"How did you three and Draco get detentions?" Cayden questioned, sitting down beside Hermione with Cedric following behind him and sat down beside him. Placing him in the middle between Hermione and Cedric.

"We were at Hagrid and got caught by Malfoy." Harry answered, looking up from his breakfast to Cayden and Cedric.

Just then, Fred and George pass by the pentad.

"Don't worry, you three. This'll all blow over." Fred said.

"It may take a year or two, but eventually people will start talking to you again." George said.

Hermione sniffs defensively as she says. "Well, I for one, see nothing wrong with a reduced social life. It'll give us more time to revise for finals."

"Why bother? Even with Malfoy losing points, Slytherin's a lock for the House Cup. And look. Malfoy knows it." Ron said, looking to where the blond Slytherin is sitting. Malfoy raises a goblet in their direction when he sees them looking their way, cackling with Crabbe and Goyle.

"He won't be smiling tonight." Hermione said, noticing the curious expression on Cayden, Harry, Ron and Cedric. "Haven't you heard?" The four of them shake their heads. "For detention they're taking us into the Dark Forest." She said lastly before going back to what she was doing and taking a glance at Cayden and Cedric, seeing them talking with each other using their faces. "What are you two talking about?" She said, gaining both of the Hufflepuff attention who turned their head towards her.

"Nothing." Cayden and Cedric said at the same exact time, Cayden sighed softly.

"Good luck tonight, you guys." Cayden said, standing up from where he is sitting. Cedric quickly stands up to follow the younger boy. "Don't get hurt, please."

"We'll try." Harry answered, giving his twin brother a small smile.

Cayden returns the smile and walks out of the Great Hall with Cedric following beside him.

Cayden and Cedric walk out onto the sunny grounds, finished with exams.

"How did your exams go?" Cedric asked, his hands in his pants pockets as he walked side by side with Cayden through the crowd of students.

"I would say not bad. But, I've got no idea." Cayden answered, rubbing his right arm, feeling the pain in his arm that has unknowingly returned. He still doesn't know why he keeps feeling the pain in his right arm. He had rolled up the sleeve to look at the cause of the pain before, but he saw nothing there. Not even a scar to tell him about the pain. Not even Madam Pomfrey could find the reason for his pain when he told her about it.

"You alright, Cayden?" Cedric questioned, noticing that Cayden is rubbing his arm.

"The pain is back." Cayden said, giving Cedric a smile that told him not to worry about it. He looks in front of him where he could see Harry rubbing his forehead scar, possibly feeling the same pain as him.

"What does the pain feel like?" Cedric asked, bringing back Cayden's attention to him.

Cayden looks up at the sky, thinking of how to respond to this. "It feels like... uh... something is cutting my arm." He said, turning his head to look up at Cedric.

"Cutting?" Cedric asked, raising his eyebrows. Though, there's a slight horror making itself known onto his face if you squint your eyes.
