Draco was surprised at first to meet the entire Krum family. And to realise that Hermione had been staying with them and was under father Valko Krum’s personal tutelage and patronage - she was their adopted daughter. He was a very well known wizard in Eastern Europe for his knowledge in dark arts and charms. He was also the inventor of quite a few everyday day charms as well as a popular defence spell. His position in Bulgaria’s Ministry’s Law department also afforded him inside intelligence and much political sway due to his very old family lineage.
