Okay, so this chapter is pretty bad if I do say so myself. But I had fun writing it.

Chap 4

Me and Viktor have been fake going out for a full three minutes now, and it's already caused quite a commotion. Everywhere I turned I could hear it being called the 'biggest scandal in years,' even by the teachers!

Only five people knew about the relationship being fake, Me, Viktor, Adon, Theo, and Cedric Diggory who we found listening into our conversation about it. But he promised (With the persuasion of Adon's fist) that he wouldn't tell anyone.

In all honestly, I had no idea how everyone found out so quickly, but we were apparently the new 'it' couple.

People pointed and whispered, boys and girls alike glared at me and Viktor and some even looked longingly.

I was a bit nervous about tonight, considering they were going to pick the champions. I just hoped Adon wasn't one of them.

Viktor had one arm around my shoulders in fake affection, and I relished in the warmth of it, savoring it a little more then I should. Every time Viktor looked across the table at Adon, Adon gave him a thumbs up, and every time I looked across the table at Theo, he gave me a 'do you know what you're getting yourself into?' look that I just couldn't ignore.

Did I know what I was getting myself into? Not particularly. I was just kind of…winging it. I mean, I knew it was a fake relationship and all, but I couldn't help but wonder what it would be like if it were a real one. Something, I decided, I should not be thinking about.

"What's worrying you?" Theo asked, reaching across the breakfast table and grabbing my hand, causing the people around us to go into a flurry of gossip again, this time about how I might be cheating on Viktor with Theo.

"Nothing….Do you think Adon will win? Do you think he'll have to do all those dangerous tasks?" I asked a little nervously, leaning away from Adon so he wouldn't hear.

"I think if he does get chosen, he'll win. He's strong Lyra, you have nothing to worry about." Theo patted my hand and turned back to his food. Was that supposed to help? It just made me feel worse. Adon was strong, and that sometimes went to his head. What if he dies because he's thinking with his muscles too much?

I suddenly felt a little sick. I didn't even know if he was a winner yet, and I was still thinking of the worse possible thing that could happen.

"I think I'm just going to go back to bed." I told them softly as I stood up from the table, knocking Viktor's arm off of me.

"I vill come viff you." Viktor said, standing up and following me out of the hall before I could protest. When we were almost at the door he grabbed hold of my hand gently, and I let him hold it, taking notice that his hand was about ten times bigger then mine.

"You didn't have to come. You didn't even get to eat yet." I said quietly as we walked out the doors, as soon as we were in the empty hall I pulled my hand away from his. I didn't need the extra temptation.

"Vell I couldn't just leave yo to come by yourself." Viktor said with a smile as we headed closer to the RavenClaw common room.

"I'm sorry about the whole relationship thing." I said after a while, realizing what an inconvenience this was for him.

"I don't mind." Viktor said kind of…smugly?

"Well, I'm just going to go back to sleep. I don't feel too good. I'll see you at dinner when they pick the champions." I said before whispering the password and stepping into the common room. I walked over to the couch, the common room was empty so I figured it was as good a place as any to fall asleep.

I plopped myself down, pulling the cover that hung above the couch over me.

"You're going to sleep here?" Viktor voice made me jump up with surprise. I jumped so high that I actually fell off of the couch and onto the floor clutching my heart that was beating ten miles a minute.

"Viktor! What the hell are you doing!" I screamed at him, maybe a little to harshly as I got back up and resumed my position on the couch. Besides, he probably thinks I still hate him.

"I couldn't let my girlfriend be alone vhile she is sick!" He said, sounding offended that I even asked.

"I'm not really your girlfriend." I reminded him, turning over towards the fire and closing my eyes.

"Yes. But how vould it look if I was walking around the castle and my girlfriend was in her bed dying from her sickness." I couldn't help but laugh lightly at him.

"I'm not that sick." I sighed and tried to concentrate on sleeping.

"I'll stay vith you anyway." He said sternly, causing me to mentally roll my eyes.

"What ever." I said quietly as I tried my hardest to just fall asleep.

"Do you need anything?" Viktor's voice interrupted my attempts of sleep.

"No." I said simply, trying again to go to sleep. Viktor was quiet after that and I could slowly feel myself falling asleep.

"Are you sure you don't need anything?" Viktor asked when I was at the brink of unconsciousness.

"Hey Viktor?" I whispered.

"Yes?" He answered immediately.

"Shut up." I said before I was finally able to fall asleep.

VIKTOR POV

She slept for hours. Not that I minded. I sat the whole time, in one of the common rooms blue velvet arm chairs, watching her sleep. The fire cast shadows on her face, making her long, dark eye lashes look even longer, and her soft pink lips look even softer.

She was beautiful. I wonder if she knew it?

