Chapter 3:
It was a week before Christmas, A week before the Yule Ball. Everybody was getting excited about the dance. Girls are getting exciting while Boys are nervous.
One day in the library doing her homework, Viktor Krum came up to her this time without his fanclub with him. "Excuse me may I sit vith you?" he asked looking at her. Hermione moved her books so he could sit down. "Sure" she said. So he sat down next to her.
"I've been trying to talk to you for a vhile now" he said
"About what?" she asked.
"I've vhonder to know if you vant to go vith me to the Yule Ball?" he asked
"You want me to go with you?" she questioned.
"Yes I vould like to take you if vou would said yes" said Viktor.
"Unless somebody already asked you," said Viktor watching her expression.
"Nobody asked me except for you" said Hermione.
"Vell?" asked Viktor.
Hermione thought for a few seconds
"Yes I'll go with you to the Yule Ball" she said
Viktor smiled and got up.
"I've send a owl about the details where to meet me," said Hermione.
"Ok" said Viktor smiling down at Hermione.
"See you then," said Viktor then he left the Library.
Right after the Library door closed. Viktor started heading back to the ship, he stopped walking and grabbed the necklace that he's been hiding under his shirt. It looked like the same necklace that Hermione's wearing except his piece was the opposite of hers.
"I vonder vhen I going to see this future bride of mine" he said to himself as he tucked the necklace back into his shirt and left Hogwarts and went back into the boat. Not knowing that he just asked his future bride to be to go to the Yule Ball to him.
Later that night in the Griffindor's Girls bedroom. Hermione just came back into the room from the bathroom in her pajamas.
"So did anybody asked you to the Yule Ball yet Ginny?" asked Hermione as she got into her bed.
"Yeah, I going with Neville Longbottom" said Ginny.
"It's either going with him or not go at all being I a third year" said Ginny as she also got into bed.
"Anybody asked you yet Hermione?" questioned Ginny.
"You wouldn't believe who I going with?' said Hermione.
"Don't tell me Viktor Krum asked you himself," said Ginny.
Hermione nodded her head up and down.
Ginny jumped out of bed exciting. "I can't believe your going with Krum," she said as she sat down on Hermione's bed.
"All of the girls from his fanclub going to be real jealous of you" said Ginny
"I know," said Hermione getting exciting about the idea of Krum taking her to the Yule Ball.
The next few days went by fast. Ron and Harry tried to ask girls to go with them but they keep saying no. Harry and Ron finally got a break when a girl from Griffindor and her twin sister said yes.
The night of the Yule Ball came and all the girls from Hogwarts started to get ready for the ball. The school looked empty except for all the boys outside throwing enchantment snowballs at each other.
Ginny was the first to be done. She looked stunning. Her long red hair was up. Her green dress was beautiful on her. She went down to the common room waiting to see Hermione in her dress.
Ron and Harry were already down there when she finally came down.
Ron and Harry's mouth dropped when Ginny came down.
"You look very pretty," said Harry
Ginny blushed
"Thanks Harry" said Ginny.
"So who's taking Hermione?" asked Ron
"Your find out soon" she said
Hermione finally came down.
Both Harry and Ron were speechless when they saw Hermione.
She looked Beautiful. Wearing a light blue dress and her hair all up. Ginny noticed that she wasn't wearing her necklace.
"Where your necklace?" asked Ginny
"I decided to take it off for one night" Hermione said as they started headed out of the common room.
Everybody had a good time at the ball. To Hermione, it was magical. She and Viktor danced the night away. Had a few drinks, danced again. Viktor was really a gentleman when he escorted her to the stairs. "I had a very fun time vith you, Herm-own-ninny" he said before he gently kissed her. Hermione opened her eyes after he pulled back. "I'll see you tomorrow" he said as he bowed to her and then turned around and head back to Durmstrang's boat.
Hermione just stood there watching him leave. Ginny and Neville was heading her way. "Hermione did I just see Viktor Krum kissing you?" asked Ginny.
Hermione looked at her and gave Ginny the biggest smile she could give.
"Tell me the details as soon as we're in the common room" she said as Hermione, Ginny and Neville headed towards the fat lady.
"Password Please" said the Fat Lady
"Magical" said Ginny. Then the Fat Lady opened and the three of them climbed though to the Griffindor's Common room. Neville headed to bed while Ginny and Hermione sat down on the couch.
After Hermione told Ginny everything, Ginny felt happy for her best friend.
"This night was so magical I'll never forget it," said Hermione.
"I knew it, you are helpless in love with Viktor Krum" said Ginny as both girls headed towards their room.
"The problem is this stupid Betrothal necklace," said Hermione as she picked up the necklace.
"How can I do this to myself, I am promised to other wizard" Hermione said as she gotten into her pajamas and hop into bed.
"I don't know but we're figure something out tomorrow" said a sleeping Ginny.
