Chapter 14

It had been a couple of weeks since Harry had been poisoned by the Dead Man's Blood potion. As a result, Severus had gotten his way and there were guards that watched over the three teens. Quite a few of the students had noticed the guards milling around the school, but those that commented on it were few and far between. They weren't exactly sure what to think of the guards, yet that was because they had never seen guards at the school before. In that moment, however, neither of the three fourth years were worrying about the guards that were watching them. Their attention was instead drawn to Viktor Krum, for he was walking right up to them.

Viktor glanced over at the guard that was watching him, but didn't say anything. Harry saw the look on the guard's face and waved his hand in a gesture that Severus had taught him. It was used to tell the guards that everything was all right. It was one of the only ways to get the guards to relax for even a minute. Viktor shook his head. "I heard about what happened. I hope that you're fine." He was looking Harry up and down. Harry nodded in response to his concerns. Viktor returned the nod and looked around. It appeared as if he was on the look out for someone else attacking the group.

Draco opened a door and gestured them all into the empty classroom. He knew that they didn't need to have their conversation where everyone could hear them. The group walked into the room and made sure that the guard stood by the door. Draco then looked at Viktor. "What did you need to talk to us about?"

Viktor rubbed his eyes and sighed. "My king has heard about the poison being used against you, Harry. He's panicking." He shook his head. "He's worried that this will cause all of his careful work to come undone. He thinks that the alliance will be destroyed by this incident. In fact, he feels that he could be blamed for it." He looked at Harry to see what the boy would say in regards to that.

Harry sighed and shook his head. "There's no need to panic. Father isn't blaming anyone other than the person that did it. That's why the guards are here. They don't want anyone else getting attacked, especially me. So, what can we help you with? I can tell that you want to talk about something else." He was watching Viktor and had noted that the teen was nervous about something. It told Harry that there was something more than the alliance to worry about.

Viktor looked around the room and made sure that there wasn't anyone spying on them. He returned his attention onto the fourth years when he was certain that nobody was spying on them. "The first task of this damned tournament is coming up." The three nodded. They knew that and were glad that they weren't participating in it. Viktor rubbed his eyes. "Karkaroff will do what he can to cheat. I know this. He wants me to win. He wants to get one over on those in the United Kingdom. He wants to prove himself to certain people. He's angered that he lost you, Harry. As ridiculous as it sounds, he believes that all vampires should come to Durmstrang. He finds it insulting that the aristocracy and royalty of the Veranuci aren't attending Durmstrang." He shook his head again. He couldn't believe what he had to say on that one. It seemed utterly ridiculous to him. "You need to tell King Sirius about the man. I know that he'll try to use me winning as a way to pull you to his side. That's if I win of course. I partly think that he wants us…Together." Neither Harry nor Viktor liked that idea. In fact, that particular idea caused Draco to possessively wrap his arms around Harry.

Harry rubbed his eyes and shook his head. "This is not right. It's more like he wants to be turned. I've seen people do this kind of thing when they want to become vampires." Viktor nodded in agreement. Harry's eyes widened at that. "That's what he really wants, isn't it?" Viktor nodded again. Harry and Draco rolled their eyes. Blaise just shook his head. Harry looked at Draco. The two mentally spoke to each other and nodded. Harry looked at Viktor again. "All right, we'll take care of it." Viktor nodded in thanks and left.

Draco looked at him. "I don't like this." Harry nodded in agreement. The two then waited a moment and left the room with Blaise. None of them wanted to think about the situation. In fact, Harry wasn't sure what to think. It wasn't something that he had thought about before. Blaise was staring down the hall. Draco looked at him. "Anything to add?" Blaise shook his head. He was increasingly silent, but that was normal for him. Yet, they now had something new to add to their problems. Their lives were troubled, so very troubled.

A/N: Well, here we are. It seems that there are more issues happening. Hope that you enjoyed. Later.
