"they don't know about the things we do."
Harry
Everyone is watching the people old enough to do the tournament put their name in the Goblet of Fire. I watch as Cedric's friends push him toward the Goblet and he puts his name in. It sucks that we have to be 17 to participate. Ron would love to do this.
"Eternal glory... Can you imagine that?" Ron says, circling around the age line on the floor and sitting with Ann and Hermione.
"I have some insane news," Hermione says as Ann glares at her through the corner of her eye. "Annelise is dating Preston Malfoy!"
"Malfoy's brother? Ew!" Ron says in disgust. I make a face with the same passion.
"It isn't that serious! I like him, he likes me. No laws are being broken!"
"Makayla would disagree! Of all the brothers she has, him?" Hermione says.
"It's a new thing!"
"What happened to Jamie?" I ask. "Or your crush on Mat—"
"Shut up!" she interrupts. "It wasn't a crush, he's just good looking!"
"Uh huh."
Makayla walks in with the Weasley twins. The twins abandon her so they can run in, making their grand entrance. They get claps from nearly everyone in the room. The twins are holding vials of some potion that they had cooked up just now.
As the people in the room cheer, Hermione looks up from her book, shouting, "It's not going to work~"
They sit on either side of her. Fred asks, "Why's that, Granger?"
She sighs, setting her book down and pointing out the age line. "That's an age line. Dumbledore drew it himself. He isn't going to be fooled by something as pathetically dimwitted as an aging potion."
"But that's why it's so easy," George says, letting Fred finish.
"Because it's so pathetically dimwitted!" Fred finishes, standing up with George.
"Ready, Fred?" George asks.
"Ready, George."
They open the vials of aging potion and twist their arms around each other—both of them saying, in unison, "Bottoms up!"
They drink their potions and jump into the circle. Nothing happens. The students around start clapping as Fred and George put their names into the cup. Not long after, the cup spits their papers with their names on them out and launches them just outside the ageline, making their potions backfire as their hair turns gray and they both start growing white beards.
"You said—!" George starts.
"You said!" Fred argues.
They start wrestling on the floor as the rest of the students laugh. I notice Makayla finally breaks a smile.
