A/N First Published FanFic... I am open to CONSTRUCTIVE critism, but I don't do this for a living, so please be kind!
If you don't know what constructive critism is, please look it up. Being told that something is painfully bad doesn't make a person feel very good.
Time Frame: During Goblet of Fire
Disclaimer: I am not JK Rowling... I do not own any of her characters, plot, etc. Anything you don't recognize, however, is from my imagination... (That includes Elisaveta, Katerina, Chavdar, and friends, as well as the basic plot and Borislava)
For Future Reference: Italics equals English Language
Warning: I have slightly changed the plot of GOF... nothing major really changes, though!
For Bex - As long as you don't give me your diseases :D
During breakfast this morning, the girls of the Borislava School for Girls got a surprise. The English School, Hogwarts, was going to host the Triwizard tournament. However, since our schools are so small, we are combining with Durmstrang. Now, don't get me wrong, I am very excited, but this means that I have to be in close proximity to him. Viktor Krum. Now, most of the girls in my school are faint at the very thought of him. I, however, am one in a million, and I do not like Viktor Krum. My brother Chavdar tries to convince me otherwise, but I think that Krum is a pompous jerk. Chavdar is biased anyways, since Krum actually likes him. In fact, they are best friends. But I do not like Viktor Krum.
Hearing the other girls' reaction to this news was quite entertaining to listen to as I walked through the hallway to my first class, potions."I wonder if I'll get to talk to Viktor… He's so cute!" I heard one girl say, as I rolled my eyes. Even worse: "I hope Chavdar Petya will sit next to me!" I was thoroughly disgusted. If you haven't experienced it, trust me; hearing girls fawn over your twin like he's a muggle movie star is enough to take your appetite away for a week.
"Elly! Elisaveta!" My best friend Katerina Radeva came hurtling down the hall at me. "Are you excited? One week!" Katy is about as tall as me, 5' 10" or so, and we are both slim and muscled (we actually play sports instead of just watching them).
"Yeah, you? Well obviously… that was a stupid question." I said, laughing. I pushed a lock of my brown hair behind my ear, where it it mixes with the rest of the mass that reaches my shoulder blades. It was curly, while Katy had charmed hers strait this morning. Her blond hair was down to her shoulders.
"Oh, Elly, just don't get into a fight with Viktor and we'll all be just fine!" She said, punching me in the arm. I rolled my eyes.
"I think Chevo will take care of that for me" I said. My twin and I get along great, but he makes sure that I don't get into fights with Viktor.
"I just can't believe that we have to ride in that stupid leaky boat. If it weren't so far, I would just want to apparate there. Or couldn't we portkey?" Katy and I were both seventeen, and in our last year at Borislava.
Turning into our classroom, I settled in for another boring lecture.
Later that week
"Oh, I just wish they would've let us go into Varna this week to get stuff before we left! I would hate to look bad around the boys!"
I looked at Katerina and rolled my eyes, tossing my clothes into a duffle bag. I was not unhappy to have not gone into Varna. Don't get me wrong, I like to look nice, but we usually see the Durmstrang boys at least once a week. Also, if we had gone to Varna and Durmstrang had too, then I would've had to see my brother, who would've dragged me off somewhere hidden to hang out with Viktor. This would not have been fun.
Besides, we still have to wear our uniforms, and there isn't much that can be done about that. Not that our uniforms are that bad, but blood red and black plaid skirts and blouses or polos with the school symbol on them are not that, shall we say, appealing. Not to mention our robe that goes over them if happens to be cold, which it rarely is in Bulgaria.
I share my room with Katy and two others, Viktoriya and Bisera. The latter was the one complaining. I grabbed my bathroom stuff and laid it in my duffle with my shoes and clothes. I threw in a couple of books and a few other things and I was ready to go. Katy packed similarly, (we both pack light… we do have wands, you know!) but Viktoriya and Bisera were not light packers at all.
Eventually all of us that were going to Hogwarts (most of the younger girls were staying) were packed and ready to go. We put on our cloaks and headed over to Durmstrang. Most of us could apparate, so we did, taking those that couldn't side-along. We met the group of boys by the lake near the stupid, leaky ship. Before I knew what was happening, a large muscular form came flying at me and tackled me to the ground.
A/N I know it's short and not so great... but it gets better!
No seriously- I went back and read this chapter, and it kinda sucks. It really does get better!
