Aphrodi hasn't slept well that night. Her traiturous mind kept wandering back to Krum. It's always Krum, Krum, Krum.
'No, Viktor.' She groaned in frustration as the picture of a smiling Bulgarian began etching itself in her mind. 'Ugh. No it's Krum...' The blond sighed in defeat. What's wrong with her? Why was she always thinking of Kr-Viktor?
'He's Handsome,' A voice, which reminded her much of Sierra, echoed in her mind. Aphrodi closed her eyes as she ignored Sierra's voice, 'He only smiles for you, doesn't he? Stupid girl- you LIKE him, Aphrodi, you know you do. Don't you see the way he looks at you?'
Okay, this is getting Creepier by the minute.
Aphrodi hoisted herself up, putting on her slippers and exiting the cabin. She walked down the corridor, retracing her steps back to the deck. She passed the kitchens and the dining hall as she went up the stairs. She saw an odd 'VK' sign in front of a cabin door.
Curious, the blond opened the door slowly. She gasped, knowing that she was invading HIS privacy- of all people.
Viktor Krum was sleeping soundly on the only bed in the small room. His dark red hair was all over the white pillow, his face peaceful and almost... vulnerable.
Swallowing the lump in her throat, she closed the cabin door and padded towards the ship's deck. 'Sierra's right- he IS handsome,' She thought with a dreamy sigh. 'Maybe I DO like him,'
There was something very wrong with that thought.
"I never noticed that he has dimples. Why haven't I noticed he has dimples?" She mumbled to herself, twirling her hair. It has become a habit while she's thinking. "And that his teeth are very white, his hair is a more reddish shade of magenta and his eyebrows aren't really that thick- what the bloody hell am I talking about?"
She scowled at her traitorous mouth. When did she even act so Stalker-like and began Obsessing over Viktor Krum?

Aphrodi woke up feeling light-headed. Was it all a dream? 'No.' She sighed, regretting even getting out of bed so late at night. As she neared the bathroom, however, she caught sight of Viktor Krum. She blushed, wanting to hide somewhere, but she found herself being steered towards him until they bumped into each other.
"Oh- G-Good Morning Krum," She stammered, looking at her feet. Viktor blushed slightly and smiled. "Good Morning." She saw that Krum's already in his robes. Blushing again, she smiled up at the Bulgarian.
"See you at Breakfast, yeah?"
"Of Course."

The pair ate smoked salmon and scrambled eggs for breakfast- all the while trying to make small talk with the others. As Karkaroff anounced that they were almost at Hogwarts, the students were sent to their cabins to gather up their things.
