The next day, Frieda, Evie and Ollie were sitting with a few other students right by the Goblet of Fire. "And you're sure you want to put your name in it? I mean, isn't it gonna be dangerous? What if you hurt yourself?" Frieda was anxious. Her best friend wanted to participate in a potentially deadly Tournament and he was not even a tiny bit scared.

"Of course it'll be dangerous. But it'll also be fun." "Fun? Are you kidding me? You are risking your life for fun?" Evie joined the conversation "Oh don't be dramatic Frieda. He's not gonna die. He probably won't even take part in the first place. He's such a whimp." Ollie playfully slapped Evie's arm. "I'm not a whimp. Actually I'm putting in my name right now."

He stood up and approached the Goblet when he got interrupted by a dirty blond buy with a Hufflepuff uniform. Cedric Diggory. When Fred and George were Evie's enemies, he was Ollie's. Whenever there was something Ollie was good at, Cedric was better. Quidditch, classes, girls. They always competed and Ollie was always second.

Cedric made his way to the Goblet. He hesitated at first but put his name in nevertheless. The hall was roaring and all of the Hufflepuffs were congratulating him. And not only them. Also a certain brown haired Ravenclaw girl went up to Cedric to shake his hand.

Ollie disappointedly went up to the Goblet and put in his name as well. Frieda smiled even though she was now even more scared than before. She gave her friend a firm hug "Good luck. I'm proud of you.," she said. "Thanks. At least one of you supports me.," Ollie snorted as he looked over to Evie who was basically drooling over Cedric. "She's gonna come to her senses when you get chosen. No need to be jealous." "I'm not jealous of that little prick." "Sure.," Frieda said amused.

After everybody calmed down a bit the twins also entered the hall. "We made it everyone. We made an Ageing Potion." The students cheered for their schoolmates. Frieda leaned towards her friend "That's not going to work in a million years.," she muttered.

"Why not?" "Dumbledore made an age line. As if he didn't think about an Ageing Potion when he did. They already told me about their plan during detention and George even asked me for help. But before I could suggest something better, Fred said that they won't need help from a little Hufflepuff. So I shut up to let them fail." Ollie laughed. "Frieda, who would have thought you could be mean like that?"

Since they were not paying attention the duo did not notice how the twins put their names in and how it seemingly worked. The only thing they noticed was that a loud sizzle and a bright light came out of the Goblet of Fire and the the two gingers were catapulted away from it.

When they came to a Fall beards grew on the twin's faces. The whole hall was roaring with laughter. Evie walked up to her two friends, tears coming out of her eyes. "This is so much better than anything I could have thought of. And you know what the best part is? They did it to themselves."

"I knew you would love this.," Frieda said beaming at her friend. "Wait, that was you?," Evie asked in awe. "Well not really. I just didn't hold them back when they told me about their plan." "Never underestimate a little Hufflepuff.," Ollie said giving his two best friends a high five.
