A/N: Do I need to say it again? *sigh* nothing is mine.

The tiny raven slowed as he entered the Entrance Hall and walked calmly into the Great Hall, scanning around to see who was there. There were only a few students in each house, McGonagall, Snape, and Flitwick. Good, it would be easy to get permission to use the spare classroom. He walked to the Hufflepuff table and sat down across from Cedric, who was reading the paper as he ate, the only one in his year up at this time. "Mind if I sit here?"

"Of course not. How'd you sleep?" he asked setting the paper aside as the boy began to dish his plate, noticing it was a very little amount, a piece of toast with a little marmalade and a tiny scoop of scrambled eggs and a slightly larger scoop of strawberries.

"Better than in a long time. So you believe me?"

"Of course. Last night was high stress, but I know you wouldn't do something like that. You were more anti-Tournament than anyone." He looked over the boy's outfit. "New clothes?"

He blushed. "In a sense." He cast a spell under the table to insure that nobody could over hear them. "Sorry to just cut to the chase, but do you want to sneak out today? Go to London?"

"What for? And how would we get there?"

"You can Apparate, as can Fleur and Viktor. I'll go Side-Along with Viktor."

"I'm assuming you have your reasoning, and I want it explained, but that can wait. What is the premise of the lie that you are thinking of? I need to know to play along."

"The 4 of us will be training or relaxing or getting to know each other, it doesn't really matter what, as long as the 4 of us are spending all day together and it's believable. I can get access to a spare room from McGonagall and I know some wards from talking with Bill Weasley this summer, so it should be no issue to keep people out. I sort of have a house-elf here at school and can say that he will bring us lunch in the room, so it should all work." Viktor sat next to him and Fleur sat next to Cedric. He extended the ward to let them in as well. "So are we game?"

"I'm in," Cedric said easily.

"As am I," Fleur said. "It will be an adventure." She sipped her tea. "While we are there, I will help you with the shopping though," she grinned at the younger teen as he groaned, causing the two older boys to laugh.

"I'm guessing we're going to take the passage behind the one-eyed witch?"

Harry nodded. "Old Honeyduke is used to me showing up randomly, he'll keep our secret, he always has in the past."

"Are there any specific plans for this trip?" Fleur asked curiously.

"We have to go to Gringotts at 230," Viktor said. "And we will be starting with a brief trip to Surrey."

"Your aunt and uncles?" Cedric looked at Harry who gave a stiff nod.

"Unfortunately that is required. You are welcome to join when we go to Gringotts, on the condition that you hear me out before you make judgments."

"Care to explain now?" Cedric asked flicking a piece of toast at the younger boy who returned the sentiment.

"When we get to Surrey we can. We need to head out before Dumbledore gets down here, or he will question me and it's easier to get what I want out of McGonagall. Less questions that way." He cancelled the charm and stood, Cedric following him as he walked to the teacher's table. "Professor?" Harry addressed his head of house.

"Yes, Mr. Potter, Mr. Diggory, what can I help you with?"

"We were wondering if we could use one of the empty classrooms on the third floor?"

"You know students are not supposed to use a classroom without specific professor supervision."

"But, Professor, we are going to train for the Tournament. I'm really nervous about it and the others said that they would try and help get me to at least a level higher than I am now. Is that alright?" he asked as innocently as he could, batting his long, dark eyelashes at her.

"And if I agree, you will still be expected to show up for meals."

"Can we just have one of the house elves bring us lunch if we promise to show up for dinner? I know Dobby will if I ask him," he gave her his best puppy dog eyes.

Unable to say no to those bright emerald orbs, she sighed. "Very well, but I expect you to be in the Great Hall in time for dinner."

He gave her a big smile. "Thank you, Professor, I really appreciate it," he turned back to the table and nodded to the other two who stood as well.

They were silently until they reached the third floor when Cedric finally lost it and chuckled. "Are you sure you're not really a snake? I can't believe how easily McGonagall gives into your I'm-so-innocent-you-just-have-to-love-me routine."

Harry grinned and shrugged. "It's a gift. Though I was almost sorted into Slytherin. I know something like that would never have worked on Snape, so with him it would have to be a more logical argument and catching him at a….less bastardy mood. Sprout I've never tried anything with, I don't know her as well. Flitwick is another easy one though. He loved my mum and, apparently, I've got her talent in that class, so it is easy to get him to work with me." He squealed as Viktor scooped him up and tossed him over his shoulder. "What are you doing?"

"I felt like it," he said simply as the other two laughed.

Harry huffed. "Fine." He was set back down as they entered a small, dusty classroom. He quickly warded it, remembering what Bill had said, before checking the map. "Okay, the coast is clear, we don't need the Cloak if we hurry."

The 4 teenagers snuck through the secret passageway and through the tunnel in silence. Cedric exited the tunnel first then lifted Harry out before Viktor climbed and both helped Fleur out. They closed it quietly and Harry dashed upstairs. "Papa!"

The 3 other teens followed quickly, anxious in Fleur and Viktor's cases, but amused in Cedric's. He'd seen the actions of the tiny teen before when they snuck into the candy shop. Viktor watched with an amused smirk as his little lover squealed as he was tossed into the air and caught again. "How have you been, my little one?" the large man asked. He was over six and a half feet tall, easily, muscular, with a rough appearance, and a rotund stomach. His whiskery face caused the tiny teen to giggle as he kissed him on the cheek.

"I'm good, Papa. These are my friends, Cedric Diggory, who you already know, Fleur Delacour, she goes to Beauxbaton, and Viktor Krum, he's going to be my dominant in the Dominance Bond we're doing this afternoon."

He looked at the Bulgarian boy critically. "And you care about my little one?"

"Very much, sir."

"And you know you will have to answer to me if you ever hurt him."

"I know, sir," he nodded. "But I never intend to hurt him. He will be treated as royalty as he deserves nothing less."

"Good." He turned back to the teen resting in his arms. "I have a new treat for you." He held up what looked like a red Sugar Quill.

The teen took it with a grin. "Strawberry!"

"Just for you, my little one." He kissed him again and sat him down. "Go have fun with your friends. I expect to see you this evening before you return to the castle. I will remain downstairs until you return, no matter how late it is, or when you contact me if you are not returning tonight."

"Yes, Papa." He was scooped up by his older lover who held him easily on his hip. "See you tonight," he called over his shoulder as they left the shop, Apparating away as soon as they were out of doors.
