Tancred leveled an icy glare at the giggling brat. Of course he’d be embroiled in house rivalries. “Not every blond pureblood in Slytherin is a bloody Malfoy clone!” he quipped. “I’m well aware of my house’s reputation and biases, but my ambition is to survive, not uphold some stupid, backwards traditions. I’m not some rich nepotism baby. Learned a long time ago that I have to look out for myself because no one else is going to unless absolutely necessary. Potter may be a self righteous prick, but at least he understands that on some level! Why else would he and his little posse insist on forming a secret Defense Against the Dark Arts club?”

He wasn’t angry, though he really wished he could be. At Zacharias for needling him. At Umbridge for slowly but surely taking over Hogwarts, and just generally being a haughty bitch. At Dumbledore for not being able to do anything about it. At the Ministry for sending her in the first place. The truth was that Tancred was more scared than anything else. Between the tournament last year and Umbridge, Cornelius Fudge was quickly proving that he cared more about his reputation and job than he did about his people, especially those who were underage. He was scrambling to keep any shred of credibility he’d once held, failing miserably, and putting the most vulnerable wizards at risk in the process. Tancred didn’t even want to think about what He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named might be brewing if he was truly back. Hell, part of him wished that Potter had made that bit up just to cover his own ass, but it didn’t seem remotely possible.

“Look, I don’t know what your plans are after graduation, but I want to get out of the UK. Travel the world. Live my own life, free from my mother, the Ministry, and every other authority figure who doesn’t give two flying fucks about me, and I can’t do that if I’m dead before I turn eighteen. If taking lessons from Golden Boy means I survive whatever shitstorm is about to hit, then I’ll do it. I shouldn’t have to justify that to you or anyone else.” Had he ever even told anyone what he wanted to do with his life after graduation? Tancred realized with a start that he hadn’t, in fact, divulged such personal details to those he’d considered friends, let alone to annoying acquaintances. He huffed, averting his eyes. “You make me talk too much, Smith…speak a word of this to anyone, and I’ll make sure you regret it.”

After hearing his house-mates, Ernie Macmillan and Hannah Abbott, discussing it; part of his motivation seems to have been curiosity as to how Cedric Diggory was murdered at the end of the previous school year. Hermione Granger eventually regretted inviting him, as he was annoyingly and constantly sceptical. This did not stop his continuous criticism at the Hog's Head meeting exclaiming:

"All Dumbledore told us last year was that Cedric Diggory got killed by You-Know-Who and that you brought Diggory’s body back to Hogwarts. He didn’t give us details, he didn’t tell us exactly how Diggory got murdered. I think we’d all like to know…"

Zacharias threw a foul expression to the student beside him who made light of his forward introduction.

“So Dumbledore says because he says! The point is, where's the proof?”

Fifteen years of living with an alcoholic mother had taught him to know a lie when he heard it, especially one so blatant. Still, he didn’t want to chase the other boy off just yet. That kicked puppy look on his face had been obvious enough to make Tancred feel a twinge of guilt. Perhaps he’d been a bit too harsh?

“Look,” he sighed, “if you’re worried about grades, I get that. Especially with Um-bitch tightening her grip on the school. I’d honestly choose Potter over her any day. Rumors aside, he’s been through a lot, and he came out of it more or less unscathed. If he can teach the rest of us to do the same…”

Tancred trailed off. Perhaps if Cedric had been instructed by someone as experienced and willing as the Boy Who Lived, he might have survived whatever went down in the maze. Then again, he definitely would have survived if there had been no maze to begin with. No Tri-Wizard Tournament. “All I’m saying is that Potter isn’t the one you should be interrogating. He’s not the one putting all of us in danger; he’s just survived enough of it to want to help others survive.”
