Quidditch World Cup 2014: The Drama Continues In The 427th Opening Ceremony

Welcome Quidditch fans one and, all short and tall, I gladly introduce to you...  The 427th Quidditch World Cup!

 This past weekend marked the beginning of everyone's favorite international sporting event. With the introduction to the World Cup there was a headline in the Daily Prophet that read "Disastrous Opening Ceremony Leads to Questions About Quidditch World Cup Security." Now I wont go into detail about the contents of the article because there is no doubt that you already know every word. But for the few of you that got a bludger to the head and failed to read it, you can find a copy here.  All that I will say is that competition is fierce and that more wizards would do well to pick back up their copy of Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them.

Dream Dust: More Than a Friend… Maybe

In the second task of the Triwizard Tournament something that each of the contestants would sorely miss was taken from them and hidden at the bottom of the lake. The thing that was taken from Victor Krum was Hermione Granger. At this point in the novel we already found out that Krum had taken to liking her quite a bit, or at least enough to ask her to go to the ball with her. What surprised me was that no one from his school was taken, no family or best friend, but rather a girl he had known for such a short while. For this prompt I would like you to write an inner dialogue or a dialogue between Krum and someone else that sheds light on his deeper feelings for her.
