The second task begins.
I had to row the boat all by myself, making my arms sore.
Sirius covered his ears with all my complaining, "You're very lucky.."
I grumbled and mumbled and finally arrived to the stands. ⠀
⠀ Weirdly, Professor Moody helped me on and pet Sirius.
I could hear him growl and quickly pushing me away. "Padds, calm down..! He was just petting you," He didn't stop growling.

"Thanks for helping us back there.."
"No problem, Cedric. We're friends after all." I noticed him talking to a girl before running to me, teasing her about something.
