You Again
Chapter Twelve
Hermione couldn't contain her excitement at Viktor's statement, pulling him in for a tighter hug, "Of course! I guess we really need to figure out our schedules, huh?" she questioned with a laugh as she smoothed down her clothing went to sit down in her chair.
Viktor smiled slowly and sat down in Hermione's chair first, pulling her on top of his lap, Hermione spared a glance at Teodora who was enthralled with coloring a picture of Quidditch players.
Hermione sighed happily, leaning against his chest murmuring "I wish this weekend didn't have to end."
"Sorry obicham, but ve can have more like it." Viktor whispered as he kissed her exposed neck three times, "Ve must see my mama and papa today. He is having an okay day, Dora must see him soon."
The kisses that Viktor had planted on her neck had made her shiver delightfully so she pretended to stretch her arms out and neck backwards hoping to get more. "I understand," turning around as much as she could without straddling him, "Come back soon." She kissed Viktor and tried to put the heat that had settled in her lower belly into the kiss. Viktor's hands stayed on her outer thighs, never traveling higher.
It was short but sweet as Teodora's little voice rang out, "Papa! I made pic-ure for you."
Quickly standing up Hermione moved behind the chair so the little girl could see her father.
"Very nice, Dora. Ve have to go see dyado i baba" Viktor adjusted his pants before he stood up and walked over to his daughter. "Say bye to Minny, ve vill see her later."
Teodora threw down the crayons and ran into to Hermione's open arms, "Bye Minny. obi-cham te."
Hermione whispered in her ear, "I love you little bird."
Still holding Teodora, Hermione stood up and walked over to Viktor, kissing him softly she whispered in his ear, "I love you."
Viktor looked down at his first love wishing he could grab her and kiss her until they forgot each other names, instead he sighed "I love you" and nuzzled her nose. Grabbing his daughter he spared one last glance at Hermione and left before it would be too hard.
~OoOoOoOo~
Teodora kept quiet the whole way through the Ministry to the floo that took them to their house in Bulgaria and then another floo trip to the hospital where Viktor's parents were.
Striding into his parents' room, Viktor couldn't keep the smile off his face. His daughter was silent but he assumed that she was concerned about her grandparents.
"Hello dyado i baba, look who I found?" Viktor spoke throwing his daughter up in the air so she would start giggling and right on cue, the second time he tossed her she started to laugh.
His mother, Sofija, laughed and walked over to take her granddaughter from her father, "Hi bebe. Ve have missed you." Walking over to the hospital bed, Sofija carefully sat Teodora on bed next to her husband, Damyan, who had just finished eating his lunch of clear broth.
"Obicham," Damyan's voice was clearly strained, trying to put on a show for his granddaughter who was currently holding his hand. "How are you?"
Teodora barely took a breath, "Me and papa have a Minny!"
Damyan responded, "a vat?"
Teodora laughed, covering her mouth with her hand "Papa's new friend. She nice." Damyan looked up at his son confused.
Viktor sat down next to his mother, "Remember my date from Yule ball? Herm-own-ninny?"
His father put up a hand and said, "The one who vas too young?" Viktor looked sheepishly to the ground and nodded. "You wrote to her right? Vhy did you stop?"
Viktor met his father's eyes and proudly said, "She is the golden trio, remember papa?" At his father's nod he continued, "I saw her at the latest match, vell she had tickets to come meet the teams. Dora took to her very quickly, you can ask mama. Ve made plans to meet up Saturday. She vatched the little one vile I vas here vith you. Ve spent the whole veekend vith her. She is now girlfriend, I vas going to bring her by this weekend," he added sheepishly, keeping his eyes trained on his father's face.
Before his father could respond his mother spoke, "I saw her vith Dora after the match. She vas very good vith our vnuchka."
"I only vant you happy Viktor, I know your mama vants the same."
