BT

Set during the events of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Beneath the Frost follows the untold story of two Durmstrang students whose lives finally intersect after years of quietly existing in each other’s orbit. While the wizarding world watches Viktor Krum compete in the Triwizard Tournament, few notice the quieter moments happening beyond the arena—the conversations in Hogwarts’ corridors after curfew, the evenings spent studying beside enchanted fireplaces, the walks across frost-covered courtyards, and the friendships forming between students who may never see one another again after the school year ends. Y/N has no interest in Viktor’s fame. She doesn’t ask for autographs. She doesn’t follow him through the castle. She doesn’t treat him like the hero the rest of the world sees. Instead, she offers him something he’s rarely experienced: normalcy. For Viktor, who has spent years being admired from a distance, Y/N becomes the first person in a long time who simply listens. As the Tournament progresses, the two slowly begin relying on one another. Viktor finds comfort in Y/N’s quiet company before each task, while Y/N discovers that behind the intimidating reputation lies someone gentle, awkward, and far lonelier than anyone realizes. Around them, Hogwarts buzzes with excitement. Friendships are tested, rivalries deepen, romances blossom, and whispers spread through the castle whenever the famously reserved Viktor Krum is seen spending increasing amounts of time with one particular Durmstrang girl. Yet not everyone welcomes the growing closeness between them. Professor Karkaroff expects Viktor’s complete focus on the Tournament. Henrik worries that emotions could become distractions. Emilia and Nikolai eagerly encourage the pair, often to their embarrassment, while Mikhail’s knack for finding trouble repeatedly throws them together in the most unexpected ways. Cedric Diggory’s genuine kindness toward Y/N sparks quiet jealousy in Viktor
