Hufflepuff boy - Cedric Diggory x male oc x Viktor Krum

27

Cayden wake up with a snort, holding his head up from the pillow to look at where he thought the voice came from. "Hm?" He questioned sleepily, eyes still closed as he looked at the person.

"Mr. Potter." The voice said, gently shaking him awake.

Cayden places his head down, rubbing his eyes to remove the sleep from his eyes and blinking at the person a few times before his vision cleared and shows Professor Sprout looking at him with amusement.

Cayden quickly sits up, fixing his messy hair with his hands. "Professor, what can I help you with?" He asked, rubbing his eyes again.

"Headmaster Dumbledore has called for you." Professor Sprout said.

Cayden places his hands on his lap, looking at Professor Sprout with confusion, thinking about whether he has done anything wrong but couldn't think of anything. "What's wrong?" He asked, standing up anyway to follow her.

"It's Mr. Diggory and Mr. Krum." Professor Sprout said, walking out of the common room and towards Dumbledore's office.

Cayden's eyes widened, walking forward to walk beside her, looking at her. "Did something happen to them? Are they hurt?"

"They are not hurt, Mr. Potter." Professor Sprout calmed him down before he could freak out.

They walked for about five minutes in silence before they arrived at the entrance of Professor Dumbledore's office. Professor Sprout stops and looks at Cayden, smiling softly at the boy. Professor Sprout said the password for the entrance and walked up the staircase with Cayden behind her.

Cayden moves around Professor Sprout and the first thing he notices is Cedric and Krum standing next to each other with their arms crossed, turning their heads away from someone when he enters the office.

"Cayden, good morning." Cedric greets, smiling at the boy. "We're sorry to wake you up so early." He said, smiling sympathetically at Cayden who blinked up at him.

"What's going on?" Cayden asked, looking at Professor Dumbledore for answers.

"Mr. Diggory." Professor Dumbledore said, looking at the said teenager. "Can you explain to him what happened."

"Of course, sir." Cedric said, nodding and walking towards Cayden. Cedric can see Cayden's eyes moving behind him, looking at the unknown man tied up in a chair.

"Who is that?" Cayden asked, pointing at the tied up man.

"That." Cedric said, pointing at the man. "Is fake Moody." He said, watching Cayden's eyes widened at that.

"What? How? Huh?" Cayden is speechless, not knowing what to say even though he was suspicious of fake Moody in the first place.

"Viktor helped me." Cedric said, and Cayden raise his eyebrows at that.

"When were you two on a first name basis?" Cayden questioned, glancing at Krum who is glaring at fake Moody.

"Last night." Cedric said, suddenly looking sheepish. "I told him about our list and he wanted to help." He said. "Said he wanted to return the favour."

"Oh, okay." Cayden said, gaining an arched eyebrow from Cedric, looking away from fake Moody to Cedric. "What is going to happen now?" He asked, looking at Professor Dumbledore.

"We have already sent the letter to Mr. Rosewood and Mrs. Rosewood to come and get him before Fudge can get him." Professor Dumbledore said. "I got a warning from a student that Fudge wanted to give him the Dementor kiss so he won't be able to give testimony."

"You're right about that." Mrs. Rosewood, walking into Dumbledore's office with Mr. Rosewood behind her.

"He's a man to bury his head in the sand rather than accept the truth." Mr. Rosewood said, narrowing his eyes on fake Moody.
