Harry Potter And The Prince Of Slytherin 177 Krum's Bad Day.

Having lost several family members in the hands of Grindlewald, he resented coming to Durmstrang, to begin with, but when he had no other choice to do so he vowed to himself that he would stop anyone from fantasizing about Grindlewald while he was there.

From there he had met different people who shared the same ideologies as him and were just as against Grindlewald like he was. So they always stopped and managed to suppress anyone from worshiping the deathly hallows and Grindlewald alike but just when things were fine the girl named Arya had to go searching and snooping around about the deathly hallows.

Though he didn't know what exactly the girl was up to, he was still sure that the girl was just another Grindelwald fanatic like so many others. He wasn't a bully so he went up to the girl and asked her to stop politely but the girl just ignored him and was seen several times by many trying to search things related to Grindlewald. After Arya had repeatedly not cared about his warning including many others he knew he had to do something.

But things quickly took a turn from a single warning to a sudden duel with a second year. He knew he was being harsh with the girl but he didn't think anyone would try to stop him but against his expectation, the boy named Walter bravely came forward. And in his surprise, he seemed to be on a tie with that little brat. Causing him to feel shame and embarra.s.sment from his peers watching the duel in shock. After throwing barrages of insult against each other both of them decided to end this once and for all with a Quidditch match. A three against three-game.

He was sure he would be the one to win from the very beginning as he was an up and rising quidditch star himself while the other party looked as if he didn't even know the rules of the game. And the thing he was confident with was the fact that the other party didn't seem to have a third player to join the game. The girl was sure to be one of his team members but he knew no one would be gutsy enough to fight against him. The other students were sure to not bother and the same went for any member of the Quidditch team.

Though it was a bit shameful to use this as a method of winning against a second year, this was the most peaceful way he could think of solving this issue. He was sure when the day of the match would come, the boy would ask for forgiveness and this whole thing will be over with but he didn't expect, Draco Black to be an obstacle.

The guest of Durmstrang seemed to be friends with the boy as the other party took no hesitation to defend him. Though he acted fair and just, he knew it was all a facade to fool people. This caused things to be a mess as he was now certain that Walter had finally found himself a little partner of his own.

He had obviously heard some things about Draco, from news to rumors, though he expected the other party to be strong he felt he still underestimated Draco by a lot. He knew he couldn't defeat him in a normal fight but the match contained Quidditch the thing he knew not even Draco could beat him in.

But fate didn't seem to be on his side, the match started like normal and he and his friends won the first round very easily but he didn't expect Draco to cheat. Though he didn't know how, he was quick to notice Draco's concentration focused more on muttering things than catching the snitch. He wanted to call it out several times but since the other party didn't have a wand and nothing had happened so far, there was no way he could prove it.

Just then the snitch came closer to them and both of them started running on a goose chase behind the snitch. He knew he was close, he knew he was about to win but just then his broom started shaking, he felt something going wrong with the broom as Draco pa.s.sed by him catching the snitch.

Though he was bitter about losing the match, his focused relied more on the problem his broom was facing as he didn't know what was going on. The broom soon when out of control turning left and right and rocking back and forth on its own, he tried holding on to it but to no avail, he fell off the broom.

He opened his eyes as he felt someone pulling him back up. Draco who had caught him slowly let him down, saving his life and becoming a hero in the eyes of many. Krum was still shocked by what happened as he caught his broom that had just fallen down and left the field.

The broom was completely damaged none the less, to the point where it even stopped working anymore. He opened the broom completely to check what was wrong with to only find all the magical enhancement inside the broom burned to crisp.

He was now sure that Draco had indeed cheated on the match. But it was impossible to prove so as he had no clue how he did it. He first contemplated that it could be wandless magic but his expensive broom came with an enhancement that prevented anyone from using spells against his broom. Not even the darkest spell would make his broom go this crazy and get so severely damaged. There was still a small chance that the broom got damaged itself but that was very likely not going to happen so randomly.

He had questions he wanted answers to but he knew he wasn't likely going to get it. Now Arya and her friends could research and fantasize Grindlewald all they wanted without anyone stopping them as it was part of the deal but that didn't matter now as all he could hope for his qualification in getting in the national team, not get revoked. In one hand he wanted to confront Draco but on the other hand, he was still a bit thankful that Draco didn't let him fall as that fall would've really caused a lot of damage.

Thankfully all this was over, it felt like another Christmas gift today as he had finally gotten accepted to the Bulgarian Quidditch team. Things seemed to not be going so well after the match but he heard, Draco had actually sent a letter to them about the malfunction of the broom admitting to him winning only due to sheer luck, which helped clear some misunderstandings and him getting accepted.

The previous grudge he held was all gone and he could finally move on. But just before he could cheer up he heard someone attacking him with a spell but before he could react he was. .h.i.t.

A/N- So I am rushing the chapters a bit since I want to quickly end this arc as I feel like this has been going on for too long and since most of you guys don't like the whole Quidditch thing I decided to just skip it. The second volume would likely end within 25 chapters at most.
