Here's the third chapter as promised! Hope you like and I know Moody doesn't sound like Moody but bare with me.

Everything in this chapter belongs to J.K. Rowling

"Hermione, I thought we weren't going to tell anyone!" Harry yelled at his best friend in the kitchen. Hermione came out of the kitchen to see a steaming Harry with his fists clinched.

"Harry calm down it's just Ginny and she promised not to tell anyone." Hermione said. Harry didn't look too pleased with the answer. Hermione crossed her arms to show she wasn't afraid to put up a fight.

"You tell Ginny but you wouldn't tell Mrs. Weasley. Are you some sort of hypocrite?" Harry said.

"I'm not a hypocrite, Ginny's our friend too. She has the right to know." Hermione said. "I don't like keeping secrets from her." With that Hermione was done with the conversation and she walked away. Harry stood there before Mrs. Weasley set him to work on setting the table. Ron joined them by the time Harry finished setting the table probably to avoid to do any work. Mrs. Weasley brought the food out and breakfast began. Harry and Hermione didn't talk to each other in fact they ignored each other. Ron tried talking to them both but they wouldn't have it.

"So what are you three planning on doing today?" Mr. Weasley asked the trio.

"Nothing, since we already finished our school shopping." Ron answered for the other two.

"Good then you won't mind helping around the house. You'll be de-gnoming the garden have fun." Mrs. Weasley said as she finished her breakfast and got up from the table. As the trio finished their breakfast they headed out into the garden. They set to work on de-gnoming the garden with the help of Ginny, Fred, and George.

The weeks went by fast as the trio worked around the house and eventually began talking to each other again. Before they knew it they were on Platform 9 ¾ getting ready to board the train. Mrs. Weasley gave them each a hug and wished them luck. Harry, Ron, and Hermione boarded the train and went to go find an empty compartment. They found one at the end of the train.

"So about Moody, what are we going to do?" Ron asked. Harry shrugged.

"Haven't really thought about it, what do you think we should do Hermione?" Harry said. Hermione looked up from the book she was reading.

"You could try talking to him again without yelling at him." Hermione suggested. Harry nodded.

"That sounds too easy." Ron commented. Hermione sighed.

"It's supposed to all he's going to do is talk to the man. It shouldn't be that hard." Hermione stated. Harry laughed. Then Moody appeared at the door of the compartment. He cleared his throat.

"Good morning, mind if I sit down there's no other compartments." He said motioning to the seat beside Hermione. Ron and Harry exchanged a nervous glance.

"Yeah go ahead, Professor." Hermione said scooting over a bit. Moody sat down beside her. Tension filled the room. Harry and the others were silent as they watched Moody make himself comfortable. Ginny walked by the door and giggled. Ron told her to bugger off. Hermione went back to her book and Harry and Ron played a Muggle card game.

"So has everyone had a good summer?" Moody said just to fill the air.

"It's been great except for de-gnoming the garden I think one of them bit me." Ron answered. Harry laughed.

"That wasn't a gnome that was Fred and George." Harry said. Ron looked displeased.

"Yeah, figures it's something my brothers would do." Ron said. Hermione looked up from her book.

"How has yours been, Professor?" she asked. Moody looked as if he didn't expect the conversation to go that way.

"Well I, you know, did stuff." He answered. Hermione wasn't pleased.

"What kind of stuff?" Ron asked. The trio was now staring him down and as any person in that position he didn't like it.

"Well keeping a look-out for Death Eater activity, talking with Dumbledore and the other professor, catching up with some old friends stuff like that, nothing really exciting compared to your summers. I heard you guys went to the Quidditch World Cup also heard that some nasty Death Eaters showed up." Moody said nonchalantly.

"Really how'd you hear about that?" Ron asked. Moody looked uncomfortable.

"Well contrary to popular belief I do keep tabs on my godson. Arthur, your father Weasley, told me, said that you guys saw a guy when all that was left was carnage. Mind telling me what he looked like." Moody said. Harry was actually happy to hear this. It meant he was entirely abandoned.

"Don't know it was dark, I couldn't see his face." Harry responded. Moody nodded like he understood. The rest of the train ride was just small talk and catching up on a few things. Harry was relatively happy the rest of the train ride even though his questions were still pulling at his mind. He didn't say anything about the questions though. He probably should have but not while Ron and Hermione were around.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione were eating dinner when Dumbledore made his normal speech.

"Good evening, students now that the sorting is out of the way I shall get to the announcements. First of all Hogwarts has the pleasure of host the Triwizard Tournament this year. Now I would like you all to meet the visiting schools." At this the doors opened and a dozen girls came flooding in followed by and very tall woman. "The lovely ladies of Beauxbatons and the fine gentleman of Durmstrang." At Durmstrang at least a dozen boys came in beating sparking staffs on the ground followed by the very famous Viktor Krum and his professor, a very tall man with a beard that could give Dumbledore a run for his money. Each professor gave Dumbledore their hello then went to sit at the teachers table. "Now while they are here I expect you to be on your best behavior and act like a host school should." Just then Filch and a few others brought in a big chest of some sort of chest they set in the front of the Great Hall next to Dumbledore. Dumbledore gave a few more words about the Triwizard Tournament before he revealed what was in the chest. It revealed a goblet with blue fire coming out of it, the Goblet of Fire. "Barty would you like to take over from here?" Dumbledore stepped away from the front of the Great Hall and let Barty Crouch from the Ministry of Magic take the floor.

"Good evening students due to some past events in the Triwizard Tournament you may only out your name in the Goblet of Fire if you are no younger than 17." Mr. Crouch said. At this the entire Great Hall burst in outrage. Dumbledore calmed them down and urged Mr. Crouch to go on. "The Ministry would like to inform you all that the Triwizard Tournament is dangerous and deadly event where if you are not very skilled in magic you will suffer the consequences. So unless you are serious about this do not put your name in the Goblet. Dumbledore you can back over." With that Barty Crouch stepped away from the front of the Great Hall and let Dumbledore take the floor again.

"Thank you, Barty for those kind words. A warning, students, there is a difference between courage and stupidity. Now off to your house, pip-pip." Dumbledore said as the students stood up to leave. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were a few of the last students to leave the Great Hall. Ron and Harry stayed up until midnight talking about the Triwizard Tournament.

The next morning was the first DADA lesson with Professor Moody and to be honest no student in all of Hogwarts was very excited to be taught by him after all his nickname was Mad-Eye Moody. The first lesson was something all the students would remember for a long time. Definitely something Harry would remember for a long time because a new secret was let out.

Hope you guys liked it! Please review they're always appreciated! I promised to get chapter 4 up as soon as possible!
