Hermione decided that she couldn't do this without a plan. So... a plan. And then it hit her. The perfect plan to get back at Ron and one that Viktor would be ok with. Probably. It was perfect she decided and apparated into his room.

'Viktor! I have a plan to get back at Ron and Aria! We could pretend to go out and Dennis could report on it and they'd be so jealous.'
He looked shocked at her plan but soon realised it was flawless and exactly what Aria would hate. He couldn't help be pleased that he was now dating Hermione Granger.
He grinned 'Let's do it'

Ron POV
It was time to introduce Aria to his family and vice versa, so he decided to bring her along to family brunch. A tradition that Hermione had made but Ron overlooked it. He thought it was perfect.
'Hiya guys,' he said putting on his special little kid voice 'I want you to meet my new girlfriend, and it's not Hermione!'
The family looked up as if Ron had went round insulting and slapping them.
'What do you mean dear?' Asked Molly hoping it was a mistake. 
'I. Have. A . New. Girlfriend' he said it slowly and tried to sound happy about it.
He took his seat and drew out the chair next to  his and Aria smiled her award winning smile and sat down. And the Weasley kids promptly screeched, 'That's auntie Mione's seat!'
Ginny gave him a glare and stalked out siding with her best friend. Harry shot him an apologetic look saying 'You chose Aria. We chose Hermione. Your choice mate.' And then sprinted out after his wife. And ran back in, grabbed his kids and left.

'Well then. How's the jokeshop George?' Ron asked with a strained smile.
'I'm outta here. I agree with Harry. Sorry Bro.'
'Charlie?' Ron tried desperately.
'Leave me out of this. Fleur and Bill wouldn't come because of this. I'm going back to Romania I can't take your drama and fame. More like Harry's.'
Ron sat back in horror. This hadn't gone the way he thought it would. George was forced to come and left Angelina. He never did that. He was too nervy after Fred's death.

And Bill and Fleur hadn't come full stop. His best mate stormed out. His sister...  All he had left was a mother that loved Harry more.

Aria on the other had was happy. She realised after the brunch that she had become engaged to the most famous person ready to split from a relationship. The last bit didn't matter. She would have made it work.

Hermione POV
It was stage one of her plan. Ginny and an interesting man called Naheria, Viktor Krum's personal stylist, had taken charge.
'Let's see your wardrobe then dearie.' Said Naheria brightly.  Ginny nodded.
Hermione hesitated, then opened the wardrobe.
'Omigod. Omigod.' Naheria looked as if he was going to faint. How am I going to work with jogging bottoms?'
Ginny turned to Viktor. 'Credit card. We are going shopping.'

4 hours later, Hermione was squeezed in a short red dress and leather accessories. Naheria nodded. He was done.
'Right there's one outfit. We need at least ten. You don't have to be here though sweetie. We have your size and measurements now.' She sighed in relief.
Ginny said' show time. Take off your jacket Hermione, Viktor can give you his and Dennis can take photos. Oh and remember the kiss to confirm it. Let's do this!'
Hermione gulped and shed her jacket.  Viktor grinned and opened the door for her which was quickly snapped by Dennis.

They sent to the cozy restaurant booth and sat down. They talked and laughed for what seemed hours then realised the had to order. Dennis grinned happily from a corner booth.
'They didn't even have to pretend to be in love. I hope they realise it at the same time though!' He thought 'they are so perfect for each other'

Viktor grinned at Hermione and paid before she could intervene . He grabbed her hand, and took her outside out into hogsmeade. Ginny was under the invisibility cloak and whispered find a seat and give to her Viktor!'  Viktor jumped in suprise and Hermione quickly threw her hands out to make it look like she had friendly pushed. He smiled gratefully and shot a glare to were he thought Ginny was. 
He noticed Hermione was shivering for real and quickly took off his thick woollen coat sporting the Bulgarian quidditch logo. Dennis nodded. He had the shots he needed. Except one.
Viktor slowly leaned in and Hermione glanced at him and remembered the plan.

Ron POV

Ron looked shocked at pictures of Hermione and Viktor all over the  Daily Prophet. Ron barely recognised Hermiome, she looked amazing. In the first photo,  Viktor was opening the door for her. Second, he was giving her his coat. Then, he was ...kissing her? Hermione hated PDA. Something was seriously wrong.
Before he started dwelling his fiancee ran in the room wearing prato call nothing and exclaimed 'Omigod. Look at this!' Ron was too busy looking at her to comprehend what she meant. Then he cottoned on and said 'uh yeah.'
Aria was distraught. Viktor krum couldn't get over her so quickly. Her reputation... Well she'd have to fight bad press with more bad press. 
Viktor POV
He knew it wasn't real but he couldn't help be wistful. He was falling. Hard. Off the eifell tower hard. But it was ok. Because it had to be. Life isn't that simple to Viktor Krum.
