Oh, Those Chocolate Brown Eyes!!! A Viktor Krum Love Story Chapter 6

You took a deep breath as you began. “Cedric Diggory is a trophy. He basks in the glory of his friend’s, families, and classmate’s praises. He is a self-centered, pompous, ignorant jerk who is full of himself and who believes that the world revolves around him. He has been asking me out since the end of last year, but I want nothing to do with him. He just doesn’t know when to give up.” You finished, looking at everyone’s expression. Hermione, Carrie, and Alex had bored expressions on their faces; they had heard this speech dozens of times. Ivan and Demitri had their mouths hanging open and Viktor had a serious expression on his face.

“Well, we had better be going,” you said, cutting into the awkward silence. You, Carrie and Hermione got up and headed to class.

“Vait!” you heard from behind you. You turned around to see Viktor Krum running towards you. Hermione and Carrie went on ahead to class.

“Anabele, I feel the same vay, about Cedric I mean, and I hate people like that as vell,” Viktor said looking at you with intense eyes. You felt like butterflies were flying around in your stomach; just like you felt you threw up, but you were sure you weren’t going to. It left you slightly baffled as to why you felt this way.

You smiled at Viktor. “Thanks,” you said, but you weren’t sure why, it just felt like the right thing to say. “Well, I got to get going,” you stated, yet again cutting into an awkward silence, but this one wasn’t like the other one; you weren’t entirely sure that you didn’t like it.

“See vyou,” Viktor said giving you a dazzling smile that made your heart hammer in your chest so loud that you were sure Viktor could hear it.

You went to the rest of your classes in a daze. All you could think about was your reaction towards Viktor. You couldn’t understand it. Viktor was just your friend, nothing more.

At lunch you wondered whether it would be too uncomfortable to sit at the Slytherin table or not. But when you chanced a glance at the Slytherin table, you saw that Carrie and Hermione were already there, laughing at something Dimitri the clown had just said. You walked towards the table and sat down.

“Got to go,” Carrie and Hermione said as they sat down.

“Why?” You asked. “We have to talk to Harry and Ron about something,” They replied before leaving you alone with the boys.

You turned to the table now filled with males and looked at them wide-eyed, pretending to be scarred.

“Oh come on,” Dimitri said when he noticed your expression. “We aren’t that bad.”

“Some of us anyway,” Vladimir responded, eyeing Dimitri suspiciously.

“Vell, ve’re off,” Vladimir and Dimitri said before leaving you alone with Viktor.

You turned to Viktor and your heart accelerated. He gave you a soft smile and you gave him one in reply. You starred down at your plate not knowing what else to do.

“You’re not going to eat?” Viktor asked, his voice filled with concern.

“No. I’m not hungry,” you responded. There wasn’t any more room in your butterfly filled stomach.

“He’s just a friend, just a friend,” You reminded to yourself.

“I’m tired, I think I’ll just go up to bed,” you said to Viktor. You didn’t wait for a response, you just ran to the common room.

“How was dinner,” Hermione and Carrie asked, looking at you too innocently.

‘Just fine,’ you responded. You were going to go up to your room when you heard Carrie mutter, “Aww! I thought something was going to happen!”

You whirled around to glare at Carrie. “Viktor and I are just friends!” You screamed at her. She just blinked at you then said, “Sure you are,” with a smirk.

You stomped up to your room. “We are just friends, right?’ you asked yourself as you got ready for bed. But you knew that this was a tiny crush, that Viktor wouldn’t like someone so plain and boring as you, that girls like you did not date teen celebrities, and that you were just imagining things. You tossed and turned all night, thinking of Viktor Krum.
