Hidden Moments

Chapter 10 - Beauxbatons & Durmstrang

The first meal back at Hogwarts was more luxurious than anticipated, It was full of different selections of food, even some food was completely new to them! Though they were unaware that something major was about to happen - The Triwizard Cup, which Dumbledore had just explained to them.

"Now, let's meet the competitors," Dumbledore smiled. "First we have Beauxbatons!"

The Great Hall doors flung open, and many beautiful girls came rushing through the doors in a silvery-grey uniform that shined in the light. Amoungst the dancing girls, were a very tall woman, a little girl, a very stunning young lady who Ron couldn't take his eyes off.

"W-w-wow." Ron stuttered, his face relaxing as he gazed at her. "She's... beautiful!"

"Oh stop gorming at her, Ronald!" Hermione snapped, her cheeks a radiant pink.

"Oh come of it, look at her!" Ron grinned, eyeing her up again.

"Urgh, your so disgusting!" Hermione was not looking at him now, and was gazing at the door in amazement.

"Thats-"

"VIKTOR KRUM!" Ron shouted a little to loudly, as Krum looked over to Ron and nodded his head slightly, Ron sighed.

"Oh Ronald-" Hermione stopped as Krum smiled at her, and looked away. Hermione felt her heart beating rapidly and her cheeks burning.

"It's Krum, Ginny!" Ron beamed, jumping up and down in his seat.

"Settle down you muppet." Ginny laughed, tapping Hermione on the shoulder and whispering; "I saw what Krum just did!"

Hermione looked at her and giggled, making Ginny smile and wink.

ooo

In the common room later, all Gryffindors were buzzing with excitement and talking rapidly, girls talking about the fittest Durmstrang, boys talking about the sexiest Beauxbaton, but Ron wouldn't shut up about Viktor Krum...

"Oh My MERLIN!" Ron did a little scream and stared at his Krum figurine admiringly.

"Ron, you haven't left that alone yet." Hermione smiled, but couldn't keep her eyes off it either.

"He nodded at me," Ron sighed and sniffed. "Wouldn't it be brilliant if we became friends!"

"No, because you're my best friend!" Harry chuckled. "MINE!"

"What about the girl Ron!" Fred appeared behind him, jumped over the sofa and sat down.

"I know, she was quite fit!" George grinned, sitting beside Fred.

"Honestly, you boys are so-"

"Perverted?" Ginny giggled, sitting on the arm of Hermione's seat.

"Exactly." Hermione smiled and high-fived Ginny.

"Oh shut up," Ron smiled dreamily, grabbed up his stuff and walked to the stairs. "I'm going to bed."

"Yeah, so am I." Harry, Fred and George said together, and ascended the stairs.

"Honestly," Hermione smiled slightly. "Good night."

"NIGHT!" Ron shouted from the top of the stairs.

"RONALD, CALM DOWN!" Hermione shouted back.

"DON'T WANT TO!" Ron shouted. "AHHHHH!"

"Honestly." Hermione laughed and packed her stuff away. "I might go to bed too."

"Okay." Ginny smiled.

"Night." Hermione smiled back.

"Don't dream of Krum all night." Ginny grinned.

"Shut up." Hermione giggled.

But that's exactly what she dreamed of... with the addition of Ron.
