Hermione stared down at the papers before her and couldn’t help but cry. It had been one week since Fred came to Viktor’s Manor and said that he was going to sign away his rights, and now she was looking at the documents that did just that. She knew that they were already filed, so she couldn’t contest them, but it still hurt. Even after Fred came and said he couldn’t be a father to her little Ana, it still hurt and she didn’t know what to do.
Thank Merlin for Viktor though, she knew she could count on him but she didn’t want to lead him on. Even since the Yule Ball during the TriWizard Tournament, he held a flame for her and she knew that. But she just didn’t feel the same way, and part of her hated that. She knew that Viktor was a sweet and caring man, he loved her daughter like his own, and he was there for her whenever she need him, but was that fair to him? Knowing the answer, she put down the ministry documents and headed to the den to talk with Viktor.
When she arrived, what she saw mad her cry. Viktor was laying on the chaise with Ana on his stomach, his arm wrapped around her tiny body, and they were both sleeping with classical music playing in the background. Quietly walking into the den, she sat down on the opposite chair and started to think again. Her mind was reeling and she didn’t know what she wanted. Part of her wanted to live on her own with Ana, while the other part of her was comfortable being here with Viktor. She knew she had to make a choice soon and she wasn’t sure what she wanted. As she watched daughter and savior sleep, she tried to weigh the pros and cons of willing with and without Viktor, but the pros always won.
She decided right then and there that she was going to give Viktor a chance. How could she not? He had been there for her during her pregnancy, the birth of her little girl, all the break downs she had about Fred, and now looking at the two on the couch, she saw how fatherly he could be. Viktor stepped up to be a father to someone else’s daughter when he didn’t have to and for that she was thankful. Getting up from the chair, Hermione sweetly kissed his brow and her daughters head and headed for the kitchen. It was going to by dinner soon and she thought that a delicious meal would be the best way to talk about her decision. Obviously she wouldn’t word it that way, but she had a few hours to figure out what she was going to say.
***
A two hours later and some help form Viktor’s house elf, Hermione was able to put to semi-romantic dinner for the two, well three of them. Knowing that Ana should be getting up from her nap soon, Hermione plated and placed a warming charm on the dinner so it wouldn’t get cold. Quietly making her way back to the den she chuckled at what she saw. Ana was wide awake and had managed to move over to suck on one of Viktor’s fingers, while the bulky Bulgarian lightly snored away. Summoning a binky, Hermione made her way over to her daughter and replaced Viktor’s finger with the binky and gently picked her up without waking the man. Hermione quickly changed her daughter, fed her, since she didn’t want to breast feed at the table and put Ana in a new outfit, before going and waking up the Bulgarian.
By the time she made it back to the den, Viktor was waking up and wiping the sleep out of his eyes.
“Hey there sleepy head.” Hermione said as she flicked her wand to turn off the music. “I was wondering if you were hungry?”
“Dah” was all he said as he followed the girls out of the den and into the kitchen. He stopped at the door when he saw everything that Hermione had done.
“Mia, vhat haff you done? You did not haff to cook vor me.” He said as he watched Hermione put Ana in the bassinet that they kept in the kitchen.
“I know,” she said as she turned around and gestured for him to sit at the table, “but after everything that you have done for me, I knew I had to do something for you.” She looked at him hesitantly “I would also like to talk to you about us.”
“Us?” Viktor mimicked.
“Yes, us. I know that you have loved me since the Yule Ball and I was so glad that I had your friendship while I was with Fred, but I can’t help but feel drawn to you. You love Ana like a father should and you have taken care me in ways that I never thought was possible.” She finally looked up at him and continued. “I’d like there to be and ‘us’ if that is okay with you, if your feelings have changed then I understand.”
She watched him with worried eyes as he sat there silent, the only noise in the kitchen was Ana babbling to herself. He finally slid back his chair and got up, Hermione thinking the worse and bracing herself for him to leave, but she got the exact opposite. She watched as he walked around to her side of the table and he leaned down and kissed her. A kiss that was long time coming, a kiss that was desperate and passionate, a kiss that could only be of love. His tongue found hers and they two wrestled for dominance. The intense snogging session was brought to an end when the high pitched cry of Ana was heard throughout the kitchen.
Leaning their foreheads together, the two caught their breath for a quick second before Viktor turned around to pick up the little one. Hermione remained seated and contemplated what had just happened, the kiss was her answer and everything that she had hoped for and more. Viktor came back over with the baby and Hermione knew that she was hungry again. Giving up on her modesty around Viktor, she unbuttoned her blouse and unlatched her bra as she put her babe up to her breast to rut and latch on to her nipple. Looking up she saw Viktor with a face of awe and she smiled sweetly at him.
“Since that kiss told me your answer to my question, why don’t you sit down and eat.”
“I do not vant to start eating vithout you.” He said has he sat down and cast another warming charm over the food.
“Don’t be silly, I will eat when this little one is.” She said has she leaned back in the chair to get more comfortable. “Please Viktor, eat.” She waved her wand and the charm came off his food. He looked at her again and she nodded her head to tell him to eat.
Once Ana was fed and Hermione was situated, she took the charm off her own plate and held the baby in one arm and ate with the other. Viktor saw this and quickly got up and gently took the sleeping baby from her arm and sat back down and started to coo at the infant in his arms. Giggling at herself about how mundane this was and she started to relax, realizing that Viktor was right for her.
Gazing over at the man across the table from her, she knew she made the right decision and she was now thankful to Fred for signing the papers. It’s amazing at what a day could do to one’s opinions when one opens their eyes and sees what is right in front of them. She held on to wanting Fred for so long that she never gave Viktor the chance and she regretted it. But now…now she was going to make it up to him. She was going to forgive Fred and move on, that is what needed to happen and that is what will happen.
Her eyes met his from across the table and she gave him a small but loving smile. A smile that meant the world to him, a smile that meant they were going to be okay.
