HARRY
CXXVI
The twins several times updated him on Moody, keeping their word.
He left in the middle of class and came back with a canteen.
The last lesson was amazing.
The man is scary at times.
He has eyes everywhere, I mean everywhere!
Sometimes in the presence of Ron, who attributed probable cause to how creepy the professor looked, as well as his position.
"It's always the Defense ones," he shook his head one day. When Harry told Ron all the information he had about Moody, he had to remind him to act normal in the hallways and in the classroom. “That position is cursed. It attracts the wrong people.”
Harry shrugged. “At least there has been a good one in these years.”
Ron shook his head to the side doubtfully.
CXXVII
At the end of Moody's first class in June, he summoned Harry.
"He's giving me a private lesson next week to help me with the task," he told Ron as he left a few minutes later.
They took a few steps in silence.
“Are you crazy?” Ron asked.
Perhaps I am.
"A class with whom you suspect that put your name in the Goblet?" Ron continued, with his eyebrows furrowed. “Who wants you dead?”
"He wants me to win the Tournament," Harry corrected him, omitting the other detail.
“For dark purposes, surely. It's not likely he got you into that mess just to bring you more fame.”
He still hadn't told Ron about what happened in the woods with the real Mr. Crouch. Harry did despite how much it would reinforce Ron's idea that he was insane.
CEDRIC
CXXVII
Since they had a month to prepare, they didn't delay in getting started.
Along with Harry, they participated in a couple of the frequent study meetings that were organized for the final exams. While their friends reviewed the contents, they read about spells that could help them.
He enjoyed being with Harry in the library, whether at the table with the rest.
Sitting next to him, sharing quietly what they found...
Or when they got up and walked through the deserted hallways in search of privacy. He really wanted to focus, and Harry was talking about the list of possible magical creatures he'd been working on for the past few days, when Cedric leaned against a shelf.
Simply looking at him with a barely contained smile.
They were back together. Their relationship was serious and real.
The most real thing he had in his life and the joy invaded him completely.
"I included the ones Lupin taught last year, like the boggart, and Hagrid told me a few that..." Harry paused, turning his head to the side. "Are you there? Earth calling Cedric. Or better yet, magical world calling…”
The soft touch on his hair interrupted Cedric's laughter.
"I also brought my own notes," he replied, leaning into Harry's palm, "to complement it."
