Great Hall No POV

It was breakfast time at Hogwarts as Owls delivered the mail, students had breakfast and just the time to groan about a day full of boring lessons that may or may not save your life one day.

Wade was the talk of the school, nay the three schools, about 60 percent of the students stopped wearing the badges that supported Cedric but changed to hate Wade. There was a split in fans for both Hogwarts champions with half being Team Cedric and the other half being Team Wade. All because he killed a Dragon. A 14 year old killing a Dragon. That was Daily Prophet news material.

Anyway, Wade was eating his bacon eggs and toast with orange juice as Merula, Penny, Ben and Andre sat around him. Merula had a Daily Prophet on her hands.

Merula: look at this! I can't believe it! "Ms Snyde, self proclaimed Most Powerful Witch in all of Hogwarts, seems to be developing a taste for famous wizards. Her first prey, sources report, is Wade Torchwick, 4th champion of the Triwizard Tournament and Dragon Slayer. However she's not as bad as Ms Granger who also has developed a taste for famous wizards as he latest prey, sources report, is none other than the Bulgarian bonbon, Viktor Krum."

Wade: I don't know why you're even reading that.

Merula: I was reading the actual part of your victory against the Dragon and this caught my eye.

Penny: that woman gets in everyone's business, she has no shame in letting private secrets out.

Ben: she's not that bad.

Penny: then she hasn't gotten to you yet.

Andre: what she wrote about you?

Penny: that I was brewing a love potion in Snape's Class to use it on Cedric. I don't even see him that way at all!

Wade: if you read and believe whatever that woman is writing, you're officially an idiot.

Merula: couldn't agree more. I don't believe her but I hate gossip being spread about me, especially if it's fake!

Ben: so, Wade, did you really keep a miniature version of the Dragon you killed?

Wade: souvenir.

Penny: the Golden Egg could also be souvenir.

Wade: true but at least the Dragon doesn't scream a horrendous loud pitch when open and it's like having a real Dragon without fearing that the Ministry will take it away from you.

Penny: I bet Hagrid will love to get his hands on those.

Wade: he's taking care of mine until the end of the school year. I trust him with that Dragon since he's the Teacher for Care of Magical Creatures.

Ben: true.

Wade held his palm out and Hunter dropped a letter in his hand.

Andre: wow.

Penny: I think I'm starting to see why Tonks calls you an Oracle.

Wade: shut up.<opens the letter and reads it> "Dear Wade, congratulations on your victory against the Dragon, I'm so proud of you. I haven't been able to go to Hogwarts due to the Ministry trying to still see how the events at the World Cup unfolded. I'll try to be there for your Final Task at least. Sorry I couldn't send you a tuxedo for the event. I'll make it up to you in the Summer. Signed, Roman your dad"

Merula: what do you need a tuxedo for?

Wade: I don't know.

Ben: guys, look at Weasley!
