Hufflepuff boy - Cedric Diggory x male oc x Viktor Krum

3

Cayden looks up at where Harry is, frowning at the sight of his broom lurching back and forth, as if trying to push him off of it. He looks around the Quidditch stands with his binoculars, trying to find something for the reason why Harry broom is trying to kick him off.

"What's wrong with him?" Cedric questioned from beside him, frowning as well.

Cayden's eyes narrowed on Professor Quirrell, who is muttering something from where he is sitting under Severus, who is also muttering something. He moves away from his stands and starts making his way towards where Professor Quirrell is sitting.

He said 'sorry' to the people he accidentally pushed to make his way towards Professor Quirrell. He places his hand on Severus' ankle, telling the man that he is going to do something. Severus moves his ankle, telling him that Severus already knows he is here.

Cayden takes out his wand from under his sleeve, not flinching when Hermione joins him from under the stands. No, he did not flinch. You're seeing stuff.

Hermione raised her eyebrows at him in amusement.

Cayden rolls his eyes, pointing his wand on Professor Quirrell single cloth that is hanging out and a jet of flames comes out of his wand, lighting Quirrell's cloth on fire. Successfully distracting the man, and stopping Harry's broom from trying to take him off.

Cayden stepped back and turned around, making his way back towards Cedric.

Cedric turns his head to the approaching figure of Cayden, having seen him leave his side to do something. "Where did you go?" He asked Cayden after he is standing beside him.

"Somewhere." Cayden answered, looking at where Harry is trying to catch the snitch. He holds his breath when Harry is flying too close to the ground, gasping with everyone else when Harry and earth collide. He takes the binoculars from Cedric, moving forward and looking down at where Harry is.

Harry is on all fours, his hand to his mouth. As if he were sick. He coughs many more times before he finally stops and shoots his hand into the air, showing the Snitch to everyone who was watching him.

Cayden finally got to relax, his shoulders slumping down as he pulls the binoculars away from his eyes. He feels Cedric wrap his arm around his shoulders, stroking his thumb over his left shoulder. He looks up to see Cedric looking down at him with a soft smile. "What?" He asked, wondering what the older boy was thinking.

"You care." Cedric said, smiling when Cayden huffed and looked away from him with a small blush of embarrassment at being caught.

"He didn't give me a reason to." Cayden said, huffing once again when he sees Cedric raised eyebrows. "Just because he doesn't like Draco, doesn't mean I can't be friends with him." He said, looking up at Cedric who smiles down at him.

"That's right." Cedric said. "Don't let anyone stop you from making friends."

Cayden wipes an imaginary tear, sniffing. "You're so wise, old Cedric." He said, giggling when Cedric playfully pushed him. As gently as he can.

"I am not old." Cedric said, glaring down at Cayden who is holding in his giggle, though there's a smile on his face.

"Alright, grandpa." Cayden said, smiling, moving his hand up to the hand that was still on his shoulder and rubbing it. "Let's get you to bed." He said, wrapping his right arm around Cedric's waist.

Cedric snorts, but he plays into the act anyway, putting his full weight onto Cayden almost making the boy stumble at his weight. He laughs, standing up straight and pulling his weight back from Cayden.

"I hate you so much." Cayden said, but he seems to be holding back a smile.

"Oh really now?" Cedric asked, an amused smile on his face as he follows Cayden.

"Yes." Cayden said without hesitation, not having the strength to fight back the smile anymore and let it take over his face. He looks up at Cedric, seeing the offended look on the teen's face.

"After what we've been through?" Cedric asked, placing his hand on his chest as if he was hurt. But by the twitching of his lips, he can see that Cayden's words didn't hurt him at all. He has long accepted that Cayden uses this kind of joke. He was surprised when he heard Cayden playing around like this around Draco. So Cayden explained to him, that this is his way of trying to stop people from approaching him. It has never failed him before, so he never stops.

"What have we been through?" Cayden asked, gaining a playful shove by Cedric, making him giggle.

≪ °❈° ≫

"Cayden!" Cayden froze at the sound of the familiar voice, frowning to himself before he turned around and looked at the three approaching figures of Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

"Potter, what can I help you with?" Cayden asked, ignoring the unamused raised eyebrows from Hermione as the three stopped in front of him.

"Oh, stop it will you." Hermione said first before Harry could voice his words. "We all know you care about Harry." She said, crossing her arms.

Cayden bit the inside of his cheeks, turning his eyes to look at Harry, waiting for the boy to talk.

"Hermione said you helped me back at the Quidditch game." Harry said, looking at Cayden.

Cayden shrugs, not knowing what to say to that.

"Thank you." Harry said sincerely, holding back a smile at the off-guard look on Cayden's face. He didn't have much hope for Cayden to talk, but he couldn't help himself and asked. "Why did Professor Snape not take me with you?" He asked, catching Cayden off-guard again. He needs it, he needs the explanation of why Professor Snape left him with the Dursleys and took Cayden with him. He didn't even know he had a twin. The Dursleys didn't say anything about him having a twin. He had to hear it from Hagrid, and Ron.

Cayden thinks of a way to explain to Harry that Professor Dumbledore would stop Severus if his Godfather tries to take Harry with him. He turns his eyes back at Harry. "Because, Professor Dumbledore would have stopped him." He said. "Dumbledore let him take me because Severus firstly told Dumbledore about the letter mum had left for him." He added, sighing to himself.

Harry nods, taking the explanation. Though he is dissatisfied at being placed in the Dursleys house. He at least got some explanation of why Cayden is not with him. "Thanks for explaining." He said, sending Cayden a small smile before turning around to make his way to the Courtyard but he stopped when he heard Cayden's voice.

"You're getting suspicious of the wrong person, you know." Cayden said, watching as Harry turns around to look at him. "Professor Quirrell was muttering something too, not just Severus." He said, and Harry furrowed his brows. "Severus was muttering a counter spell." He said, about to turn around but was stopped by Harry's voice.

Cayden turns around and look at Harry, wondering why he had called for him again.

Harry looks straight into Cayden's eyes. "Can we start over?" He asked, hand held out without waiting for his twin response. "I was wrong to judge you for making friends." He said, looking at Cayden who is looking down at his hand.

Cayden looks up from Harry's hand to his eyes, holding up his hand and grasping his twin's hand into his, filling Harry's face with a smile. "Cayden Potter, it's nice meeting you, Harry Potter."

"It's nice meeting you too, Cayden Potter."
