"So I remember, I remember when I first met you all. Biggest bunch of misfits I've ever set eyes on. Always reminded me of myself a little. And here we all are, four years later. Of course two years for you Kenny." 

Mackenzie and the golden trio along with Hagrid travelled through the forest they were once too scared to enter. Memories of Lupin's transformation hunted her thoughts, how he spent weeks out of the house on the holidays for the fear of hurting her. The jobs he'd lost yet not informed Moon. The bills that piled on the kitchen counter.

"We're still misfits." Ron chuckled while he stilled shivered from the cold wind that wiped through the forest. A blanket made of wool was shared between Ron and Moon's icy shoulders. Harry seemed to still have adrenaline racing through his veins from yesterday since he didn't take the two blankets Hargid had offered the four of them, Hermione got one to herself. 

"Maybe. But we've all got each other, and Harry of course. Soon to be! The youngest! Tri-Wizard champion there's ever been! Hooray!" The four of them cheered loudly echoing around the barren surroundings. Harry had disappeared from the group, however, Hagrid's singing distracted the fourth-year students. 

"Hogwarts, Hogwarts" Hagrid began to sing.

"Hoggy warty, Hogwarts," Hermione, Moon and Ron joined in all singing the song traditionally out of time. "Teach us something, please!" Harry comes to a stop when his head began to split with pain. He peers down at the lying figure in front of him. On the ground, he sees a lifeless Barty Crouch. 

"Mr Crouch."

Mackenzie wandered around the grounds in the morning sun, in the distance she spotted a bored-looking Astreria who was attempting to balance a pen on her nose. 

"Astreria!" The pen dropped from her face and she lost her time streak.

"Oh come on Moon, I've been doing this for three hours." Astreria flopped down onto the grass, dramatically rolling around on the ground. 

"Nevermind that, I need your help." The quirked eyebrows made Moon continue. "Neville asked me on a date." The once upset girl shot off the ground faster than ever before. She grabbed the blonde's hand and raced towards the castle dragging poor Moon behind her. Mackenzie was bombarded with questions, half she didn't know how to answer. Neville had found in the Gryffindor common room looking as tried as ever while reading one of Lupin's letters. The young girl had had a nightmare the previous night, which lead to hours of no sleep and reading Remmy's letters seem to calm down after a panic attack or traumatising experience. Neville had approached her and asked her if she minded joining him on a picnic lunch in the Hogwarts gardens. Moon was relieved to have something to take her mind of the end of year tests and upcoming third task. She'd seen the construction on the Quidditch field. Everyone was excited to see the big finale, though the same couldn't be said for the champions; could the last task be worst than almost, drowning or being burnt to a crisp.  

"Here," Astreria held up a white picnic dress. It had purple flowers embroidered into the neckline, she had to keep the flower dress tradition going. Nodding enthusiastically she ran into the bathroom dress in hand. They both attempted to do Mackenzie's hair, however, it ended up mattered so the girls left it down and placed a straw hat on instead. They got distracted by a letter arriving by owl to Astreria by her mother. While Astreria read it several time through, Moon left quietly back to the fields as everyone else was in the hall eating lunch. 

Coming up to the tree they promised to meet at, Moon spotted Neville's figure setting out food in the shade of an oak tree. Marching closer to him, she snuck up behind him. 

"What brings you here on this fine day?" Neville jumped a bit almost dropping the china plates he was setting out. However, Moon thought fast and stopped it breaking with her wand. Glancing around at the beautiful setup Moon couldn't help but admirer the effort her boyfriend had put into their date. "Aw, you did too much now I feel bad, all I brought was myself." 

"I'm glad you did," Neville muttered under his breath. Picking up the boy's arms she placed both over her two shoulders, standing in front of him. Turning around she gave him a peck before clasping onto the rug and devouring the food.  

"Damn this upsidedown cake is finger-licking good." 

"It's my family recipe," Moon nodded while stuffing another slice into her face. She cut Neville a piece handing it to him, who took it gratefully. 

"Lucky, the only thing my family passed down was debt." Neville nearly spat out his food as Moon chuckled lightly. "Moving on..." the blonde dusted her hands off before lying down, staring up at the moving clouds. Stuff with fruit and cheese they pointed out the shapes forming.

"Why did your parents name you Moon?" 

"Well, my dad was friends with the Marauders, that's how he met my mother, James' aunt. Any way to make Lupin feel better one-night he promised to name his daughter after him. And he did." 

"But your real names Mackenzie."

"Yeah well um, my mum didn't want her kid to be called Moon, so it became a nickname. You know that song, Eleanor Rigby?" 

"Oh on, you were called after the priest." Neville held his stomach as he chuckled.

"Yep, Father McKenzie and it's not even spelled the same way." 

 "Why Father McKenzie? There are so many other names mentioned in Beatles' songs." Chuckling together Neville rested his head on top of Moon while she lay her head on his stomach.

"Harry, I know you'll do great," Moon whispered into his ear as they journey down to the maze. He'd been practising defence spells all week but still felt underprepared. Hermione and Ron stood on either side of the duo. The four of them could hear the distant sound of music playing, the sound of a large crowd. This was the finale task, after this they could all relax, look forward to the holidays. After saying goodbye to Harry and Moon, Hermione and Ron went into the arena. After the task commenced Moon would walk over to Madam Pomfrey. They were to stand in the arena until a spark was sent into the air from the maze, then the teacher would retrieve the endangered student and then they see what they can do. 

Moon could see the Beauxbatons girls preforming the school dance, Moon could still remember every move and every word. Gabby caught her eye giving her a wink as she over-exaggerated each move looking like a clown. 

"Earlier today Professor Moody placed the tri-wizards cup deep within the maze. Only he knows its exact position. Now as Mr Diggory..." The crowd cheered loudly as Dumbledore announced the Hufflepuff champion. He stood nervously next to his father who was cheering the loudest. "and Mr Potter tied for first position they will be the first to enter the maze." Moon squeezed his shoulder as she took place for his parents. "Followed by Mr Krum..." The Bulgarian crowd roared. "And Miss Delcour..." A loud applause for the young Beauxbaton, Fleur. "The first person to touch the cup will be the winner. I've instructed the staff to patrol the perimeter, if at any point should a contestant wish to withdraw from the task he or she need only send up red sparks with their wands. Contestants gather round." The champions huddled around Professor Dumbledore, as he said a couple of words to them. Harry returned back to Moon as got ready to enter. 

"Champions! Prepare yourselves." Moody grunts intensely like the most important things was for the task to be completed. Moon pulls Harry into a tight hug.

"Good luck." She whispered into his ear, he gave her a squeeze in return and moved to the entrance. 

"On the count of three... ONE..."
