Hermione nodded her head but headed over to her cousin with Viktor in tow, Angelika was talking with her friends when Hermione got over there. "I'm going to go for a walk with Viktor I'll be home later okay." she nodded and Hermione headed out with Viktor next to her.

They didn't speak for ten minutes they wanted to just get away from all of the people and go somewhere where no one will bother them. Viktor sat down on the bench that they found and Hermione followed suit. "Herm-Own-Ninny vat is vong that you had looked so sad in their?" he asked her hoping she would tell him. Hermione sighed heavily not really wanting to tell him what is wrong but knowing she would have to do it. She leaned back and closed her eyes.

"As you know we had to go to war right?" She began and when he nodded she continued. "My family as I told you during the triwizard tournament are muggles, they had no clue of what had been going on during my time at school. I meant to keep them in the dark and not let them know about the war that had finally ended five months ago." Viktor nodded in remembering about it, the war itself had taken place on the Hogwarts grounds in Britain; every good witch and wizard who weren't afraid to die and fight for a cause joined in and tried to defeat Voldemort.

Many died on both sides; he knew Hermione was friends with Harry Potter who was the one who would eventually defeat Voldemort he just didn't know what part she exactly played. He desperately hoped that she wasn't in the direct fighting of Voldemort that would have been a terrible experience.

"I was with Harry, Ron and some of our other classmates who didn't want Voldemort to come back we were in the front line of defense in direct contact with him and hopefully to destroy him forever.

Harry and Ron were fighting for their lives and I was covering some of the others while I was being attacked as well. Harry after the war was in a comma for three in a half months; he married Ginny before the war ended so that they would have some time together at least; they never got a honeymoon because of the war that's what they are on now. Lavender died fighting to get to Ron, he was surrounded, all of us tried to get to him. His mother and father, brothers and sister; Harry and I Ron's girlfriend we all did." Hermione took a deep breath and continued her speech or whatever it is she is doing.

"The death eaters surrounded him or at least the ones that we weren't fighting five against one isn't that good of chances. When we had gotten to him and fought off and defeated the things we could he was dead. One of my best friends dead because we couldn't get to him in time and save him. It's my fault, I am one of the brightest witches Hogwarts has ever seen so why couldn't I save him." she said to herself now fully crying.

Viktor seeing her crying couldn't stand seeing girls cry took her into his arms and rubbed her back soothingly. "Herm-Own-Ninny it vill be fine, you vill alvays haff your friend Harry. He's not going anyvere anytime soon. And I vill alvays be a friends and you can see me anytime you vant to Herm-Own-Ninny. Don't blame yourself if is not your fault is vas meant to happen since it happened."

Hermione nodded but still didn't let go of Viktor who was quite comfortable with where Hermione was. Hermione fell asleep finally, Viktor didn't realize this until he tried to pull her off of him and she wouldn't let go. He tried again and the same thing happened again, he smirked at her and picked her up. "It looks as though you are going to have to come home vid me Herm-Own-Ninny vont you." He apperated to his apartment.

Viktor took Hermione to his bed room and settled her under the covers then he himself got under the covers with her. Hermione unconsciously snuggled closer to Viktor and he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer so she was warmer then she would have been.

Viktor kissed the top of Hermione's head and went to sleep thinking of Hermione and wanting her love so much, he loves her as more than friends. He is afraid though that she doesn't see him as that and that she will reject him and not want to see him ever again.
