Hermione P.O.V.
I knew that meeting with Viktor was going to be hard, but I did not expect this. I did not expect to receive a gift this sweet or a very large Bulgarian man basically groveling in front of me. “What I am to do?” I asked to no one as I let one of the tears that I had been holding back fall, which landed on the crystal rose in my lap. But once that one tear left, all the other followed and that is how Ginny found me an hour later. Sniffling and crying over a crystal rose.
“Hermione? Hermione, where are you?” Ginny called
I quickly tried to wipe my face with the sleeve of my outer robe before she saw me, but I wasn’t fast enough.
“Oh Hermione, what did he do to you? Have you been out here this whole time crying?”
With a nod and another wipe of my robe, I settle down and tell her everything that had happened during the meeting with Viktor. She picked up the rose from my hand and examined it before she started to speak.
“So what are you going to do? He gave you a gift and said that he was going to make it up to you and you said you would give him your answer on Sunday after the champions are selected.”
“I guess there is nothing I can do right now except wait for him to owl me or talk to me. I don’t want to sound like a bitch, but he has kind of turned me away from the dating scene.”
Not wanting to talk about this any longer I get up and take the rose from Ginny.
“Come one Gin, let’s head back to the Common Room so I can put this away and we can hang out before lunch.”
HKHKHKHKHKHHKHK
Ginny and I are sitting in the Great Hall nibbling on bread while waiting for the boys to arrive when the afternoon owls start to flood in. Turning back to the book that I had in my hand I continue to read and mark in the margins until Ginny elbows me in the side.
“Hey what was that for?” I asked, glaring at her.
“Well there has been an owl sitting here for the past few minutes and you have yet to take notice. Plus it is starting to look a little pissed.”
Turning my head back to the table I see Viktor’s owl sitting in front of me with a package in his beak. Slowly reaching for the package, the owl drops it into my hand and I give the bird a piece of bread that I had been eating. Nipping at my fingers the owl flies away and heads back through the opening in the Great Hall.
It’s at this time that Ron and Harry have decided to grace the world with their presence and plop down in the seats across from us. It doesn’t take long before Ron spies the package and starts to ask questions.
“Hey Hermione, what do you have there?” Ron asks while pointing at the package.
“Uhmm, I am not sure. It just came in the mail, I’ll just open it when I get back to my room.”
“No sense! What if it’s food? You don’t what it to spoil now do you?” Ron says
“If it was food, the person sending it probably put a preservation spell on it so I don’t have to worry.” I said hotly. But my curiosity was getting the better of me and I knew who it was from. Looking at Ginny for help in what to do, she just shrugs and turns back to the food that has just popped up onto the table.
With my three friends distracted with the food in front of them, I move the small package from the top of the table to my lap and slowly open it. Trying not to crinkle the paper too much, I manage to pull out the small box and open. I gasp seeing a pair of amethyst earrings glinting back at me and a small not stuck to the top of the box. Ignoring the questioning looks from my friends I lifted the box closer to my face to read the inscription on the parchment.
“Mimi,
Please accept this gift as another part of my apology. If you accept the invitation from me to court you, please wear them if you give me a second chance. If you do not, they are still yours to keep and I will not contact you again.
Viktor”
I blink away the tears and turn to back to my friends, who are still staring at me in confusion. Handing the box to Ginny, so she can read it and see the earrings, I look up and meet Harry’s gaze.
“Hermione, what is it? Are you okay?” He quickly asks with concern in his voice
“Yeah Harry, I am okay. Someone sent me an apology gift and a sweet note, so there is nothing to worry about. Let’s get back to lunch before we head back to the common room for homework.” Trying to change the subject. But it didn’t work…
“How and why was someone apologizing to you Hermione?” Ron said as he ripped the box from Ginny’s hand.
“HEY! Give that back!” Ginny and both yelled as we tried to reach for the box, but our short arms couldn’t reach.
“Viktor…Hermione who is Viktor and why does he want to have a second chance at courting you?” Ron said, he facing turning red in anger.
Finally snatching the box away from him and I shove it in my bag at my side.
“It is none of your business Ronald, in who and why Viktor is asking for a second chance. It is not your problem it is mine.” I snap
The redness in his face starts to fade away and he starts to laugh.
“Good one ‘Mione!” He laughed, “Are you still going on about Viktor Krum? I didn’t think you were that desperate enough to send yourself a gift signed by another!” He continued to laugh
Tears started to well in my eyes for a second time today. Merlin! I am sick of boys making me cry! Finally letting the tears spill over, I look up and around the laughing Redhead in front of me and see a pair of concerned silver eyes.
