Re: The Library: A Study Table

Viktor grins at the compliment, glowing slightly because Hermione's compliments always seem to have more of an effect on him compared to other people. "Vell, thank you, bu-- Vot?" Viktor blinks. Was this Wonky Faint some other Quidditch move they did here? And what in the world was a Straight Faint? Surely she wasn't...She was. No, it can't be. "Wonky. Faint?"

Mya Lupin October 22nd 2010, 3:59 am

"Yes," Hermione says, a slight frown line of confusion appearing between her eyes. "That's what you called it - a Wonky Faint. It's some sort of Quidditch play or something, right? Although I don't understand how fainting in mid-air is a good thing."

Viktor Krum - Inactive October 22nd 2010, 4:10 am

"Wronski Feint," he says, barely able to think straight at the moment because he can't believe that someone doesn't know one of the most famous Quidditch moves of all time. "It's called the Wronski Feint."

Mya Lupin October 22nd 2010, 4:20 am

"Yes, we've established that," Hermione says slowly. "It's a Wonky Faint. You're very good at it. Can we talk about something else now?"

Viktor Krum - Inactive October 22nd 2010, 4:25 am

Viktor sighs and decides to save this for another time because he has a feeling this should take a while. "Right. I don't even remember how ve got on this topic- Oh right. You vere suggesting I practice catching balls in my mouth, that's right."

Mya Lupin October 22nd 2010, 4:31 am

"I thought it was a snitch?" Hermione asks. "Merlin, this Quidditch business is so confusing! I did read Quidditch Through The Ages once, but really, all these silly rules and precedents... I don't really have much of an aptitude for sports," she admits sheepishly.

Viktor Krum - Inactive October 22nd 2010, 4:34 am

"Oh. It is called a snitch," he says proudly, glad that she remembered. "I just...I vosn't sure if you knew, so I figured I vould just stick to non-Quidditch terms. It's fine. That's vy you have me around, to help you out vith this Quidditch stuff. And you...You help me vith everything else," he teased, already forgetting about this Wonky Faint business.

Mya Lupin October 22nd 2010, 4:42 am

Hermione smiles, because she finds it somehow very sweet that Viktor is so proud of her for remembering that little detail. "You do alright with everything else, as you perfectly know," she says, indicating his forgotten book. "How is the study schedule working out for you? Do you need any more adjustments?" she says, because if Viktor asked her to, she would... consider it. Maybe. If he submitted a foot long essay detailing the changes he wants, and his reasoning.

Viktor Krum - Inactive October 22nd 2010, 4:54 am

"Hmm." He taps his finger on his book, wondering how much he could get away with here. More Quidditch time would be nice. Or not. Hermione did a pretty fantastic job on it already, though he'll keep the offer in mind for later. "No. It's pretty perfect, actually," he says with a grin, glad that he has Hermione to keep him so organized because he really does appreciate it.

Mya Lupin October 22nd 2010, 4:58 am

Hermione smiles. "Thanks, I thought it would be alright," she says. "So what else have you been doing? Do you still spend a lot of time with your friend Molly?" she asks, ignoring that little jolt in her tummy because the idea of her being jealous is just preposterous.

Viktor Krum - Inactive October 22nd 2010, 5:11 am

"Mhm," he says nodding, his eyes suddenly widening as he stares at Hermione. "Oh. You really did miss a lot this past veek, now that I think of it. Molly and I had to talk care of a stalker," he says very seriously. "Justina." His eyes dart around as Justina is there with them, though he knows that even she isn't that stupid. Hopefully she went to find someone else to stalk. Didn't he suggest someone else? He doesn't' remember. Oh well, not important. "She's been stalking me this past veek and it started to get out of hand, so Molly and I took care of her. Don't think I'll be seeing anymore of Justina if she knows vot's good for her," he says, smirking as he recalls the girl's face when Molly threatened her with that heel.

Mya Lupin October 22nd 2010, 8:21 am

Hermione's eyes widen. "A stalker? Worse than the usual fangirls I take it? Merlin, Viktor, why didn't you just go to a professor?" she wonders. "It sounds absolutely terrible, I'm glad nobody will ever stalk me. What if somebody got hurt?" She shudders.

Viktor Krum - Inactive October 22nd 2010, 8:29 am

Viktor blinks, thinking of the beginning of the year when Cedric had made a comment about how Viktor had stalked Hermione in the library all those years ago. Yeah, not bringing that up in conversation anytime soon. "Nothing that I couldn't handle. Molly and I took care of Justina, so I doubt I'll be seeing her again anytime soon," he says, looking quite accomplished.

Mya Lupin October 22nd 2010, 8:34 am

Hermione thinks "stalker" is just such a strong word in Viktor's case. She prefers the term "enthusiastic spectator". She's glad that Viktor is alright now and that the problem is taken care of, but she can't help wishing that she had been there to help him out. "What did you do?" she asks, curious.

Viktor Krum - Inactive October 22nd 2010, 8:39 am

Viktor's just going to leave out the bit about the picture of him with that makeup on for now, because that's irrelevant. "Vell, I agreed to meet her in Hogsmeade for a 'date.' And that lasted a good three minutes before she..." He hesitates for a second. Hermione does not need to know that Viktor Krum lost his cool because a creepy stalker rubber her foot up against him. "Vell, before it vot just too much. She's a creepy girl. Anvay, then Molly came and tackled her to the ground and threated to beat her vith a heel if she didn't give the picture of me back." Oops. He meant to leave the picture bit out of the story.

