LXVII. Ferret

I walk through the halls as nearly all the gryffindors and some hufflepuffs/ravenclaws wear the 'Harry Potter stinks' pin.

Most of the slytherins truly did pity the boy so they mainly decided against wearing it. Plus he was my brother and I'm friends with most of the slytherins so it would just be rude.

Cedric lays down on the bench as I sit on the grass, reading a book. After I swore on my magic, all the hate was directed towards Harry which I felt slightly bad for.

"Oi, look. Harry." One of Cedric's friends says as Cedric sits up, looking at Harry.

"Oh, what's that say?" another male questions as he points towards his badge.

"Read the badge, potter!" The female taunts as I roll my eyes.

"Can I have a word?" He asks Cedric as Cedric glances towards me, I nod and stand up as Cedric die the same.

"You stink potter!" Another male yells as Cedric fake laughs at his 'friends' before giving Harry an apologetic look when he turns back towards him.

"Dragons." Harry states as Cedric tilts his head in confusion.

"That's the first task." I add on as Cedric's eyes widen slightly.

"They've got one for each of us." Harry explains before another boy yells for Cedric.

"D— are you serious?" Cedric's asks as I roll my eyes.

"No, sirius is our godfather, he's Harry." I remake as a small grin forms on Cedric's face before turning back to serious.

"What she means to say, is yes, I'm serious." Harry corrects as I simply laugh.

"And um... fleur and krum, do they?..." Cedric asks as I nod.

"I've already told them." I explain before I feel eyes on me, I glance around to see Moody hiding behind an archway, I roll my eyes as I glare at the man.

"Hey, listen, about the badges... I've asked them not to wear them, but—" he gets cut off by Harry.

"Don't worry about it." Harry smiles at the boy before walking away, I stay behind as I glance at Cedric.

"We've gone through enough, some badges won't effect him too much. Remember my second year?" I explain with a grin as Cedric's sighs, clearly worried about the boy but slowly nods.

"Don't worry, I'll still check up on him." I explain before running back towards Harry.

"You're a right foul git, you know that?" Harry snaps as Ron as I glare at the weasel with a hand on my lip.

"You think so?" Ron scowls at the boy.

"I know so." Harry corrects as Ron scoffs.

"Anything else?" Ron asks as my glare hardens at the male.

"Just stay away from him." I demand as I step infront of my brother.

"Whatever." Is all Ron says before shoving past us.

"Why so tense, potter?" I hear Draco taunt as I glance towards him only to see him sitting in a tree.

"My father and I have a bet, you see. I don't think you're going to last ten minutes in this tournament." Draco explains as he jumps down from the tree and walks towards us.

"He disagrees. He thinks you don't last five." Draco laughs as Harry glares at the boy.

"I don't give a damn what your father thinks, malfoy." Harry says as he pushes Draco, I sigh as I walk over and lean against the tree, watching it play out.