I've got to say, I was a tad embarrassed when Adon suggested the whole 'why don't you too go out so that Malfoy doesn't get any bright ideas' plan. The main reason I was so embarrassed about the whole ideal was because Adon only suggested it because he knew I was in love with her. And in his words, 'this will make her realize how much she actually likes you' when in reality, it will probably make her realize how dysfunctional a realization between the two of us would be.

She started to toss and turn slightly and I looked expectantly. She didn't wake up though. I swear, this girl could sleep for ever.

"Lyra? They're starting to pick the champions now!" Theodor Nott screamed as he walked into the RavenClaw common room. Lyra must have told him the password.

"Theo?" Lyra asked groggily sitting up and reaching out for him. He went over to her and stood her up.

"Come on babe, you're gonna miss it!" Theodor urged, that woke her up.

"Miss what? Where's Viktor?" She asked hesitantly.

"He's right there. Now come on, they're picking the champions any minute." Theodor said dragging her towards the door. She looked back at me, her eyes growing wide as if she was just realizing my presence, she quickly blushed and looked away.

"Well come on Krum!" Theodor Nott said exasperatedly as he walked out of the common room, one arm around Lyra's waist practically hauling her towards the grand hall.

I sat around on a bunch of benches with the rest of the Drumstrang boys, leaving Lyra to sit with Theodor Nott and some of his friends. I could tell Lyra was still a bit sleepy and wanted so badly to go over and offer her my shoulder to sleep on.

"How's it going with Lyra?" Adon asked, taking the empty seat next to me.

"She's fine." I replied lamely.

"I think she's starting to like you." Adon told me, nudging his elbow into my ribs.

"Really?" I asked, getting excited with where this conversation was headed.

"Yeah." Adon said, shrugging his shoulders and looking over at his sister. "Just so you know, if you hurt her, I'll kill you." Adon said as if it wasn't a big deal. If you think about it, it wasn't, he knew I would never hurt Lyra.

"Attention students! The goblet is just about ready to give the names of this years champions!" The headmaster announced. I looked over at Lyra who was looking at her brother with sad eyes. "Viktor Krum!" I was only slightly aware of the Headmaster calling out my name as I looked eyes with a first relieved, then fearful looking Lyra. I stood, walking towards the room where the champions were to go, neither me or Lyra breaking the gaze.

Is she scared for me? Or is she scared I wont be able to protect her from Malfoy? Did she really like that guy? He was just so rude to everyone. Then again, girls did follow him around like lost puppies…

LYRA POV

When I heard the headmaster call out Viktor's name, I was incredibly happy that it wasn't my brother. Then again, a moment later, worry overtook me. What if Viktor got hurt? What if he died!

"You okay?" Theo asked as the rest of the champions were called, I wasn't really paying attention though. I was aware of Cedric's name being called, yet I didn't clap for him.

"I'm fine." I croaked out to Theo as we stood to leave the room. Just then the goblet flared up again. Didn't we have our champions?

"Harry Potter!" The headmaster called over and over until the boy came up and stumbled into the champion room.

"Dear lord." I whispered. He was so young! He was my age! He was just a kid! (I made Harry a little older here I realized.)

"Boo!" chorused throughout the hall. Did these people really think that Potter was smart enough to get his name in the cup and then actually win? Who would want to be a champion anyway! This whole thing was just plain crazy! "Let's go wait outside." I said quietly and me and Theo went to wait outside the great hall for the Champions to come out. Adon joined us a minute later and we all stood around until the four champions came out. Viktor went to my excited brother immediately and started to hug him. I rolled my eyes and turned around to see a petrified Harry Potter coming out.

Now I didn't know Harry that well, but we did speak on occasions, which is probably why he was a little stunned when I ran up and hugged him. He looked like he needed a hug. Everyone was glaring at him and he looked so uncomfortable.

"Are you alright Harry?" I whispered as I pulled away from him. He glanced nervously over at Adon and Viktor who were both glaring at us.

"I-I'm fine." He stuttered out.

"I'm just scared for you is all." I said, he nodded in understanding.

"I'm pretty scared myself." He admitted with a blush. I sighed and hugged him again.

"Good luck Harry." I said before going back to stand by Theo who was talking to Adon and Viktor. When I reached their group they immediately stopped talking and looked at me.

"Are you scared?" I asked Viktor bluntly. He looked a little taken back.

"Um, no." He said strongly. I looked deep into his eyes, trying to figure out if he was lying or not but I couldn't tell.

"You should be." I said a little too meanly, Adon frowned. "Just don't come crying to me when you die." I said, even though it made absolutely no sense. How could he come running to me if he was dead? But I think he got my point. I wanted him to be scared. I needed to know that I wasn't the only one who was afraid for him.