Viktor's mouth dropped at his father's confession. He was surprised that his father had accepted his relationship so easily. Normally he needed to meet the girl before he gave his approval - he wasn't prejudiced against blood but he still liked to be nosy, especially to someone who might be a member of the family one day. The confession also worried him, it meant that his father was closer to death than Viktor thought.
Viktor swung his eyes to met his mother's while his father spoke to Teodora, he mouthed "How is he?"
His mother slowly shook her head as her eyes started to water. Viktor slowly walked over to his mother so he wouldn't disturb his daughter and wrapped his arms and squeezed tightly.
Sitting down next to his father he joined his daughter in conversation about their weekend spent with Hermione and their future plans for the next few hours.
~OoOoOoOo~
Hermione had spent a long day at work in her opinion, she thought as she slipped off her shoes. She desperately wanted to see Teodora again but knew that they needed time with Viktor's parents. Changing into jeans and a jumper she decided to send an owl to Viktor asking if they could meet up this weekend or maybe she could come to his next game.
Hermione knew that Harry, James, and Ginny were expecting her right after work so she figured that she could write the letter to Viktor at their house.
Grabbing some powder she stepped into the fireplace and called out, "Potter Manor," and disappeared in green flames.
"James?" Hermione's voice rang out in the living room, playing a game she always did, even when Ginny was early on in her pregnancy, knowing that Harry and Ginny pretended to be upset that she cared more for their child than them.
"Oh look, it's the girl that use to love us." Ginny's voice traveled loudly from the kitchen.
Harry's voice rang back as he added, "Why did we invite her over again?"
Hermione picked up James from his father's arms and snuggled him close, "you love me and Ginny is dying to know about Viktor."
The only word Ginny could get out was "So?" before Hermione softly jumped up and down.
"We are dating!"
Ginny's squeal was deafening and Harry ran to clamp a hand over his wife's mouth. "Sweet Merlin Gin. Keep it down will ya? I think the whole neighborhood can hear you." He added with a wink towards Hermione's direction.
"So I need to send a letter to Viktor, if you don't mind Harry." Hermione spoke over the noises Ginny was making.
Harry hooded his head as Hermione put James in his high chair, "Of course you can. Oh Mum said that she had a great time Sunday and she would love for you, Viktor, and Dora to come back whenever."
With a smile on her face Hermione wrote out her letter, 'Dear Viktor, I was wondering if we could meet up this weekend? I'm afraid that I would miss Teodora too much to go any longer without her. If you have a match or training maybe I could watch her so your mum could get to spend more time with your dad. Much love Minny. P.S. If you could let Jasmine rest for a bit, it's a long fly.'
She secured the letter to their owl, Jasmine, asked if she could deliver the letter to Viktor Krum and opened the window to let her out.
"So," Ginny's voice came from behind her as Hermione watched the owl fly away, "How did he ask?"
Hermione turned to face her best friend and leaned against the counter, "Well they stayed the night last night, when I woke up to say goodbye I thought of his daughter as mine so I ran out of there. Then they came for lunch and I confessed to Viktor what I thought. He asked be mine? I said of course." She finished with a large, toothy smile on her face.
Ginny stood up and pulled Hermione into a hug, "Oh I'm so glad! All three of you would make a perfect family."
Harry pulled the roast out of the oven, "Ginny. Do not be like your mother and start planning a marriage before they are even together for a week."
"Harry," Hermione stated as she glanced toward her lifelong friend, "You are taking the news very well. I expected you to throw a fit or the very least have an objection."
Harry walked over to the bushy haired witch and put a hand on her shoulder, "I originally was but when I saw the three of you together, you looked so happy. I haven't seen you that happy on years. Besides," he added pulling out plates and handing them to Hermione, "Ginny said she would hex me if I did."
Laughing Hermione stood up to set the table when the fireplace roared to life, "Are you expecting anyone?" Hermione questioned as she put the plates on the table.
Ginny shook her head no and Harry started to walk into the living room.
From the kitchen Hermione and Ginny heard a weak voice call out, "Harry?"
