Cedric huddled around the group of boys as they went in one by one, putting their names in the goblet of fire.
"Alright Ced, you're up!" Shouted Ian as he returned from the goblet. Ian gave him a pat on the back, and Cedric ran past the age line and dropped his name into the bright blue flames. The students around him started to cheer and he watched as Ron Weasley tried to give him a wave, but before he could wave back, he was pulled out of the Great Hall and into the Courtyard, where the cheering continued. The noise grew even louder as a group of Bulgarian teens marched from the Great Hall, surrounding Viktor Krum, who had also seemingly put his name in the goblet. As he walked by Cedric, he nodded his head viciously with a grunt. Cedric gulped and returned to the celebration around him.
For the rest of the week, students both successfully and unsuccessful tried putting their names into the goblet of fire. Cedric watched as several students from Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang grew long white beards and ran to the hospital wing, as the rest of the students laughed so hard they cried.
"Cedric, were supposed to be in defence against the dark arts in five minutes! Let's go!" Shouted Ian as he ran down the hall. Cedric was confused as to why Ian was running, but soon remembered that Professor Moody's class was all the way across the castle, in the east wing. Cedric grabbed his bag and sped after the boy hurriedly.
"If you must know, Hemsworth, Professor Dumbledore chose me to be your teacher because I know what's out there. I've fought real evil, and he wants me to prepare you for when you have to. Do you understand?" Said the voice of Mad-Eye Moody as Cedric and Ian rushed into class.
"Diggory, Somerset, I see you decided to join us. Take a seat. Ten points from Hufflepuff for disorganization and tardiness. If you're even one second too late in battle, you're a dead man. So, I suggest you get here on time next time. Next person to be late to my class will lose a lot more than 5 points for their house, they'll lose all their Hogsmede weekends, and will be spending them in Owlry, cleaning up after the birds!"
The students paled and Professor Moody continued his lesson as Cedric and Ian took their seats in the back of the class.
"That was bloody amazing! Best defence teacher so far!" Ian jumped as the two boys exited the classroom.
"Alright Ian, if you say so. He's a little creepy if yo-" Cedric stopped mid sentence when he saw his girlfriend. "'Mione!" He shouted as she ran towards him. Students around them stared as they smiled at each other and hugged. "How was Potions?"
"Dreadful, as always," she sighed. "How was Defence, I heard Mad-Eye Moody is well, mad!" She laughed at her own joke and Cedric gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Oh he's mad alright! But honestly Hermione, it wasn't that bad, he just taught us about blocking curses today, I'm sure he'll get way more into detail later."
