Hesperia Potter-Black didn't want to be part of the war or anything it had to do with battle between 'light' and 'dark' when it is adult battles not children's battles. Yet they are thrust with danger that none deserve to be in it. Especially Hesper...
"Yes you do. My love, I'm almost home. Take care of each other," Tom said with love and care in his voice.
He fades leaving Severus and Hesperia holding each other before going their separate ways.
The Day of the Yule Ball
Hesperia is nervous and hopes her dress isn't too much. Ginny went downstairs being escorted by Dean. Hermione is being escorted by Ron who looks at her with love, adoration, and admiration that Hermione felt fluster and warm. Ron would never forget this moment and he was glad his mother sent another dress robe. The twins had Angelina and Lee as their dates, Percy with Penelope, and Neville with Susan and Hannah. Evans(Dudley) finally accepted Vladislav's hand as his date and accepted the courting ship necklace.
Hesperia then makes her way down. Many who hadn't gone inside froze when they saw her. Viktor, who was talking with Evans(Dudley) and Vladislav turned around when the two weren't speaking with him. He froze as he watch his beloved walk down those stairs. His heart sore with warmth and happiness when he saw her wear the necklace he gave to her as a courting gift.
He wanted something to remind Hesperia the love she has for her parents so he got her an antler necklace. The way her beautiful ebony hair float around her look as if she has wings, beautiful snow like pale skin with flush showing she was nervous, her emerald eyes focus only on Viktor, her dress cover her upper body showing her shoulders.

Viktor couldn't take his eyes off her and tune out the entire world to only see her, and no one else. He walked towards her offering his arm which she took with a beautiful smile. Minerva was walking to meet the champions only to Hesperia in her beautiful dress.
"My, Ms. Potter you look magnificent," she exclaimed.
"Thank you, Professor," Hesperia smile shyly.
Everyone left the champions in the hall to have an entrance. Hesperia was still nervous, but with Viktor by her side calms down her nerves a little.
"Don't let me go," Hesperia whispered.
"Never," Viktor swears.
The doors open and many look at the champions with their breath held inside. Cedric and Cho were graceful, while Fleur and Bill were elegant, but everyone's eyes were on Hesperia and Viktor. They were in awe of how elegant and graceful they walked together. It was as if there is a King and Queen walking in front of their very eyes.
The champions dance only looking at each other. Viktor and Hesperia were well formed, elegant, and graceful yet, deadly, which is not very visible to those around them. Fleur and Bill would smile and talk as they dance. Cedric only has his eyes only for Cho who has her eyes only him.
Viktor smirks inwardly from the jealous glare of the girls/boys towards Hesperia along with the boys/girls doing the same to him.
"Do not be so smug, my love," Hesperia scolded playfully.
Viktor growls playfully towards her getting a heartily laugh. He didn't hesitate to claim her lips in front of those who either wolf whistle or catcall them. A familiar sound of clearing their throats made Viktor stop and send a not so "my apology" smile to a stern Minerva Mcgonagall who fought her lips from twitching upwards.
Hesperia was then taken by Neville. Her smile was worth to Viktor from growling possessively. He ignores the knowing smirks from her siblings except for Neville dancing with Hesperia, and Evans(Dudley), who is occupied by Vladislav snogging him out in the open not afraid of being together.
Draco, Lucius, Narcissa, and Severus exchange looks while smirking secretly at Dumbledore's furious face. They snort when Dumbledore tries to talk to Viktor, which it wasn't working, and what makes it worse for the old coot is that Hesperia is taken by Ginny passed to Fred, to George, and repeat when he tried to dance with her. The thought of the old coot working on his exercise almost have the four of them burst out laughing.
The four caught Hesperia's gaze they could see mischief in them and the happy smile on her face. She was enjoying the moment of Dumbledore trying to dance with her to speak to her in a "Grandfatherly" tone and how much he is "worried" about her, and "disappointed" in her actions. She finished dancing with her siblings and went to dance with Viktor again. The music change to a free for all dance as the Weird Sisters sing their songs.
The excitement with everyone was worth it to the Teachers. The smiles on their faces was truly the most precious thing in the world. It was then their students had them join in their fun of muggle dance. Hesperia locks eyes with Hermione's. Hermione nod and spelled the speakers to play muggle songs when the Weird Sisters were finished.
All of the muggleborns and half-bloods taught their pureblood and other half-bloods the dances they are dancing to. The night was filled with cheering, laughter, and fun. The teachers except for Dumbledork smile at their students enjoying themselves. For once there are no tensions no arguments, or even snark remarks, just joy and fun. But no joy or fun is there for Dumblebork.
Viktor takes his beloved back to the Gryffindor Dormitory. The two do not want to end the night. So Hesperia pulled all her Gryffindor courage and took Viktor's hand, and start running. He ran with curiosity and excitement. The way her care free and beautiful laughter echo the hallways, her beautiful raven hair shine like stars are one them whenever the moonlight hits her, and her sparkle emerald eyes filled with excitement and mischief made him fall even deeply in love with her.
The couple's laughter echoed in the night near the forest. The two stop when Hesperia saw thestrals.
"Thestrals," she softly spoke.
Viktor has seen his uncle's death happen in front of him because he was being targeted. He remembers something from Hesperia. The Dementors last year were on the train and tried to suck all of her happiness, and triggered a memory that no fourteen month old baby should remember, yet the memory of her Dad shouting his wife to take both her and their daughter to safety. Her mother begging the killer to not kill her daughter and be left alone two times.
He went with Hesperia close to the harmless creatures. One of the baby Thestral went near Hesperia's hand. The little one nibble on her hand. Hesperia gently stroke their head and softly bop their noses together. The little thestral lean forwards for more and Hesperia happily nuzzles their noses. Viktor now worries for more competition with every single nature around them.
First he had to worry about hormonal teenagers. Second, he had to deal with Colin being cuddly with her. Third, he had to stop himself from kissing his beloved senseless whenever she moaned from the first bite of her breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Now fourth, he has to find himself jealous of a baby thestral. A BABY thestral gets him all jealousy. It was ridiculous and yet he thinks the Fates is trying to play with him for fun because he is with Hesperia. He cries on the inside, but it all went away when his Hesperia stood and turn around him with an armful of a baby thestral, and a cute bright smile on her face.
