The discussion ended there and once all the Headmasters and Judges accepted Loki's idea, allowing the champions to walk back to their dorms.
"I don't know how this happened, but I wish the best of luck to the two of you.", Krum said with a smile patting Harry's shoulder as he left towards the ship in the Black Lake.
Fleur nodded like Krum did and turned to Loki before telling him, "I hope you don't take it easy just because you're going to be dead last. You were and always will be my competition and I won't forgive you if you take it easy on me."
"Haha~ I won't. Not even in your dreams." Loki said with a smile as Fleur left towards the carriages.
Left with Harry, Loki looked at the boy who looked tired and a little tense.
"Don't worry about it. Didn't you become a Beyonder recently? I'm sure you'll stay safe as long as you use your Beyonder powers." Loki said calmly to Harry.
Harry's eyes widened at Loki's sudden revelation of his secret but he didn't say much, instead, he just nodded and said, "Thank you."
"Good luck to you then, I hope you show those two other fools how strong our school is!"
Harry nodded with a smile, 'It feels nice to have someone who holds high expectations for me.'
'I should get back now, Hermione and Ron are probably still waiting for me and they're probably worried.'
Stepping into the Gryffindor Common Room, Harry was suddenly assaulted from all directions by a massive cheer.
"WWOOOOOHHOOOOOOOO!!!!!" The students all shouted with pride.
"Should've told us how you did it if you were going to do it Harry! How could you forget us!?" Fred and George joked while tugging on Harry's arms.
"But I didn't-"
They then lifted him into the air without care for his words and started to surf him over the crowd.
Out of the corner of his eye, Harry saw Ron look at him with a scowl and walk away into their bedroom.
Harry wanted to do nothing other than get out of his awkward position and run to catch his friend but he couldn't, everyone was so enthusiastic in talking and thanking him for bringing pride to the Gryfindors that he was left with no other option but to stay.
That was when he realised, 'Ah! Loki! He didn't think I'd done any of this, was that why it felt so relaxing to be around him?'
'Why can't these people just be more like him!?'
Slowly the common room emptied and long after it was only Hermione left with him.
"Did you put your name in the-"
"No! Hermione! I didn't! Why would I!? I don't have a death wish! For all I know, it could be you-know-who trying to do something to kill me once again!!" Harry ranted. He then stood up and shook his head, "I need to be alone for now Hermione. I'll talk to you tomorrow."
Hermione wanted to talk to Harry more, especially about Loki, but she ended up holding back her questions and allowed Harry to leave.
Entering the bedroom, Harry spotted Ron was already asleep so he just walked up to his bed and fell asleep, depressed after rolling his eyes.
Meanwhile, Loki entered the Sefirah Castle.
"The person who made me enter the Triwizard Tournament is a Death Eater."
"The person who made me enter the Triwizard Tournament is a Death Eater."
"The person who made me enter the Triwizard Tournament is a Death Eater."
…
"The person who made me enter the Triwizard Tournament is a Death Eater."
Loki opened his eyes and looked at the pendulum in his hand and-
'Tsk.'
-it was moving clockwise.
"So it's that guy disguising himself as Professor Moody?"
Loki exited the Sefirah Castle and pulled out the parchment he hadn't used in a long while, "So Professor Moody…who're you?"
Scanning the parchment map in front of him, Loki began to look for the Defense Against Dark Arts class, his eyes traced from class to class until he found the right one.
"So its you…Barty Crouch?"
"What?"
Loki instantly became confused.
"But I saw the two of them at the feast today. So the real Barty Crouch is in disguise as Moody while someone else is playing 'the' Barty Crouch?"
Loki frowned.
"Or do the two people have the same names?"
"I'll need to try using the map when the two of them are in the castle during an event."
With his small investigation done, Loki folded up the parchment and put it into his bag, after which he collapsed into the bed while reading Nicholas's book about ritualistic magic.
'I'll need a way to make those new spells for the competition…'
'But I don't think I'll be able to finish it anytime soon…'
'Nothing complicated at least.'
Waking up the next morning, Loki stepped into the common room and instantly became surprised.
"You! Wait here!" Draco said with a proud tone as he walked to Loki and stood in front of him with Crabbe and Goyle by his side.
"What happened Draco? I'm in no mood to entertain you. Especially when I haven't finished my potions homework."
Draco's eyebrows twitched but under the gaze of all the students in the common room, he reached inside his robe.
'Is he going to attack me?'
Loki made no movements but the common room grew silent, other students were already tightening their grip on their wands in case Draco tried to do something to Loki.
But under the surprised gazes of everyone, Draco pulled out a badge and pinned it to Loki's robes.
It said, "Potter sucks! Support the real Hogwarts Champion Loki!!!"
Everyone in the common room instantly became dumbfounded.
"What??" Loki asked the question on everyone's minds.
"I know we have our differences, and that we do not see eye to eye, but you have for the first time in my eyes brought pride to the Slytherin house. I hope you keep up doing things like this."
Loki looked around at all the other students to see if he was trapped in some sort of illusions, but seeing all the other students with their mouths hanging Loki looked at Draco and became a little stunned.
So he did the only right thing he could think of and-
SLAP
-slapped Draco.
Crabbe and Goyle instantly stepped up to punch Loki but Draco stopped them.
"What was that for?" Draco asked with a frown.
"I heard you feel pain in dreams." Loki said causing Draco to raise his eyebrow as if he was saying, "So?"
"I mean did that hurt?" Loki asked again and instantly caused Draco's eyebrows to start twitching wildly.
People all around the common room began laughing silently while holding their stomachs.
"I mean…if this isn't a dream then I have to say! You really have changed Draco! I mean I almost couldn't recognise you! What if you were impersonated by a few other students using the Polyjuice potion!?"
Loki listed a few other possibilities but then ended with, "So I think it is good I did that. Good for you Draco. Good that you changed! Welcome to the bright side."
And with a happy nod, Loki was off and for some reason, even after getting slapped, Draco had a wide smile on his face.
Except when Loki left the common room his smiling face turned into a frown.
'As if I'd fall for such an obvious trap.' Loki said looking at the badge that was on his chest. 'Now I need to figure out a way to get rid of this badge so that no one hears the celestial worthy of heaven and earth chant.'
