It was a great day outside, but Ron, Krum, and I had divination homework, due after lunch. Of course, it was another star chart. Amazingly, divination was one of Krum's strong subjects, so he finished rather quickly. He "helped" us with ours, and we still had about 20 minutes before our next class. We ate lunch and left for divination. We entered the trap door, to find the room decorated with hearts and arrows. This was quite odd, because it was almost Halloween. "Hello, everyone!" Trelwaney said ion an even peppier voice than normal; "today we will be talking about the interpretation of love!". "OH GREAT!" Ron mumbled, "Another lesson on the facts of life!" She told us to work out of 'The Dream Oracle', page 357. "Now" she began, "I will pair you off. Ron and Hermione, Julie and Dean, Seamus and Lavender." "OH!" she exclaimed, "That leaves me with two young men... oh well, Viktor and Harry, you can work together."
Quite frankly, I was glad that I was paired with Krum... I had always fancied him anyway, and only he would have to know. We decided that he could read my hand first. I watched him as he followed the instructions out of the book. I looked at his face, and a sudden look of surprise spread across his face. Then, all of the sudden, he kissed me! As soon as I realized what was happening, I kissed him back.
Hermione saw us, and ran out of the room. Trelwaney was trying to direct the classes attention to the front of the room. TOO LATE!! I already heard endless gasps coming from around the room. I never wanted that moment to end.
The bell rang, and we unlocked lips, and left as if nothing has happened. I didn't see Ron for the rest of the day. I figured he was avoiding me. Viktor and I walked together for the rest of the day. After dinner, in the Common Room, we were talking, and he asked me to Hogsmeade. I immediately wanted to say yes, but then thought about Hermione. "But what about Hermione?" I asked. Well 'Arry, you've got to remember, she broke up with me." he replied with an odd look on his face. "If you think it'll be alright with Hermione... then Ok." I said, and we went off to bed.
Everyone was in line, waiting for filch to sign us out. Krum seemed calm, but I had a HUGE pit in the bottom of my stomach.
Filch signed us out, and we awaited a carriage. When one finally came, we got in, and he asked, "Can you see them?". "See what? Who?" I replied. -"The thestrals... can you see them?"
-"Well yes," I said uneasily, "I- I saw Cedric die..."
-"Oh yes, yes, I'm sorry 'Arry, I must've forgotten."
I hoped that the topic of Cedric wasn't a bad sign... considering my date with Cho.
The carriage pulled into Hogsmeade, and Krum said that he had a surprise for me. Neither of us had said a word since we had talked about the thestrals. "I've got a surprise for you!" Krum exclaimed. He blindfolded me, and guided me throughout a noisy Hogsmeade. He sat me down, and took off my blindfold. My first thought was "NO FUCKING WAY!" It was Madame Puddifoot's Tea Shop!
"So, do you like it?" He asked. I looked around. Our table was decorated with floating snitches, quaffles, and brooms. "Of course I like it!" I replied. "With a guy like you, who wouldn't?" -"Oh thanks 'Arry! I got up early this morning, just for you." We talked for what must've been hours, because it was around midday when he told me he had YET ANOTHER surprise for me. He led me to an alley behind Madame Puddifoot's, where we took a portkey to an empty room. We stepped into the adjacent room, where I saw THE TORNADOES! They were all excited, but not nearly as excited as I was.
I had this sudden urge to kiss him, so I grabbed him by the robes, and kissed him. I felt this feeling, it was a feeling that I hadn't felt in a long time, a good feeling. We stopped kissing, I opened my eyes, and found that the entire Tornadoes tem was tuned the other way. Ok guys, "VERY FUNNY" said Krum Everyone laughed. Roderick Plumpton, the Tornadoes' seeker, said, "Krum called in a favor for you to meet us, not for us to watch you get all mushy on us." -"Oh... sorry about that" I blushed. - "Now, lets go play a game... lets say at Hogwarts, 3:00 on the dot." Plumpton said.
-"HOLD ON A SECOND, WHADDA' YA MEAN PLAY??"
- "Well 'Arry, now ya don't think that we'd come see ya' without PLAYING now do you?"
