I watch as Dumbledore creates an age line around the Goblet of Fire with his wand. He walks away to return to wherever Dumbledore is when he isn't making age lines around Goblets of Fire.
Fred and George pull out their vials of ageing potion.
"Ready Fred?"
"Ready George."
"Bottoms up!"

They drain the vial and jump into the ring.
A moment passes.
And then another.
They drop their names in and people cheer.
All of a sudden they're blasted backwards and their papers flit out of the Goblet.
They sit up with beards, as the ageing potion clearly took its effect.
They start fighting each other like children, rolling on the floor, trying to beat the other, and people begin cheering. I'm laughing, but I hide behind Cedric. I don't need them attacking me. They're as tall as Cedric. Finally Madame Pomfrey hauls them away. Cedric walks towards the Goblet. I grab his hand.
"You're entering?"
"Yep. Might as well go out with a bang."
"But, Ced, have you thought this out? You could die." I know how ridiculous I sound, but I'm nervous for him. I squeeze his hand, and he squeezes back reassuringly.
"I won't. Instead, I'll win that prize money and give you some." He ruffles my hair, and I'm not nervous anymore.
"Well, as long as you share the money." I smile and squeeze his hand before letting go.
He steps inside the ring and puts his name in the goblet. People cheer just like when Fred and George were fighting.
"You did it!"
~~~~
I jump into Cedrics arms. "YOU DID IT!"
"What, you didn't think I could?"
"No, it's brilliant though, you just survived a DRAGON."
He sets me down. "I know."
"I'm a little worried about Harry, though." I admit.
"Me too."
~~~~
I run up to Harry and hug him. "YOU DID IT! You survived a Hungarian Horntail!"
"I know! Completely mental right?" Harry laughs.
I exhale. I was so scared my brother and my friend weren't going to make it. "I'm not going to lie to you, I thought that dragon was going to be the winner."
