Already an international magnate in the Quidditch world, Viktor Krum displayed pithiness and propriety when dealing with teammates, opponents and teachers at Hogwarts. However, Krum was not as passionate of a pedant or student so he was known back at Durmstrang Institute to malinger from his classes by flying in the rustic hills behind his school. When asked by his teachers where he was, Krum chuckled and equivocated with his love for studying about the history of brooms.
