You Again
Chapter Nine
Hermione's nose was filled with the smell of eggs and cinnamon as soon as her mind was pulled from sleep. Stretching her arms above her head she glanced groggily around looking for some indication of who was making food in the kitchen as her mind hadn't caught up last night events.
"Shhhh Dora," she heard Viktor call from the kitchen, "it's not time to vake Minny." Gasping as she realized who was making breakfast, she couldn't remember a time that she slept so hard that she completely forgot who was in her house.
Racking her brain trying to remember if she asked him to make breakfast she heard Teodora's feet running towards her direction in the living room yelling, "Minny! Minny!"
Hermione crawled out of the fort that was still up but stayed low to the ground so she could lift the little girl up and giver her a tight squeeze. Walking into the kitchen Teodora was telling Hermione in her own way how she helped papa make food for them to eat. She saw Viktor placing eggy toast and pumpkin juice on the table, depositing Teodora in a chair at the table Hermione walked past Viktor to grab plates and put them on the table.
Before sitting down Hermione walked to Viktor kissed him on the cheek and mumbled "thanks for breakfast." Sitting down Hermione was busy cutting up Teodora's food and answering her questions about the movie they watched last night. During a pause in the question's Hermione nonchalantly asked, "did I ask you to make breakfast last night? Not that I don't mind, it's just that my brain is so scrambled I barely remembering you coming in."
Viktor laughed and replied with a hint of a blush on his cheeks, "No, you said stay and went back to sleep. I vanted to do food as thank you for vatching Dora. It was nice to help my mama and papa."
Before Hermione could reply they heard the Floo being activated and Ginny's voice rang through her flat, "Hermione, are you sleeping under that huge pile of blankets?" Laughing Hermione excused herself to go see what her best friend needed. Walking in front of the fireplace Hermione waved Ginny through and Harry and James tumbled out after her.
Before anyone could talk James giggled and practically screamed out, "Minny. Hair funny." Hermione rushed to the mirror by her front door and noticed that her hair was barely being held in by her plaits from the night before and was puffed up all around her. Sighing, she quickly undid her hair ran her fingers through, getting caught on knots she shoved it up in the best ponytail she could manage and went back to stand in front of her friends.
"You didn't come to see us last night," Ginny stated as Hermione entered her view once again, "why not? You are home so nothing se-"
Hermione slammed her hand over Ginny's mouth and hissed, "they are here. No inappropriate talking." Hermione waited for Ginny's head to nod in confirmation before she removed her hand.
"Viktor's father got sick so we had to cut dinner short and he left to take Teodora to his friends place but she couldn't do it so he came here and I offered to watch her so he could be with family. We made cookies, a fort and watched a movie before we fell asleep." Leaning in close so Hermione could add, "he came back and I asked him to stay the night. Well I just remember pulling him down next to me and falling asleep. He made breakfast as a thank you."
Ginny covered her mouth in an attempt to silence the squeal that had erupted from her mouth. "Oh I want to re-meet him, again." She walked into the kitchen with Hermione trailing behind her, the girls not even noticing that Harry was nowhere to be found. Ginny stopped short so Hermione ran into her, pushing Ginny forward Hermione looked into the kitchen to see what made Ginny stop so abruptly.
Teodora's back was facing the door and James was sitting across from her with Harry and Viktor standing close by. Taking a tiny step forward the girls noticed that Teodora was feeding James very tiny pieces of eggy toast, telling him "eat before have more." Hermione let out a tiny sigh and Teodora whipped her head around. "Minny! I feed bebe."
"I see," Hermione responded, closing the gap between her and the kids, "you are doing such a great job." Placing her hand on the little girls shoulder Hermione spoke, "I want you to meet my friends, standing by papa is Mr. Harry and behind me is Mrs. Ginny. They are James' mother and father."
"Hi, 'arry and 'inny." Teodora said almost automatically without glancing up again from feeding the baby.
Between the adults laughing at how Teodora was with James, Hermione opened her mouth to see if they Potters' wanted to join them but Harry spoke before she could get any words out. "We just stopped by on the way to the Burrow because we didn't hear from you last night. You know that you should come by, Molly has been worried about you but we will tell her that you are busy. Floo us later Hermione. Viktor good to see you again." Harry shook Viktor's hand and kissed Hermione on the cheek before squatting down to tell Teodora that they had to go and they would see her again.
