*complete, hestia jones, september 1997, viktor krum

RP: Catching up
Date: 30 September 1997
Characters: Hestia Jones, Viktor Krum
Location: Hestia's Flat
Status: Private
Summary: Viktor stops by to say hello
Completion: Complete

VIktor had decided to think about his conversation with Bill, by taking another walk. He was pleased to hear that not all the British Wizards were content to stand by and watch their whole community come apart at the seams. Pulling his coat tighter he stomped through the streets. Did he really want to get into a war that wasn't his? No, he wasn't raised to think that way. If nothing else his grandfather's death had taugh him that one person could make a difference and just seeing back and watching bad things happen was wrong. Sure he had been protected this time around but would it be long before those who didn't jump on the party line would be targetted?

When he came out of his thoughts he found himself closer to Hestia's place than his own and since they really hadn't spent much time together since his interview he decided to pop in. Passing a small market, Viktor stopped in picking up some bread and cheese for them as well. Hope fully she wouldn't mind that he hadn't owled ahead of time.

Reaching her flat, Viktor stood at her doorstop and knocked.

"I'm good at worrying, probably too good at it," Hestia said as she bit her lip. She worried about him being in this country, she worried that she might actually be the cause of his issues with the Ministry, despite his weak ties to Harry. She liked him enough that she didn't want him caught in the mess of England right now, but she was much too selfish to beg him to go back to Bulgaria. It would be safer to let him go, but Hestia couldn't let herself completely part with him.

She sat at the kitchen table and crossed one leg over the other as she helped herself to a piece of cheese. "Flattery will get you everywhere as well, Viktor," Hestia said with a smile. She just wished that sometimes he would take more advantage of what she offered him.

"You've had a good day today, I hope," she said as she snagged a bit of the warm bread to accompany her cheese. "Anything new to see at the museum since I was last there?"

"Vell I shoudl not be vone of you vorries, I care about you Hestia I do and I'm not going anyvhere." He promised her. As he said the words Viktor knew that he would be owling Bill later on to hear more about those who weren't willing to just watch what was going on in this country.

Viktor blushed catching a bit of her innuendo, it wasn't that he didn't want Hestia, he did but he had been raised with a different standard and didn't want to treat her like a loose woman.

Her question pulled Viktor out of his thoughts and he nodded. "My day was quiet but I am getting used to that. Ve did get some more antique brooms so I think we might put on a large exhibition or something. The curator is still thinking about it."

Part of her wanted him to leave because she wanted him to be safe, she wanted him to go home or just get out of the country, but a weaker, more selfish part of Hestia wanted Viktor to stay with her. She liked the idea that somebody cared about her more than other people, she liked that he dropped by to see how she was doing, even if it could be dangerous for him. She cared about him, Hestia couldn't deny that, so she worried. "Sometimes that's why I worry, I know that you're too stubborn to leave," Hestia said with a sigh. "I just don't want you making unwise judgments on my behalf." She ran her fingers over his hand, smiling at his blush.

"An exhibition would probably be good for the place, it'd probably help with business, even if it would mean more...publicity," Hestia said. One of the reasons that Viktor came to London was to get away from the publicity of his home, so Hestia hoped that his curator would take that into consideration while planning any sort of event.

"I used to think that the quiet days at the hospital were horrible when I first started my training, mostly because there was nothing to do. Now I'm glad for the quiet times when they come my way," she said, pushing her teacup away.

Viktor nodded as he chewed his bread, the exhibition would help the museum , but he coudln't help but think there were other things at work, until now the curator had never shown interest in advertising the museum, he had been content to just have his pieces and enjoy life and now he was talking about brining in more guests.

There was the publicity aspect of it as well. But he didn't think his stalker would cross to Britain, there was too much upheaval. "I vill survive the publicity I think, if I am lucky I vill only be named as Assistant curator."

Hestia did look upset, telling him there was more going on than a busy hospital. She loved her work. "It vill be ok възлюбена, it might take time but it vill be. " He reached for her hand and gave it a squeeze.

Hestia nodded, her fingers moving easily into place beside Viktor's. "I just wish that I knew how much time," she said somberly as she gripped his hand.

Hestia knew what she needed to do to keep him safe, to keep him from being connected to her should things become more desperate, but she hadn't yet prepared herself for that. She felt like she only had two options: tell Viktor everything and only endanger him more, or convince him that she wasn't the sort of woman he should be with right now and break ties to keep him safe. She didn't want to make either decision, but sooner or later, she knew how much he meant to her, and Hestia knew that she would have to do something.
