It had been a trying year that was almost over. Dudley had been seeing Lorn for several months and they were extremely close. The Triwizard tournament was coming to a close, and not many people would be sorry to see the other schools leave, and things returning to "normal".
It was an extremely difficult day for Dudley. He had been sick and had to miss a couple days of classes, so he had even more work to make up, especially with the first three years he had missed. With all of that work he had completely forgotten Lorn's birthday, and because of that, she wasn't speaking to him at the time. He was also late to Potions, a class he did not look forward to. In his rush, he ran straight into Harry, scattering his books everywhere. He hadn't been face to face with Harry for a while and he wasn't particularly thrilled to see him.
"Why don't you watch where you're going," Dudley said aggravated and trying to pick up his books.
"You're the one who ran into me," Harry replied, not sounding thrilled to see him either.
"Whatever you say oh great one." Dudley said sarcastically.
"And what is that supposed to mean?" Harry asked perturbed.
"Nothing, glory-snatcher." Dudley said grabbing his last book.
"What in the bloody hell is that about?" Harry asked.
"Think about it Harry. You're the great Harry Potter, the boy who lived. Yet you have to go and steal Cedric's glory and become the other school champion." Dudley said with disgust. Harry was so tired of people telling him that. He knocked the books right out of Dudley's hands.
"Dammit Harry. I'm already late. Stupid attention hog!" Dudley said pushing Harry.
"You would know all about that, with you sucking up to Cedric and trying to be his best buddy." Harry said sneering. With that, Dudley punched him square in the jaw. Harry threw a punch striking him in the stomach. Dudley gave him a bloody nose with a punch, and they went on exchanging blows until Professor Flitwick happened down the hall and caught the two of them, prying them apart with a spell from his wand.
"This isn't over Potter!" Dudley spat.
"Anytime!" Harry shot back.
Dudley sat in Professor Flitwick's office cooling down.
"This is so un-like you Dudley," Professor Flitwick said shaking his head.
"I know Professor. I'm sorry." Dudley said looking down at his feet.
"I have to take 5 points from each of your houses, but if you promise this won't happen again I won't give you detention." Flitwick said smiling. Dudley was one of his best students. He knew there was a lot of stress at the ending of the year and he was confident Dudley was by all means not a trouble maker.
"I promise, no more fights." Dudley said.
"Then you can go." Flitwick said. Dudley got up and made his way to the door. "And try to avoid Harry Potter please." Dudley nodded and left.
