The stars (Harry Potter fanfiction)

Chapter Twenty-Six

Everyone in the Gryffindor common room was cheering. As Harry showed off the golden egg, he had just collected. Me being the loudest of the people cheering, even though I should be in my common room cheering on Cedric Diggory. I rather not do that.

The twins lift Harry on their shoulders. Throwing him up and down, as they talk to him. "We knew you wouldn't die Harry." George tells him, "Lose a leg." Fred chimes in. "Or an arm." George continues, as both the twins start talking nonsense.

"Go on Harry, what's the clue?" Seamus asks Harry, as he hands him the golden egg. Kissing it before he passes it to Harry. Harry gladly accepts and smiles.

"Who wants me to open it? You want me to open it?" He shouts out waving it up in the air.

"Open it already!" I shout to Harry. which makes the twins turn to me. "Shouldn't you be in the Hufflepuff tower?" They ask me in unison, I ignore them and put my focus back on Harry, smiling at him. As to tell him to go ahead and open it.

Harry quickly turns the egg, not trying to waste another second. The egg nicely comes undone. A beautiful glow shining bright. But the next thing out of the egg is a screeching sound. It is unbearable, the twins quickly drop Harry rushing to cover their ears. As I do the same covering my ears. As all the students in the common room do so.

"What the bloody hell was that?" A new voice asks as Harry closes the golden egg. I look up to meet who said it, already knowing who the voice belonged to. Ron Weasley that was, my mate and Harry's best mate who are in a feud right now.

"Alright everyone, go back to your knitting. This is gonna be uncomfortable enough without all you nosey sods listening in." Fred yells out, causing me to turn to him and say.

"Yelling that won't help. You made it more uncomfortable. Are you daft?"

Fred pushes me away, he turns to George and they both walk off together. I turn around and sneakily listen to Ron and Harry's conversation. Hoping they would fix this little patch in their friendship.

"I reckon you'd have to be barking mad to put your own name in the goblet of fire." Ron speaks first, his head down looking at his feet while he talks to Harry. "Caught on, have you. Took you long enough." Harry rudely says to him, but I wouldn't blame Harry, Ron was acting like the biggest git. But at the same time, I understand Ron.

"Wasn't just me who thought you'd done it. Everyone was saying it behind your back." Ron tells him, Harry makes a sad face for a little. Then his face goes back to being unreadable.

"Brilliant. That makes me feel loads better."

They just stare at each other for a while. Then Ron says. "At least I warned you about the dragons."

"Hagrid warned me about the dragons."

"Oh no no, I did. Don't you remember? I told Hermione to tell you that Seamus told me that Parvati told Dean that Hagrid was looking for you. Seamus never actually told me anything, so it was really me all along. I thought we'd be alright, you know, after you figured that out." Ron explains.

"Who could possibly figure that out?" Harry asks, that's when I jumped up from the couch. And ran to hug them.

"Me! I could possibly figure it out!"

"Athena, that is mental," Harry tells me, trying to leave the hug I'm forcing him and Ron in. "No, it's not... Have you two lovers snogged yet?"

"Athena! No!" Ron yells to me this time. I just shrug my shoulders and say. "Well, I heard. When two blokes like you fight. You must snog when you make up."

Harry and Ron roll their eyes at me. Harry looks and me and replies with.

"Go to your common room. I've had enough Athena Black for today."
