Prompt: Boomerang


"Boomerang"


"Okay, so you have to hold it like this, and–" Hermione adjusted her grip as instructed, letting Viktor frame her body with his from behind. His hands were warm on hers, and his presence sent a shiver down her spine, despite the sweltering heat around them.

It was three years after the war, and Hermione had finally come after her parents where they had started their new lives. Viktor had elected to come with her so she wouldn't have to face this alone. Now that she had reconnected with her parents and had successfully restored their memories, she and Viktor elected to stay for a while, to make up for lost time and for Hermione to learn more about what her parents had gotten up to in the past four years.

At the moment, Hermione and Viktor were taking a local class, where they were learning how to use boomerangs. Viktor was uncannily able with it, and he claimed it was his experience with Quidditch.

Boomerangs were similar to Beater's Bats, he had said, and more than once on the Quidditch team he'd have to sub in for a different position to cover for anyone out.

Like any other physical activity, Hermione did not excel at it, and so Viktor jumped at the chance to help her. They had been flirting with each other the entire time they were in Australia, just enjoying the little moments, never putting a name to anything. Hermione figured it was just Viktor being Viktor. She enjoyed being treated like a woman. And Viktor treated her like a woman. Enough so that her mom had pulled her aside for some girl talk.

Hermione was startled out of her thoughts as Viktor kissed her cheek, flushing at her inattention.

"Enough practice for today?" he asked her. Hermione nodded.

"Viktor, take me home," Hermione replied, a smile on her face. His own grin reflected hers.

"As my lady commands it!" he replied before sweeping her up in his arms. Hermione laughed as he bounded away from the open field they had been practicing in.
