Viktor took the other chair, and nodded, "I do. And it saddens me, a little, to be grouped with those who are clearly making trouble for you and the school. I have only the highest regard for Hogwarts, its staff and its students," and he raised his chin slightly, "It is wrong. Can you do nothing to stop them?"
He paused, watching her, and he hoped she understood his meaning. He really did care about Hogwarts; it had been more of a home to him then even his beloved Durmstrang. That year he had spent here had opened his eyes to so many things. Mainly, he had seen and envied acceptance, and found it with Hermione in a way he'd never experienced before.
