Viktor Krum had just come onto the grounds of Durmstrang castle. The castle was covered in thick, white snow. Viktor put his Nimbus 2000 away and came into the large, dark dining hall. A large group of boys were seated, Headmaster Karkaroff. Viktor looked to the floor, his thick eyebrows coming together as his mouth formed a scowl. Usually the Headmaster called them together to talk about how amazing Viktor was on the field, or to brag about their school.
All of the boys were surprised when Karkaroff announced that they would be going to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. "Why are we going there?" blurted Dimitrov. Karkaroff sneered and his eyes flashed coldly "Did I tell you to speak you stupid idiot?" he then went on explaining. After he finished he dismissed them looking annoyed and told them to go pack but sent a house elf for Viktor.
They were about halfway through the journey, and Aleksandr, Nikolai, and Vladislav, Viktor's friends came onto the deck of the ship. "I wish to meet a beautiful English girl" said Aleksandr as Nikolai laughed and said "You? Find a decent girl? You're crazy!" Vladislav said "Viktor? What do you think?" and Viktor looked up and said "I don't need to find girl. I vant to vin this tournament. I haff enough of these crazy girls following me." "Ahh yes I forgot Viktor, you have enough girls throwing their panties at you" said Vladislav. Viktor cast them a dark look before Sergio told them that Karkaroff was searching for Viktor.
Soon the boys could all see the castle through the periscope. Aleksandr hit Nikolai on the back of the head and said "Stupid! You cannot see girls from this far away!" Nikolai said defensively "I vasn't looking for girls!" and Vladislav grinned. Soon they let down their anchor and Aleksandr whistled and said happily "Ah Veela! We are getting luckier!" and Viktor sighed frustrated with his friends childish behavior. He hated the fact that they even had to leave Durmstrang, now he would just get ogled at, asked for autographs, and followed around.
Viktor stepped out in his furs due to his slight head-cold. Karkaroff has of course made a big deal about it at the first sneeze he gave. Viktor had his hand in the fur coat pocket, where there was a glass jar filled with blue flames, keeping him warm, the other hand was clutching his wand, in the other pocket. He walked in with Karkaroff by his side as the rest of the students followed and just barely heard the voice of one of the students whisper "Blimey it's him...it's Viktor Krum!" he just barely shifted his eyes to his left and saw a red-headed boy.
Karkaroff seated them at the Slytherin table. Viktor looked at the golden plates and goblets instead of at any of the students, he could already feel eyes on him and hated it. He chanced a look up when they brought the goblet of fire and glanced around but his eyes stopped curiously on a bushy-headed girl for just a second before looking up at Dumbledore. He heard girls sitting at the table next to them giggling and whispering his name, some were searching for a quill already!
Viktor found Dumbledore a bit odd but then again, Karkaroff had warned them of that. After their feast, which was much better then what they ate at Durmstrang, Karkaroff marched them back to the ship, to bed. He heard that same voice mutter "Bloody hell..." disappointment in his voice, to his black-haired friend, with glasses. A second look showed Viktor that it was Harry Potter but by that time they were already out of the castle. The only interesting thing he'd seen so far was the bushy-haired girl. I vonder vhy she leaves her hair that vay vhen she can charm it vith magic... Viktor thought curiously. His friends just assumed he was thinking of Quidditch, little did they know, he was actually thinking of a Muggle-born...named Hermione Granger.
