Thank-you to all of you for reading this spin-off fic! After some thought, I hope I've come up with an acceptable second chapter! And I have used the odd English (formal language mixed with incorrect usage of pronouns) in Viktor's letters on purpose, as they are common mistakes I make when I write Italian (English is my first language) and I was hoping it feels realistic as a letter written by a real person learning English.
mimi-kopi: Thank-you so much for reading and reviewing! That was exactly my inspiration when I thought of this ship. We never had closure on Viktor, they have the same aspirations, and I mean, why not? The more I think about this ship, the more determined I am to fight to the end for it! :)
Dearest Ginevra,
Bulgaria is appearing so much smaller since I have met you. I miss the your laugh, the your smile, and the light in your eyes after the Quidditch match. I miss the wit you use against me in even our dreariest of conversation.
I never thought to say this to a persons of such a younger age and foreign country, and yet I find myself thinking of you in the most unusual of time. My mother has always been of the worry when I am away, but now that I have told her of you, she is happy to think there is someone else out there who understands me for the person, not the Quidditch play.
I am most anxious of your reply, and hope you do not find yourself in so much danger from that evil wizard who kidnapped Harry and murdered Cedric. It is not good, when someone so of the right is taken away.
Your foreign correspondent,
Viktor Dmitri Krum

Viktor,
I know you feel it's not right, but no-one has called me Ginevra in years. I remember it was when mum caught me spelling Percy's homework to say all these rude words which I thought were the funniest ... anyway, please call me Ginny. Your English has definitely improved a lot since you have been writing to me and 'Mione. Things aren't so bad here, but loads of the Ministry and people at school don't believe Harry. It was never a question for me; Harry is the most honest person I know (you know 'Mione will refuse to admit the truth if it doesn't match her beliefs – she can be just like Percy!). When he appeared with Cedric, you could clearly see the horror in his eyes.
My brothers still think I'm too young to play with them, but I have always enjoyed 'borrowing' their brooms and practising on my own anyway. Just wait, in the next few years a spot will open up as Chaser on the Gryffindor team, and I'll be able to finally prove myself!
Ron has always admired you for your Quidditch skill, so that was all I expected when I met you. At first I was always waiting for your behaviour to change, thinking that your charming act was just a mask for the real arrogant Quidditch hero – I think I first realised that you were honestly just that nice when you stood up for Harry before you left. That was when I first began to trust you.
From Ginny
A/N: I absolutely loved writing in this letter form! Please let me know what you thought, what I should change, and what you want me to include in the next one!
