Zipping airborne objects were no match for a Seeker, and it didn't take long for Viktor's fingers to nab the buzzing toy from the air above him. Even with a shorter than average stature, and legs that were a bowed from years on horseback and on a broom, he had no difficulty catching the small object.

"Careful with the merchandise, Krum! Can't have you catching them all at once," yelled one of the Weasleys from the upstairs balcony.

Viktor grinned, releasing the self-propelled pixie toy that turned to stick its little blue tongue out at him before flitting away. "I would never dream of such a thing, George. What are you meant to do with this pixie, anyhow?"

"The creativity for the prank is left to the prankster!" A quick, saucy salute, and the shop owner disappeared again behind a throng of children with a multitude of questions, the most prominent of which how do we not get caught?

"We could make it a race," said another voice behind him, "see who could catch the most in five minutes?"

"Make it three minutes, and you have a deal," Viktor replied cheekily.

Harry pushed the hair out of his eyes and grinned widely, a much happier tableau than Viktor witnessed minutes before. It never got easier being hounded by reporters and fans for photographs, but the approach to a Quidditch star felt much less hostile than the way they approached the Boy Who Lived, and Harry was beginning to be more relaxed with the positive attention.

It appeared as though Quality Quidditch Supplies had been able to garner a demonstration on a new broom from the newest Seeker for England, from his disheveled appearance. Or Harry managed to sneak away from the crowds before becoming overwhelmed. The latter was much more likely.

Viktor loved the windswept, deliriously happy, and relaxed posture of his partner, and expressed that with a sweep of his hand across his cheek. The flush of a pleased blush creeping on Harry's neck was even more endearing than the way wind painted his cheeks red.

Not one for public displays of affection, Harry grabbed Viktor's hand and squeezed it gently, a promise for later dancing on the edge of his smile.
