The first task of the Triwizard Tournament is coming up in a week and it's all anyone is talking about.

Contestants must find a golden egg while battling a dragon. Grace still wonders how teachers can accept that this type of task takes place within the school.

Life with the two delegations at Hogwarts is quite different. And Grace isn't sure she likes it.

If it's not Roger who's busy walking Fleur Delacour to the classrooms, it's Ania who gets going and only has Bodgan Valov on her lips.

Classes are taken less seriously, quidditch is canceled, and Grace panics at the idea that her record is worse than the previous years and that this compromises her admission to the Harpies.

It is therefore in a bad mood that Grace Colten crosses the door of the Potions room and settles in at her usual office.

Today is the day of the test. Fred Weasley and her will have to make an elixir of euphoria. Grace has already prepared everything, the Brewing instructions written clearly on parchment paper.

She notices that Fred Weasley is not on time and sighs. Ania Johnson walks towards her, Snape having not yet arrived as well.

"G, I have news!" exclaims the brunette.

"Please tell me we all have to change partners and I can go with you or Roger."

"C'mon, Fred's not that bad !"

"Talking about me, ladies?"

Grace rolls her eyes at the sound of his voice and turns in his direction. She sees him throw his bag without any precaution on the desk and take out a crumpled piece of parchment and a half-broken quill. She glares at him and turns back to Ania.

"So?"

"I can't tell you here, there are too many eavesdroppers," she adds playfully, looking at Fred.

The latter approaches Grace, and leans on the desk before resting his head on his hand.

"C'mon, tell me all the gossip girls !"

Grace frowns and tries to move away a little while Ania snickers.

"Quiet," Snape's deep voice stops everyone and Ania returns to her place after telling Grace to join her in the courtyard after class.

Grace sighs and jumps when she sees that Fred is still way too close to her for her liking.

"Can you move, Weasley? You're invading my personal space."

He raises his arms in the air and sits back down correctly, his hands in his pockets and his legs outstretched.

"Forgive me Queen Colten if I have inadvertently entered your personal space. It is a mistake that I will not allow myself to make again. Please accept my most respectful apologies", he responds in a fake voice.

Grace thinks she could strangle him with her bare hands. She watches him run a hand through his hair. His large hands adorned with a few silver rings.

She inspires. "Just shut up and concentrate. Please."

"If it's asked so nicely..."

Snape reminds everyone of the instructions and that this test counts towards the final grade in Potions. Then he announces the start of the test. Everyone has one hour to make the elixir.
