[CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN]
GOBLET OF FIRE

𓅓

As they recrossed the entrance hall with the rest of the Hogwarts students heading for the Great Hall, Evelyn saw Lee jumping up and down on the soles of his feet to get a better look at the back of Krum's head. Victoria and Gabi were laughing as Blair frantically searched her pockets as they walked —

"Oh I don't believe it, I haven't got a single quill on me —"

"Maybe he'll sign your hat with lipstick?" Victoria suggested, a smirk grew on her lips as Blair nodded her head thoughtfully at her suggestion.

"You have a quill in your hair, B" Evelyn laughed as she passed her.

"Oh!"

"I'm getting his autograph if I can," said Ron. "You haven't got a quill, have you guys?"

"Nope, they're upstairs in my bag," said Harry.

They walked over to the Gryffindor table and sat down. Ron took care to sit on the side facing the doorway, because Krum and his fellow Durmstrang students were still gathered around it, apparently unsure about where they should sit.

The students from Beauxbatons had chosen seats at the Ravenclaw table. They were looking around the Great Hall with glum expressions on their faces. Three of them were still clutching scarves and shawls around their heads.

"It's not that cold," said Hermione defensively. "Why didn't they bring cloaks?"

"Over here! Come and sit over here!" Ron hissed. "Over here! Hermione, budge up, make a space —"

"What?"

"Too late," said Ron bitterly.

Viktor Krum and his fellow Durmstrang students had settled themselves at the Slytherin table. Evelyn could see Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle looking very smug about this. As she watched, Malfoy bent forward to speak to Krum.

"Yeah, that's right, smarm up to him, Malfoy," said Ron scathingly. "I bet Krum can see right through him, though . . . bet he gets people fawning over him all the time. . . . Where d'you reckon they're going to sleep? We could offer him a space in our dormitory, Harry . . . I wouldn't mind giving him my bed, I could kip on a camp bed."

"Godric, You sound desperate." Evelyn cringed.

Hermione snorted.

"They look a lot happier than the Beauxbatons lot," said Harry.

The Durmstrang students were pulling off their heavy furs and looking up at the starry black ceiling with expressions of interest; a couple of them were picking up the golden plates and goblets and examining them, apparently impressed.
