When Viktor entered the ship every single student who had come from Durmstang gave a loud and boisterous applause. Viktor blushed slightly and hurried to his dorm room where an unexpected sight waited. There lounging on his bed was Ivana.
"What are you doing here?" he questioned gruffly.
"Oh, Viktor," Ivana sighed seductively, "you had me so worried. When I heard that dragon roar I was so scared for you." She had moved off the bed and had moved closer to him. Viktor snorted. Ivana was up to something and he didn't want to be a party to it. "Viktor, what is the matter?" she questioned trying to throw her arm around his shoulder.
Viktor shrugged her off. "Why don't you just leave?" he stated opening the door for her. She huffed but took the hint. As she passed through the doorway Katerina and Vlad tried to enter. She gave them a cross look, she never had liked them.
When Ivana had finally exited the room Katerina threw her arms around Viktor, small tears had formed in her eyes. "Vlad told me everything," she choked. "I don't know how you did it…I mean…I never could have…" she trailed off and broke down into hysteric sobs.
"Calm down Kat," Vlad said soothingly, shooting a confused glance over at Viktor who stifled a laugh. "Look Viktor knew what he was doing," Vlad had set Katerina on his bed as she tried to collect herself. "I mean he's been through so much worse. He has to deal with Karkaroff on a daily basis."
Katerina let out a tiny laugh and wiped her eyes, "I know, I know. Oh and Viktor I am so sorry I didn't come, but I just couldn't handle it."
"I understand," Viktor stated. In actuality he didn't completely understand, he knew dragons were frightening but she had never seen one yet was in a panic at the mere thought of being near one. Thinking of the dragon he dug into his robe pocket and pulled out the tiny model of the dragon. It uncoiled in its hand a let out a small, almost affectionate, roar.
Katerina screamed and jumped nearly three feet into the air. "What is that!" she screeched.
"The dragon I had to face," Viktor said calmly setting the figure on his bedside stand. Katerina shivered and got as far away from the dragon figure as possible. Viktor let out a loud laugh, "Katerina, really. It's just a figure, it can't hurt you." Katerina mumbled something in audible and then excused herself from the room.
Once she had left both he and Vlad laughed for what felt like hours. Vlad looked down at the egg, "So, why did you bring that back," he questioned.
"Oh, yeah," Viktor stated and related to Vlad all that Bagman had said. "Well, open it!" Vlad stated eagerly. Viktor nodded and stuck his hand into the grove in the egg, slowly prying it open. The minute the latch was free a screech that was completely unworldly issued from within it. "Oh, close it! Close it! Close it!" Vlad shouted over the screech of the egg.
Viktor snapped it shut and looked at Vlad. Both their faces were pale and startled. "What in the world was that?" Vlad questioned.
"I have no clue," Viktor stated simply.
"Well no use worrying about it now," Vlad said, the shock of the egg's wail had disappeared. "Might as well get some sleep, you look exhausted."
"Yeah I feel like I just fought a dragon," at that they both laughed and got ready for bed.
