Fly with me

Chapter three: The Goblet of Fire

"y/n! Guess what?" Fred and George ran up to you. "We've made aging poisons! To put our names in the goblet of fire!"

"Are you sure that'll work?" You asked. "Some people have already tried that and they're in the hospital wing."

"This is going to work!" George exclaimed. "I'm sure!" You rolled your eyes. "Come on! We're about to do it!" George grabbed your hand and pulled you into the room where the goblet of fire was. The Hogwarts students cheered when Fred and George appeared. The twin's bowed and stepped over the age line.

"YES!" Fred said high-fiving George. Suddenly they were sent flying back and when they popped up they're hair was white and they had beards. They looked at each other and started laughing.

"You two should go to the hospital wing." Dumbledore. "Madam Pomphrey is already dealing with two students who tried the aging potion." The twin's hopped up and followed Dumbledore out. The student's applauded them as they walked out. Fred and George turned and bowed before leaving. You turned to see Cedric putting his name in the goblet of fire. Everyone clapped again and someone witled. That all stopped when the doors opened to reveal Karkaroff and Krum. Krum walked up to the goblet and put a folded up piece of paper into its flames. Then his eyes met yours and a spark of recognition flared in them. Then he turned away and walked out.

At lunch Fred and George were back to normal.

"I heard that Dumb Krum put his name in the goblet of fire!" George said. "Is that true?"

"Yeah." You said. "So did Cedric."

"I wonder who's going to get into the tournament." Harry said. "Angelina told me she put her name in."

"I read about previous tournaments." Hermione said. "It's very dangerous."

"So?" Fred and George said in unison.

"People have died." Hermione said.

"Yeah, people have died." You said. "But there's a 1% or 2% chance to die in the tournament. And besides, no one has died in years."

"But still." Hermione said. "Someone could get really hurt."

"Hermione..." George whined. "You're no fun."

"I'm just trying to make sure no one gets hurt." Hermione said.

"This is the Triwizard Tournament, Hermione." Ron said. "Everyone's going to get hurt." Lunch ended and everyone split up and went their separate ways. Hermione dragged Harry and Ron to the library to study and Fred and George met up with their friend Lee Jordain to find some secret passageways." You sat down under a tree and started to read. Your mind kept wandering back to the Triwizard Tournament. You pushed it out of your mind and continued to read.

"Vhat are you reading?" You looked up to see Krum.

"Oh I'm reading (favorite book)." You said.

"Is it any good?" Krum asked. You nodded.

"It's actually my favorite book. I've read it three times already."

"Wow." Krum said.

"Do you read much at Durmstrang?" You asked. Krum shook his head.

"Ve only really read vhen ve study." He said. "I don't read like you do."

"You should try." You said. "There's a lot of good books out there."

"Do you have any recommendations?" Krum asked.

"Well, I've given you one already." You grinned. "Science Fiction is good. So is Fantasy." Krum nodded. Someone called his name and dragged him away. You smiled and returned to your book.
