A/N This was a headcanon for Aaron Davis :) I hope you enjoy it :D

"Aaron! Wait up!"

Aaron turned around and saw Cedric running down the corridor towards him.

"Hi!" Aaron called back. He stopped and waited for Cedric.

"What are you so excited about?" he asked when Cedric got to him.

"I just put my name in the Goblet of Fire!" Cedric said excitedly.

"Really?" Aaron said. "You didn't tell me that you were going to submit your name!" Cedric had mentioned that he might when it was first announced, but Aaron had thought he was joking.

"Well, I wanted to surprise you!" Cedric said.

"Well, you certainly did that!" Aaron replied. "What if you get picked and then you get hurt?" Many people had been injured and even died in Triwizard Tournaments before, that's why they were stopped in the first place.

"Oh, I'll be fine. If I get to be the Hogwarts champion, then I'll try my absolute hardest to do well," Cedric said determinedly.

"You're sounding like a true badger there, Ced," Aaron said. They got to the end of the corridor where they had to split to go to different common rooms: Cedric to Hufflepuff and Aaron to Slytherin when Cedric stopped.

"Are you alright?" Aaron asked, turning to face him.

"Yeah," Cedric replied. "I just wanted to say, if I do get in, I'm going to try my absolute hardest to win. For you. You're my best friend." He hugged Aaron tight. "Okay, see you later," he said and walked away to his common room.
