The next morning Harry woke up to a nice and sunny Saturday. He got out of bed and walked down stairs were he found Hermione and Ron were sitting on the couch talking. Harry walked up and sat down next to Hermione. "Good Morning."
"Morning are you two ready to go down and get breakfast?"
"Sure lets go." They got up and went down to the Great Hall. They walked in and found their seats and sat down. Ron was first to start digging in his plate. As Harry was eating he looked over at Hermione and saw that she was picking at her food. About halfway through breakfast Victor walked up and squeezed in beside Hermione.
"I told you that you would see me later. How are you this morning? Would you like to spend the day with me?"
Hermione looked over at him and said, "Go away. I want nothing to do with you."
"Come one all I want to do is talk to you."
"No now please go away."
Victor opened his mouth and was about to say something to her when Harry butted in. "Krum she told you nicely to go away. And I would suggest you do as she asked you."
"Oh really or what."
"I'll beat the crap out of you. Now leave us alone." Harry gave him a very mean look.
Victor got up and left. Hermione looked at Harry and gave him a look of thank you. Harry returned her look with a your welcome. Through the whole thing Ron had never heard a word. Which was a good thing because if he had heard he would want to know what was going on. After eating a little more breakfast the three friends got up and started back to the common room. Half way up Hermione grabbed Harry's hand and pulled him back. "Harry don't leave me alone today please."
"I want leave you." Harry replied. They walked into the common room Hermione walked upstairs to get a book. She walked back down stairs and sat down next to Harry. Harry and Ron were talking while she was reading. Harry was not thinking about what he was doing he placed his arm around her shoulders . After a while Ron got up and went to hang out with one of the other guys in the dorm. Harry looked over at Hermione and asked her, "Want to go on a walk? Maybe we can stop and see Hargid. If you want to."
"Sure let me go up my book up and then we can go."
"Okay I will be right here waiting for you."
Hermione got up and ran upstairs and put the book in her trunk. She came back downstairs and walked over to Harry. They walked out of the common room and down the hallways. Soon they were outside and walking around. They started talking about the next task and what they thought it was.
"I don't know what it could be. Just as long as it does not have to do with the Black Lake ."
"Why do you say that?" Hermione asked him.
"I don't want to chock down that gillyweed again."
"I can image that was not fun." Hermione replied and was snickering.
They keep walking and soon were standing in front of Hargid's hut. Harry knocked on the door. Hagrid opened the door and said, "Hello you two. Where is Ron?"
"Oh he is hang out with Seamus for a little while."
"Well than come on in and have a cup of tea with me."
"Okay." Harry stepped to the side and let Hermione in first.
They stayed there and talked for about an hour so then they left and walked down to the lake. When they got there they sat down on a rock and looked out over the lake. They sat there for a while and then Harry looked at his watch. "We better head back to the castle so we can get some lunch." They got up and walked back to the castle. They went into the Great Hall and sat down on the other side of the table. They were facing Ron and he asked "Where have you guys been?"
"We went for a walk around outside and talk about what we thought the next task is."
"Oh well cool. What do you think the next task is going to be?"
"We have no idea what it could be."
They keep talking and when they were finished eating they went back to the common room. While in the common room Harry got to thinking about how to keep an eye on Victor. That is when he came up with the idea of Dobby watching him. Harry got up but Hermione saw him and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going down to the kitchen to see Dobby. Want to come?"
"Yeah. Ron you want to come along?"
"No you two go ahead I'm going to stay here and hangout." Ron told them and smiled as the two of them walked out of the common room.
Harry and Hermione walked downstairs and to the kitchen. They got to the portrait and Harry tickled the pear. The door opened and they walked in Dobby saw them. Dobby ran over to Harry and Hermione. "Harry what can I do for you sir?"
"Can we talk alone for a minute?"
"Of course sir." Dobby and Harry walked off to the side.
"What can I do for you?"
"I need you to keep an eye on Victor Krum for me. I need you to tell me if he gets anywhere near Hermione or if he does something that you think he shouldn't do."
"Sure thing sir. I will let you know every thing that goes on around Miss Hermione." Harry and Dobby talked a little more. Then Harry and Hermione left.
