crashing down // Fred Weasley

Hungarian Horntail

Today was the day. November 24, the day of the first task. It had come rapidly and Sophie's nerves were finally getting the best of her.

"Soph you need to eat." Harry had told his sister multiple times but every time she just shook her head and replied with a mumbled 'dragons. Bloody dragons.'

"I think she's going insane." George whispered to Hermione and Harry from across.

"Hey Soph." Fred mumbled. "You need to eat, you'll be okay we're all going to be cheering you on."

Sophie took the toast from Fred's hand and began to eat it slowly still keeping her head down. "I'm gonna die." She moaned and threw the last piece of toast onto the plate in front of her.

"Sophie Lily Potter!" George shouted randomly making the girl jump. "Quit whining like a four year old and get your head out of your arse!" She just looked from Fred to his twin who had a large grin on his face. "You are gonna kill this task and all the ones to come." He nodded.

"That was totally not needed you git." Ron mumbled from the side of them still in quite the mood with the Potters. Harry mainly considering they were suppose to be best friends but he still hadn't made the effort to speak to Sophie.

"Yeah." Sophie agreed throwing the toast at him. "I'm not deaf"

George just shook his head before standing revealing a badge that read. 'Sophie Potter Rules' on it. It was embedded in Gryffindor red and golden sparkles. "I'm your biggest fan Potter just showing my love."

Hermione shook her head and let out a little giggle attracting looks from Fred, George and Sophie. "I don't think your her biggest fan." She said to George. "Look at Fred he's practically more scared then she is."

"I just." Fred tried to defend himself but couldn't come up with an excuse.

"Awh." George sang. "Is Freddie worried about his little Soph getting hurt."

"His little Soph?" Harry questioned with a rather intrigued look but kind of protective at the same time.

"No." Fred shot. "Nothing like that." He snarled at his brother.

"I'm going to go speak to Cedric." Sophie sighed getting up and heading over to the Hufflepuff table.

"You feeling alright Soph?" Cedric asked as she took a seat beside him.

"How are you Hufflepuffs always so cheerful?" She asked burying her head in her arms.

"Take that as a no then." He chuckled.

"I'm serious Diggory." She started. "We're about to face bloody dragons."

"I thought you liked dragons, thought they were cool?" He laughed.

"They are." She said lifting her head up. "But stealing ones egg, it's going to try and kill me."

"Well think about it this way." Cedric whispered. "If the dragon kills you, you don't have to worry about your OWLs next year."

"OWLs?"

The time was here. The four champions were in the tents surrounded by teachers and ministry officials, Dumbledore and Crouch doing the talking.

Sophie wasn't only nervous for which dragon she would have been given but she was also very aroused at writer 'Rita Skeeter' for sneaking a picture of her and Cedric hugging. She claimed them to be lovers.

"Lovers soon to be competitors, will they last? Will they survive? Will their love hold them together?" She exclaimed as the enchanted quill behind her took notes.
