A Year Abroad (Hermione/Viktor)

The End

The day finally came and Hermione was more nervous than she had ever been . She had fought in the war, she had competed in the Triwizard tournament, but still, this felt like the most important day of her life. Luna awoke her early, with breakfast in bed, and Fleur brought her in a mug of tea.
"Are you ready for the most beautiful day of your life?" Luna asked and Hermione couldn't help but grin.

On the other side of europe, Viktor was woken up by his brother, who brought him in bacon and a cup of coffee.
"Are you excited?" He asked and Viktor only smiled in response.
"There is something I wanted to ask you about." Mladen told his brother and Viktor was all ears.
"You have to do it. If you love Luna, you have to ask her!" Viktor was very supportive of Mladen asking for Luna to be his.
"We write all the time and every spare minute I get, I go to see her. I think she is the one for me, I really do." He told him and Viktor nodded and patted him on the back.
"I think you should go to her now, before it all becomes too hectic." Mladen took his brother's advice and swallowed his nerves.

Luna opened the door to Mladen and asked if everything was okay.
"Yes yes, I just wondered if I could talk to you?" He asked her and she nodded, grabbing her translators, her heart racing, wondering if he was going to break up with her. She really hoped he wasn't, and if he was, she didn't want it to be on this special day, that would just be selfish.
"Luna, ve have been talking or a long vhile now, and you are the most vonderful vitch I have ever met. I know this might seem selfish. But I don't vant you seeing other vizards, the thought of someone else holding your favour is so painful for me. So I vanted to ask, vould you be mine, officially?" He asked and Luna felt her eyes grow wide. She had almost given up on Mladen. He made the effort, but she wondered if she was more of a friend to him than anything. But now, this was exactly what she had been waiting for. She smiled up at him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Consider me yours." She smiled and left him a little winded, stood out in the corridor.

Hermione felt the love flow from Luna and she was so happy. They all huddled together, Luna, Hermione and Fleur and apparated to the Krum house. This was when the heavy work started. The makeup artist came in, the hair stylist did his work and then there was the dress. Once it was all done, Hermione looked at herself and felt her mouth fall agape. She had never looked so beautiful. She placed a hand over her mouth and that was when Jane appeared.
"Oh Hermione!" She stood back and looked at her daughter. Luna placed the veil in her hair and Hermione had to hold back her tears, not wanting to ruin her makeup.
"Oh my goodness, I am actually going to be a bride!" She chuckled and the girls all smiled down at her, knowing that she was going to be the most beautiful bride the magazines would see for a long while.

On the other side of the Krum house, Viktor was getting ready. He was so happy that his brother had reported back that Luna had accepted him. But now, he had to focus on himself and Hermione and the happiest day of his life. He got dressed and looked at himself.
"I have never seen such a fine young man." Andon announced as he entered the room. Viktor was more handsome than any young man he had ever seen.
"Do you think she will like it?" He asked his father and Andon chuckled.
"She is a fool if she does not." He told him, straightening one of his buttons.
"Enjoy today, son. You only get one wedding and it will be the happiest day of your life." He told him and Viktor bowed his head.
"Yes father."
"Now, let's get down there. They are waiting for us."

Viktor had never seen the grand hall look so beautiful. There were red roses everywhere. And so many people sat in the crowd, people from Hogwarts, people from Durmstrang, people from Vratsa, anyone who meant anything to either of them were there. Viktor stopped when he saw Chigvintsev stood at the altar.
"I am doing your service today." He told him and Viktor looked over to his mother, who winked at him. He shook his hand, before taking his position.
