It was October now, they were only a few weeks from the 30th.

George saw August walking down a corridor, he figured she had just come back from the library, due to the fact that she had a book in her hand.

"Library?" He asked

"Hospital wing." She said

"Are you okay?" He asked

"I'm fine." She couldn't seem to look into his eyes, "This potion, it like..." She paused. He noticed she was holding her book in a death grip, her knuckles turning white, "It's weird, I don't know. I just feel this clarity now. My head isn't as cloudy anymore... Ignore me, I'm fine."

She gave him a brief look, and smile and then looked away. He didn't understand why she couldn't look at him.

"Oi, gits!" Fred came running up behind them, "Lee sent me to find you two."

"He come up with the last task?" August said, looking at him. And George felt a fire ignite in his stomach, she could look at his brother but not at him.

"Yeah," Fred smiled. He looked at George and then back at August. But had to take a double take, because George looked furious. "Did I miss something?"

"Miss what?" August asked, confused.

"Nevermind..." Fred looked between the two. It was clear to him by August's sincere confusion; she had no idea that George had a pissed looked plastered on his face.


"This one will last two weeks instead of one, only because there is a full moon next week and I didn't think it would be fair to August."

"Of course." The three friends agreed with him.

"Thank you." August smiled.

"Hide and seek," Lee said simply.

"Hide and seek?" Fred laughed, "What the bloody hell does that mean?"

"You hide, I seek," Lee said

"Is that it? How do we hide? We have class together, we all live together." August asked

"Change your look, skip class. Sleep in the bloody lake! I don't know, figure it out!" Lee laughed

"Change our look?!" Fred yelled, "What are you on about?!"

"That's up to you," Lee smiled.

"So a polyjuice potion?" August laughed

"No polyjuice." He said, "Rules, we have to be in the same room at least 3 times in one day."

"Okay," August said

"You have three tries for the two weeks."

"Not bad," Fred said

"No transforming into animals." Lee pointed at George.

"Not fair!" George yelled.

"You've already lost, George. Why do you care?" Fred laughed.

"And none of you can try and hint me towards anyone if you see each other."

"Hiding in plain sight?" August asked

"Exactly."

"This could be fun," Angelina said.

"Also incredibly hard," George said

"But fun." August laughed.

"Should we all stay separate for the next two weeks then?" Fred asked, "It would be hard for you to not notice us since we are always together."
