Hermione sat in front of the fire in the common room, quill in hand. She had received a letter from her boyfriend Viktor in Bulgaria that morning, and was eager to reply.

She hadn't actually seen him since the Triwizard Tournament, but they were still…and item. Yes, they were still 'together'.

Hermione, although she wasn't about to let it show, really liked Viktor. She badly wanted the relationship to last.

She scribbled away, happy in the knowledge that he would be hearing from her soon. She heard someone lower himself or herself into the armchair next to her. Turning to look in their direction, she saw it was Ron.

'Hi. I'm just writing a letter, it'll only take a few minutes. Is Harry still at Quidditch practice?'

'Yeah.' Ron said, giving her his full attention. 'Who're you writing to?'

'Oh,' Hermione replied, blushing furiously, 'Viktor.'

Ron sighed and got up to walk away. He climbed the stairs to the dormitories, without saying another word.

Which left Hermione wondering.
