Viktor opened his eyes. He smiled, today was going to be a good day. He got up and dressed in jeans and a red shirt. He grabbed his firebolt, deciding to fly around for a while. He walked out of his cabin and down the stairs and crossed the dock to get to Hogwarts grounds. He got on his broom and lifted into the air and zoomed off, wondering where Hermione was.
'In class, idiot.' He thought to himself. He frowned and flew around the
castle.
Hermione sighed as she looked in her notebook. She was trying to work hard on her potions essay due within the hour. Ron and Harry were talking about the Yule ball and who they were going to take, or yet, the lack of a date.
"At least we won't be the only ones without a date, poor Neville." Harry stated looking from his essay.
"Yeah, but Neville can take himself." Ron teased. They both snickered at the snide comment.
"Actually, it might interest you to know that Neville already has a date." Hermione stated sharply, not looking up. Ron groaned loudly and rubbed his head. He started to say something to Harry when Snape walked over with a notebook in hand and smacked Harry and Ron in the head. They groaned softly.
George looked over and tossed a note to Ron. It read:
'Hurry and get a date, or all the good ones will have gone.'
Ron sighed, "Who you goin' with?" He mouthed to his brother. George smiled and pointed to a dark girl sitting across the table. Ron groaned.
"Hermione. You're a girl!" He exclaimed.
"Well spotted Ron." She whispered looking at him.
"Well, its okay for a guy to go alone, but for a girl it's just sad." Harry tapped Ron's shoulder and groaned when Snape glared at Hermione and hit Harry and Ron again with a notebook and pushed their head's into their book.
Hermione went back to writing, her anger welling up. She looked up outside the window when something caught her eye. There on a broom sitting outside the window, was Viktor Krum.
Her eyes widened. He waved slightly and smiled at her. He made a motion asking what time would she be done. She held up one finger and smiled at him. 'Why?' she mouthed. He looked at her, not understanding what she said.
Suddenly the window flew open, startling Viktor to the point where he jumped and leaned back so far he fell of his broom and landed on his butt about five feet down.
"Mr. Krum, you may be famous, but that doesn't give you the right to distract my students." Snape hissed at him and glared. He slammed the window and looked over at Hermione.
"Ms. Granger, concentrate on your work, not on boys." He sneered at her. Hermione looked down quickly and wrote her name on the essay and handed it to him.
"Just so you know, I have a date to the ball." She snarled at Ron. He glared back at her and snorted.
"She's lying" He stated.
"Sure, whatever you say." Harry rolled his eyes and turned his essay in, along with Ron's.
"What was that about in class today?" Harry asked Hermione as they walked in a large room with the other Gryffindors. There was McGonagall and Filtch standing by a huge record player.
"Don't worry about it!" Hermione hissed and sat next to Ginny.
"I saw Viktor fly by the window!" Ginny chatted excitedly Hermione smiled "Yeah, he fell off his broom, stupid Snape." She frowned.
"Quite down. Quite down. Now as you know the Yule ball is a tradition that follows the tri-wizard tournament. It is after a formal DANCE." McGonagall's voice cut though the loud noise in the room.
"Yeah, duh." Ron snorted loudly.
"Mr. Weasley. You can demonstrate the waltz with me then, since you know how." Ron looked horrified.
"Fred, George, you're not going to let him forget this are you?" Harry asked laughing as Ron took McGonagall's waist.
"Never." They both said laughing.
"Join in students." McGonagall said as she and Ron danced.
Hermione and Ginny stood up and sighed as all the boys coughed nervously. Hermione and Ginny sighed and sat back down, waiting for the class to end.
Hermione walked outside and saw Viktor with all of his friends laughing and wrestling around. She stopped, suddenly feeling shy and started to turn.
"Her-mo-ninny!" Viktor jogged up to her and smiled.
"Hey Viktor." She said shyly. Why was she like this? Yesterday she was teasing him.
"Come. Ve not bite. Hard." He winked at her. She laughed at his attempt to flirt.
They walked over and his friends stood up and got in a line. "Her-mo-ninny." They all bowed quickly. She blinked.
"Hello." She stepped back. She was intimidated by all these men.
'Hermione Jean Granger, you have stood up to three headed dogs, fought Voldemort and your scared of a few men?' she chastised herself.
"Ve not scare! Ve got hit vast time..." Alexei frowned.
"Well, I can't stay long, I have to get ready for tonight…" She said stepping back once again, only to run into Viktor. She turned and gasped and stepped on his foot.
"Sorry!" She said.
"Is fine. Get ready da?" He watched as she quickly walked back into the castle and break into a run as she entered the hallway. She ran all the way up to the common room, narrowly missing Malfoy in the process.
"Watch it mud-blood!" He sneered at her. She kept running.
She stopped and breathed deeply. Ginny walked down and grabbed her.
"Let's start on your hair and make-up missy." Hermione let Ginny drag her up to her room.
