Aurora, Aru, and Hyunjin decided to spend the rest of the day playing games and lazing around the Common Room before going to bed. As the next day was Sunday, Aurora made plans to sleep in, but was interrupted by Hyunjin who had rolled on top of her. Groaning, she shoved him off of her, and made her way to the restroom in his dorm. The night before, she, Hyunjin, and Aru decided to have a sleep over. Aru had promised no alcohol, but somehow they all had become drunk by the time they went to bed, and Aurora realized she should've guessed that would have happened one way or another.
She washed her face, slightly waking herself up a bit, and headed into the dorm to wake Aru.
"Wake up, Aru. It's like- 9 in the morning. Get up!" Aru groaned, waving a hand in Aurora's face.
"Five more minutes." she mumbled.
Rolling her eyes, Aurora stood up, leaving Hyunjin to deal with Arundhati. She made her to her dorm and got ready. She walked out of her dorm, clipping her hair up, and saw Hyunjin coming out of his dorm with Aru hitting him with a pillow.
"Ow- will you st-"
"Why didn't you wake me up?!"
Aurora internally groaned at her pounding headache, which was only getting worse at their bickering. "Will you shut up? I have a headache because of you, Aru."
Aru stuck her tongue out at her before Aurora turned to leave the Common Room. She made her way to Great Hall and found a large crowd surrounding something in front of the entrance of the Great Hall. She made a beeline to where Harry, Hermione, and Ron were. As she arrived, the twins had popped up with mischievous looks on their faces.
"Done it." Fred said in a triumphant whisper to them Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Aurora.
"What now?" Aurora groaned, holding her head in her hands.
Ron, recognizing the tell-tale signs of a hangover, grinned and said, "Had fun last night, did you?"
"Oh, fuck off."
"The Aging Potion-"
"One drop each," said George, rubbing his hands together in pure mischief.
Aurora snorted, sharing a look with Hermione.
"It's not going to work!" she sang, a knowing grin fleeting. George and Fred shared a look and crouched on either of her.
"Oh yeah?" exclaimed George.
"Why's that, Granger?" a smirk played on Fred's lips.
"See that?" She pointed to a glowing ring surrounding the goblet. "That's an Age Line. Dumbledore drew it himself!"
"So?" they said in unison.
"So, a genius like Dumbledore couldn't possibly be fooled by a dodge as pathetically dimwitted as an aging potion." she said, smiling in slight victory.
But to her surprise, the twins just grinned.
"That's why it's so brilliant!"
"Because it's so pathetically dimwitted." They got up and entered the the ring and threw the slips of paper in the goblet. The whole crowd watched with bated breath for a moment for the silence was broken by Fred and George's loud cheering.
"Yeah!" George turned to Hermione. "I told you! It did-"
BAM!
The next thing Aurora knew is the twins were on the ground almost a mile away from the cup with large grey beards adorning their faces.
They looked at each other and said,
"You said-!"
"You said-!"
They started wrestling on the ground while the rest of the students surrounded them, the small click of a camera being heard every few seconds and a bright flash following a second right after.
Ron shoved to the front of the crowd and laughed upon the sight, Aurora not far behind him.
"I did warn you," a deep, amused voice rang throughout the giant hallway. Professor Dumbledore had entered the room, eyes twinkling and smile alight. "I suggest you head along to Madame Pomfrey. Miss Fawcett, and Mr. Summers already happen to be there as well, both deciding to age themselves up a bit too. Though I must say, neither of their beards as fine as yours."
They headed into the Great Hall, bursting with laughter until they all sat down at the Gryffindor table.
Harry and Ron were in the middle of a conversation about Warrington and Diggory entering in the tournament as well.
"...But I though he wouldn't have wanted to risk his good looks." exclaimed Seamus.
"Well-"
"Listen!" perked Hermione.
People were cheering, and it continued as a tall, dark-skinned girl sat down next to Hermione. Grinning proudly, but sort of embarrassed, she said, "Well, I've done it! I put my name in!"
"You're kidding!" said Ron, fork halfway to his mouth
"Brilliant!" said Harry, mouth full of food.
Aurora shot him a disgusted look and turned to Angelina. "Good job! I hope you get it. So, when'd you turn seventeen, then?"
"Just last week." she smiled
"That's well, I'm happy someone from Gryffindor's entering." said Hermione. "I hope you get it!" she cheered kindly.
"Thank you, Hermione." smiled Angelina,
"Yeah, better you than Pretty-Boy Diggory." Seamus exclaimed, causing a hefty amount of Hufflepuffs (and a few Beauxbatons ladies) to scowl at Seamus.
"Hey, look!" said a random student. The four turned their heads to where the girl was pointing and found Madam Maxime walking towards the cups, an entourage of students behind her, all circling one student.
"Who is that?" whispered Hermione.
A sudden look of recognition dawned on Harry's face as a smirk made it's way to his mouth. "Hey Ron, look. It's your friend, y'know, the one who you like watching walk b-"
"Shut up." he hissed, eyes showing fear as Hermione threw him a dirty look.
"Seriously, Ronald? Honestly, what did I expect?" she harrumphed. Ron opened his mouth to retort back, but his attempts were ignored.
Trying to avoid another fight, Aurora jumped in. "How about we visit Hagrid? It's been a while, hasn't it?" you looked to Harry for help.
He understood her look immediately and continued. "Yeah, let's check up on him." He gets up from his seat and offers his hand to Aurora. She takes it with a smile and doesn't let go until she notices Raven's stare. She leans closer to Harry as Ron tries to help Hermione up after accidently tripping her.
"Looks like your little girlfriend is getting jealous, no?" you whisper in his ear. His head snaps to where she was looking and flushed. Aurora snickered mischievously before pulling him along to Hagrid's cabin.
