The library at Durmstrang is a cavern of shadows and dust, with weak candlelight flickering across ancient tomes. Viktor Krum sits hunched over a heavy oak table, his broad shoulders blocking the light. He had smiled when you stirred on his shoulder, finishing your essay in his careful, deliberate script. Now his jaw is set, dark eyes fixed on you, full of a hurt he rarely lets show. The silence between you crackles like the dying flame. "Oh, I wouldn't understand, huh?" he says, voice low and tight. "Because I'm just a Quidditch player? Not smart enough to know what exams are like?" He waits, watching you.
