Hermione crouched down on the cold tiled floor her hands unconciously running back and forth over her lips. Suddenly the portait door opened again and to her amazement it was Cedric. He ran to her and kissed her again this time it was warm and passionate.

"Ahem," Ginny coughed from the portrait opening. Hermione smiled and wiped her mouth. Cedric shrugged and smiled, "later babe" he said walking out the portrait door. He left the girls in a fit of giggles.

"Later babe." Ginny said in a very manly voice, then brokeout into a fit of giggles again.

"Shut up ginny, wat was it that harry said last nite I do believe it was 'Hey you sexay thang you.'" Hermione said immitating her best friend.

"Hermione I hate you that was mortifying enough when he said it especially infront of my brothers and the whole school." Ginny cried out in shame.

"Oh don't worry you sexy thing we can't all hav our dashing prince cedric charming, like….me"

"But I have Boy wonder at my side" Ginny said dramatically.

"Whats he going to do amaze them with his lightning bolt scar?" Hermione laughed.

"I do believe my boyfriend, gave your boyfriend the heads up about the dragon so my boyfriend, saved your boyfriends life."Ginny said.

"Well my boyfriend told your boyfriend how to open the golden egg so he wouldn't drown. SO there our boyfriends are even. Thou im pretty sure Cedric's a better kisser then harry could ever be."

"Sure Hermione wateva makes you happy." Ginny laughed hopping into the giant bubble bath.

Later that day Hermione and Ginny headed down to the great hall to find Harry and Ron. Seeing as they weren't at breakfast it meant they slept in and knowing Ron his stomach would be attacking him from the inside right about now.

Ginny nudged hermione when she spotted the boys and made a beeline for their table. Hermione walked to the gryffindor table although she was still off in daydream land when suddenly an arm reached out and grabbed her and pulled her onto a seat. Hermione turned her head and came face to face with Cedric.

"Cedric what are you doing?" Hermione said in a harsh tone.

"Grabbing my girlfriend." He replied smiling and leaning in to kiss her.

"So I'm your girlfriend now am I?"

"Well I certainly hope so."
"I don't remember you asking me, Mr Diggory." Hermione said smiling in her head. She was about to get Cedric to ask her out, for real this time.

"Well miss Granger would you do me the honour of being my girlfriend?" Cedric asked as the entire student and teacher population looked on with interest.

"Please Cedric, cut the honour crap and ask me out like a normal person." Hermione said.

"But you're not a normal person. You're a weird little Gryffindor, who reads to much for her own good." Cedric smirked.

"Good mornink Her-my-oh-nee" came the familiar accent of Viktor Krum, "Is this boy botherink you?" he asked.

"Well other than the fact that he just called me an abnormal, weird little Gryffindor, bookworm, I'd have to say no, but then again." Hermione said getting up and walking off with Viktor after being very much annoyed by Cedric's joking manner. She didn't care if he called her weird or little but what always hurt her were the bookworm quotes, like get your nose out of that book it's a beautiful day or you read too much. Cedric had been her friend for so long that he should know just how annoyed she gets when people call her a bookwormy little prude.

"So did you haff a good time last night?" Viktor asked smiling at Hermione.

"It was like a fairytale." She sighed.

"Did you get your happy endink?"

"Not yet." Hermione laughed.

"I was wonderink if sometime during the summer, you mite like to visit me in Bulgaria at my home." Viktor asked shyly, Hermione smiled, he was cute when he went all shy. Maybe she had been chasing after the wrong guy.

"I think I'd like that very much" Hermione smiled again.

Hogwarts halls were a buzz the next morning as Hermione sat down at the Gryffindor table, almost no-one in the great hall. Hermione was buttering her toast as she chatted animatedly to Ginny about the girls' relationship with Dean when suddenly teen witch weekly was slammed onto the table and someone fled the great hall in anger. Hermione quickly looked over her shoulder at the figure leaving and realized it was Cedric. She frowned and turned back to the headline of the popular magazine. The title slanted across the cover "The Champion and The Bookworm' sat next to a giant picture of Viktor Krum smiling down at her and futher down in italics was her conversation with Krum from the day before.

It read

Viktor Krum world reknowned seeker and Triwizard champion has fallen for Harry Potters very own bookworm Hermione Granger. One of our sources have managed to overhear a short conversation yesterday morning. Is Viktor Krum in love?

"I was wonderink if sometime during the summer, if you mite like to visit me in Bulgaria at my home." Viktor asked shyly, Hermione smiled.

"I think I'd like that very much" Hermione smiled again.

Looks like our favourite bachelor may be off the market ladies

Hermione shrugged at Ginny who was reading over her shoulder

"I'm not talking to him, I can visit whoever I want to and he called me a bookwormy little prude." Hermione said looking at Ginny.

"However you want to see it Mione but you know he was only joking and you both know Viktor has a crush on you. And you should know by now that you're a bookworm and that cedric loves you even though you're a little bookish." Ginny justified.

"I can't believe you're taking his side." Hermione said outraged by Ginny's take on her relationship.

"And I can't believe how stupid you're being." Ginny said walking away.
