A week has gone by and the Goblet of Fire had been set up
Dumbledore explained to everyone this morning at breakfast how to enter and about the ball coming up on Christmas
I looked at Fred the entire time, he didn't look back at me, he was too busy glaring at Ludo who has successfully avoided them all week, but I imagined how wonderful it be would to be his date
I saw a black dress with stars on it last year in Hogsmeade, I thought it would be perfect for a special occasion...this could be that time
No matter what Fred is in he'll look incredible
The next day we all met in the Great Hall to watch students enter the tournament
"Wouldn't it be great to enter?" Ron said slouching in his seat
"It would be" I said "I could use some eternal glory"
"There goes Diggory" He said
I watched as Cedric's friends pushed him forward as he smiled the entire way
He walked over the age line and placed his name in the goblet
Flames around it turned blue and then calmed down after his name was burnt into the goblet
He turned around and smiled my way
I waved at him but Ron pulled my hand back down
"Dont fraternize with the enemy" he said
I laughed
"What makes him the enemy?"
"He's on the opposite team"
"So is Draco"
Ron rolled his eyes
"And you know how we feel about that"
I mocked his eye roll
"Make friends not enemies Ronald"
Hermione was quietly beside me doing her homework as Ron Harry and I watched more students enter
I heard loud stomping coming from the hallway
I looked towards the door and saw Bulgarian students cheering on Viktor as he walked over to the goblet
He looked at Hermione and winked at her and then did the same to me
I waved at him and Hermione stayed neutral
Ron slouched back in his seat further
"What makes him so great"
"Jealous?"
"Ha! Of him?!" Ron said crossing his arms "never"
"We've done it!!" I heard the voice of Fred yell from the hallway
Students all whipped their heads around to see the twins run inside of the Great Hall
I smiled when I saw how happy they looked
"What have you done?" I asked
Fred came over to me and showed me a vile of potion
"Age potion love"
"It'll age us just a few months, old enough to enter" said George
"I knew you would find a way" I said laughing
"It's not going to work" Hermione said looking down at her textbook
The twins looked at each other and then squished Hermione between them
"Why's that Granger?" Fred asked
She pushed them both back and then pointed to the ground
"You see that? It's an age line"
"Hence the age potion" George said showing her the bottle
She rolled her eyes
"Dumbledore is the smartest wizard in the world, do you really think he'll be fooled by an aging potion? Something so easy to make?"
"Yes" they both said
"Dimwits"
"Dimwits maybe but you'll see" Fred winked at me and then stood up with George "ready George?"
He nodded his head
"Ready Fred"
The crossed arms with each other and drank the potion
Nothing about them physically changed, they still looked the same
So it worked
The crowd started cheering their names
"Let's do this" Fred said taking his parchment with his name
George did the same
They both jumped over the age line
We all waited in silence to see if it would rebound
But it didn't
The crowd cheered even louder for them
They ran around the goblet, soaking up the energy from the crowd
I was clapping and cheering loudly for them with Ron and Harry
Hermione stared at them, waiting for something to happen
And it did
Right after they put their names in the goblet, the fire turned bright red and shot out at them
I gasped when Fred went flying backwards with George
I ran over to them
What I saw when I got to their side, made me laugh so hard I was crying
"You aged nicely" I said laughing
Fred and George got up and touched their faces
They had long white beards growing longer by the minute on their faces
Their skin started to winkle and their voices were deeper and raspier
"You said it would work!" Fred yelled
"I thought it would!" George yelled back
They began wrestling each other on the ground as the students around us began chanting their names
Hermione got up and walked over to us
"Told you" she said
Dumbledore walked into the room with Professor McGonagall who was raising her eyebrows at the twins
"Madame Pomfrey has the cure, it'll go away in a day. You two can go join the others who thought they were smarter than I" he said smirking at the twins
I got up and offered my hand to Fred
"Need help grandpa?"
He took my hand and pulled me down to his side
He smushed his white beard in my face
"Fred!!" I yelled laughing "your beard is tickling me!!"
He laughed with me and continued to tickle my face with his beard
"You two are gross" George said
Fred stopped tickling me
"At least I'm the better looking old man"
"Says who? I'm a silver fox" George said stroking his beard
"I didn't see anyone run to your elderly side" Fred said "better looking right Cora?"
George and Fred both looked at me
"Honestly you both look the exact same when you are this age, but yes Fred you are the better looking one sorry George"
George pushed Fred over and then helped me get up from the ground
"Cora is biased"
"Doesn't make what she said any less true" Fred smirked
"Let's go to Madame Pomfrey, I don't need you two breaking a hip before we get there"
