Two weeks had passed since the incident in the Great Hall occurred, and the four champions were to go to the Quidditch pitch after dinner, as requested by Professor Dumbledore at breakfast.
Cedric and Ian sat down at the Hufflepuff table for lunch. He had Charms and Defence Against the Dark Arts this afternoon with the Slytherins and then the Ravenclaws.
"What's up mate? You look dreadful," Ian stated as they piled food onto their plates.
"Thanks, Ian. I didn't realize," replied Cedric sarcastically. "I've been so stressed about the third task. It's supposed to be the hardest one yet, which also means the most dangerous."
"Oh, so the nerves are finally catching up to him, I see," laughed Calvin as he sat down next to Cedric. "Don't worry mate, you'll do fine. Merlin's beard, you're tied for first place with Potter, so that means you'll probably win or get second place." He consoled.
"Thanks Cal, but I don't think I'll win. Maybe Krum will though."
"No way! Krum's got third place for both first and second tasks, if he gets first place he still won't beat you and Potter, his points won't add up."
"Yeah, but I've got a feeling that him and Karkaroff have a plan to derail me and Harry," accused Cedric before he gulfed down half of a tomato sandwich.
"Well, if they do, they won't be able to, you've got Harry Potter and Hermione Granger on your side. Krum and Karkaroff may be able to outsmart that Veela girl from Beauxbatons, but you've got the best of the best with you. You're guaranteed to win this tournament."
Cedric walked into the Charms classroom and waited with the other N.E.W.T. level students from Hufflepuff and Slytherin.
"Yo Diggory! Where's your badge?" Asked Cassius Warrington, a chaser on the Slytherin Quidditch team, who was one of Cedric's mates from before school.
"Cass, you know I don't support those, Harry's also a friend of mine, and I don't want him to be upset!" Complained Cedric.
"You might not wear them, but we will! Potter stinks!" He shouted as he turned to face the rest of the class, receiving a large cheer from the Hufflepuff and Slytherin students. Many of the students tapped their badge with their wand to transfigure it to say "Potter Stinks!"
"Alright, alright, settle down students!" Professor Flitwick ordered as he marched through the aisle-way to his podium. "Take your seats everyone!"
The students stopped shouting and sat down in their seats, waiting for the professor's instructions.
"Since you will all be taking your Charms N.E.W.T.S. next year, I will be teaching you non- verbal spells. Normally you would learn this in Defence Against the Dark Arts class, but I have talked with Professor Moody and he approved that I could cover some of the topic today, as he was planning to do it later in the next year. We'll start with a simple water conjuration charm. Nonverbal spells can be used with any enchantment, depending on the strength of a wizard. For example, you children may only be able to produce water nonverbally, but stronger wizards like Professor Dumbledore or myself can produce full patronuses or shield charms non- verbally," explained the Professor. "Let's begin," he said.
