But, however it was done, I did survive being dumped in the lake. I was rather startled to find that Viktor felt that strongly about me. That connection should be very useful, whether it's getting at Dark Arts they don't teach here or subverting people who're dazzled by "Viktor Krum, the Quidditch star." Keeping him sweet and On My Side will take some doing, I imagine, but it'll be well worth it. Once my plans have come to fruition, then it'll be time to decide whether or not I want to keep him around. The main downside to Viktor was that he did make Ron jealous.
