As the weeks passed and the tournament came closer and closer, Addilyn panicked more and more. The tournament was tomorrow and she had no idea what she would do if her and George's plan didn't work out.

As she walked down to breakfast that day, she had to control her breathing so she wouldn't have a panic attack during breakfast.

"You're fine. It's not until tomorrow. You'll be fine." Addilyn told herself.

When Addilyn got to the gryffindor table and sat down with her friends, she decided maybe eating some food wouldn't be so bad.

She ate some toast and eggs, and felt better almost immediately.

"Addi, I can tell you're nervous. You'll be fine. I promise." George said. 

He kissed the side of her head and smiled at her.

Addilyn jumped when she felt another hand on her opposite shoulder.

She looked up to see Cedric staring at her.

"I can sense that you are nervous all the way from the hufflepuff table. Calm down. You'll be fine. I promise. Let tomorrow hold all your worries, not today." Cedric told her.

"I told her she'd be fine too. She didn't listen of course." George said.

Addilyn held her head in her hands and then tugged at her hair. 

"What if I'm not okay? I have a right to be a little nervous. I mean I do have to battle a dragon." Addilyn said.

"And you'll be fine battling the dragon. You really think Charlie is going to let anything happen to you?" George said.

"Whos Charlie?" Cedric asked.

"One of the Weasley bunch. The twins older brother. Basically like another brother to me." Addilyn told Cedric.

"If Charlie is like another brother to you, then that means I'm like another brother to you. Addilyn thats just not right." George tried to joke.

Addilyn gave a small smile and continued eating her eggs.

"I'll be cheering you on from the stands tomorrow okay? You're going to do great." Cedric said.

"Thanks Ced. See you there." Addilyn said.

"I for sure thought he would've gotten picked." George said as he walked away.

"Yea he would've been way better at this whole tournament thing than me. At least he would've survived the tasks." Addilyn said.

"Hey! Stop it! You're going to do great. You're going to kick that dragons ass." George said.

He swung his arm around her shoulder and pulled her close. 

"I'll be right there waiting for you afterwards as well." George told her.

"I know Georgie. Thank you." Addilyn said.

Addilyn and George still hadn't told anyone they admitted to fancying each other.

Personally, Addilyn wanted to wait until George officially asked her to be his girlfriend, if that was ever going to happen. 

"I'm gonna head to class. You coming?" Addilyn said.

"I thought you had the option of a day off today?" George asked.

"I do, but class will keep my mind off of it. I might have to skip Snapes class though." Addilyn said.

As George and Addilyn walked to class, they were both silent.
