It was now officially the weekend and the Hufflepuff gang and I were meeting outside in the courtyard to chill in the less cold wether that had adorned itself upon us this morning. The trees looked greener, and the grass had been freshly cut, leaving that fresh grass smell in the air.

The corridors were filled with students of all ages, all either on tower way to the library, courtyard or just chatting as they walked. I however, was skipping along by myself, my long brown hair swishing behind me as I happily made my way to the courtyard. I had since taken my robe off and doing it over the strap of my bag and was instead wearing my grey Hufflepuff school cardigan. However, as I made my way outside, I was stopped by someone calling my name.

"Cherry!" I turned around to see Marcus and Zach, two of my brother best friends, were making their way towards me. Zach was holding a large box in his arms, Marcus beside him with a large jar that has been filled almost halfway with sickles.

"Hey guys," I smiled, approaching them, "what's that?" I nodded towards their box and their faces turned to a smirk.

"These are our support Cedric Diggory badges," Marcus smirked proudly.
"We made them last night," Zach added, "stayed up till four in the morning."

I looked inside the box to see three sections. All had badges in them. One set of badges was orange with yellow markings in the background, and words that said 'support Cedric Diggory'. The next had Cedric's face printed in the middle, with red, orange and yellow lines in a circle with the words 'Support Cedric Diggory' at the top and 'The Real Hogwarts Champion' at the bottom. The third was red and said 'Support Cedric Diggory' in bright neon letters and 'The Real Hogwarts Champion' across the bottom.

"Wow these are so cool," I beamed, taking one of each from the box.

"10 sickles each," Zach beamed, "do you want one?" I chuckled, shaking my head and put them back, opening my bag and taking out my money sack. I plopped 10 sickles into the jar that Marcus was holding, and picked up one of the red badges.

"Thanks," I smiled, "are you guys coming to the courtyard?"

"We will in a bit," Marcus replied, "gunna sell some more badges first." I waved them off and made my way outside.

I already had quite a few badges on my bag; including a feminist badge, a badge that said 'werewolf's are people too', the Ireland rosette I got from the World Cup, and many more. So instead of putting the badge on my bag, I clipped it to the front pocket of my cardigan. However, what I didn't know, is that every so often, the badge would change from 'Support Cedric Diggory' to 'Potter Stinks' and back again, using magic.
