When Saturday rolled around you found yourself in Hermione's dorm room with Daphne helping Hermione prepare for her date with Krum. Daphne had worked some serious magic – Hermione's hair was poker straight and she had a light layer of makeup on her.
You were in charge of clothes. It was October and Hermione had banned you from suggesting any dresses for her date. Instead you decided upon skinny pedal pusher black jeans with a blue vest top and a cropped denim jacket. You had to wrestle her into a choker necklace as she said she didn't wear jewellery.
By the time she was ready to leave she looked amazing and you and Daphne high five at your hard work.
You and Draco were walking her to the Three Broomsticks. The boys had decided that she needed someone there in case she needed to make a quick escape (or as the boys put it, in case Krum tries to cop a feel).
She bites her lip and barely takes part in the conversation as you make your way into the village. "Mione, stop! Everything will be fine."
"I know. I don't know why I am nervous."
You enter the pub and notice that Krum is not there yet. Draco orders four firewhiskey's and butterbeers. You take a booth by the window. "Hermione when he arrives you can sit over there with him and then if you need us you can signal. Right Draco?"
"Eh yeah we will be here. Hermione, down these two quick – to settle your nerves."
Draco hands Hermione two of the Firewhiskey's and you are shocked to see that without hesitation Hermione downs them both. Then she takes a sip of her butterbeer as the pub door opens.
Viktor Krum has not changed much since school. If anything he has gotten fitter and musclier. He takes a quick glance around and when he notices Hermione his whole face lights up. He makes his way to out table, which Hermione is standing beside.
"Herm-own-ninny!" Krum beams and he lifts Hermione's hand and kisses it without taking his eyes off her.
"Viktor. It is lovely to see you."
"I have been looking vorward to seeing you again. I am very excited to be here."
"Viktor these are my friends Evee Daniels and Draco Malfoy."
Viktor gave Draco a funny look but none the less stuck his hand out to greet him. "Vit is a pleasure to meet Herm-own-ninny's vriends."
"Pleasure is ours mate. I am a fan our yours. I have seen you play in a few games. You are a mean flyer."
"Vat is alvays nice to hear. And Evee, Herm-own-ninny has told me all about you. Pleasure." He kisses your hand politely. "Can I buy anyone a drink?"
"Thank you Viktor but Draco and I are fine. You two go and enjoy your catch up. I am sure we will see you later."
Viktor shakes Draco's hand again and smiles at you before offering his arm to Hermione and they make their way to the table opposite you.
"I don't think she is going to need our help anytime soon. He already seems smitten with her." Draco smiled as he flagged down a Rosmerta and ordered another round of Firewhiskey and butterbeer.
"Draco Malfoy are you trying to get me drunk?"
"Who? Me? Never!" he smiled.
"Sure love, sure."
"Actually I wanted to speak to you about what your were doing over the Christmas break?"
"Oh...em...I don't actually have any plans yet. Daphne and Theo are heading to stay with her family and Pansy is heading away with her mother. Blaise is going to be staying here and I didn't want him to be alone so I was thinking of staying with him to keep him company."
