《Viktor Krum》

"Viktor!"

Viktor Krum blinked, turning around to see Harry Potter running up to him to catch up.

"Hello," Viktor grunted.

Harry was grinning. "I just wanted to thank your for, you know, sticking with Yao and I. Back during the Second Task. I'm sorry it caused you to come in third."

Viktor shrugged. He had come in third despite technically reaching the water second, due to the judges deciding to award Harry and Yao extra points for being the ones to actively try to keep the hostages safe and for convincing Cedric and Viktor to join. Now, the Hogwarts students were tied for first.

"Anyways," Harry continued. "I know that Ron doesn't like you- I mean, I think he doesn't like you. I don't know why though."

Viktor raised his eyebrows, half-tempted to laugh.

"So do you want to have lunch with my friends and I-"

"Harrrrrrrrryy Potttttttter," A voice hissed, causing both young men to jump.

Barty Crouch was staggering up to them, a desperate expression in his eyes. He grabbed onto Harry's arms. Viktor immediately pulled out his wand.

"Let Harry go!" He demanded.

Crouch swiveled his head around to stare at Krum.

"Dumbledore," He rasped.

"Sorry," Harry said, nervously pushing Crouch off. "That's not Dumbledore. That's Viktor."

"I think he wants to see Dumbledore," Viktor suggested.

"Dumbledore… please…"

"I'll go get him," Harry offered.

Viktor nodded. Harry dashed off.

"Dumbledore," Crouch mumbled deliriously, grabbing onto Krum's shoulders.

"Yes, I know, Harry is going to get him."

"Please…"

"I said Harry's going to get him! Also, whatever it is, can't you just tell me n-"

Avada kedavra

There was a flash of green light, and, the madness slowly fading from his eyes, Crouch's grip and Viktor loosened and he fell to the floor.

Before Viktor even had a chance to react, to scream, to do anything, a second spell was cast.

Stupefy.

Viktor's world dissolved into black.
