Ron sat in the Great Hall of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, waiting impatiently for his "love" to appear. He had no idea how or when he would come, but he was sure Viktor wouldn't disappoint him. But he still had his doubts. It could've easily been a prank or something. Was it just a trick that Harry & Hermione had played on him over the summer? No, they wouldn't do that, they're his best friends, he thought. But what about Fred & George? Oh no wait, they didn't know anything about Ron's lust love for Krum, so he sighed in relief.
Another 10 minutes or so passed, and the Sorting Hat had finally finished it's job. Still waiting for his love to arrive, if he were to, Ron fidgeted nervously on his stool. The Headmaster rose from his seat at the large table, and walked to face his students. As with every year, he wished them a good one, gave out the usual rules, and informed them of any special occasions. 'Triwizard Tournament, Triwizard Tournament, Triwizard Tournament...' the words that raced over and over again through Ron's mind.
Dumbledore went to sit down, but before he did so, he halted in his tracks, remembering something. "Oh and before I forget, this year, Hogwarts will be host to the Triwizard Tournament. We will have plenty of guests, the lovely girls from Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. And those strapping young lads from Durmstrang Intitute of Magical Learning." There were whispers all around Ron: "Krum..." "Viktor Krum goes there!" "Oh my God, Krum's coming...!"
Ron couldn't believe his ears. Viktor Krum was coming to his school, he was really coming! Ron's stomach somersaulted, and butterflies erupted from their cocoons inside him.
The doors to the Great Hall flung open, and in rolled two gymnasts. Two young women with long blonde hair jumped and glided along the walkways between the four massive tables of the Great Hall, followed by a parade of young women, all in the same light blue velvet uniform with golden trimmings. Taking big strides behind them, and standing at least 7.5 feet tall, Madame Maxime, the Head of Beauxbatons was an incredible sight indeed. But where were the Durmstrang students?
Suddenly, there was a loud sound of clunking wood on stone. And that sound continued, getting closer and closer to the Great Hall. The Durmstrang students had arrived. Ron craned his neck to seek his love, but Harry had to hold him down in case he jumped from his seat, ran over and jumped on him.
There. He found Viktor. But had Viktor noticed him? He tried to get up, but failed, because Harry had his hand firmly pressing his leg into the bench underneath him.
Once Dumbledore had given out greetings, Igor Karkaroff (Head of Durmstrang), and Madame Maxime both sat at the highest table, with all of the Professors. The Durmstrang students sat at the Slytherin table, and the Beauxbatons students with the Ravenclaws.
The one thing Ron couldn't get over that night was the fact that Viktor hadn't even seen him back in the Great Hall. He rolled over on his comfortable mattress, which was unlike the one at home. But one thing was for sure, he was happy to be back at Hogwarts, with all of his friends. He rolled over once more to get into his comfort zone, and drifted off to sleep.
I'm sorry that was such a short chapter guys. And I'm REALLY sorry it's been so long since I've updated, but I've been having a lot of life troubles recently and a lot of work to catch up on. So big sorry to anyone I've disappointed.
