[Thoughts]

Information

The next morning Harry woke up. He laid there for a few minutes thinking about what happened the day before. He stood, took a shower, got dressed, and went to go find his friends. Before he left Albus asked him to pass along a message to Cedric.

He found them about to enter the Great Hall and he quickly caught their attention. They made their way over to him.

"Harry what happened? We were so worried when we didn't see you after you left yesterday." Hermione said in worry.

"I will tell you in the kitchen." Harry said.

"You know where the kitchens are?" Cedric whispered in shock.

"Yeah."

They followed Harry to the kitchens. Cedric watched amazed as he stopped near the Hufflepuff dormitory. They were in front of the portrait of the bowl of fruit. He watched as Harry placed a hand on the pear and tickled it. It wiggled and laughed before the portrait opened and revealed the kitchen.

Dobby saw Harry and made his way over. "Mr. Harry Potter sir, what is Dobby doing for you and yous friends?"

"Can we have some breakfast, Dobby?" He asked.

"Yes sir."

Soon a table with food appeared and they all sat down. Once their plates were filled did Harry tell them what had happened. It still hurt to know that his parents didn't want him. They hated him and all because he was fussy with them.

"Oh Harry." Hermione cried as she gave him a hug. [Those bastards! How dare they do that to Harry. They are going to pay.]

Ron patted his shoulder in comfort. [Those two are the most inconsiderate pricks on the planet. I am so going to set Mione and Ginny on them. Hell I am setting the twins and mum on them.]

Cedric gave Harry a comforting smile. He couldn't believe anyone could actually do that to a child. He remembered what happened last year with the dementors. He had heard Harry talking to Ron and Hermione in the hospital wing. All this time he thought he was seeing their deaths but now he knows it was his grandparents' death. He couldn't wait to get his hands on them.

"Don't believe what those arseholes said for one second Harry." Hermione said. "They don't deserve you so don't let it bother you."

"I will try. Anyway Sirius will be declared innocent and while he is in the hospital recovering I will be staying with Albus since he is my magical guardian right now." Harry said.

"So in other words you are going to spend the summer getting spoiled." Ron said with a smile.

"Yup!"

"Good. It is about time." He said.

"Oh and Albus said that since we both won the money is going to both of us. We each are getting one thousand galleons." He told Cedric.

"I thought they would have split it." The seventh year said.

"They were going to but Albus glared at them." That caused them all to laugh. "We have to go to his office to get it. Then we finish our exams and we are finished for the rest of the day."

"Okay."

They finished eating before they left. Ron and Hermione went to the tower to get Harry's things while Cedric and Harry went to the office. It was filled with reporters, the headmaster, ministry employees, the minister, and Cedric's parents.

They sat down in the last two seats available. Fawkes quickly flew to Harry and just like Hedwig he began to groom him. Harry rolled his eyes and smiled. Harry stared at the ministry officials expectantly.

"Since we have double winners we are giving both of you one thousand galleons." One of the officials said before he gave them each a bag filled with their winnings.

Harry turned to the reporters then to his headmaster. They watched as the headmaster shook his head causing Harry to pout. That confused them greatly. It only grew when Harry pointed to Cedric gaining another shake of the head and Harry's pout to deepen.

"Now the reporters are here to interview you for the paper." Albus said.

"You mean take everything I say and twist it to make me look like a bad guy, turn into an illegal animagus and spy on me and my friends and then make up ridiculous things and twist other things to make me look like a bad guy and get more readers." Harry said as he glared at Skeeter.

"Illegal animagus?" The minister asked, causing Harry to look at him.

Harry and Hermione planned this after she wrote that horrible article about Hagrid. They acted like they didn't see her and would then let someone at the ministry know. It was a heavy fine as well as jail time.

"Yup. Rita Skeeter's animagus is a beetle. Hermione noticed that a beetle seemed to follow us and it always had the same looks so she assumed it was the same beetle. Hermione figured it was an animagus and had looked at the registry but there was no beetle animagus." Harry said.

"How did she know that she was a beetle?" Cedric asked, confused.

"Hermione was on her way to meet Viktor Krum at Hogsmeade when she caught that beetle changing to Skeeter." He answered.

"Oh."

"Yeah and then ran an article about Hermione being a fame seeking whore." Harry stated as he glared at the blond.

"Language." Albus said as he too glared at the women he had forbidden from the castle after she started writing those articles.

"Have her arrested. Not only was she an illegal animagus but she also trespassed and we will charge her for more later." She went to run only to find herself stunned by a smirking headmaster.

An official went to the fire and flooed out before returning with an auror. She was arrested and taken away.

"Now these reporters will take pictures of you both and then you can go to your classes. Thanks to Albus they know what happened during the tournament." The minister said.

Harry groaned as he stood up and posed next to Cedric. He smirked and changed his shirt just as the flash went off. His shirt was hufflepuff yellow. It had a black arrow pointing at Cedric and underneath the arrow in black lettering it said "The Hogwarts Champion and winner Cedric Diggory."

He switched it back afterwards. Albus snickered at his young charge. Only Harry would pull that trick.

"Alright kids go take your exams." The two students nodded and left.

"Go back to the ministry." The minister ordered and the officials left.

"We will give you a copy of the article so that you can approve it, minister." One of the reporters said before they all left.

The minister turned to look at Albus. "We arrested the death eater that put Harry's name in the cup. Barty Crouch Jr. kidnapped Alastor Moody and kept him in a trunk so that he could use his hair for polyjuice potion."

"Please tell me that he wasn't here teaching my students." Begged Albus.

"I'm sorry Albus but I can't. He is being interrogated by madam Bones as we speak." He said, feeling for the man.

"Dammit. I am going to need a few master wardens to help me strengthen the school wards." It would be the only reason the wards didn't inform him.

"I will send them over myself." He said.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." He left and Albus dropped his head down on his desk. He couldn't believe he let a death eater near his students, especially Harry and Neville.

Meanwhile Cedric went to his classes and Harry went to his. He was thankful that Hermione helped him study when he wasn't trying to survive the tournament. If she didn't then he would have failed.

Finally the day was over and so were all the exams. The students were now enjoying a feast before they went to bed. Some were already packed while others were waiting till the last minute. The next day they would be leaving and for the first time in his life Harry wasn't going to the Dursleys.
