The Boy Who Protected

Secret Revealed and Padfoot's Return

Kaden POV:

It had been a few days since the second task and right now I was in the forest with Sky and Storm for their training. Sky was going to help Storm with her her flying and teaching her how to hunt. They were both their full sizes now and flying above the forest and Sky was doing a good job of teaching Storm. Sky and I could see eye to eye when she was full sized and Storm towered over me by a considerable amount.

While the two were flying around, I was joined by someone.

"Good morning, handsome." Aurora said walking up to me and giving me a kiss on the cheek.

"Good morning, my shining star. How did you sleep?" I asked kissing her head.

"It would have been better if I didn't wake up to your bed empty." She responded.

"Sorry 'Rora, Sky and Storm were hungry so I brought them here to hunt and to train." I told her.

"It's ok, next time wake me up so I can come with you."

"How can I do that when you look so peaceful sleeping?"

"Always a charmer."

"Only for you." I replied with a smirk.

Sky and Storm landed in front of us at their full sizes and bend down to rub their heads against Aurora's.

"Well you two, I think it's time for breakfast, don't you think?" I asked as Sky let out a howl and Storm screeched to agree.

Aurora and I laughed slightly as Sky shrunk and jumped into my pocket with Storm doing the same for Aurora. We walked into the great hall for breakfast to see everyone there and when we entered, all eyes fell onto me as whispers broke out. Naomi, Hermione, Harry, and Ron ran up to me.

"Kaden, you need to see this." Naomi said panicked.

"What is it?" I asked confused.

"We swear we didn't say anything." Ron said throwing his hands up.

Naomi handed me the newest edition of the Daily Prophet while everyone kept staring at me. I cautiously opened the paper and saw a picture of myself... With my eyes completely blue and a headline and article that read:

BREAKING NEWS!

TRUE HEIR OF ANCIENT MAGIC AND THE PRINCE DISCOVERED!

I have recently unveiled information regarding the heir of ancient magic and the prince of the wizarding world, the true heir to Claire Barnes. Many people have wondered if there was ever going to be a true heir to her magic and the one who would be deemed worthy to wield the sword that was once apart of King Arthur's court. Claire Barnes, like Merlin served as a knight of the round table over a thousand years ago and the sword she wielded contained magic that only she and her true heir could wield. This heir has been identified as the third Triwizard champion and current Hogwarts student Kaden Barnes. We know little about Kaden personally since he has not given a word to reporters, all we do know is that his parents Rose and Grant Barnes are the heads of the auror department in the Ministry of Magic. Several Hogwarts students have said that he's had an easy time with magic and would sometimes get special treatment from professors and now it's clear why. The ministry has been informed and the minister himself said he would like to personally meet with Kaden Barnes as soon as possible.

I looked up from the paper to see the others looking at me. I tried to calm my breathing but I couldn't, I felt like my lungs weren't working anymore. How did she find out? We made sure no one knew or followed me whenever I had lessons with the professors. We made sure never to talk about it to anyone unless we were all alone. There's no way anyone in my friend group would betray me like this. I looked around the great hall to see everyone still staring at me and even the Durmstrangs looked shocked.
