'Till The End Darling

10. Time Turner

Y/ns pov:

Halloween had finally arrived which meant today was the day that the champions were to be announced.
"Look here comes Cedric" Ron whispered to me and Harry.
"Merlin Ronald how many boys here do you fan girl over, because I've counted at least 5" I joked.
"Shut up y/n he's coming over here" Harry hushed, sounding equally as excited as Ron.
Cedric walked straight past us and up to the Goblet, where he confidently placed his name in. The parchment he put in was quickly engulfed by tall blue flames. Loud cheers sounded from his group of friends. He began leaving the Hall with the group of Hufflepuffs but suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Acctually you guys go on, ill catch you later"
Cedric called. And he pivoted on the spot and began making his way over to me, Ron and Harry.
"Merlin this time he is coming over here." Harry said to Ron excitedly.
I rolled my eyes at them. Cedric had definatley been the pairs bi-awakening i giggled to myself.
"Why don't you just go sit with Hermione, he's probably coming over to talk to me and Harry anyway" Ron boasted.
"Fine whatever" i laugh.
"Hey mione" I smile at her as I take the empty seat next to her. She says nothing but nudges my side nodding upwards towards something. I look up to see Cedric standing over me.

"Urm hey" he says awkwardly.

"Hey?" I ask questioningly.

"Sorry I didn't mean to bother you I.. I just.. well I was coming over to talk to you and then you walked away so-"

"Oh my God sorry" I laugh "I thought you were coming over to talk to the boys"

"What did you just say?" He smiles.

"Urm that I thought you where going to talk to the boys?"

"No no you said oh my God" He said still smiling.

"Ohh" I exclaimed as the penny finally dropped "yeah sorry, I try say Merlin as much as I can but sometimes it just slips out, I'm muggle born so ... you know its habit I guess" I look to him waiting to see his reaction to finding out I'm Muggle born.

"Cool, I never knew that. I thought you might be a cousin to the weasleys or something as you're always with them" he asked almost expectantly.

"Oh no" I giggle "I'm just very close with all of them"

Georges pov:

"I can't believe we acctually made it" Fred said high fiving me.
"This is gunna be wicked" Lee cried while carefully carrying the two vials of ageing potions.
As we entered the hall where everyone was sat the first thing I noticed was Cedric leaning over y/n.
"What does he want?" I said nudging Fred.
"I don't know man, but I know how to get her attention come on" Fred said excitedly.
Me and him took the vials of off Lee and held them up to everyone.
"We've only gone and done it guys" I called.
"Brewed it up ourselves" Fred continued.
"Ageing potion" I boasted while showing everyone the liquid.
"Its not going to work" Hermione and y/ns voice sang in unison.
Me and Fred made our way over to the girls, I may have also slightly nudged Cedric out of the way, i kneeled down next to y/n, and Fred next to Hermione.

"Oh yeah whys that girls?" Fred asked confidently.

"You see this?" Y/n said pointing at the line around the Goblet.

"Yeah?" Me and Fred both say as if the awnser isn't obvious.

"Well its an age line" she continued.

"And?" We both awnsered.

"Drawn by Dumbledore himself.... ugh Mione you tell them" y/n huffed.

"Its an age line drawn by Dumbledore himself so there's absolutely no way a genius like Dumbledore could be fooled by something as utterly simple minded as an ageing potion" Hermione said proudly.

"Well you see girls" I began.

"Thats why its so brilliant" Fred said.

"Because its so utterly simple minded" we both grinned.

Narrators pov:

The two boys linked arms and downed their potions, with a quick look to eachother they thoughtlessly jumped over the age line. The hall fell silent.
"Yeahh!" Fred cried.
"We've done it" George called.
They highfived eachother and put their names in to the Goblet wich were sure enough engulfed by flames just as Cedrics had.
But the parchment had been in the goblet for no longer than 30 seconds before the once cool blue flame turnt an angry red and spat their two names out viciously. Then both Fred and George were flown out of the ring by an invisible force. Everyone in the hall was laughing hysterically by this point.
Y/n got up to go check on them along with Angelina.
"You said" George shouted angrily to his twin
"No you said" Fred cried back with an accusing finger pointed to his twin.
Most likely the pair would have broken into a fight if it wasn't for the long beards that started to form on their faces.
"Merlin! George you've got a .. a .. beard" Fred mumbled.
"Your hair! Its grey!" George called.
Before long the two teenagers had taken the appearance of old men with beards even Dumbledore would be proud of.
"Come on we better take them to madam pomfrey" y/n said to Angelina who was chuckling to herself.
Angelina linked arms with Fred and helped him to the infirmary.
"Mi'lady" Y/n said dramatically as she put out a hand for George. He took her hand appreciatively and they began making their way out the hall. Y/n noticed the disheartened look on Georges face.

"Hey" she said nudging his side playfully "don't be too sad, its not all bad anyways"

"What positive could possibly come from this" he said signalling to his long beard.

"Well at least I know that if we get married you'll still be hot as an old man" she joked.

"Ohh stop it youre making me blush" he joked while lazily putting an arm around her.

"George are you okay?!" Alicia cried running up to catch the pair.

"Urm yeah fine thanks Alicia" George muttered as he removed him arm from around y/n.

"Where are you two going?" Alicia asked in a bratty tone.

"I'm taking him to the Madam Pomfrey" y/n awnsered plainly.

"Dont you think it'd be a good idea for me to take him instead. I mean you are known for being a bit reckless y/n. " Alicia continued rudely.

George observed the two girls closely before making his desicion.

"Maybe Alicia could take me to the Hospital instead" he said avoiding eye contact with y/n.

Alicias face harboured an extraordinarily smug expression, both her and George looked as though they were waiting for y/n to retaliate or put up a fight.

"Okay cool, see you later guys" she said cooly and turnt to leave. Although her and George weren't a couple they were supposed to be friends. And no matter what the circumstances where if in Georges eyes she had become an option rather than a first choice, she hoped he chose the other option. Because y/n would never let anybody treat her as less than what she deserved.

"Aww did youre boyfriend ditch you?" Theodore taunted as he leant casually on the wall opposite her.

"I'm really not in the mood today" y/n said through gritted teeth as she reached in her bag and pulled out a bit of parchment "here take this, write down all the issues you have with me, fold it and then shuv it up youre ass."

Surprisingly Theodore didn't retort with any cruel remarks, but he laughed. Y/n raised her eyebrows at him in confusion.

"Why so confused Reverie? Were you expecting me to hex you again. Do you remember when I deflected Ginnys bat bogey hex on to you last year. Classic" he said to himself as he slapped his knee as a result of laughter.

"Why are you being so ... weird all of a sudden?" Y/n questioned warily.

"I guess I don't hate you. You're still a mudblood but.. you can be cool. And you're tough..I like that." He spoke less confident in his words.

"What makes you think I'm tough?" She asked with her arms folded.

"I saw you at the World Cup. You're my age and you stupefied a DeathEater to save someone you didn't even know. You're fucking stupid, but pretty cool." Nott said with a shrug of his shoulders.