As soon as the Potters left Teodora popped the question, "Papa vant a sestra and brat?" Viktor who was sipping his drink, nearly spit it out as his eyes sprung open wide and his hand flew to his mouth.
Before Viktor could recover Teodora turned to Hermione and asked, "you? You have bebe?"
Hermione squatted down in front of the little girl, "no I do not have a baby. Why don't you go play in my spare room? I'm sure to have toys for you to play with."
Hermione watched the little girl go with a slight tug in her heart, with a wave of her wand she accio-ed the dishes into the sink and they started to wash themselves. Grabbing Viktor by the hand she lead him into the living room where they sat on the only available couch which was the love seat. Teodora had come running back into the room carrying Muggle cars that she had picked up from the store, "Minny, can I play in fort?" Without waiting for a nod Teodora ran into the fort and after a few moments of silence the adults heard the vrooming of cars and crashing sounds.
~OoOoOo~
Viktor stared at the fort, realizing that he had to talk to Hermione about his daughter's mother so he quietly spoke while they were listening to Teodora play, "I vas so scared to be papa. I felt like I vas no good because I vas gone all time. I met Teodora's mama, Sofija at Quidditch training, she was...hmm..groupie." Pausing to slightly laugh with Hermione, Viktor turned his body so he was facing her but kept his eyes averted.
"I vas careless ven I vas vith her. My papa got sick and vas diagnosed vith cancer so I used her to escape. She vas very nice but I tink she used me too, to get over her ex. A fev months later she vas vith bebe. Even though she vas stranger I had take care of her and bebe." Viktor stopped speaking to glance into Hermione's eyes, Viktor couldn't read the emotion in her eyes so he kept talking like he never stopped.
"Ve didn't get along at first, she vanted to be by self and I vanted to support her as that's hov mama vas. I left Quidditch for a month to spend time vith her, I vasn't in loff vith her but I liked her alot. Near the end I had started to loff her, the only thing vrong is she vasn't you." Slowly leaning forward so Hermione could change her mind, Viktor placed his hand on the nape of her neck and kissed her lips gently.
~OoOoOo~
The gentle pressure of Viktor's lips on her own was unexpected, she gasped when Viktor's tongue darted out and ran across her bottom lip, in a silent request for access. Viktor's hands slowly trailed down her neck and continued a slow, torturous journey to the curve of her hips. Gently, he pulled her against his body as their tongues fought their own battle for dominance. Between Viktor's masculine scent, the feel of his body pressed flush with her every curve, and the skill of his tongue as it danced with Hermione's; she was slowly turning to putty in his hands. The kiss ignited a fire deep in her stomach that she hadn't felt in years.
A tap tap tap pulled Hermione's mind back to the present, chest heaving she glanced into the kitchen and could see Pigwidgeon tapping on the window. "Ugh. I will be right back" she whispered and went to open the window, Pigwidgeon swooped inside, landed on Hermione's shoulder and stuck out his leg so she could retrieve the letter before flying off.
"Vho is it from?" Viktor's deep timbre came from behind her, his hands resting on her hips. Hermione leaned back against him to read the letter.
"It's from Mrs. Weasley," Hermione said after two minutes of just hearing Teodora making car sounds, "she wants us to come over today for lunch. She wants to meet you and Teodora." Turning around to face Viktor she added, "every Sunday the whole family gets together and she makes a feast but we don't have to go."
Viktor spoke slowly, "They are family?" When Hermione nodded Viktor added, "then ve go. I vant to meet your family. Maybe one day you can meet mine?"
Hermione stood up on her tiptoes to give Viktor a soft kiss and whispered "deal" once she pulled away.
"Dora come in the kitchen please," Viktor called out to his daughter, who came running from the fort as soon as she heard the word come.
"Yes, papa?" she questioned as she stared at her father.
"Ve are going to see some of Minny's family for lunch, does that sound okay?"
"Oh yes papa!" she exclaimed and ran into her father's leg and hugged Hermione's legs.
"Well," Hermione clasped her hand together, "why don't you and papa go home and get ready then come back and we can leave?"
Teodora ran out of the kitchen and waited in front of the fireplace bouncing on the balls of her feet, "hurry papa. I need new clothes."
Viktor laughed and turned to Hermione, "someone is eager, I must get going, good bye obicham." A quick kiss on her cheek and Viktor went to grab his daughter and left by the Floo.
