Out of The Shadows (Golden Trio Era) {1}

Moody's the Man

"There's Cedric!" Mikayla pointed out her dreamy boyfriend, Harry informed her that last night he discovered the first task would be dragons. Mikayla guilted him about telling Cedric, knowing that Fleur and Viktor already knew. Mikayla pushes a bunch of Slytherins out of her way, whilst they tried to flash their badges, Mikayla grabbed one out of someone's hand, taking out her wand, "combustum omnis quando commutatio" Mikayla threw the badge away. "What did you just do?" Harry questioned Mikayla looked as though she had no idea what he was talking about. "Hey Ced." Mikayla smiled giving him a peck on the lips hello, Rickett goes to press his badge Mikayla tried to stop him but it was too late, soon there was a hole in his uniform where the badge sat and a scorch mark on his skin. "Ouch, WHAT TH-" Rickett was cut off by some of Cedric's other friends yelling in pain. "Sorry, didn't think it would work that well." Harry asked to talk to Cedric whilst Mikayla explained what happened to her boyfriend's friends. "I placed a jinx on them to scorch whoever made it change." Mikayla told them, they didn't look happy at all. "Cedric should know better where your loyalty lies." Summerby spat, Mikayla whipped her cheek. "My loyalty is with all the champions, these tasks are going to hard to survive, never mind win. If you want to show Cedric support do it in a more classy way, he hates those badges, told me himself." Mikayla walked away joining the two boys. "Meet me at the lake after curfew tonight?" Cedric asked Mikayla as Harry walks away, "Sure, you may want to have a conversation with your friends about me. I don't think they like the fact that I'm not taking sides and they said you should know better than date me, which I think they mi-" Cedric cut Mikayla off from saying something stupid, by connecting their lips, Mikayla wrapped her arms around Cedric's neck melting into his body. Mikayla heard whistles just as they broke apart. "Straight after curfew?" Mikayla questioned, blushing insanely, Cedric nods giving her a peck. Mikayla rushes over to Harry who had advanced on Draco.

"Why so tense, Potter?" Mikayla heard Malfoy sneer,  "Shove off, Malfoy." She spat back, she watched as Draco dropped from the tree, he was sitting in. He slowly stalked up to her,  "Oh, does Potter have a girlfriend now? How did Diggory take it, Black? I suppose he knew what he was in for going after the Gryffindor Whore." Mikayla stepped towards him again, "Cedric and I are happily dating, not that it's any of your business. But if I ever hear you call me that foul name again, I'll make it my mission to make your life a living hell." Her words filled with venom. Draco gulped taking a cautious step back, looking at Harry menacingly after he pulled Mikayla away from the Slytherin. "Do you really cry at night too, Potter?" Draco laughed, Mikayla clenched her fists and was ready to hit him, but Harry grabbed her wrist, preventing her from doing what she desired to do. "Well, my father and I have a bet, you see. I don't think you're gonna last 10 minutes in this tournament. He disagrees. He thinks you wont last five." He chuckled at his own joke. Harry let go of Mikayla's wrist and charged towards Draco. "I don't give a damn what your father thinks, Malfoy." Harry shoved him. Mikayla's eyes widened at his new-found aggression. "He's vile and cruel. And you're just pathetic." Harry spat in his face. Harry started to walk back towards Mikayla but then Draco pulled out his wand.  "Harry-" she started to call out, but was interrupted by a golden stream of light shooting past her face and hitting Malfoy.

When she looked back at him, all that was there was a blonde ferret sitting on the ground. Her mouth hung open in shock. "I'll teach you to curse someone when their back is turned!" Mad-Eye Moody came by hobbling fast, his wand pointed at Draco. "You stinking... cowardly... scummy.. back-shooting..." Moody was using his wand to swing Draco up and down, he-it-uh... squeaked uncomfortably. Mikayla and Harry couldn't help but laugh at the Professor's actions. "Professor Moody!" McGonagall ran towards them with her long robes hiked up into her hands so she wouldn't trip. "Wh-what are you doing?" She asked, stopping where she stood, watching the ferret questioningly. "Teaching." "Is that a -? Is that a student?" she was baffled, not believing what was happening. "Technically, it's a ferret." He said, keeping his eyes on the small blonde animal. He turned to Crabbe and dumped the ferret down his pants. Crabbe screamed, a group of people gathered to watch, Harry and Mikayla were clutching their sides, struggling to breathe. "Stand still! Stand still!" Goyle stuffed his hand how Crabbe's pants to get Draco-er-the ferret- out, but took his hand back immediately when he got bit. Mad-Eye winked at Mikayla and Harry, seeing the joy in their faces as they watched him punish Malfoy.

It was such a great day now. Draco crawled out of Crabbe's pant leg and McGonagall immediately transfigured Draco back into a human. He jumped up off of the ground, his hair was matted and his face was covered in dirt. He seemed disoriented. It wasn't as funny now that McGonagall was involved. Draco turned around and gasped at the sight of Mad-Eye, he backed up. "My father will hear about this!" He yelled, Moody ran towards him. "Is that a threat?" He asked, chasing him. "Professor Moody!" McGonagall called, her wand up. "Is that a threat?" He repeated, angrier, he chased Draco around a tree. "Professor!" She tried to get his attention. "I could tell you stories about your father that would curl even your greasy hair, boy!" He shouted as Draco ran away.  "Alastor!" McGonagall was fed up and angry. "It doesn't end here!" He yelled once again. "Alastor. We never use transfiguration as a punishment! Surely Dumbledore told you that." She scolded him. He looked down embarrassed. "He might have mentioned it." He mumbled. Her wand pointed at his face. "Well, you will do well to remember it." She spoke without hesitation. "Away!" She dispersed a group of student that were watching, Harry and Mikayla were the only people remaining. Alastor made a mocking face at McGonagall then turned around and began to walk away.  "You. Come with me." He pointed at Harry. "You. Go read or something." He said towards Mikayla, Harry waved goodbye and followed him into the castle.
