^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"It's awfully cold this year,isn't it?"said Hermione Granger who was walking with Ronald Weasley and Harry Potter down the corridors to the Gryffindor common room.
Harry saw the Hogwarts grounds from one of the windows they passed,and it seemed as though somebody with an awfully large paint brush decided to paint everything white,because they had nothing else to do.
Infront of him were his two best friends; there was Hermione,who was a pretty and very studious young witch who had an obsession with house-elf rights during their 4th year,although now she seemed to have accepted the fact that serving people was what house-elfs did best.
And then there was Ron Weasley,who was starting another argument with Hermione about the the weather.
Yes,Ron was the sarcastic one.
He and Hermione would have a big argument at least once a week.
But even though Ron would often be sarcastic and make jokes (usually about Proffessor Trelawney),Harry knew he could trust Ron with his life,no matter what happened....In the meantime though,Harry had to deal with Ron and Hermione's bickering.
"Oh,will you two stop it," said Harry,grabbing the both of them by their arms and walking in between them,
"Its Christmas you know,and I'm looking forward to a well deserved Snape-free vacation.Not you two bickering all month,"and Harry let go of their arms.
"Sorry Harry",said Hermione.Harry was just about to agree with her when Hermione abruptly continued,
"its just that Ron,over there keeps on saying-",
"Me!?" said Ron,in mock surprise,
"Hermione,what is wrong about wondering what happens to the giant squid when the lake freezes!?"
"Whats wrong is that,you won't believe me when I say that only the top part of the lake freezes! I mean, its all there in Hogwarts a history you know."
"I will not believe you,because I think that not all of the books you read are right Hermione!" retorted Ron.
And soon the two were onto a new subject to argue about ; Hermione's books.
Harry,who was still walking between them,didn't really care what happened to the squid,or whether or not Hermione's books were all right,infact he thought that Ron and Hermione's whole sparring session was silly.
But Harry left it at that.
Sure,their arguments were annoying,but after knowing Ron and Hermione for 5 long years Harry had mastered the time-tested art of "Ignoring two bickering people".
Besides,Harry always knew that Ron and Hermione only argued with each other because they liked each other.
Ah yes,Harry knew alright.He saw Ron's jealousy over Krum in there fourth year.He saw Hermione frown when Fleur Delacour smiled at Ron.He also found a miniature arm that was snapped off a small model of a Bulgarian Quidditch player(which he suspected was Krum) under Ron's bed.
And all the other times,one of them got jealous over someone who was a "potential threat".
Harry knew,but he just could'nt believe how they could like each other without even noticing themselves.
"Flobberworms",said Ron as they stood infront of the portrait of the fat lady.
They had reached the entrance to the Gryffindor common room and soon they were inside,heading for their usual corner which was near the fireplace and a tall frosty window.
It was when Hermione put down the 5th book she was carrying in her arms,on the table,when all three of them heard a tapping sound from outside the window.
All three looked outside and saw a big owl wearing something like a school crest,much like the school owls at Hogwarts did,tapping from the outside of the tall window.
Ron stood up and opened the window to let the owl in.
"Who's it for?"asked Harry,as Hermione untied the letter from the owls leg,while Ron held the owl still.
Hermione turned the envelope over and to their surprise found that it was addressed to Hermione.
Or rather Herm-own-ninny.
"Well its for me..."replied Hermione blankly.
Harry knew only one person who called Hermione that way,and he glanced up at Ron,to see what his reaction was,but Ron was too busy trying to pull his homework out from under the big school owl's talons.
Harry looked back at Hermione,and saw her reading with a small grin playing on her face.Ron, who was still tugging on his homework finally said,
"Well then-Get off you stupid owl! -who is it from and what -does it say?".
After a few moments,Hermione looked up from the letter with a big grin,and said in a quiet voice,as though trying not to be heard...
"Viktor."
"WHAT?" said Ron and at that very same moment the piece of homework he was tugging at ripped and Ron toppled over landing on his back with a loud thump.
The big school owl flew over and landed on the back of Harry's chair,trying to get away from the commotion.
Hermione hurried over to Ron,but before she could help him up,Ron was on his feet ,with a mix of confusion and anger on his face.
"What did he say?!" asked Ron,in a tone that reminded Harry of his uncle Vernon.
"He said he was going to come and visit me this Friday.And that he would be staying for a week at Hogsmeade." said Hermione calmly,walking over to her chair and sitting down again.
"B-But he can't come!! Much less stay for that matter!"
Harry was beginning to see another wave of jealousy take over Ron,and tried to supress a smile,Harry always found arguments such as these very amusing.
"And why not?" asked Hermione as if daring Ron to give an answer that was good enough to satisfy her.
"Because...because-" Ron looked at Harry,but Harry only grinned back,stroking the Durmstrang school owl.
"Because its Christmas,Hermione!" said Ron.
With this Harry let out a snort of laughter,Ron had said it as though if Viktor Krum came,Christmas would somehow magically turn into Halloween.
Harry turned his head and looked at Hermione,and it seemed as though she too was fighting the urge to laugh at Ron's lame excuse.
"What?",asked a bewildered Ron looking at both of his friends.
Hermione answered him through a fit of giggles,
"Ron,I think it would a great idea for Viktor to come and visit us this Christmas,you could introduce him to Fred and George and everybody else-",
"But i dont want to introdu-",
Hermione continued,"Oh Ron,I'm sure Viktor would be very happy to see all of us,and we could all have fun.Right Harry?"
She turned to Harry,
"Er-yeah,I guess so..."said Harry.
And then, before Ron could think of another reason to keepKrum from coming,
Hermione stood up and took the Durmstrang school owl,and said
"Well,now that thats settled I think I'll go write a letter to Viktor.Good night boys".
She then gave Harry and Ron a goodnight kiss on the cheek, and walked over to the stairs to the girls dormitory with all her books in her arms,and a big grey owl perched on her shoulders.
Ron just stared at Hermione's back as she walked away.Meanwhile,Harry couldn't help but wonder if the Ron-Hermione-Krum triangle could get anymore interesting than this.
