Bulgaria-
Boarders on Romania to the north, the Black Sea to the east, and
Greece and Turkey to the south.

It is 145 miles from the bulgarian capital of Sofia to the Greek
Mediterranian city of Saloniki (Thessoloniki), and 195 miles to the
Dragon Research Center in Romania (see maps a link below)

WOO-HOO! Got to plug my maps again.

It's 212 miles from Sofia to the Burgas on the shores of the Black Sea.

I suspect that Viktor lives in the beautiful Rhodopi Planina mountain
range south of Sofia and near the Greek border.

Bulgaria is one of those old mysterious European countries steep in
old dark magic. I can't see Hermione passing up a chance to go to a
place like this. But I find myself wondering if Hermione will travel
there with her parents, or if her parents trust her enough to send a
15? year old girl to spend a few weeks with a boy who is clearly
interested in her? Either way, I'm pretty sure she is going.
