"an ageing potion ought to do the job" george explained to luna as she along with harry and xavier were on their way to the owlery. luna had to send a letter to her aunt, whom she had gotten considerably closer to ever since the revelation.
xavier and harry were just there for the "vibes" as they said upon being asked why they were following her to the owlery and george was just...well george-ing about.
"its cute how you think that'll work" luna commented with a snicker while gently stroking red, her owl.
"oh- what?! no it'll work, have some faith will you?"
"seriously george, you think dumbledore is so old he'll forget to charm the cup against something as lame as an ageing potion?" xavier asked, amused
"exactly! it is SO lame. he'd never guess it"
"hey- i know this is off topic but is that champ and hedwig doing the..uh-" luna asked while pointing to the two owls with wide eyes
"WHAT THE FUC-" xavier and harry chorused
------
luna was sitting with hermione, ron and harry at the great hall. the triwizard cup was glowing blue at its glory in front of them, as they viewed several of-age students put their named chits in the cup, some excitedly, some nervously, some eagerly.
"YAAAAH GO ANGIEEEE!!!!" luna cheered one of her best friends on as she put her name in and immediatly engulfed her into a hug as soon as she stepped out of the age line.
"i didn't know you were of age,angelina?" harry asked
"very recently actually" she replied with a proud smile
"well i hope you get in, it'll be lovely to have a gryffindor house champion" hermione told the taller girl as ron congratulated and wished her luck as well.
other hogwarts students including cedric added their names in too and the golden quartet cheered each time.
krum, to no one's surprise too added in his name. the guy who had approached luna during dinner too was in his group of friends and before leaving both krum and the guy slightly gazed at luna and hermione.
"woah- i swear viktor krum just checked you out!" luna excitedly told hermione
"stop shouting! i don't need the boys to tease me because of your delusional statement. besides to me it seemed like YOU got checked out by mister parsley mix himself" hermione responded with a smirk
"who?" luna asked confused but before hermoine could respond,
a chaos of hooting and laughter barreled into the room announcing the arrival of luna's favourite twins.
"cooked it up this morning!" fred proudly presented to the group of 4 friends
"it is not going to work.." hermione said in a slight teasing tone without looking up from the book on her lap. fred sat next to her, while george next to luna-
"and why is that, granger?" george asked leaning towards luna as an attempt to speak pointedly at hermoine
"you see that line? that's an age line drawn by dumbledore himself. a mere ageing potion is definitely not going to fool it!"
"that's why it's brilliant-"
"because it's pathetically dim-witted!" the twins finished each other's sentences while linking their arms and downing the viles with the potion.
luna expecting a blast to take place as soon as the twins stepped onto the age line was surprised upon nothing happening when they did step inside. the twins swiftly put their names in and for a second luna's heart dropped to her stomach as she imagined one of her 2 very best friends going through all the life threatening challenges but her train of thoughts was soon met with the twins getting blasted off the age line along with their name-chits to the other side of the room.
luna quickly jumped out of her seat and dashed to their aid only to stop herself from doubling over with laughter upon seeing the sight of her friends with big royal white hair and beard. it got to the point where luna and lee had to hold each other up from falling to the ground due to laughing too much upon the sight of the twins with their bushy white beard wrestling one another.
the arrival of dumbledore snapped the hall out of their trance only for him to make fun of the twins' beard and lee and luna each taking one of the twins arm and dragging them to the infirmary.
"holy crap" lee busted out as soon as the four walked out of the hall
"this is awesome, i love it!" luna exclaimed
"yeah yeah we know, we're old and have beards haha so funny" fred rolled his eyes
"if only fred hadn't been dense enough to convince me this would work we wouldn't have made such fools of ourselves" george commented,
luna sensing another break of argument quickly chipped in, "oh please this is nothing, you guys make fools out of yourselves simply by existing every single day"
as she said this the four passed a classroom window and the twins stood still in front of it, staring at their reflection with wide horror-filled eyes,
"i thought george looked funny, I WILL LOOK LIKE THIS IN ABOUT 60 YEARS?" fred exclaimed
"not gonna lie.
we kind of make it work don't we, freddy?" george asked while checking all the angles of his visage on the reflection up front
"hell yeah we do" suddenly feeling better just by his brother's validation.
the 4 stared at their reflection in silence for about 10 seconds before bursting out laughing in chorus.
------
the students were sat in the hall, eagerly waiting upon the revelation of the 3 champions-
"FLEUR DELACOUR!"
dumbledore read out the name of the beauxbaton's champion
a shiny blonde haired girl (precisely the one that had ron and quite a good number of boys and even some girls weak in the knees) bound out of her seat and gracefully went upto the front and greeted the professors before disappearing into the backroom.
to say the participants of beauxbatons who were not chosen were sad was an understatement-
"holy shit they are actually crying-crying" lee said
"brother, that's wailing." george responded
"VIKTOR KRUM!"
"no surprises there!" ron beamed along with the cheers upon hearing his name
"how cute, ron supporting his future boyfriend!" hermione exclaimed to which ron simply rolled his eyes while the rest laughed
"and the hogwarts champion is.....CEDRIC DIGGORY!"
"HOLY SHIT, CED!" the voice of xavier was heard the loudest even among the riot of claps and cheers,
luna along with her friends too supportively cheered him on which he graciously met with a smile and nod to their table before bounding off towards dumbledore
"and that concludes-"
before dumbledore could finish, the cup roared again imitating the manner it was right before spitting out the name of a champion, the entire hall fell silent with confusion. suddenly a chit flew out and dumbledore swiftly grabbed it, only for his eyebrows to scrunch up upon reading the name inside
"...harry potter."
