wants to go and her parents let her? I don't really think so.

Now me silver stag:
You're probably right about the Grangers not allowing Hermione to visit
Viktor.  I know my parents wouldn't have allowed it when I was 15.  The
second part of your post brings up an interesting question, though. What do
the Grangers know about Voldy and would they believe he's back?  I'd guess
they would, since we see Hermione as a generally honest person, but what do
the rest of you think?

now Lorien_Eve:
Lurker here, coming briefly out of lurkdom. Yes, Krum *did* attack Cedric
(and Fleur, we assume), but he was under the Imperius Curse, cast by
Moody!Crouch, so I doubt this is an accurate portrayal of Krum's real
personality.
now Silver stag again:
You're probably right about that.  Krum obviously knows how to use at least
one unforgivable, and since he's probably about to graduate, I wouldn't be
surprised if he knew them all.  Minus being under the imperius curse,
though, I don't know that he'd normally use them.  As a random curiosity, I
wonder about his home life.  Did he learn those curses at school or
somewhere else.
Now, finally, a l.o.o.n. point: Krum didn't stun Fleur.
Ch. 35 of GoF.
    "You had an easier time of it than you should have in that maze tonight,
of course," said Moody. "I was patrolling around it, able to see through the
outer hedges, able to curse many obstacles out of your way. I Stunned Fleur
Delacour as she passed. I put the Imperius Curse on Krum, so that he would
finish Diggory and leave your path to the cup clear."
OK, I'm done rambling now.
