"Okay! You are good to go!" The doctor says, setting down his clipboard. 

My parents sign some papers and then I grab my small bag and we walk out of the hospital together. I can't believe I'm going home! The third task is in two days and my parents are letting me go to school for that but unfortunately they won't let me attend school until next year. That means I won't be able to see Fred everyday...

  "Honey, are you okay?" My mother asks, looking at me with a concerned expression. 

I sigh and respond, "yeah, I just wish I could go back to  Hogwarts for the rest of the year" 

"I know, but we can't take another risk" 

I look down to my feet, "I know. We just have to keep playing it safe."

  Music is blaring all around me as me and my parents enter the stands. In front of us is what appears to be a giant maze. That'll be a fun first task. 

"I'm going to go find Fred and George" I say as I start to walk away from my parents, ready to be out of their sight and have some time to myself again. It's really hard to have everyone always watching you, worrying about you, monitoring you every second of everyday. 

"Y/n wait! Come back here-" my mother starts, but I ignore her and travel further into the sea of students and parents until I can't hear her anymore. I look around for my two favorite people, which proves to be very difficult because of the large number of people. Suddenly someone bumps me from behind me and I fall to the ground. I try getting up but I can't as people keep moving and walking right past me. 

"Hey, isn't that the one girl who left school?" 

I look over to see people whispering all around me and pointing at me.

I take a look at myself, breathing heavy, covered in dust, and crouched on the stands. Pathetic. It gets harder to breath every second that is it here. More people gather around, some crouch down and talk to me but I can't hear anything they are saying to me. Tears begin to form in my eyes and I roll into a ball, hiding my face from the world. Why do I have to cause such a scene everytime I go out? Why can't I just be normal? Why can't I just be healthy?

I feel a pair of strong arms wrap around me and lift me in the air as the familiar smell of gunpowder and cinnamon cloaks me. 

"It's okay Love, I'm here." 

I lean into Fred's chest and sigh. Thank goodness. I don't look up as he carries me. I just let myself relax in his arms. The music cuts off and a load voice falls over the stadium as I feel myself being set down. 

"Hey" He crouches in front of me and I stare into his big brown eyes. I realize we are behind the stands, away from the noise and people. He knows me so well. 

"Hey" I say back, and I look down. "I- I didn't mean to cause a scene. I just got pushed and fell and I couldn't get up and everyone was so-" 

"Y/n. I know. I know." 

I look up again. Oh how I missed him. How I missed us. He wraps me in a hug and I hold on as if I let go, it'll all be gone. He leans back against the wooden frame of the stands and pulls me onto his lap and we sit there for a while, hearing each of the canons go off, signaling each champions start in the maze. 

After a while I finally pull back. 

"Thank you Freddie, for everything."

"You don't have to thank me. I'd do anything for you Love," 

He leans in, and just like that, we're kissing. The kisses are slow and sweet. I've longed for the taste of his lips for so long and now that I finally have him, I'm never pulling away. Our lips move in sync, our noses occasionally brushing together. Finally, I'm away from everyone, everyone in the world but him. No one watching me, no one telling me what to do. We are the only two people to exist. He holds me closer, trailing his hands gently up and down my back. He turns so I'm straddling him and I move one hand to his chest, the other to his long, ginger hair. This is what I needed.

Fred starts to quicken the pace, making the kisses faster and more passionate. He moves his mouth down my jaw to my neck, leaving a trail of kisses. I tilt my neck as he slowing moves his mouth against my skin. And then his lips are on mine again. His tounge is in my mouth and I sigh. This is exactly what I needed. After a while we eventually pull apart. 

"We should probably go back to the stands..." 

He kisses me again. 

"Fred..." but before I can say anything else he slams his lips against mine. 

I realize that we do have to get back soon before our parents realize we are missing but he starts kissing my neck again and all my thoughts disappear. It's like his lips are magic and my body naturally leans into him his he moves down to my collarbone. 

"Fred... come on...we have to go..." 

But it's hard to get a word in edgewise when he's like this. He kisses my lips, slow and fast at the same time. I melt into him. But I guess he too realizes that we do have to get up eventually.

I climb of my lap, blushing a little at the position we were in. 

"Embarrassed of me, princess?" He smirks at me as he grabs my hand and we sneak back into the stands. It's so nice to have somebody treat me normally for once.

I see a group of redheads and I know that it's the one and only Weasley family. We sit down next to George and Ginny. 

"Have a good time did you?" George winks and I look away and blush. 

"As a matter of fact we did. Thanks for asking dear brother" Fred responds, which only makes me turn a deeper shade of red. 

We look up to see sparks fly in the air and Flyer is escorted out of the maze. One down, three to go. I feel a tap on my shoulder and spin around. 

"You might want to cover up your neck before my mum sees" George whispers and winks at me again. I look at him confused until I realize what he means. I pull my scarf up. 

"Y/n are you alright? You look like a tomato!" Ginny says.

Fred and George start dying with laughter so I hit both of them on the head.

An hour passed and soon it's just Harry and Cedric left in the maze. But that when they both appear of the ground, holding the gleaming cup. The music cuts short and someone in the crowns screams.

Cedric Diggory  is dead.
