recognized her.'
"She's Harry Potter's best friend, the one I've been talking about. The girl I've talked about when I went to Hogwarts."
"Wait, wasn't Harry Potter's best friend a guy? Weasley, wasn't it?"
"Harry Potter has 2 best friends, one of them is Weasley and the other one is Hermione Granger."
"That's Hermione Granger!?!" Dale couldn't believe his ears. "That's the girl you've been mooning about all these time? I thought she wasn't that. pretty. Why didn't you tell me that she was coming?"
"I didn't think you were interested. She's also changed in more than one."
"You sound disappointed."
"Not really."
"You can't lie to me. You're disappointed that she became a knockout."
"That's not the only reason, I mean she came here along with Harry Potter's rival in Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy. She's really changed!" He paused and suddenly realized something, "And why am I talking about this with you. You shouldn't even be here. Why'd you leave your camp?"
"Cause it's BORING! They keep on making me try dangerous Seeker stunts when that's your forte. I'm born a Chaser."
"Whatever, you still should have stayed there."
"You wouldn't bring me back now would you?" Dale challenged.
Viktor just gave a sigh of defeat, "I have no choice now do I?"
Dale started walking away from Viktor to go search for Hermione. 'She may be famous but I can't say no to someone like her now could I?' Dale turned back to his brother to clear up something, "Would it be alright if I tried my luck?"
"I thought she's not your type?"
"Is that a yes or a no?" He avoided the question.
Viktor didn't answer; instead he grabbed his broom and went back into the air.
~~~~~~~~~~
Hermione for the first time didn't feel like doing anything. She found books that made use of ingredients for dark arts. Normally she wouldn't let go of the book but now, she just didn't feel like it. She put the book back in its proper place in the shelf and retreated to a chair by the window. 'I wonder how Harry and Ron are doing?'
'Stop thinking about them, you came here to forget about them didn't you? Besides, it doesn't look like they care at all.'
'I'm still giving them a benefit of the doubt.'
'Whatever you say! But look at it this way, if Ginny was able to tell Draco then what's stopping Ron from sending you an owl back?'
Her mind then drifted to Draco, the only person who seemed to understand her feelings when she heard someone enter the room.
'There she is!' Dale was glad to find her in the library. 'Viktor said that she's changed but it looks like the change was only skin deep.' He started walking towards her.
Hermione eyed him carefully, 'Who is he? I haven't seen him from Viktor's practices before.' She carefully scanned the intruder's appearance and she saw a vague familiarity of Viktor in him.
"Hi Hermione." Dale offered his hand.
Hermione didn't take it but stood up instead. "You know my name?" She raised an eyebrow either out of frustration or curiosity.
"How rude of me, I'm Dale." He expected her to know the rest of his name.
"That still doesn't explain how you found out my name."
"It was easy, I've seen you in the papers."
Hermione didn't believe him. She didn't trust him. She placed her hand on her wand just in case. "What are you doing here?"
"Excuse me?" Dale was really shocked at her question. 'She still doesn't know that I am Viktor's brother. This will be fun.' He couldn't help a smile creeping into his face.
"Why are you looking for me?"
"I heard from Viktor," he made sure that he emphasized his brother's name. "That you were visiting, I got curious and decided I want to meet you."
Hermione let go of her wand, 'Well since he knows Viktor.' "What do you want from me?"
"I just want to talk."
"Somehow I don't believe you."
"Well you are famous and all. I thought that maybe you could clear up some things about Harry Potter."
"I don't want to talk about it."
"Are you always this. accommodating?"
"Are you always this. let me think. sarcastic?"
"It seems like you two aren't getting along?" Viktor came through the library's door.
Hermione blushed a deep red. She felt embarrassed at being caught fighting with what she believed was Viktor's friend. She was just an ordinary guest after all. She could be kicked out and then where would she stay?
Dale was irritated at the interruption so he faced another way so that Viktor wouldn't see his scowl.
"I see you've met my baby brother Dale." Viktor gestured toward Dale.
Hermione blushed even harder. "He's your brother?"
Dale on the other hand didn't like Viktor's introduction. "Seems like I read your actions wrongly. That was a No wasn't it?" He glared at him.
Viktor dismissed it. "Hermione, do you have any plans for the week?"
Hermione kept her head low embarrassed. "Not really, I thought that I could go back home on Saturday."
"You're leaving early? You've only arrived last week."
Dale felt out of place as Viktor blocked his view.
"I've already wasted your time long enough."
"We haven't really spent time together have we?"
"No but."
"Think it over. Then on Saturday decide whether you want to prolong your stay."
"I'm afraid that I can't."
"Just think it over." He then started heading towards the door.
As soon as Viktor left the room Dale took his opportunity, "Why is it that you're different around my brother?"
Hermione felt alone, she could feel the change in Viktor and thought that she didn't even know him. And then there was Dale. "Maybe if you were half of what he is then."
Dale wouldn't let her finish, "So your saying, if I become a Quidditch hero then you'd like me as well?"
"I didn't say that."
"But you were insinuating it."
"Are you trying to tell me that I'm here because he's famous?"
"I don't know, you chose Harry Potter over him."
"What!?!"
"My brother may be famous but there's nobody in the wizarding world that hasn't heard of the name Harry Potter."
"Your joking right? I'm not a gold digger! For your information, Harry is a great guy!" She gave him icy glares before heading towards the door.
