Alone BOOK 2 All the Stars

Chapter 10: Third task

Juliet

It's the third task and Dallas and I are heading down to the quidditch pitch.

"So are you going to sit with your boyfriend?" She says wiggling her eyebrows.

"Would you stop," I laugh shoving her, "I kinda want to but I don't know if he wants to."

"But you're dating." Dallas presses on.

"Yeah but we haven't even been together a whole month."

"Dude it's not like you're saying I love you or getting engaged. You're just sitting next to him. It's not a big deal. I'm sure he'd be thrilled if you sat next to him. "

"Hello ladies," two voices say behind us as we reach the pitch.

"Speak of the devils," Dallas says smugly.

"I'm hurt Dallas." George fakes.

"We're aren't devils. We're angels," Fred adds smiling at me while wrapping an arm around my waist pulling me closer.

"Sure. Sure." Dallas retorts.

"The task is about to start let's do find seats." Fred says looking at me.

"Ok," I blush as he takes my hand and pulls me towards the stands.

We find for empty seats and sit down. Fred and George are on the outside while Dallas and I sit in between, with me sitting next to Fred.

Dallas and I spot Bailey, sawyer, Ellie, and Steven a few rows away and we wave at them.

Shortly after we sit down Dumbledore comes out and announces that the task is a maze and the first person to find the Cup hidden in the maze wins.

The cannon goes off and the game begins. The stands are buzzing with excitement and wonder about who will win with Cedric and Krum being the favorites.

It's been at least 30 minutes when red sparks fly up from the maze. Shortly followed by a very disheveled fluer. I guess it was just to much to handle.

A few minutes after fluers retreat another set of red sparks come up this time with Krum retreating. This is a major upset and surprise for a lot of people.

Then the stands go into a low as no one else has come out and nothing exciting has happened.

"What if a person pulls out again. Does the one still left in the maze automatically win even if he doesn't find the cup?" Dallas wonders.

"That's a good question little boy that I don't have an answer too." George says earning a slap from Dallas about the little boy comment.

"I don't think your family likes me very much." Fred whispers into my ear. His breathe hot causing me to blush.

"Why would you say that?" I look up at him curiously.

"They're giving me death glares." He responds nodding a few stands away. 

I look in the direction and see Draco and Ryan both glaring at Fred. I shot them one of my own and they look away.

"There. Now they won't be staring at us." I smile.

"You're something else." Fred says shaking his head with a smile on his face.

A few minutes pass and Harry and Cedric appear with the cup. Immediataly the band plays and every one cheers. Until Harry starts yelling. Words I can't really make out. Fred and I both stand up but me being short I can't see so I sit back down.

"What's happening?" Dallas asks.

"Cedric's dead!" Fred says in monotone.

"What?" Dallas and I respond.

"He's dead." George repeats. "Harry is saying you know who did it."

"That's not possible he's dead." Dallas says, "right?"

Fred and George look at each other and I can see they don't believe he's dead.

"What are we going to do. If he's back. He's going to come after us all. We're going to die." I say and start hyperventilating.

"Hey hey," Fred says sitting down and grabs my hands. "It's fine. Everything is going to be okay. I'll protect you."

Fred pulls me into his chest holding me tight. In His arms I feel safe. Like nothing can touch me. That it's just him and me and there is no else in the world. I just want to stay in them forever but I now that I can't.

I pull away to look up at Fred. He's face is smiling full of reassurance. I give a smile back.

"As much as I enjoy watching you too get all mushy I want to go inside." Dallas says.

"Then go inside." I reply still looking at Fred.

"Ok Dallas put it politely but  I am not that nice. We are very uncomfortable with you two so if you want to continue what ever the bloody hell this is go get a room." George says showing Fred.

"Hey!" Fred exclaims standing up.

"Dallas warned ya." George shrugs.

I just smile and stand. Fred stretches his hand out and I take it. The four of us making our way back to the castle.
