Three days after the announcement the schools arrived. Carina sat in the courtyard as the flying horses brought the Beauxbatons carriages and the Durmstrang ship emerged from the lake.
As Carina walked she turned a corner she saw Viktor Krum talking to Ron and Harry. She quickly hid and listened to their conversation. "What do you want, Krum?" Ron asked. "I vas just vondering if you knew vhere Hermione vas." He said. "That's none of your business." Ron spat and drug Harry away. Carina started walking again, only to run straight into Viktor. "I'm sorry, miss." He said. She looked up at him. "It's okay, I wasn't looking where I was going" Carina said. "Vhat is your name, if I may ask." He said. "Carina Malfoy." She replied. "A beautiful name, the name of the keel constellation." He said. Carina nodded. "You look familiar, do I know you?" He asked. "No, but you probably have seen my brother, Draco." She said. "Ah, yes, I know him. He tormented a girl I liked back vhen ve vere here for the tri-vizard tournament." Carina nodded. "Yeah, but he's a better person now." She said sheepishly, trying to go around him. "Vell, I better go to my quarters." He said, flourishing off. Carina continued on to the Slytherin common room and plopped down next to Draco. "What's wrong? You worried about the ball." Carina lied and nodded her head. "Don't worry about it." He said.
