Prompt: #13, Gifts
Series: The Amazing Bouncing Ferret
Warning: None
Notes: This takes place two weeks before the Yule Ball, GoF. Hermione's POV.

She had two weeks until Christmas and the Yule Ball, and there needed to be some sort of gift in his future. It was obvious. She needed to knit him something, but what? Socks – socks would be perfect, and she had some good sock wool in her stash, but she had no idea how big his feet were. This would take some subtle investigating. It would probably require two or three times the wool needed to make a house elf a pair of socks (not that a pair was strictly required, according to Dobby). Maybe red – for Durmstrang, for Bulgaria.

Notes: 100 word drabble. This takes place in November, before Ron figures out who Hermione is going to the Ball with. Hermione's POV.

"But he's… a Durmstrang. I mean, look at his Headmaster."

"Karkaroff's no Dumbledore, in more ways than one. I mean, yes, he's Viktor's Headmaster, and the curriculum is set in a certain way that favors a more rigorous understanding of the Dark Arts, but it's not like Karkaroff is his mentor, or anything. It's not like how it is with Dumbledore and a certain fourth year I won't mention."

"I don't doubt you, Hermione, and if you say it's alright, I'll believe you. I just… I want to make sure it's okay. That he's okay."

"It really is okay, Harry."

Prompt: #15, Potions
Series: The Amazing Bouncing Ferret
Warning: None
Notes: 100 word drabble. This takes place on the first day of Potions, OofP, Hermione's POV.

Ron's sharp nudge brought her out of her daydream of strong arms and a sweet Eastern accent. It was a happy place, where she had been; a place of fearless flying, long drawn-out kisses, crisp mountain air and the bright sun of summer. Though she thought highly of this class, the Hogwarts dungeon had nothing on the mountains south of Vratsa.

Her professor skulked by, staring at her as he lectured, trying to find fault, but all she could do was stare at his long, hooked nose thinking that it looked wrong somehow, as it hadn't been broken several times.

Notes: 100 word drabble. This takes place before the first task, GoF. Viktor's POV.

The figurine shattered, and Viktor swore. Bending down and swiping it up in his hands, he wordlessly repaired it and equally as wordlessly berated himself for daydreaming about a brown-haired British girl instead of paying attention to the cleaning of Karkaroff's stateroom, part of his weekly round of duties. She was terribly intriguing, though. Pretty, wildly intelligent, passionate, and a wonderful partner for conversation, he wondered if she thought of him at all, wondered if she noticed how often he looked at her, trying to get her attention. Maybe he needed to try a –

Damn.

He'd broken the figurine again.

Prompt: #38, Sleep

Warning: None
Notes: 100 word drabble. This takes place in January, GoF. Viktor's POV.

He woke with a jerk sighing to feel the slick wetness, proof of just how satisfying his dream had been. A half-asleep Evanesco made him clean enough.

He relaxed back onto his pillow, grinning to think of the images so recently playing in his mind. Her shirt had been unbuttoned and her school skirt hiked up around her hips. Oddly, they were underneath the Quidditch pitch in Vratsa and she'd been whispering the loveliest things into his ear, nibbling as she went. Toward the end she'd been chanting his name, as those who loved him said it: Vitya, Vitya, Vitya.

Prompt: #39, Hands

Warning: None
Notes: 100 word drabble. This takes place early December, GoF. Viktor's POV.

He walked across the grounds, covertly watching some couples walk to the town together. When they weren't being yelled at for it, some of them would have a hand in the back pocket of the jeans of their partner, essentially grabbing their arse.

Could he do that?

No, Karkaroff would kill him. And if Karkaroff didn't, and his mother heard of it, she would kill him. And if neither of them killed him, there was always the possibility that Hermione herself might hex his hand off, or something he'd miss even more.

Viktor wondered how one tactfully made that request.
