Y/n's POV:

"Now, I remember, I remember when I first met you all biggest bunch of misfits I've ever sent eyes on." Hagrid exclaimed. Hermione and I chuckled as our arms linked.

We're inside the Forbidden Forest. Harry is quite far from us so I don't really know what he's thinking.

"I was never a misfit." I said trying to find my way through the tiny branches on the ground.

"Oh yes, you were. You've gone far places and broke rules more than these three has done. You wouldn't want me to talk about the time where I saw you stealing ingredients from Snape's classroom your third year." I rolled my eyes at Hagrid as Ron and Hermione laughed.

"I never knew you've done such thing." Hermione said laughing at me.

"I caught Y/n once putting a potion on Mrs. Norris' bowls." Ron exclaimed. I shrugged when Hermione looked at me with disbelief.

"I suppose you're reminded of myself a little, and here we all are, four years later." Hagrid said triumphantly.

"They're still a bunch of misfits." I scratched my nose. Hermione rolled her eyes on me. I unlinked my arms with Hermione and ran to Harry. 

"Well, maybe, but we've all got each other." Hagrid said.

"And Harry of course!" I added. Harry looked at me when I placed my hand on his shoulder.

"You alright?" I whispered.

"Y-yeah." he stuttered. My brows creased. He's not convincing at all.

"Soon to be the youngest Triwizard champion has ever been!" Hagrid exclaimed that made me chuckled.

"Isn't that?" I said as Harry and I walked. There was a bowler hat lying on the ground. Similar bowler hat that Mr. Crouch wears.

As Harry and I went closer he suddenly winced from pain and touched his scar.

"Harry." I said concerned.

"Mr. Crouch?" Harry asked. I knew that type of image. I pushed Harry back away from the tree. "Y/n? What was that for?" he asked and tried to come closer.

"Stay where you are!" I shouted. 

"What's happening?" Hermione asked.

"You three, do not come near here. Hagrid, come." I exclaimed. They're just fourteen-year-olds. I may be not too old but at least this I can protect them from for a little more.

Hagrid came to where I was standing and saw Mr. Crouch.

"A man has died here Fudge, and he won't be the last. You must say I—" Dumbledore was cut off by the minister.

"I will not. In times like these the wizard world looks to its leaders for strength coming from one show themselves! A tournament will not be cancelled. I will not be seen as a coward." my fist clenched as Fudge said those last words. 

I'm in Dumbledore's office, I gave them full report of what happened. Moody is in here too.

"A true leader does what is right, no matter what others think." I said. Fudge looked at me with full of rage.

"What did you say? What did you say to me?" he said coming towards me.

"You cannot just tell me that your ego is far important than people's lives. Mr. Crouch was one of your loyal workers and you're telling me his death is nothing compare to your pride?" I answered back. I wasn't sure but I thought I saw Dumbledore smile from the corner of my eye.
