Wake Up Viktor
Viktor Krum turned over in his sleep slapping away the affections of his new dog.
"No. Too early," he grumbled, trying in vain not to open his eyes and allow the blinding sunlight past his eyelids.
He was too tired, and he ached all over after the lengthy and vigorous Quidditch match he had played the previous day against Wales. He had been on his broomstick in the cold, and rain for almost sixteen hours straight before he caught the snitch. Was it too much to ask that his dog allow him to have a lie in?
His dog, Buki ran up and down his bed excitedly and began to bark.
"Buki, no," Viktor moaned, wondering if it would be rude of him to call down to reception and request someone to come up and take his impatient dog for a walk. "Calm down. Later."
A rough, wet, insistent tongue began to lick the side of his face, and he knew that it was fruitless to fight the inevitable. His dog would only continue to badger him for attention until he conceded, or at least that is what his friends had told him.
"Kay, Okay, I'm up Buki," Viktor said, climbing out of his lovely warm bed, and getting dressed.
Less than ten minutes later, Viktor left the hotel with an eager and excited Buki on the end of the lead. It seemed as though his dog was very keen to explore everything London had to offer, and pee on every lamppost.
Viktor saw more of London during his walk with Buki, than he had since he had arrived in the capital city a week ago, and he soon discovered that having a dog was not only a good conversation starter but also a way to meet new and interesting people who had no idea who he was.