Mya Lupin October 22nd 2010, 8:49 am

"Honestly, Viktor, you should've known better than to agree to seeing this girl. What if she'd done something? She could've cursed you, or she could've been working with other people and they could've done anything to you!" The little frown line reappears between Hermione's eyes. "What picture?" she asks.

Viktor Krum - Inactive October 22nd 2010, 8:56 am

"Vell...She's a tiny little thing, an I'm...Vell, I'm me. And Molly vos there, along vith a bunch of other innocent bystanders," he shrugs, smiling at his friends' concern. "Don't vorry. I'm fine now, aren't I? But it is nice to see you're so concerned about my safety," he adds with a slight smirk, giving Hermione's hand a light squeeze before pulling away. He frowns slightly as she asks about the picture, being reminded that he hadn't destroyed it yet. "Oh." He sighs and wordlessly takes it out of his pocket and hands it over to her, not speaking as he waits for her reaction.

Mya Lupin October 22nd 2010, 9:02 am

Hermione stares at the picture blank-faced for several seconds, which stretches into a couple of minutes. Finally, she places the picture face-down on the desk and slides it back in front of Viktor. "Well, that eyeshadow really brings out the colour in your eyes."

Viktor Krum - Inactive October 22nd 2010, 9:06 am

Viktor jaw drops and picks up his own book. Of course he doesn't hit Hermione. He is too much of a gentleman to hit a girl, and he'd never even dream of hitting Hermione. Or Molly, for that matter. Instead, he facebooks. Woah. Facebooks. I just realized that as I typed it..."I don't know vy I didn't destroy this as soon as I got a hold of it," he grumbles before setting the book down, using his hands to instead pick up the photograph as he beings to tear it up into teeny tiny pieces. He'd Incendio the sucker, but this is a library. No fires allowed. "You. Saw. Nothing."

Mya Lupin October 22nd 2010, 9:16 am

Hermione giggles. Though there's a moment of mild concern as Viktor facebooks. "Careful, you'll give yourself a headache," she says, then watches curiously as Viktor begins to rip the picture to shreds. "Alright, alright, I saw nothing. Erm... do I want to know how this picture even came to be in existence? Merlin, if I knew you were getting up to this sort of thing in your free time, I'd have given you less of it!"

Viktor Krum - Inactive October 22nd 2010, 9:21 am

Viktor looks at Hermione in shock, not sure if he should...Well, he has no idea how to react to that, so he just bursts out laughing. "I...No! This is not how I spend my free time. I vos just..." He takes a deep breath, putting off explaining this because there's really no way to make this sound cool or manly. "I vos vith some new friends and they vanted to play Truth or Dare. Ven it's all girls and von very masculine Viktor Krum...This is vot happens," he sighs, gesturing to the shredded up pieces of paper. "And I thought that 14 year old girl vos sweet and innocent. Not so much."

Mya Lupin October 22nd 2010, 9:33 am

"Truth or dare?" Hermione repeats, still secretly thinking that Viktor has too much free time on his hands. "Well, suppose that serves you right, then," she shrugs. She takes out her wand and starts vanishing the photo-confetti. "Merlin, stalkers, truth or dare, boys in bathrooms, you do get into some mischief, don't you? You must hardly miss Durmstrang at all!"

Viktor Krum - Inactive October 22nd 2010, 9:40 am

"I've never played before! I thought it vos supposed to be fun. Apparently not," he sighs, smiling as the remains of the picture go bye-bye. "Hm. You know, I don't miss it now that you mention it. I did come here for a reason after all. Though, boys in bathrooms, stalkers, and truth or dare vere definitely not part of that reason. Just added bonuses, I guess," he says, laughing lightly as he thinks back on his adventures at Hogwarts so far. "Is it alvays this exciting here? I mean, besides you getting past a three-headed dog to save the Philosopher's Stone, getting petrified, rescuing a man that people thought was a crazed murderer, helping your friend survive through three tasks in a tournament that he didn't enter, breaking into the Department of Ministries to rescue Harry's godfather, and ignoring Harry as he goes on and on and on about his obsession with Malfoy, what else do you do around here?"

Mya Lupin October 22nd 2010, 9:50 am

Hermione shrugs, eyes twinkling. "Oh, I don't know about that. This year has been relatively quiet for me, all things considered. Compared to previous years, it's been positively boring! Of course, I haven't exactly minded that - usually Harry's gotten himself into some sort of trouble by now and I'm busy worrying about it. I don't think either he nor Ron have even asked me to do their homework yet," she shrugs. How odd.

Viktor Krum - Inactive October 22nd 2010, 9:57 am

Viktor shakes his head at the thought of Ron and Harry asking Hermione to do her homework. Sure, it doesn't get much smarter than her, but Harry was a Tri-Wizard Champion. If he can handle dragons and mermaids, then he can handle a little essay now and then. "They really do that? I'd never ask you to do my homevork," he smiles, ignoring that weird feeling he gets every time she mentions Ron or Harry, though he was at least happy that she mentioned them a lot less than she did during the Tri-Wizard Tournament. "You're worth a lot more than that," he adds softly, looking down at his book as he thinks about what a great friend Hermione has been to him.