Hermione sat on the bed as Ginny cast spells and charms on her hair to lay flat. Then she proceeded to elegantly twist her hair into a ponytail on the top of her head, leaving ringlets down in her face and curled the ends of her hair. After she was done with that she applied foundation and a small amount of blush on. She told Hermione to close her eyes; she applied eyeliner and pink eye shadow. She smiled and handed her mascara to put on. Hermione smiled as she looked at herself in the mirror. It was time for the dress and shoes to be put on. Ginny walked out and quickly put her dress on and walked back in.
"Oh Ginny! You look so pretty!" Hermione admired her friend. Her dress was a soft greenish blue with a punk sash around the waist and delicate embroidery on the collar.
"Your turn Hermione!" Ginny said excitedly. Hermione walked into her closet and slipped out of her clothes and put on her strapless bra. She slipped on the baby pink frilly dress on and zipped up the back and slipped on her high heels.
Hermione walked out and Ginny squealed. "Mione' it's beautiful!" Hermione blushed.
Ginny left before Hermione, she said she would meet Neville early. Hermione sat on her bed. She was starting to get nervous. What had she gotten herself into?
Ron frowned as he looked in the mirror. "Bloody hell….bloody hell..." He looked at his coat and messed with his ruffly collar. He looked at the door as Harry walked in with his dress robes on.
"What are those?" He asked. Harry looked at himself.
"My dress robes?" He answered looking Ron up and down.
"Murder me Harry. They smell like my great aunt Tissy." She sniffed under his arm. Harry rolled his eyes and grabbed him by the arm and dragged him out.
"Stop picking at it" Harry hissed as Ron pulled at his collar.
"Boys." The Patil twins smiled.
"Don't you look…dashing…" Padma commented.
"Oh! There you are! Are you and miss Patil ready Potter?" McGonagall walked over to them.
"Ready, professor?" He asked.
"To dance, its tradition for the three, or in this case four, champions start the first dance… surely I told you that."
"No, professor…" He answered nervously.
"Oh. Well, now you know." She walked off to find the others after telling Ron to escort Ms. Patil into the ball room.
"She's beautiful!" Pavati said looking at the stairs.
"Yeah, she is." Harry looked at Cho. She was indeed beautiful
Harry turned around to see Hermione walking down the stairs. Viktor smirked and walked over and meet her at the end of the staircase. He bowed and kissed her hand. She smiled as she tucked her arm into his. They lined up and walked through the grand hall. Viktor nodded to Alexei and his other friends.
"Is that Hermione Granger. With Viktor Krum?" Padma asked Ron.
"No. Absolutely not." His face turned red with anger.
Hermione and Viktor got ready to dance. He took her waist and they started to dance, He lifted her up and smiled at her. She laughed and kept spinning with him; Cedric looked at the ground concentrating on not messing up; Harry looked like he was in pain, as he was no good at dancing; Dumbledore and Minevera soon joined the dancing along with Hagrid and Olympe. Everyone was happily dancing, even Draco who went with Pansy Parkinson.
The Wicked Sisters band started to play. Hermione laughed and danced with Viktor and his friends as the band played. Hermione and Viktor soon got thirsty and they walked away from the crowd. Viktor said he would get punch, he bowed and kissed her hand.
She span around "Hot isn't it?" She asked Ron and Harry. They didn't reply.
"Viktor has gone to get us drinks, would you care to join us?"
"No we would not like to join you and the enemy." Ron spat back at her.
"Enemy? This whole competition's purpose is to meet new people, to make new friends." She felt tears welling up in her eyes.
"I think he's got a bit more than friendship on his mind." Ron sneered at her. He grabbed Harry and they walked out together. She walked fast behind them.
"Ron! You spoiled…..everything! Where have you been? Off to bed!" She yelled, her tears over flowing.
"Wha?" Harry didn't get to finish his sentence. "What did you do Ron?" They climbed the stairs together.
"They get worse with age..." Ron commented sourly.
"GO!" Hermione yelled and sat on the staircase crying. She slipped her shoes off and put her head in her arms.
Viktor walked back looking for Hermione. He had said to stay there. Where was she?
He walked outside the ballroom and she her sitting on the stairs crying.
'Veasley' He whispered to himself and felt his temper rise. He walked over to her form and bent down.
"Her-mo-ninny." He whispered.
She looked up and hugged him quickly. "Im so sorry Viktor. Ron he…." Fresh tears ran down her face as she let out a sob.
Viktor looked back and saw Alexei and the others as they frowned. He frowned as well and tilted his head to the staircase. They understood. They all knew it had to be the red-headed boy.
"Viktor is vinnaly happy, ve kill boy." One of his friends cracked his knuckles.
"No, Her-mo-ninny vould ve hurt if ve did that." Alexei said. "Ve…just talk..." He nodded.
They quietly walked by Hermione and up the stairs. Viktor picked her up and followed them up the stairs, Hermione crying on his shoulder. Alexei looked back at Viktor and nodded his understanding. Someone was going to get hurt. Badly.
Viktor turned and walked into the common room after Hermione meekly said the password.
"Oh, dear." The fat lady said.
A/n: Okay! There it is! Hope you like it!
