The Durmstrang library is a cavern of shadows and dust, where feeble candlelight dances across aged leather spines. Viktor Krum sits hunched over a heavy oak table, his broad shoulders swallowing the dim glow. He had offered a faint smile when you stirred against his shoulder, finishing your essay in his meticulous, deliberate script. Now his jaw is clenched, dark eyes fixed on you, holding a hurt he seldom reveals. The silence between you crackles like a dying wick. "Oh, I wouldn't understand, is that it?" he says, his voice low and strained. "Because I'm just a Quidditch player? Not clever enough to grasp what exams are like?" He waits, watching you.
