The Yule Ball
Hermione P.O.V.
It has been a little over a month since the first task and is the night of the Yule Ball. To say that I was nervous would be an understatement and it has nothing to do with Viktor. The past month has been amazing with him, once a week he has sent me a courting gift stating that it was tradition. So far, I have received a beautiful quill, a never ending ink pot, a journal, and a matching bracelet to the earrings and hair pins he sent me. I tried to tell him that I don’t need gifts, but Viktor told me to just accept them and that me being with him is enough. Looking at the mirror and straightening my dress I think back at how lucky I am to finally give Viktor a chance.
*Flash Back*
Sitting by the lake during the warm afternoons is one of my favorite things to do. I can come out here and get away from the loudness of the common room or the dead silence of the library. The gently lapping of the waves of the Black Lake against the shore and rustle of the leaves in the wind helps me ease my mind and forget all the self-doubt and problems that I have been having.
It also is the perfect place to think about Viktor and how I should go about the courting situation that I or rather we are in. Leaning back against the tree, I listen to the nature around me and really think about Viktor. Knowing I probably look crazy, but I can’t help but talk or mumble out loud while trying to get my thoughts together about this situation.
I mean, I hardly know him and in the past few months that we have known each other it has been rocky. I know that he is trying to make up for blowing me off and humiliating me in front of his friends, but I am still a little hurt by it. But like I said, he is trying to make it up to me. The two gifts that he has given me are beautiful! His first gift was a never ending ink pot, which has come in handy whenever I am writing notes or my essays. But the matching quill to go along with the ink pot took my breath away. Viktor sent it to me during lunch and his owl Rex dropped it off right in front of my plate. When I opened the box I let out a small gasp, nestled inside the tissue paper was a black feather quill with amethyst stones and a white gold nib. It is probably one of the nicest things I own.
I know that I made the right decision when it came to Viktor. Even though it was rocky at first, he has really shown me that he can me patient with my insecurities and spoils me whenever he can. With a smile on my face, I slowly close my eyes and drift off to the sound of the gently waves lapping on the shore.
I was not sure how long I was asleep, but I was awoken by something jabbing me in the hand. When I opened my eyes I noticed that it was Rex and that he had a letter on his leg. Untying the letter from his leg, I give Rex a quick pet and he flies off. The letter was short and sweet. I was to meet Viktor in at the spot that he asked me to be his girl at 5. Doing a quick tempus charm, I only have a few minutes to make it there. Gathering my stuff I quickly make it towards my destination, but quickly stop when I arrive.
Taking in the surroundings I notice Viktor is dressed in dark blue jeans and a red button up with black vest. He has little fairy lights floating around the area and a blanket set up for the two of us. In all it is quite nice and romantic.
“Mimi, I so happy you could make it. Please sit, I haff fruit plate to share vith you.”
Smiling, I walk over and gracefully sit on the blanket with a thank you. The two of us share the fruit plate with me shying away from the strawberries, since they are not my favorite. This little picnic is nice. The two of talk about anything and everything, which helps our relationship grow.
I learned that he is the oldest out of three brothers, his younger ones being Vladimir and Yoan. His aunt if Iliana and his uncle is Marko and they have two sons Sasha (who is here with Viktor) and Boris. I tell him about my mom and dad and how they are Dentists. Even though I had to explain to him what Dentists were, he did not make any face or have any kind of body language that would indicate that he cared that I was a muggle born.
We continued this way for a few hours, just laughing and talking and getting to know one another. By the time that curfew rolls around, Viktor and I are trying to make a mad dash to the castle to get me back to my dorm inside. When we finally stop outside the portrait of the Fat Lady, he stops me from giving the password.
“Mimi, I vanted to do this earlier but ve lost track of time. I am sorry this is not romantic, but vill you go to Yule Ball vith me?” He said with a small smile.
“Of course Viktor, I would be happy to go with you.” I stretch on my tip toes and kiss his cheek, before heading to the common room.”
*End Flash Back*
Shaking my head, I smile at the memories that had lead up to this point. With a quick spritz of perfume, a little more lip gloss, I slide my wand in a secret pocket of my dress and head out of the common room to meet my date.
Viktor P.O.V.
Waiting for Mimi to come down the stairs is very nerve wracking. I can’t explain how elated I feel! I can remember the day I wrote to my parents after I asked Mimi to the Ball and got the letter back with a small package attached to it. Remembering the letter, I finger the box that is in my pocket.
*The Letter*
Dear Viktor,
We are pleased to hear that your relationship is progressing. Since you still think that she is the one and has your heart, take this and give it to her when you see her for the Ball. Your father gave it to me at our first Ball that we attended together, I hope it will bring you luck in your relationship. Remember I have still have to speak with her and your father wants her to come to the Manor during break some time.
With love,
Mamá
I come out of memory when Sasha elbows me and I glare at him. He points to the stairs and all I can do is stare. She looked so beautiful that lost my breath, when she came down the stairs. My Mimi, was in an ice blue dress that fit her like a glove. The top had a sweetheart neckline, the skirt was full and gathered at her left hip with a diamond snowflake broach. Her curls fell round her shoulders and softly bob as she made her way down the stairs. I make my way to the end of the stairs and meet her as she lands on the bottom step. I have a small heel click and bow, extending my hand to hers. She places her small hand in my large one, I kiss the back of her hand before speaking.
“Mimi, you look beautiful. You haff taken breath avay.”
“Thank you Viktor, you look very handsome yourself.”
“I haff something for you.” I pull out of my jacket a small box and present it to Mimi.
“Oh! Viktor, you did not have to get me anything!” She replies as she opens in the box and gasps. Within the box lays a teardrop sapphire necklace, Mamá sent it to me after my second letter to her. Mamá told me to give it to the girl that has made her baby boys heart swell with love.
