Hufflepuff boy - Cedric Diggory x male oc x Viktor Krum

Cayden walks with Cedric down the corridor, finally alone for the first time. Cedric is quiet, thinking about something inside his mind while Cayden is wondering about Viktor.

"When do you think he'll arrive?" Cayden said, looking at Cedric who broke out of his thoughts and looked down at him.

"Probably tomorrow." Cedric said, shrugging, wrapping his arm around Cayden's shoulders. "You should stop blaming yourself, Cayden." He said, kissing his boyfriend's cheek.

"Don't you?" Cayden asked, looking up at Cedric who shook his head.

"No." Cedric said, smiling. "You didn't do anything, Cade." He said. "It's my father's choice to speak out about Voldemort."

Cayden nods, looking away from Cedric. He still feels guilty for making Amos lose his job. Though, if he hadn't given Cedric his ring, Cedric would've died in that graveyard.

"Hey." Cedric said, suddenly stopping them from walking, gaining Cayden's attention who looked up at him. "Look who's here." He said, turning his head to look at the approaching Bulgarian.

Cayden turns his head, his confused frown turning into a smile when he sees Viktor walking towards them. He moves out of Cedric's arm and wraps his arms around Viktor, who wraps his arms around him.

Cayden pulls away, letting Cedric hug Viktor. "You knew about this, didn't you?" He asked, looking at Cedric who pulls away from Viktor and smiles at Cayden.

"Maybe." Cedric said, shrugging. "But who knows, right?"

Viktor chuckles, shaking his head softly. "Looks like I came at the right time." He said in a Bulgarian accent. Though it seems like he has been studying English, seeing as he's speaking quickly rather than slowly like last year when he's carefully looking for words to say.

"You did." Cedric said, jerking his head behind him. "C'mon, you must be hungry."

Viktor nods, walking on the other side of Cayden as they begin walking towards the Great Hall. As soon as he entered the Great Hall, he was instantly met with shocked and amazed expression. He walks towards the Hufflepuff table, following his boyfriends.

Viktor sat himself down next to Cayden, while Cedric sat next on the other side of Cayden. Elias and Malia are sitting in front of them, looking at Viktor with confusion on their faces. Viktor looks at the Tall Table, nodding to the Headmaster who raised his cup in greeting.

"How did this happen?" Elias asked, looking at Cayden and Cedric for an answer.

"Are you staying at Hogwarts?" Malia asked, looking at Viktor.

"Only for this year, unfortunately." Viktor answered, turning to look at Elias. "My parents thought it was a good idea for me to stay close with Cayden and Cedric." He said, looking at his boyfriends who are eating their food while still listening to him. "And then I got Dumbledore's permission." He said, turning away from his boyfriends. "And here I am."

Elias and Malia nod, eating their food again.

Viktor ignores all the looks he's getting and begins eating as well, humming at the feeling of his empty stomach being filled with food.

Cayden has his head on Viktor's chest, fast asleep, Viktor is sleeping on his bed with his arm around him while Cedric is sleeping in his own bed. He starts dreaming again, already knowing that Harry is having the same thing.

They stroll along the darkened corridor, passing the many grey doors. There is only one door that interests them. It lies at the end of the long hall, pure white light shining through the gap between the door and the jam.

They moved towards it, bathed in shining light. They reach out their hand and grasp the handle. It is locked. They shake the handle and hit the door.

Cayden's eyes snap open, looking up at Viktor who is still asleep peacefully. He placed his head back down on Viktor's chest, going back to sleep.

Hermione opens her edition of the Daily Prophet and sits up in alarm. "I cannot believe it!"

Cayden, Harry, Ron, Cedric and Viktor glance at her in question.

Hermione slaps the paper down on the table.

Ron leans forward and looks at the Daily Prophet. "Ministry Passes Educational Decree Number Twenty-Three: Dolores Umbridge Appointed Hogwarts High Inquisitor?" He looks at them. "What's that mean?"

"A high inquisitor has the power to inspect all of the teachers." Viktor said.

"You're kidding!" Cayden and Harry said.

"That's not all. The High Inquisitor also has the power to sack teachers as well." Hermione said.

Fred and George march by.

"So, seen the news have you?" Fred asked.

"Personally, I envy you four." George said.

"Why's that?" Ron questioned.

"Umbridge is inspecting McGonagall in your period. That old toad won't know what hit her." George said as he looks at Fred wistfully. "Oh, to be a youth again, to experience the innocent glee of watching Umbridge be destroyed by the greatest Head of Gryffindor this century."

"Well, we'll expect a full report after." Fred said.

"Complete with facial expressions." George said, walking off with Fred.

"Do they always do that?" Viktor asked, looking at them.

"Yes." Cayden said. "They do."

Professor Trelawney stands before her class. "Greetings my children. I sense even now that many of you have already made the transition into the beyond!"

Umbridge smiles, toad-like.

"Today we will be continuing our interpretation of prophetic dreams. Please divide into your groups and discuss your recent night time visions using the text as a guide."

Cayden opened his book, while listening to Professor Trelawney and Umbridge talking.

"And how long have you been at this post?" Umbridge asked.

"Near to sixteen years I have been the guide to young seers possessed of the Inner sight." Professor Trelawney said.

Umbridge makes a note. "I understand you are the descendent of the famous Seer Cassandra Trelawney?"

"I am." Professor Trelawney said.

"And you are the first since Cassandra to have the Second Sight?" Umbridge asked.

"These things tend to skip... several... generations." Professor Trelawney said.

"Of course." Umbridge said, making another note. "Now, if you would kindly make a prediction for me?"

Professor Trelawney looks at Cayden. "My dear boy, what do you see about her." She said. "As you were the only one to have reached the Inner Eye."

Cayden squints his eyes at Umbridge, who is waiting for his response with an already smug smile. Everyone is as well. "You're gonna be attacked by a herd of Centaur." He said, watching Umbridge's smile fall down at that. "Don't insult the Centaurs, and the Sight will happen." He said, blinking, looking down at his book again.

"Wonderful, dear boy." Professor Trelawney said. "What a Sight you have." She said, looking away from Cayden to look at Umbridge who is narrowing her eyes at the Hufflepuff.
