"I didn't like the way he looked at you." Cedric said, picking up Cayden's trunk and places it on top of him. He moves his hands down and takes his own trunk, placing it beside Cayden. He glances at Cayden's trunk when he sees something on it and smiles at the sight of his scribble on the side of Cayden's trunk.

"That was a while ago, Ced." Cayden said as Cedric sit down next to him while Elias and Malia are still placing their trunk together. "Maybe he was staring at me because he was grateful for saving him and his friends from those Death Eaters." He said, placing his hand on top of Cedric's hand, smiling softly at Cedric.

"Alright." Cedric said, nodding slowly, his eyes narrowed on something behind Cayden. "Then why was he staring at me too?" He asked, eyes turning to Cayden to watch him blink a few times.

"I've got no idea." Cayden said, shrugging, leaning back against the seat. "Maybe he was wondering why we're close to each other?" He said weakly, not even believing his words himself.

"Yeah, maybe..." Cedric said, nodding slowly, looking down at Cayden who started to squirm when he was staring for far too long.

"What is it?" Cayden asked, looking up at Cedric.

Cedric shakes his head, looking out of the window. "Nothing." He said, gritting his teeth.

"Maybe he thought you were cute." Malia said, not helping Cedric's case at all.

"What?!" Cayden said in disbelief, not believing her at all. "Malia, look at me."

"I am looking, Cayden." Malia said, looking the boy up and down just to make a point. "If I'm not into girls, you would hundred percent be my type."

"Hold up, cute boys would be your type if you aren't into girls?" Elias asked, turning his head to look at Malia.

"Yes." Malia said without hesitation, glancing at Cedric before looking away when she sees him narrowing his eyes out at the world. What did the world do to him?

"Am I cute?" Elias asked, looking hopefully at Malia while batting his eyelashes.

Malia cocks her head, looking Elias up and down while humming to herself. "Would." She said, taking a mirror from somewhere and started fixing her lipstick.

Elias bumped his fist into the air, looking at Cayden who is watching them with amusement. "Hear that, Cay? She would." He said, wiping his shoulders dramatically with a smug expression.

Cayden giggles, moving his head to lean on Cedric's shoulder, feeling the shoulder relax under him making him smile.

"Mr. Filch, our beloved caretaker, has informed me that the list of objects forbidden within the castle now includes Screaming Yo-Yos, Fanged Frisbees, Ever-Bashing Boomerangs and Chocolate Marshmallow Bunnies." Professor Dumbledore let a mischievous beat pass. "I'm joking about that last one. The full list comprises some four hundred and thirty-seven items and may be viewed in Mr. Filch's office."

"Now. There is, apparently, a rather nasty rumour flying about the school that Quidditch will not be played this year. That rumour, I'm here to tell you... is absolutely true." Professor Dumbledore said.

Instantly, loud voices fill the Hall.

Professor Dumbledore smiles in amusement. "There is an explanation. You see, Hogwarts will play host to a legendary event this year. An event that has not taken place in over one hundred years... The Triwizard Tournament."

This time, excitement shakes the hall. Fred's voice ringing clear. "You're joking!"

"I am not joking, Mr. Weasley. For those of you who do not know, the Triwizard Tournament was originally conceived some seven centuries ago as a way for the three largest European wizardry schools to engage in a series of magical contests while their respective student bodies experienced the benefits of cross-cultural social intercourse."
