***start***
"Hey, thanks a bunch, Harry." Hermione said as they climbed out of the carriage. The other prefects were already there, including Professor McGonagall and Professor Dumbledore.
"C'mon now, hurry along," Professor McGonagall told them, ushering them towards the castle.
As they entered the chamber after the Great Hall, Professor Dumbledore spoke up.
"As prefects, I ask you to guide all the other Durmstrang students around. Our castle laid many secrets, some that even I do not know about. That is all."
Harry and Hermione turned to leave, but McGonagall held her back. "Miss Granger, a word if you please. Mr. Potter, you can stay outside and wait for her."
Harry nodded and went out of the chamber, leaning against the wall beside the closed door. A few moments later, Dumbledore went away with a smile and closed the door behind him. Harry pressed his ear near the door to hear what they were talking about.
"Miss Granger, you are to guide Mr. Viktor Krum inside Hogwarts." Professor McGonagall stated.
"Why me? Why couldn't Harry do it, or the Head Girl, or the Head Boy?" Hermione protested. She didn't want the idea of being with Viktor all the time; lessening the chances of spending time with her dear Harry.
"I'm sorry, Miss Granger, but that is specially requested." McGonagall said quite sadly. "Don't you like Mr. Krum?"
"Well…it's not that. I mean…" She couldn't think of saying anything else. She blurted out what she had in mind. " Yes. I don't like him."
Hermione's face fell.
"Why is that? Is there anything going on between you and Mr. Krum? If there is something, I'll quite understand."
"No…nothing's going on between us," Hermione sighed. 'I wish Professor McGonagall would say that about Harry and me. Then I'd say a quick yes.' She thought. Her eyes drifted from McGonagall's face to the snow that covered the ground outside.
"If you'd like my advice, I would be happy to help. I had that problem once." The professor said with a very rare smile. Her eyes twinkled. Hermione was shocked to hear Professor McGonagall to be in love, since it seems that se was so strict.
"You did?"
"Well, sort of. Like a love triangle between Mr. Potter, you, and Mr. Krum."
"How'd you know that?"
"I have my ways." Professor McGonagall told her nicely. "But, that's all for now. I'll try to convince Mr. Krum to have Ms. Chang to be his guide. Well, be off then. You wouldn't want your sweetie to be waiting." Professor McGonagall chuckled.
"PROFESSOR!!!!!" Hermione wailed.
"Go on, then. Go on." McGonagall said.
"Yes. Thank you Professor." As Hermione reached for the handle, she heard something shift a bit. She decided it was just Professor McGonagall and proceeded outside.
"So, what's that all about?" Harry said, trying to look innocent.
"Umm…. Nothing. Professor just wanted to talk to me. But—" She suddenly turned serious. (Not Sirius!!!) "I need you to help me, Harry. You've got to stay with me every time."
"Even when you sleep?" Harry said, trying to cheer Hermione up.
"No. Not that. I just want you two to stay close to me while Viktor's around. Gosh…what about my Arithmancy classes?" Hermione said worriedly.
"Don't fret like Malfoy the ferret (no offense, porkypop. I know you love draco d' dragon.)," Harry said, this time making Hermione laugh. "I'll go with you. Your Arithmancy class starts twenty minutes before my Divination class. Ron can't go. You know how slow he eats when Lavender's within a one mile radius from him." Hermione laughed again. Her heart was like jumping in joy every time she was near him. As she stared longer and longer into his bright emerald-green eyes, she felt color rising up her face.
"Awwwww… That's so sweet!" Lavender giggled as she and Ron entered the Great Hall. Ron was blushing redder than his flaming red hair, for Lavender had her arm tangled with his.
Hermione quickly looked away fromhis tempting handsome face, so did Harry.
"You guys really look great together. I should know." Parvati came in, arm in arm with Dean Thomas.
"Why is everyone picking on us?" Hermione wailed.
"What do you mean? Even the teachers are questioning you, aren't you?" Ron teased them.
"You have to accept the fact that you are the most popular pair in the school." Dean added, in a casual tone.
"You're saying it like it's the most normal thing in the world!" Harry objected. Voices were heard coming from the entrance hall.
"I never saw Herm-own-ninny again after that. I think she vants to get avay from me." Viktor Krum said in a hushed tone. Harry beckoned the others to hide Hermione from the view.
'Parvati's right. He's so sweet…he really cares for me.' She thought happily.
"Avay from you? Viktor Krum, the great Bulgarian seeker? That can't happen. You're famous!" a friend of his said.
"But—" Viktor retorted, but his friend cut him off.
"May be she just vants you to notice her more."
"Maybe." Viktor sighed heavily. Then he spotted Harry, Ron, Lavender, Parvati and Dean in the Great Hall.
"Hey Harry, did you find or see Herm-own-ninny?"
"No." Harry said quickly.
"Oh vell then. Ve'll see you all later. Thanks anyvay." With that he set off towards the huge Dursmstrang ship.
"Thanks Harry. I owe you two." Hermione sighed. 'He's so handsome…' she thought again.
"That's okay Herm. You don't have to." Harry replied, swinging his arm around her. Hermione blushed.
"Okay. There goes the mushy stuff." Ron joked, apparently noticing Hermione blush.
"Look at you, Mr. Red in the Face." Hermione threw back. They laughed, and if possible, Ron even got redder as they headed back to their common room.
Harry maintained his arm where it was, circled around Hermione's shoulders. As of rhim, it was perfect, like holding her was the best thing ever he had experienced. 'Wait…am I having a crush on Herm?' Harry asked himself. He brooded on that thought while they walked all the way to the seventh floor, where the Fat Lady's portrait was, covering a portrait hole that leads to the Gryffindor Common Room.
***Dumbledore's Office***
"They sure are good together." Dumbledore smiled, looking at the orb that was revealing what was happening in Harry's life down there, or, logically, up there. (Dumbeldore's office is on the 2nd floor right?)
"Are you sure this is going to work Albus? The last time we played matchmaker was when Lily and James were still here." Minerva McGonagall reasoned.
"We're just having a little fun. Being Headmasters and Headmistresses are sometimes boring isn't it?" Dumbledore defended.
"I guess you do have your point." McGonagall sighed, looking down at her orb and observing Harry and his friends chatting happily inside the common room.
"You know, this reminds me of James and Sirius' gang. They were like this when they were here." Albus added.
"They sure are…"