Dale grabbed her hand before she could escape. "Wait, I'm sorry. Can we start all over? We got off on the wrong foot. Give me another chance."
"You don't deserve any!" She faced him with anger in her eyes.
'God! How her eyes sparkle!' "I know, I know I've been a jerk. I just couldn't believe that there was any person so perfect in every way."
That reached her. She calmed herself. "Fine, but I'm doing this for Viktor's sake."
Dale twitched at his brother's name. 'This always happens, the girl I'm going for always chooses Viktor over me.' "I understand."
Hermione sighed, "What now?"
"Let's make the introductions formal?"
Hermione nodded in agreement.
"Hi! I'm Dale Krum, the younger and only brother of the Seeker Viktor Krum."
"That's not the way to introduce yourself."
Dale gave her a smile, admiring her more and more every minute. "How should I do it?"
"Well, you're introducing yourself and not your brother."
"I'm not used to those kinds of introductions. To most of the people, I'm just Viktor's brother nothing else."
"I know how you feel."
"You do?" Dale seemed skeptical, 'With a body like that.'
"For a long time now, I've been called, Harry Potter best friend and nothing more."
"I don't believe you."
"It looks like Viktor hasn't mentioned to you that I'm muggle-born."
"So what?"
Hermione was glad to hear his answer. 'There are some people aside from Gryffindors who don't care about lineages.' "Muggle-born witches don't really have a big place in the wizarding world, especially to purebloods."
"Where have you heard of such ideas?"
"Don't tell me you haven't heard." She teased.
Dale then became serious, "If you don't like being called Harry Potter's friend why don't you do something great or why not just leave him and look for other friends?"
Hermione wanted to tell him that she's working on his first suggestion but thought otherwise especially since she didn't trust him. "I really like Harry. He's a great guy. I would never find anybody else, well maybe aside from Ron, like him. Besides, he's already gone through so many hardships and I want to be there to support him. Also, the attention is not helping at all especially for Harry."
"How ironic, famous people want to escape it, when there are a lot of people who would give anything to receive such fame."
"Harry's life has always been under the microscope. I pity him. The moment he survived Voldemort was the same moment he lost his privacy."
"And you lost yours when you became his best bud."
"And you lost yours when your brother returned a hero."
"I think we should all stick together."
"We?" Hermione asked.
"We, famous people."
"Do you want to be ostracized?" She teased.
"I just thought it'll be easier to trust each other than people who could only be fortune seekers."
"You have a point." She gave him a wary smile.
'She's even more desirable with that gorgeous smile.' "Wow, we can get along."
"It was your fault."
"Right, now it's your turn to introduce yourself."
"Right." She extended her hand to him, "I'm Hermione Granger, I'm an incoming 7th grader in Hogwarts, hopefully, and in the muggle world, I'm also a part time model."
~~~~~~~~~~
The week flew by easily. Every night Hermione and Viktor would go out to a private restaurant where they could eat and talk. Viktor found out that she really didn't change at all. She maybe gorgeous now but her convictions was still intact. He regretted the time he wasted during the 1st week. He did his best to make the last week as enjoyable as much as possible so that he can buy another week of her presence.
But she wouldn't budge. Sure she had fun not only with Viktor, but also with Dale, but there was still something missing. She missed Draco's company; after all, he was the only one who understood her. It didn't feel right to be having fun when Draco was not beside her. She was also worried at what could happen to him especially because of the trip. 'His father wouldn't possibly hurt him would he?'
As much effort that Viktor gave, Hermione refused to stay. Viktor even tried to plan a party for her but she didn't like the idea as well since she doesn't know anybody within miles.
Saturday came, the time Hermione would be hailing for the Knight Bus. She had no regrets leaving the mansion. But she did dread the moment that she'll reach her home. She was already being punished before and now it scared her because she had gone overboard and she knew it. She could only imagine what her punishment would be like. 'Oh well, goodbye Hogwarts. Maybe this time it will be forever.'
~~~~~~~~~~
As the Knight Bus started to leave the grounds Viktor pulled his brother aside for an ingenious plan. "Dale, what would you say if you'd transfer to another school for your last year?"
"Look man, I don't know what's going in your head anymore. First, you didn't argue when I asked if I could make my move on her. Then you come barging in stopping me. And now you're asking me to go to her school? What the hell are playing at?"
"I just thought that you could look her over. Harry Potter and."
Dale didn't bother hearing his brother out when his mind started pumping juice into his head. 'Wait a minute, when I'm in Hogwarts Viktor won't see what I'm doing. It won't be my fault if she falls for me instead. Maybe I'll go.' "Fine, just don't send me back to that camp ok?"
The 2 brothers shook hands in agreement. What they don't know was that Harry is the least of their problems. Draco posed more of a threat.
~~~~~~~~~~
Hermione took several deep breaths before entering her house. She was shaking inside. She knew she'd gone overboard and she was afraid of the consequences. She couldn't believe she risked everything just to spite her friends. Then she heard a very demanding and very familiar voice coming from inside. She turned the knob of their door and let herself in. One of her hands was resting on her wand just in case. She found that the voices were coming from the kitchen. She took a peek at the person talking. She saw her mother drinking tea, listening to the voice. Hermione gasped at the realization that the voice came from Draco Malfoy.
