A Tale of Krum

VI. Again

~

The guys had continued to eat.

I tried walking out when everyone was busy talking to each other to be unnoticed.

Fortunately it had worked out.

I walked to the left of the door, hiding.

Trying to remember which way it was to the dorms.

"Oberlin!"

I turn pass my shoulder, My eyes widen. Seeing its Mattheo, I place my hand over his mouth. Checking our surroundings to see if anyone had heard him.

With my hand still covering his mouth, He looks at me with a brow raised. I drag him around the corner where no one seems to be.

"Watch your mouth Mattheo."

"Why? Afraid someone's going to see you and I together? Did someone finally realize they shouldn't be associating with me?"

He rolls his eyes.

"What?" I said with furrowed eyebrows. "What are you talking about? I just don't want people hearing my name. What's going on inside your head?" I explain

"Oh.. Well what goes inside my head is none of your business."

I give him a blunt stare.

"What do you want? You called for me." I remind him.

"I was going to ask the question everyone probably has on their minds right now."

"Which is?"

"Why were you at the Durmstrang table?"

"I'm half Bulgarian. I know most of them."

There's no lie there.

"I assumed you to be Italian."

"My other half is French." I inform.

He nods.

"Rune."

Mattheo turns around as I lean to my right to see pass his head.

"Why was Viktor Krum making eyes at you?"

Daphne steps to my shoulder catching her breath.

"It wasn't just Krum, It was more like the whole school really."

"Probably has to do with me being part veela?"

I suggest.

It was an easier explanation to say than the exact reason. I wasn't planning to tell them a descriptive story of what kind of magic my mother had done to me.

"Your part veela??" Daphne and Mattheo say in shock.

"Quarter. I think." I try to remember a rational number.

"That explains your beauty. " Luna adds.

"Thank you?" I say.

"You're welcome."

"Miss Oberlin?"

All four of us turn our heads to the voice.

"What are you three doing here? Shouldn't you be in your common rooms by now."

"We just needed a few words with Rune, Professor." Mattheo explains.

"Well now I need a word with Miss Oberlin. In private."

"Yes Professor Mcgonagall."

They all left within seconds.

"Rune I hope you are enjoying your stay at Hogwarts so far."
