-------------------------------------

As the days went by, more and more students would cast their names into the Goblet of Fire which sat in the center of the hall on the stool that normally bore the Sorting Hat. A thin golden line had been traced on the floor, forming a circle ten feet around it in every direction.

Whenever you went downstairs into the great hall, countless people milling around the artifact, some hesitant of throwing their name into the lot and others just deciding to examine the Goblet of Fire for now.

"Anyone new put their name in today?" Harry asked his friends as he took a seat at the Hogwarts table. It was interesting to see that all four houses were together in one place after that food fight it was like the ice was broken between everyone as you could see students from different houses chatting with each other.

For example, Susan Bones who was on his left replied, "Yes, I think by now the whole Durmstrang lot cast their names!"

"I heard that only one person from Koldovstoretz cast their name in, that Russia Princess. Other than that no one else seem to dare try to compete with her," Lavender Brown spoke up, making it clear what she thought of that with the way her face twisted up in disgust.

Someone's laughter came from behind Harry. Turning around, he saw Fred, George, and Lee Jordan hurrying into the great hall, all three of them looking extremely excited.

"Done it," Fred said in a triumphant whisper to Harry and his friends seated next to him. "Just taken it."

"Done what?" Tracey Davis asked as she looked up at them with a raised eyebrow.

"The Aging Potion, dung brains," said Fred.

"One drop each," said George, rubbing his hands together with glee. "We only need to be a few months older."

"We're going to split the ten thousand Galleons reward between the three of us if one of us wins," said Lee, grinning broadly.

"I'm not sure this is going to work, you know," said Hermione warningly "I'm sure Dumbledore will have thought of this." Fred, George, and Lee ignored her.

"You won't be able to stop their foolhardy plans," Harry shook his head as he smiled in amusement. It was a daily routine for them to try something new to get past the aging line which prevented anyone under 17 to pass underneath it.

"Hey," George said, "you gave us this idea!"

Giving him a pointed stare, Hermione didn't need to say anything to show her disappointment.

"What, they were getting desperate and it might work!" he shrugged his shoulders as he took a bite of his breakfast.

"Or they might be stuck as old men forever," Blaise Zabini chuckled darkly.

Ignoring his comment, Fred called out to the other two, quivering with excitement, "Ready?"

With nods of heads all around, he uttered, "Then, I'll go first!"

Harry watched as Fred pulled a slip of parchment out of his pocket bearing the words Fred Weasley Hogwarts. He wasn't the only pair of eyes on him as everyone paused to see what he was up to again.

Fred walked right up to the edge of the line and stood there, rocking on his toes like a diver preparing for a fifty-foot drop. Then, with the eyes of every person in the entrance hall upon him, he took a great breath and stepped over the line.
