~ooO Support : Viktor Krum Ooo~
Viktor Krum watched from the shadows, half-hidden by a tapestry. He knew, if he approached the couple, Hermione would greet him warmly and introduce him to her husband. A small part of Viktor hurt, because he had hoped to win the British witch for himself. He knew Hermione Granger was meant for Greater Things the moment he met her. Once he had hoped that such Great Things would happen with him by her side. But it did not happen. The war broke out and Hermione had been determined to help her best friend. Afterwards she had been caught up in the rebuilding efforts.
For a while Viktor had worried that she would marry that boy-wizard Ron Weasley but it did not happen. He had been very pleased when he read the newspaper article that they had broken up. After he had stepped up his correspondence with Hermione but she had never returned his interest. But she had never indicated an interest in any other wizard and it made Viktor feel better about not winning her attentions.
At least she did not settle with a lesser wizard, one unworthy of her, because she deserved the best. And she got it. The wizard she married was her Fates-match; powerful, skilled, infamous, and a Dark Arts Master. Viktor knew true Mastery in the Dark Arts came only when you were no longer influenced to excesses. Salazar Slytherin demonstrated true Mastery in the way he moved and acted. Viktor could almost see the dense power coiling around the wizard, lethal and ready to strike, but caressing against the witch standing beside him.
Yes, Salazar Slytherin was one worthy of being matched to Hermione Granger.
