Slow and Steady wins the race : Viktor Krum : four

Aubrey's POV
A couplemonths later-
The first taskhad come, and they had to defeat the dragons. Viktor did it suprisingly well, but i was already overwhelmed with anxiety. Everyone was yelling at harry when CLEARLY he didn't put his name in the goblet. How could he get past the age line? Come on y'all, SERIOUSLYY?
I told harrythat I believed him, and some people have calmed down about it, like Cedric, Oliver, Fred, George,....

I woke up and changed into a pair of shorts and a big whitetee shirt, even though it wasfreezing outside.
After running for a few minutes, viktor caught up with me.
"Hey, aren't you cold??" he asked.
"yes but it is better because then it gets my muscles working." i replied. he nodded in response.
"so,are you excited to go to hogsmeade today?"I asked him.
Today was Friday, and we were allowed to go to Hogsmeade. Iloved going to hogsmeade, especially since it's almost Halloweenand I have to get a costume
"Yes, are you going?" Viktor asked.
"Yeah, I love hogsmeade." I replied.
Viktor's POV
this was my moment. It was now or never...vell not never..
"Vould you like to go to hogsmead with me??" I asked stopping briefly. Aubrey stopped asvell, and looked up at me into my eyes.
Her eyes were a gorgeous light blue, withlight tints oflively green.
"I would love to" She replied smiling andthen we continued running.
When wefinished, we stopped at the hogwarts entryway.
"Ivill meetyou in the Great Hall." i said as we went our ways.
Aubrey's POV
I was, surprisingly, really excited. I didn't really know what to do, so I went up to the dorms, took a showerand looked through my wardrobe trying to find something to wear.
"what are you looking for??" Angelina asked as her, Alicia, and Hermionewoke up.
"Somethingto wear" I said, trying not to hide thegrin on my face.Luckily, they bought it, andgot ready.
I decided to change into this:

I putsome natural makeup on, and put on some extra mascara that I normally wouldn't wear. I fixed my hair so it looked pretty good.
Finally, I walked down to breakfast withhermione sinceangelinaand alicia were taking too long.
We walked down togethe, and she told meabout her being the communicator between Ron and harry.
"That's a whole lot of rubbish. I'm going to bloody smack that boy. Why in the world would you believe something that idiotic?" I asked hypothetically.

Viktor's POV
I was actually really nervous. I was more nervous about this more than the first task when i had to fight a bloody dragon.
"vhy are you so nervous?" my best friend asked. I looked over to him and sighed.
"it's because of a girl" I said simply.He nodded and understood.
"Finally, man, i thought youvere never going tofind someone." he replied patting me on theback asve left to Hogswarts.
I sat down at the table with Malfoy and his friends.
"Ugh, are you kidding me?" Malfoy exclaimed when he got a letter. Quickly he got a littlefirst year to get his sister.
Aubrey came over andlooked at me quickly, and then back to her brother.
"What is it this time??' she asked.
"Just telling us, once again, what our holiday plans are" Malfoy said as he handed over the letter.
"Oh what fun" Aubrey replied after she read the letter.
After a few minutes-
i left the Great hall and winked to Aubrey to follow.
Luckily, after a few moments, she came, and ve left to go to Hogsmeadevith everyone else.
Ve got into a carriage, and headed off.
"Have you ever been to hogsmeade before??" she asked me.
"No,vat is it like?" I asked.
"It'sa small magical town and there are tons of nice stores, especially a quidditch store which we will go, and a whole bunch of nice places." She tried to explain.
"Ahh," I nodded, and took her hand into mine and laced my fingers with hers.
Finally, the carriage got there, and I stepped out first, and then helped Aubrey out of the carriage.
Ve didn't hold hands because ve didn't knowvhovould be there or see us.
FirstAubrey led me to the quidditch shop.
"This is the amazing quidditch place. It has almost everything." Aubrey said as we both looked around, and vhen therevas no vone in the aisles, ve secretly held hands.

After that, ve vent to the Three Broomsticks vhere ve both sat down at a far booth in the back corner.
Itvas differentvithAubrey than anyvone else. Aubrey knew exactlyvhat to say, and she could alvays brighten my dayvith a smile.
"Have you had any luck with the egg?" Aubrey asked as I held her hand in mine under the table cloth.
"My headmaster is not really letting me say anything..." I tried to explain to her.
"Oh, that's fine. If you got it, that's great, good luck. and if you don't, good luck. i know you'll get it." she said sweetly.

"Vhat is your favorite type of candy?" i asked her asve vent to the candy store.
"um.. probably BertieBott's Every Flavor Beans. i like having a surprise, and then mostly finding out it's a good flavor" sheexplained. I made a mental note of this.

After a vhile, ve bothvent back to hogvarts and went onto the quidditch field.
"would you like to play some quidditch?" she asked.
"of course" I replied and ve vent to go play.
Ve just had some fun, and fooled around alot.

Then, ve both sat underneaththe tree.
"Are you cold?" I asked her, as she seemed cold.
"No, i'm fine..."aubrey said, and then she shivered.ivrapped my arm around her shoulders and brought her closer to me.
"thank you" she said and rested her head on my shoulder. I laced myother hand with hers, andve stared out onto the lake.
"Vould you like to be my girlfriend??" I asked nervoulsy.tHis was myshot. It was the perfect moment.
"yes,i would" aubreyreplied making me so happy and unstoppable.
I gently kissed her forehead, and vent back tovatching the lake vith her.
Finally,the sunvas beginning to set and ve headed back into Hogvarts.
"I'll see you tomorrow" I said as I kissed her forehead briefly, seeing as novonevas there.
"alright, see you" she replied andvent toher common room.
Aubrey's POV
I practically floated back to the common room. I had the biggest smile on my face, but I tried to pin it back seeing as viktor and i were trying to have a very public relationship.
"Aubrey, there you are!" Fred said as I walked into the common room.
"Yes?" I asked curiously.
"Help, harry and ron got in another huge fight" hermione explained.
"Great, this is what my life is about" Imuttered, andfirstwent to ron.
"what happened?" I asked him calmly.
"harry keeps on denying that he put hisname in the goblet. I don't care that he did, he should have just told me" ron said angrily.
"ron,how could harry haveput his name in thegoblet if there is an age line? seriously, your brothers, who are freakin GENIUSES when it comes to cheating couldn't even do i. how in the world do you think harry could have done it?" i explained to him.
ron nodded his head,realizing his wrong.
then, they made upafter a while, and i sighed andwent happily off to bed.
