THE NEXT few days, Zola discovered that her cousin, Draco, had created and distributed insulting and humiliating badges that praise Cedric but bash Harry. Everyone par the Gryffindors (and a few pleasant Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs) was wearing them. And Zola being Zola was infuriated.

Everyone she passed who wore one, she would rip it off so she get rid of them. so far, she had snatched about 40 or so badges. And that just her collection. Jesse had got 30. Troy had got 20. Lorelei had claimed 50. Priscilla had stole 30. Together, they had collected 170 badges — more or less. A few more then they'd be no more.

Zola, Lorelei and Priscilla were walking past a group of Hufflepuffs who were wearing the badges and each girl snatched it from their robes, plopping them into their baskets with a smug smile.

"Oi!" One of the boys shouted after them.

"Piss off!" Zola yelled back, giving him the finger before turning back around only to bump into one of the champions. "Harry! You alright, mate?"

"I suppose so," Harry nodded, yet didn't smile. "Do you know who made those badges?" He pointed towards the three baskets full of green and yellow pins.

"Yeah, it was the devil himself," Lorelei responded.

"Draco?" Harry guessed.

"Draco," The three girls nodded in unison.

Priscilla spoke up. "We saw him in the courtyard — by the large tree. If you were interested."

"You have my permission to punch him," Zola grinned enthusiastically. "Good luck, Harry!" She called out as the girl's spotted another group of students with the badges on. "We'll be there in a minute. Shout us if you need us, love!"

After a few more minutes of ripping badges from students' robes, the three girls made their way outside into the courtyard. Zola smiled as she spotted Cedric lounging on one of the benches. She waved over at him with a smile.

Before she could approach him, she heard a commotion coming towards the tree that she knew Draco and, now Harry, was. She, Lorelei and Priscilla rushed over to see Professor Moody using his wand to levitate a white ferret in the air.

 "What's he doing?" She asked Harry.

The specky-boy pointed to the white animal, flabbergasted. "That's Malfoy."

Zola's dark eyes widened with worry. Even if she did hate the boy, he still was human and her cousin. And Moody was a professor — it was out of line for him to take such action. The students watched helplessly as he pulled Crabbe's pants forward and floated the ferret to drop into the Slytherin's trousers.

Goyle pushed his hand down Crabbe's pants, trying to pry Draco from his imprisonment but he quickly snatched his hand back as the animal bit his fingers. The ferret slid out of the bottom of the trousers and Professor McGonagall turned him back to his human state. His once pristine hair was now messy and unkempt.

Zola, unlike the people around her, didn't find the event humorous. She felt humiliated for Draco — something she had never felt for her cousin before. She the new professor a dirty look before walking away, not before snatching one of the badges from Cedric's friends roughly.
