"Have either of you ever taken the Sorting quiz?" Aurora asks, sifting through the kitchen cabinets.

"Of course I have," Callie says, offended that she'd ask such a question. "I got Hufflepuff."

"I though so," Aurora mumbles, looking to Carmen. "What about you, Caramel?"

Carmen smirks, closing the fridge. "I'm a Slytherin, what's yours?"

"GRYFFINDOR!" Aurora declares, nearly dropping the bag of sugar into her coffee. "Where dwell the brave at heart!"

Recovering from her sudden outburst, Callie smiles. "I don't find that surprising at all."

"Aurora! Carmen! Callie!" Daniel shouts from the living room. "The Goblet of Fire starts in thirty seconds!"

"We're coming!" Callie yells back, scooping up an armful of snacks before sprinting.

"THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!" Aurora cackles, grabbing a box of gummies and her coffee before sprinting as well.

Carmen follows after, screeching as she trips over Jonah's shoe and landing in Zach's lap.

"Caramel's crush makes his grand appearance in this movie," Aurora teases, dodging the piece of popcorn Carmen throws her way. "Careful, Heroin. You might have some serious competition."

Zach shrugs his shoulders. "I'll be the judge of that."

Silence falls over the group as the movie plays, their attention fully fixated on the TV screen. At the exact moment Cedric Diggity jumps down from a tree, Aurora frowns, the oddness of Zach's earlier statement hitting her.

"Heroin," she begins slowly. "How many times have you watched and/or read the Harry Potter series?"

"Zero. Why?" He asks, shifting closer to Carmen.

Aurora gasps, bringing Frederick closer to her chest. "You poor soul. I can't even stand to look at you right now."

"

Look!" Jack shouts, pointing at the Triwizard Tournament dragon appearing on the screen. "It's Aurora!"

"I'm only a dragon when you have the audacity to touch my Cheez-its," Aurora remarks, glaring at the boy.

Jack's smirk fades as he subconsciously rubs his bruised arm.

"Want to hear a joke?" Carmen questions with a mischievous glint in her eyes. Aurora nods immediately. "What do you call the Weasley Twins?"

Aurora grins, already knowing the answer. Callie, on the other hand, didn't.

"What?"

"The holy brothers."

Laughing, Aurora high-fives Carmen as Callie's eyes widen in horror.

"YOU DON'T MAKE THAT JOKE!" She screeches, nearly jumping from her seat.

I was unawere you don't like dark jokes," Aurora laughs.

Meanwhile, Jack groans and buries his head in a pillow. "You can't annoy us with both, dark jokes and bad puns."

"Is that a challenge?" Aurora narrows her eyes.

"Look!" Carmen yells, blocking out Jack's muffled reply. "It's Krum!"

Aurora turns at her words, seeing Zach's eyes widen as Viktor Krum makes an appearance.
