Fool Me Once (Book One) - Fred Weasley

26. The Goblet

TW. MENTIONS OF DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE. AND A LITTLE BIT OF SMUT. AND BLOOD.

The rest of September came by fairly fast. For once Fred had actually attended all of his classes and was doing a lot of homework. Well by alot in reality he was doing it for one or two classes but he figured that people should be proud of him. He had never really done homework before now.

George and Fred were also spending a lot of time working on not only items that that they wanted for the joke shop. But also an aging potion. Fred was more determined than ever to win this tournament now, not only did he need the money for the joke shop. He needed the money for the baby that he and Aaliyah were going to have, just five and a half months from now.

Finally, the day before halloween the twins managed to perfect the ageing potion. They ran into the great hall and everyone was cheering for them. Well everyone except Hermoine Granger 'its not going to wo-ork' she sang at them.

'Oh yeah and why is that Granger?'

'You see this?' she asked pointing to the age line in front of them 'this is an age line. Dumbledore drew it himself.

'So?'

She scoffed. 'So, a genius like Dumbledore couldnt possibly by fooled by something as patheticly dimwitted as an ageing potion'

'Ah well thats why its so brilliant-'

'because its so pathetically dimwitted'

The duo then got up from beside her and stood on the bench.

'Ready Fred?' George asked

'Ready George' fred answered with a nod

'Bottoms up' the pair said in unison while linking arms and downing the potion.

They jumped into the circle and when nothing happened everyone around the hall began to cheer again. But when they put our parchment into the goblet the fire turned red and the two were thrown backwards out of the circle.

Fred looked at George and he looked at me. They had both grown long white beards and our hair was almost as long and white as Dumbledors.

'You said!' Fred said

'You said!' George said, before trying to pin him to the floor. As they were wrestling on the floor fred felt a small pair of hands try to pull him up.

'Come on Freddie Bear' Aaliyah said trying to supress a laugh. 'Lets get you to Poppy yeah?'

Fred nodded in agreement before getting off the floor and walking out of the Great Hall with his arm around Aaliyah. George and Lee werent too far behind them. Although Lee wasnt as skilled as keeping in his laughter as Aaliyah was.

Suddenly she stopped dead in her tracks, clutching her head. 'Princess, you all good my love?' she nodded and continued walking.

'Yeah, just had a headache the last few days, I think I might have a flu, been sick a few times but its nothing to worry about, totally normal for the first trimester Freddie Bear' she told him while they made out way to the hospital wing.

After giving Fred and George a potion to get rid of their 'old manliness' as Lee was reffering to it as, Fred and Aaliyah decided to go down and spend some time at their spot by the lake.

Fred sat in Aaliyahs usual seat with her head on his lap. He took a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it. Putting it in his mouth and taking a big inhale before holding it in his chest for a second and exhaling. Aaliyah was watching his every move with a small contented smile on her face. Fred knows well that no matter how much she denies it she finds it attractive when he smokes.
