Title: In a quiet moment, I'll teach you
Rating: PG-13
Pairings: Rosmerta/Viktor Krum
Word Count: 1211
Warnings:.
Summary: Durmstrang students are allowed to go to Hogsmeade after the Tri-wizard champions are announced. They visit the local pub where Viktor receives a few lessons from Madam Rosmerta that might not be useful in the tournament, but that certainly guarantee a good time.
Author's/Artist's Notes: I really loved the prompt I got from lee_west - and this was what spontaneously came into my head. I don't normally ship 'experienced woman with inexperienced boy' but here it seemed so right, and I really really enjoyed writing from a different perspective than I normally do. Hope you like it, lee_west!!
