Hermione didn't usually look forward to a Battlescars meeting. She went every week because it was the only way she could make herself feel like she was normal. It was her way of working against the celebrity that many tried to ascribe to her. It was her way of being a part of the every day workings of their world that allowed her to be on the same page as others.

Ron rarely if ever came with her. In fact she felt as if they'd been growing further and further apart. Whether it was his work schedule or her sudden focus on S.P.E.W. initiatives was yet to be seen. While she felt the change in their relationship she didn't feel comfortable talking to Ron about it. It was strange really, they'd been together for all these years and should be at a place where they could talk about anything.

Then she'd heard from Viktor. They'd always been able to talk no matter what was going on in their lives. He was the first person she'd ever told about her feelings toward Ron. Viktor had listened to Hermione and their friendship had grown from there. It was amazing how quickly they'd become accustomed to each other. Truth be told there had been a time when she had actually thought that if Ron never came around she could easily end up with Viktor.

Herimone knew that she ought to feel a twinge of guilt for how eagerly she looked forward to the end of the meeting. She'd even taken time to braid her hair that morning to tame it before slipping into a cute dress with a pink pull over. All through the meeting, she kept running her hand over her hair to make certain there were no stray strands trying to creep out. Finally, they'd finished and after dismissal she quickly made her way down the stairs.

"I hope you haven't been waiting long," she smiled at Viktor as she approached. The meeting had run a little longer than normal and she hated the idea that she'd kept him waiting.

Hermione cringed involuntarily at the recounting Viktor gave. "Yeah, I don't think Teddy's cuteness could have saved him if he'd gotten resistant ink all over the place. As it was Harry had to talk me down from the edge of an overly long lecture." Lectures were something Hermione had always been good at and being appointed prefect had helped her to perfect them.

"I have thought about that but there would have to be enough masters out there willing to free their elves or allow their bonded elves to be studied." She sighed and used her fork to move around some of the salad that had been placed before her a little while ago. "Based on some of the responses I received to my question I doubt there would be many willing test subjects."

"Misha isn't that inventive yet, so perhaps I am going to luck out," Viktor said in a voice filled with humor. He'd ended up hiring a cleaning service for Mikhail to fix his ink incident and it had taken quite a while for all the ink to wear off Tsveta.

Viktor wished he could cheer her somehow, or present her with an answer to her questions. "I vould allow Amiri to be studied, but I do not think she would be amenable to freedom for the effort, though you could ask her." He hmmmed softly, thinking. "You might do better to go outside of the UK," he said after a moment. "Vhere thinking is not so restricted about such things."

Hermione giggled lightly at the assertion that perhaps Viktor was going have it easy with Misha.

She was going to tell Viktor he didn't need to sacrifice his bond with Amiri for science. Something would come to pass eventually, she had faith. However, her thoughts were interrupted when he said for her to go outside. Glancing up she noticed a clock on the wall and she was reminded that she was supposed to meet Ron at the flat in twenty minutes. "Oh my," she jumped up. "The time has run away with us. I've got to go." She reached down and pulled her bag up and over her shoulder. She walked over and gave Viktor a friendly kiss on the top of his head before she hurried out the front where she immediately apparated home.

He loved to make her laugh. He smiled easily in response, simply enjoying it while it lasted.

"Oh, okay," he said, reluctance in his gut to end what little time they'd had. Viktor had the chance only to give her a brief one armed hug and turned to watch her leave. He sighed to himself and pushed his unfinished lunch toward the middle of the table. He'd enjoyed their conversation, but ending it especially quickly -- and especially because he knew she probably had to be somewhere specific -- was always a downer. He went ahead and paid and left, not feeling the need to stay alone.
