Why this must be read:
This short story gives us a lovely missing scene from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Viktor Krum approaches a frazzled Professor McGonagall to ask permission to ask Hermione to the Yule Ball. The conversation that ensues is a study in miscommunication and mortification for both participants, but by the end, both Viktor and McGonagall part with happier spirits.
This fic fits nicely into canon, and its characterization of both Viktor and McGonagall is nigh perfect. Even Krum's stilted and heavily accented English is just as Rowling would have written it. The whole fic is very nicely written, and the last line is sure to give a chuckle.
There is a canon-friendly sequel of sorts called Eloquent, which takes place just after Hermione's confrontation with Ron at the Yule Ball. It's just as lovely and well-written as "Chivalry," but a bit more shippy for Hermione/Viktor.
* * *
Minerva was used to working efficiently in an atmosphere of hormones and volatile emotion, but the way the school had seethed with romantic nerves in the past few weeks was starting to exhaust even her. On just the two minutes' walk to her office, she'd had to dodge Neville Longbottom -- surprisingly gifted dancer, that one -- as he cornered Ginny Weasley with a hopeful look, almost lost her armful of Transfiguration scrolls as the Krum boy shouldered past her into a corridor to avoid a group of girls heading straight towards him, and come to a complete standstill behind Potter and the youngest Weasley boy conferring together in the middle of the stairs, darting glances around them with an air that suggested desperation. "Well, there's Hermione; if nothing else pans out I can ask her," she could hear the redhaired boy hiss as she came up behind them. "I mean, no one else is going to -- it'd be an act of mercy on my part, really--"
Minerva had found herself remarkably ill-tempered as she forced her way past.
