He hated Quidditch.
Of course, if he mentioned that to anyone, they would have assumed that he had been hit in the head by a bludger one too many times.
But then that was because most people believed that Viktor Krum's brain was as thick as his body. They assumed, the fools, that his high marks were either doctored to allow him to play on the Bulgarian National Quidditch team or simply the result of the fawning devotion of Headmaster Karkaroff.
There were times, though he was loathe to admit it to himself, that life would have been so much easier if he were simply another daft Quidditch player. The strain of trying to manage a full time career in the sport along with attending Durmstrang to finish his education overwhelmed him at times.
Though some people may have suggested quitting one or the other, it was simply not an option.
He loved transfiguration almost as much as he loved flying. Yes, he did love flying even if he didn't like Quidditch. And he refused to drop out of school because he wanted to be able to do what he was passionate about, wanted to be known for doing something more important than the Wronski Feint.
But there was something even more important, something he only acknowledged to himself in secret.
He didn't really hate Quidditch. No, because being a Seeker for the Bulgarian national team and traveling all over the world to compete in matches allowed him to pursue his real priority:
Being a Seeker for her.
A/N: This is the first fanfiction story that I have written. The Viktor/Hermione pairing is not one that I am familiar with, but while rereading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire I had an inspiration, so I decided to run with it. Any similarity to another author's work is purely coincidental.
In order to maintain the integrity of my work, I will not be reading any stories with Viktor and Hermione as the primary pairing. If you should notice any overlap between my and another author's work that concerns you, please send me a private message so that I can rectify the situation.
As a new writer, your feedback and reviews are critical. Please take the time to provide some constructive criticism. While I enjoy praise of my work as much as anyone, a critique will be more influential in my literary development.
On another note, I am looking for a beta to aide me in the writing process. Please send me a message if you are interested.
