"Fred, George, Ginny is your responsibility!"

George was determined to protect his sister from whatever was going on.
As soon as he and his twin exited the tent, he heard two voices with thick Bulgarian accents.

"Lina, ve must get back, the headmaster vill be looking for us!"

"Viktor vat is going on?"

"I do not know."

George had no time to see who it was before his sister dragged him on the way, but he was pretty sure Viktor Krum had just been outside their tent.

Nikolina was afraid of the men in the skull masks. They were burning tents and torturing the muggles.

When something would fly at them,  typically flaming debris, Viktor would shield her from injury.

When they got to Karkaroff,  he rushed them both to the stadium which was so far, untouched.

"It vill be fine Lina," Viktor told her. "I promise."

Karkaroff took them back to Durmstrang.

"In light of recent events, we will not be leaving for Hogwarts until October. Also, there will be fifteen students making the journey. We will hold duels to decide who is the best."

After discovering that Viktor and Nikolina were inseperable, Karkaroff had actually begun to like the girl. She was intelligent and dangerous,  but trustworthy. She and Viktor were already on the list to go to Hogwarts.

By the end of the week,  it was decided. Nikolina was one of two girls attending the tournament. However, he did not tell her until the day before they were due to leave. He wished to see how she would handle it.

"Viktor, he is letting me come vith you!" Nikolina exclaimed to her friend after one of his quidditch practices.

"That is vonderful my Lina," Viktor replied. Once he had put away his gear, they took a walk on the grounds.

"Ve leave tomorrow," she said softly, her eyes wandering from mountain to mountain around her beloved school.

"Yes, ve do. Hogvarts will be an adventure," Viktor replied. Before he continued,  he used his left hand to turn her head towards him. As their eyes met, he said, "One that hopefully ve vill take togther."

He rested his forehead on hers and wrapped his arms around her waist. With her arms around his neck, she lowered her head to rest it on his chest.

She couldn't place the emotions she felt in the moment because she feared they would ruin what was there so instead, she simply enjoyed his embrace.

With similar thoughts occurring to him, Viktor pulled his smaller friend ever so slightly closer to himself and kissed the top of her head.

The night seemed perfect for both.

***I'm sorry I suck at the accent thing and please try not to think this is moving too fast... you would have been bored if I wrote from the beginning of their friendship***