“Hermione,” Harry said and I turn to see he is kneeling next to me “let’s head back to the common room, I am done and I think Ginny and Ron aren’t done eating.” Nodding my head and wiping away the tears, Harry picks up my bag with his and I follow him through the Great Hall trying to ignore the whispers and the points.
We walk quietly back to the common room and when we walk through portrait hole, he leads me over to a secluded corner and hugs me. I finally lose it and start to bawl, Harry lets me cry on his shoulder and when I am finally I done I thank him for everything.
“Hermione, can you tell me why Viktor Krum is owling you earrings and apologies?”
With a small nod of my head I tell Harry everything that has been going on between Viktor and I, starting with the meeting under the tree and ending with this morning. By the time I am done, there is a mix between sorrow and anger on Harry’s face. Not knowing what else to say, I tell Harry I am going to nap and then study in my room. Knowing that I did not want to be around Ron right now, he nods his heads and gives me a hug before I head to my room.
Finally laying down, I fall asleep emotionally drained, so emotionally drained that I sleep until 10 am Sunday morning. I am woken up by a grumpy cat and an annoyed best friend, both of which are sitting on my bed staring at me.
“Come on Hermione! It is time for you to get up, you’ve slept half of the day away!” Ginny said, bouncing on my bed.
Rolling over I look at the clock on my night stand and see the time and quickly shoot out of bed and run towards the bathroom. I hear Ginny chuckle and follow me into the bathroom, where I have already jumped into a stall and started my shower.
“Soooo Hermione, what is you answer for Krum? You only have seven hours to come up with your decision.” She called over the noise of the shower.
Groaning, knowing that she is right, I stand there under the shower water thinking.
“I am not sure Gin, I think I will carry around earrings for the day and when I decided I will either put them in or not. These next seven hours are going to be tough, but I am finished so if you could leave and maybe pick out my outfit I will be forever grateful.”
I hear her squeal and then the door shut, so I peek my head out and wrap a towel around myself before spelling my hair to dry in sleek curls down my back and heading to my room. When I walk in, I see my clothes thrown around my bed and Ginny’s bum in the air over my trunk while her head is in my trunk muttering something. Giggling at the comical sight, I put on my matching bra and knickers and dressing robe. While Ginny was preoccupied with clothes, I spelled on my makeup like she had taught me and sat on my bed to wait.
I notice a small package on my night stand, leaning over I grab it and start to open it. Inside are matching amethyst hair pins. Smiling, I use pins to pull back my hair and check myself in the reflection. There was no note, but the pins match my earrings I don’t need to guess who sent them.
A few minutes later Ginny tumbles out of my trunk with a white tank top, a dark purple cardigan (which I forgot I packed) and a black, flowy, knee length skirt. She smiles when I don’t protest with putting on the outfit. When I am done, I look in the mirror and notice how my eyes pop because of the purple cardigan. Nodding to Ginny in the mirror, I pick up my wand and bag, which hold my earrings and other essentials, and make my way with Ginny to the basement kitchen for some food.
For the next few hours, Ginny and I stayed in the kitchen snacking and discussing what I should do about Viktor and how to ignore the hurtful things that Ron says. Finally coming to a few conclusions the two of us leave the kitchens to go walk around the lake until dinner.
HKHKHKHKHKHKHKHK
Dinner came and went with no arguing or badmouthing and now the four of us are sitting in the Great Hall waiting to the professors to bring out the Goblet of Fire. Headmaster Dumbledore walks out first lowering the lights in the Great Hall, followed by the Headmaster and Headmistress of Durmstrang and Bauxbatons with the Goblet of Fire levitating between them. We watch as Professor Dumbledore undid the 16 and over age line and lit the cup.
After a few moments of waiting the blue flame turned red and the goblet spit out a piece of paper.
“FLEUR DELACOUR!” He shouted and all the Bauxbatons girls and some of the students from Hogwarts cheered. Fleur walked up and shook Professor Dumbledore’s and went to stand next to her Headmistress.
We didn’t have to wait long until the cup spit out its next victim.
“VIKTOR KRUM!” All the Durmstrang guys cheered and clapped Viktor on his back as he walked up to Professor Dumbledore and copied Fleur. While he was standing next to his Headmaster I could tell he was searching for me. When he finally saw me, his face remained cold and stoic but his eyes came alive when he saw me wearing his earrings. He sends me a quick wink, and I put my head down to hide the blush creeping across my face when the last champion is called.
“CEDRIC DIGGORY!” All of Hogwarts cheers for Cedric as he walked up to Professor Dumbledore and shook his hand like the other two.
“The first challenge will be mid-November. It will be of brawn and brains, and with that I bid the champion’s good luck and the rest of you goodnight!” Professor Dumbledore called to hall.