”Vould you like help?” I ask, with a small nod she turns her back towards me and gathers her hair to the side. While clasp the necklace, I smell her cherry and vanilla perfume, I lean down and place a small kiss on her neck right under her ear. I feel her shiver and when she turns around I notice a small blush across her cheeks.
I kiss her cheek and her blush deepens. “Even more beautiful.” I say as I present her my arm and escort her to the line where the other champions are waiting. She gives a small wave to Potter who is watching me very carefully, before we are lead into the Great Hall to start the dancing. Apparently it is tradition for the champions to start the night off with dance.
Hermione P.O.V.
Walking into the Great Hall on Viktor’s arm was exhilarating! My emotions are all over the place, I was just gifted a beautiful necklace and now everyone is starting at us and waiting for us to dance. That’s when I start to panic, giving Viktor’s arm a squeeze he looks down at me and gives me a small smile. By the time we reach the dance floor, I am a nervous wreck, but Viktor gracefully guides us through the dance. With every lift, spin, and dip I gain more confidence and start to enjoy the dance. We are greeted with a round of applause when the dance was over and I tuck myself to Viktor’s side as he escorts me to our table for dinner.
When Viktor pulls out my chair and helps me get seated, I can’t help but notice how his hand lingers on mine, or how his eyes follow me. One would think that it was creepy, but I know that Viktor is the silent type and since I do not to Bulgarian very well, it makes things a little difficult. But that still doesn’t put a damper on the butterflies that flit around my stomach whenever he looks at me or hold my hand.
The conversation and the air around the table gets awkward the longer the dinner goes on, but the awkwardness is cut short when dessert arrives. Everyone dives into their dessert except for me. I somehow was served strawberry short cake and I know it is a snobbish thing to do but I just do not like strawberries.
Viktor notices that I am not eating my dessert and leans over.
“Mimi, do you not like dessert?”
I give him a small smile, “No, not really. I am not a fan of strawberries, I never have really liked them.”
With that he looks at me and smiles, before I know what he is doing he has switched our desserts.
“There, cherry cheesecake for you.”
“Viktor, you did not have to do that! I am perfectly fine with not having dessert.”
“No, this night has to be perfect.”
“Well thank you for the dessert and for the wonderful night. It is turning out to be a perfect night.”
Viktor grabs my hand and kisses the back of it before we turn back to our new desserts. Once everyone is done, Viktor grabs my hand and leads me to the dance floor where we dance for hours with his friends and mine. The only one who hasn’t joined in on the fun has been Ron, but I am in too good of a mood to even care.
Leading me off the floor for the last time, Viktor leads me to the doors and out to court yard. Even though it is snowing, I can’t help but smile at how beautiful it is. Letting go of Viktor’s arm, I head to the center of the court yard and twirl. Arms out, head back laughing, and dress flaring out I let go of all worries and cares and just spin.
I am suddenly halted when I spin into a hard chest, I look up and see Viktor smiling and staring down at me.
“I don’t know how you do it, you become more and more beautiful. May I kiss you?”
With a smile and a nod, I close my eyes and feel his lips on mine. His lips were soft and warm and moved slowly. I melt into his arms and reach my hands up and clasp behind is neck. I feel his tongue prodding my lips asking for permission, opening my lips he deepens the kiss and grabs on to my waist.
Both of us release at the same time gasping for air. With a quick peck to my nose, Viktor pulls away completely and puts my arm back into the crook of his.
“Ve must stop bevore I do something unvarranted.”
Viktor escorts me back into the Great Hall where everyone is dancing and we head over to Ron and Harry.
“I see you’re still with the enemy!” Ron bellows at me.
Both Harry and I are taken back by this comment and Viktor looks down right angry. I feel tears start to sting my eyes and I look over at Harry to ask him silently if he agrees. Seeing that Harry disagrees with Ron, and pulling Viktor behind me, I gather enough of my voice to tell him off.
“I will support both Hogwarts and Viktor, Ronald! This tournament is supposed to show support of international school comradery! And you do not get to tell me who I get to snog and not snog, you jealous git! The next time there is a ball get the courage to ask me yourself! AND NOT AS A LAST RESORT!!” I end up fleeing the three guys, I hear Harry start to yell at him and Viktor says something in Bulgarian, but I don’t care and head for the astronomy tower.
Reaching my destination, I crumple to the ground in tears. How could this amazing night end in tears? Not wanting to cry anymore, I wipe the tears away thanking Ginny for the waterproof and smudge proof charm she cast. Patting down my hair, I stand up and straighten my dress and make my way back to the Great Hall. Half way to the Hall, Viktor finds me and runs pulling me into a hug.
“Mimi, are you okay? Harry and I could not find you!”
“Viktor, I fine. I realized that I don’t want the git to ruin out perfect night. Let’s go back to the Great Hall and dance before the Ball ends.”
He looks down at me with a worried look, but I send him a smile and put my hand in the crook of his arm. Lifting my hand to his lips and kissing my knuckles, he returns the smile and we head back to the Great Hall to dance the night away without a care in the world.
As the ball finally comes to an end, Viktor escorted me back to the portrait of the Fat Lady and kissed my cheek goodbye. Giving me a small bow he turn in a flurry of robes and capes and leaves me swooning in front of the portrait.
“Password, dear?”
Whispering the password to the portrait, she swings open and I walk into the common room. Before she closes I could have sworn I heard the Fat Lady say something about “handsome foreign men” and “a keeper.” With a small smile on my face, I head up to my room and quietly get ready for bed since it looks like I am the last one in.
Finally I fall into bed with a smile on face and dream about the Bulgarian man that is starting to steal my heart.
