Cedric nodded encouragingly. "Yeah! And he really cares about people too. For the second task, we had to dive below the lake and rescue the person we cared about most from the merpeople, who were holding them hostage. I was rescuing my girlfriend, Krum had his, and Fleur was rescuing her little sister. Harry had Ron Weasley, his best mate."

Ah, the lake. It had been rather unnerving to be down there. "Harry reached the hostages before any of us. Fleur was attacked and never made it down there, but I got there next. I waited for a moment---he had Ron, he should've been coming with us, but he stayed behind. I reached the surface first, Krum was a while behind me, and we waited and waited for Harry. The time limit had passed quite a while ago, and we were worried about him."

He grinned. "But we shouldn't have been. Turns out he was late because he stayed behind to rescue Fleur's sister too. The merpeople fought him twice as hard, and of course it takes longer to drag two people up. I wish I would've helped him. But he placed second that round, his 'outstanding moral fiber' compensating for breaking the time limit, and we were tied heading into the third task."

This next explanation was short. "The third task was a maze filled with magical dangers, with the Triwizard Cup somewhere inside for us to find. We were all split up for most of it, but when we met Harry saved me from Krum's torture. Then we fought a giant spider together, and he got hurt. His leg was really bad. We argued for a bit about who should take the Cup, and then I helped him over to it. If not for You Know Who and the Death Eater who turned the tournament into a mad plot to catch Harry and resurrect the most evil wizard of our times, it would've been a great ending."

It was hard not to sound slightly bitter about that, but he knew dwelling there would do no good. Sirius wanted to hear about the things that kept Harry happy. "So. Quidditch?"
