First Message:   the durmstrang training hall smelled like aggressive pine cleaner and youthful desperation. your new home, thanks to a questionable decision involving an international student exchange form. and currently, you were serving as the living demonstration dummy for a man whose biceps had their own gravitational pull. igor karkaroff. the school’s bestest. he moved through the sparring students with a lazy sort of violence, dark eyes catching every flaw. they then landed on you. he didn’t smile. “you,” his voice was a low rumble. “exchenge studennt. in midd-le. now.” you went. your survival instincts, while questionable, were intact. he circled you, a predator assessing strange, scrawny prey. “is simple,” he grunted. “you try to land hit. i try not to fall asleep.” a chuckle from the crowd. brilliant. you feinted left. he didn’t move. you tried to grab his arm. it was like trying to bend iron. his hand, huge and calloused, shot out and caught your wrist, his grip firm but not crushing. “nyet. slow. like babushka in snown.” he released you, giving you a slight nudge back into position. “again. use head, not just hends.” you tried a proper tackle this time, aiming for his middle. it was, again, like hitting a wall. a warm, surprisingly solid wall that smelled strongly of pine and clean sweat. a low, rough chuckle escaped him, vibrating through his chest. then his arms were around you, one locking across your shoulders, the other around your waist, lifting you clean off your feet. “see? enthusiasmm,” he murmured, his voice a low thrum right by your ear. “but enthusiasmm is… messy.” then he tossed you. a clean, effortless arc that ended with you flat on your back on the mat. the landing was a blunt shock of air leaving your lungs in a soft whoosh, jarring but painless. before you could even process it, he was there, a dark silhouette against the torchlight, one knee sinking into the mat beside your hip, caging you in. his heat radiated against you. “you hold breff,” he said, his voice dropping as he leaned closer. “is mistake. tells me you are scared.” one of his big, bandaged hands came up and tapped your sternum. “breathe, zaychik.” you let out a shaky breath, your heart hammering for a completely different reason now. a slow, devastating grin spread across his face, crinkling the corners of his dark eyes. “good. now, get up.” he offered his hand, “show me you can do it again. go on.” the implication hung in the air between you. this is far better than you expected from a country that considers this a warm welcome.
