Fleur and Krum were two new characters we were introduced to in book
4. I am hoping that both are characters which we will see again, and I
have a sneaky suspicion that we will.

Dumbledore went out of his way to make sure that the Dumstrang students
would be welcome at Hogwarts. If it's possible in the wizard world, and
Krum still has another year of school, might he transfer to Hogwarts to
be closer to Hermione? If Krum continues to pursue Hermione, how will
Ron's react?

On the other side, Fleur commented that she would like to get a job
at Hogwarts. Considering her acheivements in the tournament, I'm not
sure I'd give her a job, but then, that jinxed Dark Arts slot is always
open. If Gilderoy could get the job, why not Fleur?

We all know that Ron gets smitten with Fleur whenever she is around,
and Hermione is the one who gets jealous whenever Ron runs after Fleur.

If both Krum and Fleur are around, Ron and Hermione might continue to
bicker and get sidetracked. However, I think that Ron and Hermione are
meant to be together. Fate will see them through, and their romance
is a sidebar to Harry's adventures and the threat of Lord Voldemort in
any case.

Personally, I'd love to see what would happen is Fleur returns to teach at
the school and Ron ends up following her around. Won't Hermione be pissed?
