Aries LaCroix, a name well know around Hogwarts. People could only relate him to warmth, happiness and safety, something which the hufflepuff boy had in common with his three closest friends.
As You-Know-Who's forces reappear at the Quidditch World...
The time had come for the Quidditch World Cup, thanks to Mr. Weasley Aries and his friends would be able to go and watch the famous game with the rest of the Weasley clan, Hermione and Harry. Currently the four 5th years stood at the grand door to the LaCroix manor as Amelia, Aries' mother, checked that they had all packed everything they needed for the cup and for their 5th year at Hogwarts, "now, you are all sure that you have everything packed?", the four teens nodded with smiles which were bright despite it being so early in the morning, "if you are missing anything, just owl me and I'll send them to Hogwarts as soon as possible", she gently brushed her sons curls, "now, behave when you get to school-", she pointed at the other three, "-all of you. Do well in your classes, and-"
She was cut off by a thick, French voice, "-and have fun!", Gabriel, Aries' father, skipped down the stairs of the manor, "I am so very jealous of the four of you, going to the World Cup, I want a detailed letter as soon as it's over, not a single detail missed, understood?", Aries nodded with a smile while his friends giggled at his father antics, Gabriels eyes went to Vienna, "now, V, I'm gonna leave you in charge, Arthur said to meet him just last the pond, you know where he means?", the girl nodded, "okay, good", he ruffled his sons hair and sent them on their way.
Aries turned to wave at his parents, his fiends copying his actions, all shouting thanks to the LaCroix couple, Amelia then blinked and shouted, "Aries! I'll take dream over to the Weasleys later today, he'll be okay with Molly!", Aries nodded with a smile.
"Thanks, Mum!", he blew her a kiss as the quartet walked down the long driveway of the manor, "right, V, where are we going?"
The girl giggled, "this way", she pointed to the woods, "the ponds not far, and then we'll be with Mr. Weasley and the others", Elia seemed to burst with energy, her fiery red hair flying around her as she jumped into the air.
"And then we'll be at the Quidditch World Cup!", her friends all laughed at her high-spirits and seemed to become infected with her joy, laughing and joking their way to the pond.

Cedric looked at all of the faces before him, the majority having red hair, he desperately hoped to see a certain Korean boy but deflated when he could not spot him. His father spoke from beside him, "are we waiting on anymore, Arthur?", the Weasley patriarch looked at his group.
"Oh, yes, just four more, they should be here any minute", as though his words were a spell, a rustle came from the bushes.
A mix of voices came from within the foliage, and the group giggled when they heard a particular voice screech, "Aries, I swear to Merlin, if another branch hits m-", the words were cut off by a thwapping sound followed by loud laughs.
"Honestly, Amelia, that was a mistake. Ah!", a boy emerged from the bushes, pointing at the plant, "demon! demon!", he held his fingers in a cross as a red-headed girl launched herself at him, covered in leaves and a red mark on her cheek.
