Yet Another Viktor Krum FanFiction

Chapter XXII

As they arrived at the ship, Amelia couldn't shake off the unease that had been building inside her since their encounter with Moody, Snape and Karkaroff. She turned to Viktor, her brow furrowed in confusion.

"What do you suppose it means,-a sign?" she asked, her tone laced with concern.

Viktor's gaze remained fixed on the fire, his mind lost in thought. "I don't know, Hedström," he said, his voice heavy with uncertainty. "But whatever it was, it's not related to the Triwizard."

As he spoke, his mind replayed the conversation between Snape and Karkaroff, the words "roll back your sleeve" echoing in his head. There was something important hidden underneath it, he was sure of it. But what?

Meanwhile, Amelia couldn't shake off the feeling of unease she had felt around Moody. She remembered the way he had stared at her rune staves, and the warning in his voice about being a Galdr warder. What did he know about her abilities, and why did it make him so cautious?

The mystery of their encounters with Moody and Snape left them both feeling uneasy as they settled in the common room, unsure of what was to come.

As Viktor stood by the fire, his mind deep in thought, he felt Amelia's presence next to him. He turned to look at her, and his thoughts were momentarily derailed by her beauty. He couldn't help but feel grateful for her companionship on this mysterious and potentially dangerous night.

In an attempt to lighten the mood, Viktor flashed a charming smile and said, "You still looked stunning even while in stealth mode."

A smile slowly spread across Amelia's face, her cheeks flushing slightly at Viktor's compliment. She was grateful for his presence and the safety he provided, but also enjoyed the lighthearted banter between them.

As the clock struck one, Viktor pulled Amelia close, enveloping her in a warm embrace that made her feel safe and loved. She breathed in the scent of his cologne, feeling his heartbeat against her chest as he whispered in her ear, "Happy Yuletide, Zvezdno svetlina."

Amelia's heart swelled with happiness, and she looked up at him with a smile that lit up her face. "Happy Yuletide, Krum," she replied softly, her eyes shining with affection.

For a moment, they stood there in silence, lost in their own world of tenderness and intimacy. Then Viktor gently pulled back, placing a hand on Amelia's cheek as he looked into her eyes. "Get some rest," he said, his voice low and soothing, "we have a big day ahead."

With a sweet, lingering kiss, he bid her goodnight and watched as she disappeared into her cabin. Viktor remained outside for a few moments longer, savoring the quiet peace of the winter night and the joy of being with the one he loved.

The sound of pounding on the door jolted Amelia awake, causing her to bolt upright in bed. Her heart raced as she tried to shake off the sleep that still clung to her mind. "Who could that be?" she wondered, pulling the covers tightly around her.

"Yo, pipsqueak! Get your lazy butt up! Rise and shine!" came a boisterous voice from the other side of the door.

Amelia recognized the voice immediately, and a wave of relief washed over her. She jumped out of bed and rushed to the door, her heart racing with excitement. When she opened it, she was overjoyed to see Asen, Damien, and Astrid standing there, their faces beaming with happiness.
