More Than Heart Could Desire 《 A George Weasley Love Story 》

Chapter#28 The Four Champions

NARRATOR'S POV:

Sixth year at Hogwarts started with an amazingly enthusiastic event, The Triwizard Tournament. Students from sixth and seventh year were looking forward to put forth their names for the Triwizard tournament. Anna and Diana also wanted to enter their name but they both were not seventeen so, they didn't even try.

George and Fred on the other hand, were getting their aging potion ready, confident that it would work perfectly. Anna kept trying to stop them but they kept ignoring her, like they never heard her saying "Georgie, Freddie don't do this. It can be dangerous", The twins didn't bugde on their decision.

It was Thursday. Anna with Hermione and Diana, was sitting in the great hall, watching students from Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang putting their name in the Goblet of Fire.

Cedric Diggory come in the great hall with his friends who were cheering and clapping for him. He crossed the age line and threw his name in the Goblet of Fire. Anna was watching him and clapped for him when he did so. He looked at Anna clapping for him and passed her a smile which she returned.

Few minutes after Cedric left with his friends, the popular Weasley pranksters entered the great hall, cheering triumphantly. All the students in the great hall cheered and clapped for them. They passed the group of students, high-fiving them, like heroes.

"Well, lads, we've done it", Fred said.

"Cooked it up just this morning", George added.

"It's not going to work", Hermione chimed.

"Oh, yeah", Fred said.

"And why is that, Granger?", George added. They both knelt down. George next to Anna and Fred next to Diana as Hermione was sitting in between them.

"You see this? This is an Age Line.
Dumbledore drew it himself", Hermione told.

"So", Fred said nonchalantly.

"So, a genius like Dumbledore
couldn't possibly be fooled by a dodge as pathetically dimwitted as an Aging Potion", Hermione said.

"Ah, but that's why it's so brilliant", Fred said.

"Because it's so pathetically dimwitted", George added and winked at Anna who shook her head in response.

They both got up on their feet and shook the vials in their hands with aging potion in it.

"Ready, Fred?", George said.

"Ready, George", Fred said.

"Bottoms up", they both said in unison and gulped the potion from the vial.

Then, with the eyes of every person in the entrance hall upon them, they both jumped in the age line. Anna keyed up when they jumped in the age line and got up on her feet.

"Yes! Yeah!", George and Fred and everyone chanted when they saw that nothing happened.

"Ready?", they both threw a slip of parchment, bearing the words George Weasley — Hogwarts and Fred Weasley — Hogwarts in the Goblet of Fire.

For a split second Anna thought it had worked. George and Fred certainly thought so, for they let out a yell of triumph and high-fived, but next moment, there was a loud sizzling sound and both twins were hurled out of the blue circle, thrown by the blue flame from the Goblet of Fire.

"George! Fred!", Anna cried out their name and ran towards them.

Diana and Hermione also stood to see what happened to them. Their hair turned sliver and big white beard grew on their face. Everyone laughed holding their sides.
