To say that Harry's mind was preoccupied by Cedric Diggory is an understatement. He thought about Mr. Popular every friggin day! So to say the least, Harry was glad to finally be distracted when it was the time to leave the Burrow for Hogwarts.

Harry was standing together with his two best friends at Platform nine-and-three-quarters, saying their goodbyes to Charlie, Bill and Mrs. Weasley.

"Now, you lot stay out of trouble ok" Mrs. Weasley reminded the trio, while giving each other a hug.

"Thank you Mrs. Weasley. Thanks for everything" Harry hugged Mrs. Weasley back, thankful that even though he do not have a mother, Mrs. Weasley was there to fill the gap.

"My pleasure dear. I'd like to invite you for Christmas, but I thought you'd like to stay at Hogwarts. Well, with everything that's going to happen…" Mrs. Weasley said cryptically.

"How I wished I could go back to Hogwarts." Bill said sighing

"Why?" Fred asked

"You're going to have an interesting year this year."

"and why is that?" George asked.

"uh-uh. Little brother, that I can't tell you" Bill said.

"Come-on Bill! Bugger… Tell us!" Ginny said.

"Patience little sister. You'll all find out soon enough." Bill said.

"Well, Goodbye Charlie, Bill , I thought the Weasley's were cool but I never thought they'd be cooler" sad Harry clapping Charlie's shoulder and nodding on Bill's direction, even though how interesting what is happening Harry knew they're fighting a lost battle, so instead of joining the insisting, he just wanted to tell everyone goodbye and thanked them.

"Never say goodbye Potter, we might see each other again this year. In fact, you might see me sooner than you think" Charlie exclaimed winking at Harry.

"What was that supposed to mean?" Ron asked.

"Never, you mind…Ok guys, have a nice term. Come on, the train is almost leaving. Now Ronald, don't forget to write to me okay. Take care of Ginny" Mrs. Weasley yelled, as the trio entered the train.

"No, no! You need to tell us!" Ginny is growing impatiently.

"Tell us!" Ron, Fred and George all shouted.

Just then, the train's steam blew, making everyone run for the train.

Once inside, the group started to divide. Fred and George going who knows where; Ginny going with her friends; and the Golden trio started to look for a compartment.

They've found one with Neville sitting alone. "Hey Neville, can we sit here?" Hermione asked. "Of course" Neville happily replied.

The group went immediately with talking about the world cup, when they've heard Malfoy from the other compartment discussing about other magical schools.

"There are other schools?" Harry asked. This earned him a lecture on Wizarding schools from Hermione. After a few discussion, Ron swept the discussion again back on the World Cup.

"Krum is really, really good!" Ron, for the 20th time said that.

"God Weasley, if I ever hear that again, I'm gonna vomit!" A cold voice was heard then the compartment door burst open. Draco Malfoy was smirking at the group. On each side of him were Crabbe and Goyle.

"Krum is really, really good… Vomit now!" Ron said sarcastically, which made Harry laugh.

"Oh! You think that's funny eh Potter? Just wait, soon we're going to see your face with the vermins. So, I bet you're going to join it huh…seeing as you have a potentially potent attraction with the spotlight."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Ron asked, starting to get angry.

"What?! You don't know! You've got 2 Ministry brothers and a father at the ministry and You don't know?! Father told me about it in ages, he heard from Cornelius Fudge himself. Well, I guess your father wouldn't know, since he's around with scumbags all the time… Come to think of it even your father is a scumbag." Malfoy smirked.

Ron stood up, thoroughly angry and red on the face. Hermione quickly hold him still. Harrry wished Hermione wouldn't stop Ron, Harry himself is getting angry with this git and he's calling on all his physical restraint.

"Better shut your mouth Malfoy" Hermione said.

"Oh really" Malfoy then turned on Hermione, "I'm not talking to you mudblood"

Harry immediately went up. "Get out here Malfoy, you git, if you know what's good for you"

"oohhh…If it's not Potter, then who its gonna be? Why Potter, standing up for weasel and mudblood? I get it though, seeing as you don't have a family, that you'd go for anything, even the lowly-weasels… Look at their mother that good for nothing, dirty, cheap, bas-" Malfoy flew backwards as Harry's spell hit him squarely in the chest. Malfoy went unconscious.

Each compartment burst open trying to see what was going on. Harry was really, really furious. He couldn't let Malfoy trashed Mrs. Weasley like that, or any Weasleys or even Hermione for that matter.

Everyone was shocked to see Malfoy, unconscious and on the floor and to see Harry with wand in hand arms still raised.

"What's this?" a velvety voice was coming through the crowd. "Excuse me I'm a prefect! What the hell-who did this?" Cedric Diggory said, looking at the unconscious Malfoy and Harry.

"I did" Harry replied, still too furious and barely containing his anger.

"And why did you do that Potter?" Cedric asked voice stern.

"He deserved it" Harry replied, with nothing but pure fury on his face.

"All right five points from Gryffindor. Everyone get out of here, somebody bring Malfoy to his compartment. Potter, lower your wand." Cedric replied.

"I don't want to" Harry was stubbornly furious with the outcome of this scene. He just protected his loved ones, and this is what he gets? So he didn't care whoever tells him to stop, because he doesn't want to, even if it is Cedric Diggory.

"I won't tell you again Potter" Cedric said, voice full of authority. "Expelliarmus!" Cedric shouted. Harry's wand flew unwillingly, and dropped on Cedric's hands. "Another five points from being a git Potter!"

"Oh yeah! Who's the git here, Mr. Prefect!? You don't even know what happened here, and you just assumed judgment?! What are you having some kind of Power trip?!" Harry was shouting which drew further attention.

Cedric remained calm, "Whatever it is that Malfoy said, I don't care, no effing curses on the train. Two points from Gryffindor… and don't tempt me Potter to make it ten!"

Harry was about to shout at Cedric again, but he was nudged at the ribs by Hermione. He remained quiet.

"I will sure report this to the professors for further sanctions. Get outta here Potter! Everyone back to business!" Cedric remained outside while Harry entered the compartment. He heard Harry saying That stupid, Perfect prefect think he's so cool and all that… I promised I'm gona… Arggghhh! In loud voices.
