The stars (Harry Potter fanfiction)

Chapter Twenty-Two

We're all in the Great Hall, people are placing their names in the goblet. Hermione is reading I'm just watching people who put their name in. I'm waiting to see Diggory do it.

"Why are you staring so hard?" Hermione asks, eyes still on her book.

"Waiting for Diggory."

"Aren't Hufflepuff's suppose to be nice?"

"With him. I can't. He's just so stuck up. Deserves Slytherin if you ask me."

And as I finish my sentence outcomes Diggory himself. Running with his friends. All giggling about putting their name in the goblet. Diggory jumps into the circle, showing everyone his piece of paper. And with that, he throws his name in, everyone starts cheering. He jumps out by me looking at me smirking.

"Really think you can handle it?" I ask him looking at him, he just stares back with the biggest smirk.

"Think, I know so." He replies. Still with that stupid smirk. He makes my blood boil.

"Really? Because you cried for mummy, because of a broomstick. How are you so sure you can handle this?"

"Oh bug off. Black." And with that he is gone, walking off with his friends. His smirk dropped, I laugh in happiness. Laughing so hard my stomach hurts, Hermione is just looking at me weird.

After my amazing laugh. The twins come in running with some potion in their hands. Everyone starts cheering for them. I'm still confused about what they're holding.

"Thank you thank you, well lads we've done it," George tells the crowd. Fred follows in saying.

"Cooked it up just this morning." Hermione finally closes her book looking up at Fred and George. "It's not going to work." Still confused I ask.

"What isn't going to work?"

"Well, Black. Me and George cooked up a nice. Aging Potion. We should drink it and then. Age to our desired age and then we shall enter the contest." Fred explains to me. This won't work I know it. But I still smile and nod my head at him.

"A genius like Dumbledore couldn't possibly be fooled by something pathetically dim-witted such as an age potion," Hermione tells them. Rolling her eyes at the two brothers who seem to be sharing one brain cell.

"That's why it's so brilliant," George tells her. Standing up with Fred they shake up their potions getting ready.

"Ready Fred?"

"Ready, George."

And with that, they link hands. And drink the potion. After that, they jump into the circle and start cheering, and laughing. Everyone clapping them on. They finally put their name in and nothing happens. They look at each other and high-five each other. But just as they do that their names come flying out of the goblet. The flames fire up causing George and Fred to be thrown out. When they get up they're old and growing grey everywhere.

"You said.."

"You said.."

And they lunge at each other. Two old men fighting together. Suddenly I feel a hand being slipped into mine. I turn around it's Harry. He looks at me and smiles not saying anything.

I unlink our hands. And cross my hands on my chest. Turning away from Harry. He sighs.

"No hand-holding. Until I get my apology."

"Athena Nova Black. I'm sorry, for being mean to you."

"Oh, Harry! My hand is cold. Hold it will you?" I ask Harry smiling at him, he grabs my hand as we watch Viktor Krum. Put his name in the goblet. Ron looks like he will faint.
