Three months later
During the dinner three months ago, Viktor watched as he saw the way the two clicked immediately. There had been a huge amount of flirtation and they seemed oblivious to the fact that everybody else had been there. They were like Romeo and Juliet all over again with love and first sight, without the terrible tragic ending. Then there had been the snogging... That had resulted with an explosive Ronald Weasley but the two managed to make it out alive. Nobody had been hurt, apart from Ron, who had left the restaurant with a bloody fist from smashing a glass into bits.
Atanas and Rosey were on a on and off relationship, just as Rosey had with Scorpius. Even it being so, Atanas' game with Quidditch had improved and he was playing better than he ever had before. He hadn't been dropped on international level but had been dropped by his league team on the same day he sort of gotten together with Rosey. He was now signed into the Chudley Cannons and playing along side McLaggen who's daughter was engaged to Rosey's ex boyfriend.
Viktor had received a lot of fanmail over the month and some presents. Albeit retiring from the sport, it appeared that people still loved him. He modeled for magazines and acted in wizard films now. He had tried not to ignore most of the letters but in the end, had destroyed them all as they all had the same thing written on them. 'I love you,', 'Marry me', blah blah blah.
He had received a letter from his daughter too who had asked him to allow her to transfer to Hogwarts so that she could study along side Lorcan. Viktor would prefer his daughter to finish her education at Beauxbatons but his daughter had a mind of her own and was stubborn, just like her mother had been.
He was currently writing a letter to Minerva McGonagall, asking for permission to allow a place for her daughter.
"Hey Dad!" Atanas called out before entering the living room.
"What is up?"
"I was wondering..."
"Yes?"
"If I could have the ring you gave Mother when you asked her to marry her. I know that you keep it in the tiny box under your pillow."
Viktor knew where this was going and he raised an eyebrow, hoping that his son wasn't going to do what he knew he was going to do.
"You're not planning to ask Rosey to marry you, are you?" he asked. "You know that she won't say yes to you- yet. Be patient."
"But I want her now." he moaned.
"Be patient. Patients is everything."
"Patients got you nowhere with Hermione, father." he said. "I know you loved mother, but it was a different kind of love. I saw the way you looked at mother. It was rather out of pity."
Viktor was hurt by the comment his son made but did his best to ignore it. He had truly loved his dead wife. "Patients with Hermione has brought Rosey to you, Atanas. I wasn't meant to be with Hermione, but things are different for you Atanas. I don't want you to lose something you can have. Be patient."
"Give me the ring anyway."
