Ron looked at what he had just done. 'Feel happy,' a voice inside his head said to him. And he did. Ron felt extremely happy that he just knocked out Harry.

"No!" Ron said fighting the voice in his head. "I am not happy!" Ron tried and tried to fight the voice, but the voice just laughed and said, 'Give in. I am stronger. Now, go back to the Gryffindor common room by using the new password, Bulgarian Qudditch, and find Hermione.'

Although Ron did not want to do this, he heard himself say, "Bulgarian Qudditch." And the voice inside his head laughing. When Ron found Hermione, she was looking at, well, at nothing really. Just staring into space.

"No, Viktor, please." Hermione said grabbing hold of something in the air. It looked like a firm grip. Then it all fit together. 'Yes, very good, Ronnie boy.' The Voice said. 'I, Viktor Krum, put the Crusticous(?) Curse on you, made you knock out Harry so you would look like a bad guy and get Harry out of my way to get Herm-own-ninny back.'

'You can speak perfect English now, why do you still call her that nasty name?' Ron asked the voice in his head. The voice laughed. Krum was laughing at him. ' Because, fool, it makes her knees melt. She will love me again.' The voice laughed and laughed.

After hitting his head and ramming into walls many times to break the spell, Ron was free. " What, not calling him Vicky yet?" Ron said as soon as he was free to let Hermione know Ron knew Krum was there. "Look, Hermione, I know you're not going to believe me, but Krum, he's not good."

Now, you must realize, by this point, Hermione was utterly confused. She started out today thinking she would never be back in the Gryffindor common room. Then she found out her love, Harry liked her back. Ron almost ran away, but stayed after a heart-to-heart talk with Hermione. Then her very possessive ex-boyfriend, Viktor Krum, was back (under Harry's invisibility cloak). Ron beat up Harry, and then he ran into walls and practically went crazy. All before 10:00 o'clock mind you.

"Ron, you're going crazy. Krum is here, under an invisibility cloak, but he's not horrible." Hermione said slowly, carefully choosing her words. "He explained to me that you went crazy with jealousy and you beat up Harry. Ron, please get some help. I'm telling you as a friend."

"I'm not crazy. Krum, wherever he is, put a Crusticous(?) Curse on me. He made he knock out Harry. I just did one punch; I did not beat him up. He made me go crazy, hitting my head and ramming into walls." Ron said just as slowly as Hermione had to make a point. "I'm not jealous of you and Harry. I've moved on. I know that can't seem possible, but it is."

"It is true, herm-own-ninny." Krum said, pulling off the cloak. "I am a stronger wizard than Ronnie boy here. Also Harry, who got knocked out with one punch. I am so much better. Come back to me, I know you want to. You need me Hermione."

"Do I, Krum?" Hermione said. "I don't think so." She walked over to Ron. "This is my friend. You were never my friend and you never will be. I do not need you, Krum. Now go back to your precious Dark Lord."

"What?" Harry yelled as he stumbled into the room.
