Separated Soulmates (Victor x Hermione)

2

Today was the day the candidates from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons were arriving. Of course i had done my research on these schools but i didn't really know what to expect as both schools are really secretive. I didn't even know how they were going to arrive but followed the crowd down to the field were hundreds of excited kids were already waiting. What they were waiting for, i had no idea, Dumblebore had left out how the schools would be arriving.

 First came the Beauxbaton students in a large flying carriage, accompanied by their headmistress who reminded me very much of Hagrid. Then came the Durmstrang students, making quite an entrance by emerging from the middle of the lake. The Durmstrang students were dressed in furs as they were located somewhere in western Russia. I was still admiring their costumes when Ron starting quaking with excitement. "No way" he said pointing to the student walking alongside the Durmstrang headmaster "It's Victor Krum". Harry seemed to mirror Ron's excitement and they pushed through the crowd, trying to get closer. Most of the students had noticed the Bulgarian seeker at this point and everyone started pushing to get an autograph. 

"I don't see what all the fuss is about" i pointed out as we walked to the great hall. "Hermione, he's the best seeker in the world" Ron pointed out incredulously "Yeah and he's really young too" said Harry. "I reckon we should try to get an autograph before he leaves. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity" Ron continued as we sat down at the Griffindor table. The Beauxbatons at the Ravenclaw table were attracting quite a bit of male attention. "That one is definetly part Veela" said Ron staring at a beautiful girl with really long hair "they don't make them like that at Hogwarts". Okay Ronald well you aren't exactly a gorgeous specimen either i thought but of course i kept my mouth shut. The Durmstrang students entered the Great Hall and Ron shoved me out of the way to create an empty space for Krum to sit but the Durmstrang settled down at the Slytherin table, much to the dissapointment of Harry and Ron. 

The Goblet of Fire was ignited and placed in the Entrance Hall. I was reading in the Entrance hall when Fred and George attempted to fool the age line with an aging potion. Of course Dumbledore had expected something like this happening and soon the Weasley's had sprouted identical long white beards. I chuckled a little as the twins left to get their beards removed and went back to my book. I had barely read one sentence when the Entrance Hall erupted in whispers. I looked around confused and set my eyes on the source of the commotion; the Durmstrang lot had come to submit their names, lead by Karkaroff. One by one they submitted their names into the goblet and retourned to the group, until finally only one remained remained, Victor Krum. He walked briskly up the the Goblet of Fire and dropped his name in, but as he turned to leave, he made eye contact with me for what seemed like a long time before walking away with his commarades. Nobody else seemed to have noticed and continued their conversation but i was confused so i got up and went back to the Griffindor Common Room.
