>>Or maybe Krum has missed alot of school
due to his professional Quidditch career.>>

Thank you!  THAT is why I spent an hour searching through bits of 
GoF.  I -swear- I read somewhere that Krum is still in school because 
he can only do half a year, what with playing for Bulgaria.  And, 
depending on how long he's been playing for Bulgaria, he could have 
more schooling left to do...which means he *could* go to Hogwarts as 
a student.  But I can't seem to find it anywhere in GoF.  Maybe I 
read it in QTtA?  Hmm...possible, but unlikely.  I guess next time I 
re-read GoF, I'll have to keep an eye open for that.

>>You're assuming Krum would be in Gryffindor. There are three other 
houses and Hufflepuff, sadly, has a Seeker opening.>>

Now there's an interesting question!  What house would Krum be sorted 
into?  Wouldn't it just be horrible for Gryffindor if he got put in 
Slytherin, and Harry had to face him on the Quidditch field?  But I 
don't know.  Krum must be somewhat ambitious for him to have gotten 
so far in Quidditch at such a young age...but he doesn't seem quite 
like the Slytherins we know.  And is he brave enough for Gryffindor?  
It took him, what, half a school year just to work up enough courage 
to talk to Hermione.  And he was pretty derned leery of sticking 
around with Mr. Crouch(Sr.) near the edge of the forest.  But then 
again, the risk he takes everytime he performs a Wronski Feint, or 
heck, just getting on that broom and flying near those bludgers...

But Krum seems like a Hufflepuff or a Ravenclaw candidate to me(which 
I *like*, because if he goes to Hogwarts and gets sorted into one of 
those, maybe we'll finally learn more about these houses![speaking of 
which, why don't the Gryffindors have any classes with Ravenclaw? 
They've had Potions with Slytherin forever, Herbology with the 
Hufflepuffs...and unless I'm mistaken, *nothing* with Ravenclaw- 
why?]).  He was a good sport about everything, he approached Harry to 
get confirmation on his feelngs for Hermione instead of just picking 
a fight; he complimented Harry on his flying skills; he didn't even 
talk bad about Karkaroff, IIRC, even after the guy had tucked tail 
and deserted them.  And you could say him taking a full bludger to 
the face and yet still going on shows a great deal of dedication and 
loyalty.  But, then, back to the library thing- he spent half the 
year in there, and he wasn't just goggling at Hermione the whole tme, 
he was actually *studying*, or pretending to.  Krum could be the 
quiet studious type, and thus be a possible Ravenclaw.  He flies like 
a raven, but he seems to move like a badger.  So who knows what he is!


~Aldrea  (While looking through GoF, I kept getting sidetracked 
because I'd start just reading the book instead of searching for 
Krum...infact, the very last bit of GoF held my attention for quite 
awhile, and the part where Mrs. Weasely hugs Harry nearly had me in 
tears, yet again. =P)
