"Krum?" Harry wondered what happened to him. He had long black hair, his nose was straight. And he looked handsome. Not grumpy anymore. Harry went over to help him carry his bags.
"How are you Harry, Where's Hermionene? She is usually with you"
"She left with Ron. I had to stay after class."
"I
hope I am in Gryffindor with her. I love her. We can spend time
together"
Harry knew there would be trouble but he did not
care. He wanted Ron to break up with Hermione so he can have her. But
he guessed he'd just have to make Krum move too.
"I
was told to report to Dumbledores's office."
Harry led him to
the staircase leading to Dumbledore's office. Then he realized he did
not know the password.
"Fizzing Weezbie" cried a voice behind him. It was Professor Mcgonnagal.
"Potter, you shall come up to Dumbledore's office with me. We shall speak with you after Mr. Krum here is sorted into his appropriate house." They went up the spiral stairs and into Dumbledore's office.
"Ah, Mr. Krum. I see you have help with your things. Now I want you to have a seat here and you will be sorted." Dumbledore put the hat on Krum.
"This
ones not so difficult. There's plenty of talent. Bravery is shown.
And a great thirst to prove himself. Well, Well, Well... reminds me
of my dear friend Mr. Potter. In any case... GRYFFINDOR."
Dumbledore reached over to Krum and took the hat off. Then he
said to him. "If you would please wait out side, Mr. Potter will
direct you to your dormitory. Your belongings will be waiting for you
when you arrive there."
Krum left and Dumbledore and
Mcgonnagal turned to Harry.
"Harry, I understand that you are still having unusual dreams. With what happened last year, i expected you to come to me immediately. So, I will be teaching you Occlumency from now on. Every other day at 8:00, you will report here to me, I will send you any password changes."
"But how did you know I was having dreams. It is just a boy running in a corridor. It's not like Voldemort is showing me anything."
"Potter, Voldemort moves in mysterious ways that you would not understand. Every since this afternoon, I knew you were having dreams about..."
"Minerva,
please escort Harry outside, then please summon Snape to me."
Harry had the feeling that something was going on that they did
not want him to know. He felt really mad at that. After all, Sirius
dies because Dumbledore had not been open to him. What would happen
now? Harry took Krum around the school for a tour. He tried to
explain things with him but all he cared about was finding Hermione.
Harry did not want to tell him that Ron was going out with Hermione.
Naughty, Naughty, Harry.
As Harry and Krum approached the Fat
Lady's portrait, it swung open and...
"AHHHHHHHH"
It was Hermione. She was hand in hand with Ron and when she said Krum, she screamed. Harry had a satisfied grin on his face.
"Victor?"
"Hermione? How are you? Oh you look so different. Your more beautiful than I thought"
"Whoa. Wait a sec. This is Krum?" stuttered Ron.
"Yes
I am he. Hello Ron,"
People were starting to come out of the
common room to see who screamed.
"Hey? What's going on here?"
"Who screamed?"
"Who's that?
Questions were thrown at them from every direction. They managed to escape the crowd and they headed to Harry's dormitory. It seemed bigger in a way. There was one extra bed placed there and Krum's stuff was at the foot of that bed. Krum and Harry sat on Harry's bed and Ron and Hermione were on Ron's bed.
"So, you mean to tell me, that this is Krum? Victor Krum? The one that was here two years ago?" asked Ron
"Yes Ronald. Now shut up." said Hermione.
"Hermionene, I wanted to speak to you. I hope you got my letter. I know we decided to see other people but I love you. I just can't see me without you." said Krum.
Harry glanced at Ron, who had his mouth open and did not even notice a fly go in and out of his mouth.
"But Victor, you don't understand..."
"I understand that I cannot live without you." He reached into his bag and brought out a very nice sparkly gold bottle.
"This is for you. I bought it. i know you like the other one I brought you before".
"HEY KRUM. HERMIONE IS WITH ME. I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE. BARGING IN HERE AND TRYING TO START THINGS ALL OVER. YOU WERE OVER ALONG TIME AGO. AND..."
"Silencio." Krum had his wand pointing at Ron.
"Victor, no!" screamed Hermione. Harry stood up. He might have been jealous of Ron but nobody was going to attack Ron while he was there.
"Hermionene, please just give me a chance." said Krum.
"But Victor, I...I... oh my goodness." She got up and ran from the dormitory.
The next day was no better. Hermione was giving in on Krum and Harry could tell. Even though Harry wanted Hermione, he could not help feeling a little sorry for Ron.
Hermione, Harry, and Ron were sitting under the tree next to the lake that they always sit under.
"Hermione, you know I love you, right?" said Ron. Harry did not want to listen to this. He tried to start up another conversation but Ron kept on going.
"Who does he think he is. Just walking into Hogwarts and trying to steal someone's girl. How dare he."
"Ron. Please. Just let it go. Victor was someone who is long gone. I don't even like him anymore." said Hermione and she glance at Harry and Harry knew she was lying. Harry knew that she liked Krum and Ron but that was not good news to him. Harry now also knew that he had competition. He would have to get rid of Krum.
"Hermione, are we still on for tomorrow? You know, Valentines Day at Hogsmeade."
"Yeah sure."
"Hermionene." It was Krum. He walked over to them and Ron stood up and pulled his wand out.
"I want you to stay away from her ok! She is my girlfriend. So if I were you, I would not go close to her or else." said Ron.
"Is that a threat?" retorted Krum.
"Yes. It is."
"And do you thing a sixth year like you frightens me?" said Krum pulling out his wand.
"STOP IT!" screamed Hermione. "Victor, what do you want?"
"I have to talk to you. Alone." he added looking at Ron.
"Well...um. Ok." They went to the other side of the lake.
"Hermionene. Can you please give me a chance? Please."
"Victor, I have a boyfriend. Can't you understand that?"
"Yes, I do but come on. you know I can do better. What has he ever gotten you?"
"Well..."
"Exactly. Well can you meet me at the Three Broomsticks tomorrow please?"
"I don't know. I promised Ron I would go with him tomorrow. And it's Hermione." she added.
"Sorry. Please Hermione. Just for 5 minutes."
"Well, ok."
"Thanks." He gave her a kiss on the cheeks and walked away. Hermione went back to ROna nd Harry. Somehow, she knew that there was going to be troubble tomorrow. Even if she goes to see him without Ron. She just had a bad feeling. Ron kept on asking Hermione what Krum asked her but she bit her lip and refused to tell him.
