Cayden ran towards Harry, helping him up from the ground. "Are you alright?" He asked, wiping down the dirt on Harry's clothes.

"Bet you loved that, Potter! Saved by Weasley's neck, didn't you?" Draco said, making Cayden roll his eyes. "I've never seen a worse Keeper! Maybe we should add some more verses to our little song. About his filthy mother!"

George tries to leap at Draco, but is held back by Harry and Fred.

"And his pathetic loser of a fa--" Draco's words were cut off by Cayden who punched him hard, knocking him back onto his butt. Draco looks up at Cayden with surprise, eyes wide. Not expecting Cayden to do that.

"Enough, Malfoy." Cayden's words were sharp enough to cut diamonds, his eyes are narrowed on Malfoy. "You two as well." He hissed, snapping his head to Crabbe and Goyle who stopped on their feet.

The Gryffindors and Slytherins are quiet, having not expected Cayden to punch the blond, who is still looking up at Cayden with widened eyes.

Cayden looks up at the approaching footsteps of Professor McGonagall and Madam Hooch, backing away from Malfoy who is now in disbelief at losing his friendship with Cayden.

"What's happening?" Madam Hooch asked, looking at Cayden and Malfoy, who is still on the ground.

"Malfoy insulted the Weasleys, ma'am." Viktor said, standing next to Cayden while Cedric talks with Harry, Fred and George to calm them down.

Madam Hooch sighs, looking down at Malfoy.

Cayden turns around and walks towards the three with his boyfriend, turning to Harry who is glaring at Malfoy. "Don't give her the satisfaction, Harry." He said when he's close enough to his twin brother. "Umbridge is gonna ban you three from Quidditch if you beat him up." He said, looking at the Weasley's twins.

"And how do you know this?" Fred asked, taking a deep breath.

Cayden shrugs. "The Sight." He said. "I believe her, unlike some people."

Harry looks over Cayden's shoulder, catching sight of Umbridge looking at them with narrowed eyes. His face changed when he noticed the disappointed expression that she tried to hide, turning his head to look at Cayden who raised his eyebrows at him. He watches Cayden turn his head to look at Umbridge, and she instantly walks away.

Cayden stands still with his wand in his hands, looking at the assembled group that makes up The Silver Circle. "Glad to see all of you could find this place all right." He said, looking at Harry who strolls into the room, standing next to him.

"Hey, Cayden, what is all this stuff?" Neville asked.

Scattered around the room are many devices such as Dark Detectors and Sneakascopes.

"Defense Against the Dark Arts equipment." Cayden answered, used to the stuff around the room. "Hopefully we'll be able to get to all of it before the end of term." He said, looking at Harry and nod, giving him the lead.

"You need to understand something before we start, though. Defending yourself from the Dark Arts has less to do with magical ability and more to do with thinking fast and a lot of luck." Harry said. "We'll be doing Expelliarmus tonight, though hopefully we can move on to other things if we have time."

"Oh please. Professor Lockhart taught us that in second year." Zacharias said.

"He taught us nothing except to buy his books." Cayden said, rolling his eyes. "And he acts like a creep to the girl's students." He muttered, crossing his arms. "I'll teach you all Sustinendum and Praesidium in the next lesson." He said, looking at them who all seem satisfied by that.
