The Treasure In The Library

Hermione Granger strolled down a deserted aisle of the Hogwart's library in search of More Than Wrist Flick for Charms. For the most part, she had completed the majority of her homework, but as usual, it didn't take long for things to pile up. There was still Transfiguration to do, along with Care for Magical Creatures. . .

Hermione searched through the old shelves, having difficulty. Higher and higher, her warm brown eyes scanned titles of books until they settled the one she was looking for. It was on a shelf that was a foot higher than she. On her toes, Hermione stretched her arm upward, trying to reach it. She strained for a moment longer until a hand much larger than hers with particularly long fingers grabbed the book.

Hermione stiffened, feeling somebody loom over her slight frame.

"Got it," a deep voice grunted.

Hermione shivered at the warm breath that touched the back of her neck. She tilted her head back to see Viktor Krum. ". . . eh . . . ?"

Viktor took a step back and handed Hermione the book.

"Oh, thank you," said Hermione.

Viktor nodded.

The sound of excited giggling echoed over and it didn't take long for the girls to creep nearer. Hermione rolled her eyes. "Well, I have to finish studying. Excuse me."

Hermione returned to the table where she worked at, where piles of books awaited her. From the corner of her eye, she saw Viktor at a table reading with deep concentration. Though, it appeared to be in effort to ignore to group of girls who were hiding behind a shelf.

Sighing, Hermione pulled out some parchment and her favorite quill. She dipped it in ink and started rewriting the questions she was assigned for Charms.

In your opinion, does wand movement have an affect on the spell itself?

"Viktor?" There was a very high-pitched giggle. "Will you sign this for me?" One of the girls had skipped over to Viktor, who grunted and started signing something.

"Thank you so much!" squealed the girl and scurried back to her excited friends.

It continued on for another fifteen minutes. The girls watched Viktor and sent one of them over to sign something or try to speak to him. Hermione struggled to stay focus with all the noise they were creating.

"Krum, what was it like playing against—"

Hermione heard something rustle and then found Viktor walking over and taking a seat at the table beside her.

"Do you mind?"

Hermione shook her head even though she did.

Viktor sat down and resumed reading an ancient textbook.

Hermione frowned down at her paper. Not much of her questions had been answered. She flipped through more pages of More Than Wrist Flick and scribbled notes for reference.

Another girl with short hair came over but before she could do anything Hermione spoke without glancing up from her reading.

"Can't you tell you're bothering him?"

The girl clicked her tongue. "And you are?"

"Hermione Granger, a girl who's actually trying to do her homework."

"Oh, you're Harry's Muggle born girlfriend," snickered the girl. "You're not as pretty as Rita Skeeter claims."

Hermione peered up. "I'm not Harry's girlfriend."

"Anyways," the girl went on, ignoring Hermione, "Viktor do you think—"

Abruptly, Viktor slammed his book (Hermione whimpered for the books sake.) "I vould like to study vithout interruptions."

The girl stammered. "O-of course. I'll just go—"

"Sorry," said Viktor when the girl left.

"It's fine," said Hermione.

"You are here a lot, no?"

"You too," pointed out Hermione.

Viktor shrugged.

"You should be gentler," said Hermione.

"Huh?"

"The book, it's really old. You should be careful with it."

"Right."

Hermione finished the last question of Charms and moved onto Transfiguration. She opened a dusty book and began skimming through it.

"You study many subjects," said Viktor.

Hermione peeked up at him. "I suppose."

"You must be very bright then."

At this, Hermione flushed.

Viktor reopened his book and started reading once more.

Hermione couldn't help feeling that she he was watching her. Taking a deep breath, she carried on with her work.

. . .

Hermione returned the next day, placing her things at the same place as before. Going through her usual routine, she strolled the aisles and picked out her most reliable sources. Despite her size, she managed to carry a tall stack of thick books. Hermione dumped them on the tabletop and then her brows furrowed.

"Hello," said Viktor, sitting in the seat from yesterday.

"Hi," said Hermione breathlessly.

"Vhy not use magic?" asked Viktor.

"What do you mean?"

Viktor gestured at the pile of books.

"Oh . . . well you can't use magic for everything." Hermione sat and started taking out her material.

"They're heavy," said Viktor.

"I can manage," said Hermione.

Opening two more textbooks, Hermione began her schoolwork. She flipped pages, reading different paragraphs to come up with a proper topic for her History of Magic essay. The library was its usual silent self while she studied. Viktor didn't make much noise either. He got up only to exchange for a different book.

Hermione put down her quill when she completed a lengthy but very informative opening paragraph. She shook her hand to rid the tense feeling it had. Glancing up, Hermione saw Viktor stop his reading and a crease formed on his forehead.

"What—?" started Hermione.

Viktor held up a hand to silence her. He seemed to be listening carefully then he looked surly. "Girls," he said.

Sure enough, a group of girls had tiptoed around the corner and were spying on them. Many of them were wearing Bulgarian merchandise.

Hermione huffed a breath. "I think I'm done for now."

"Vait," said Viktor quietly. "If you go they vill come."

"I'm pretty sure you're more than capable of handling raging fan girls," said Hermione harshly and began gathering her things.

"I'd vather take on a Bludger," grumbled Viktor.

Hermione paused. Perhaps it wasn't Krum's entire fault that the girls trailed behind him? Still, Hermione held some grudge for disturbances he caused during her study sessions.

Pressing her lips tightly together, Hermione took back out her things and continued reading. She tried to ignore Viktor's eyes on her. "I'd like to be left in peace as well," mumbled Hermione.

"Thank you," said Viktor.

The girls didn't stay for long that day. Apparently Viktor's response the day before had done the trick and they settled with admiring from afar.

"Is it always like that?" asked Hermione when the group took their leave.

"Somevhat," said Viktor. "I don't mind most of the time . . ."

"Except when they obsessively stalk you?"

"And I vant to be left alone," added Viktor.

He had put down his book and was watching Hermione with interest. His dark eyes bore into her own and Hermione shifted uncomfortably in her chair. Nearly done with her essay, Hermione pushed aside the pile of books she had and stretched. "That'll do for today," she said.

Viktor got up as well. "I'll get those," he said, grabbing Hermione's massive stack of reading material.

"You don't have to do that," protested Hermione, pulling out her wand.

Viktor shook his head. "Can't use magic for everything, vemember?"

Hermione blinked, watching Viktor walk off to place back the books.

"Wait—! Krum, that one doesn't go there," said Hermione hastily and then went on to help him not realizing the close proximity she was to him.

When they finished putting away the many books, the two cleaned up their table. Viktor shoved some paper into his school bag.

"Viktor," he grunted.

"Pardon me?" said Hermione.

"Call me Viktor," he said. "Not Krum."

"Oh, umm, okay." Hermione adjusted the strap of her bag. "Sorry, I didn't know you didn't like being called that . . ."

"I don't like you calling me that," corrected Viktor.

Hermione avoided looking directly at him. "Er—Guess I'll see you later then. Goodnight, Viktor."

"'Night."

Hermione left, still experiencing the sensation of Viktor's gaze on her back and making her face grow warm.

A/N: Aaaaaand, DONE! Well, at least for now anyways . . . It was a lot harder to get through than I anticipated but nonetheless it was fun. Hopefully you enjoyed it _ I know there wasn't a lot of fluffy goodness but I try to keep it simple. If I do continue, it'll grow and get better.

I do hope they stayed in character D: I tried my best to keep Hermione from swooning and had Viktor stay brooding.

Please leave me review and let me know your thoughts! :3
