Oh Freddie Boy.

The Second Task

It was the night before the second task and Addie was helping Fred and George study for their Potions exam next week. They needed to memorize all of the ingredients for several potions, so she was there to help them keep on track. The library only had a few empty tables as it was getting late. It had taken them most of the afternoon to try and study for the twins exam, they were barely able to get through memorizing one potion because they kept getting distracted. Addie started to get annoyed about an hour into it and threatened to leave but Fred wouldn't let her. He kept promising that they would pay attention to her but five minutes would go by and they would lose focus.

"Guys, c'mon! We have been here for almost three hours trying to get you to study, you're both making me crazy... Freddie I love you dearly but I'm going to kill you." Addie rubbed her temple as the twins decided that it was the perfect moment to sing opera. She was used to their crazy antics and she was usually part of them, but when it came to studying she took it very seriously and they did not. The twins still managed to have very good grades for how little work they did outside of classes. After the twins sang their song they sat back down to join Addie.

"So, who do you thinks going to win the task tomorrow?" Asked George, twirling his quill between his fingers.

"Honestly, probably Krum, but don't let Harry know." Replied Addie at a whisper.

"Oh we will." Teased the twins in unison. She threw her hands up at them, making them laugh. "I think Harry has a pretty good chance. Ron told us that the next task takes place in the Black Lake, that Harry has to find the Merpeople and take back what was stolen from him. So we've played a game with Harry, you see, we've been swiping things from his drawers to freak him out." The twins then began pulling things out of their pockets that were Harry's. Addie's jaw dropped when they pulled out his glasses.

"You guys stole his glasses! He needs those to see! How long has he not had them?" Laughed Addie amazed at how far the twins had gone.

"We stole them just before he came here, I'm sure he's still looking for them. It's quite funny!"

"You two need to go back to the the common room and give those to him! Right now!" She was trying to hold back her laugher but it was too funny.

"Fine, fine. We'll go! We will see you tomorrow at the task right? George and I are going to be collecting bets so we'll meet you at the lake." Fred kissed Addie goodnight and left running after George, leaving Addie to pick up her books before heading out. As she walked out of the library she was stopped by Professor McGonagall.

"Hello Miss Stewart, It's lovely too see you!"

"Hello Professor, How are you this evening?" Addie grinned at the older witch who was looking rather anxious.

"I am well my dear. I am just trying to stay warm in this cold weather." She smiled at Addie who was intently listening, "I hate to bother you but could I have a word with you in my office?" Addie agreed and followed after her, curious as to what was going on.

The second task was today and the whole school couldn't focus on any of their classes, everyone was too excited. Ruby and Frankie hadn't seen Addie since yesterday and just assumed she was with Fred. They made there way down to the lake hoping to find her there. When they were walking down the hill they ran into Fred and George, "Hey boys!" Frankie called out catching their attention from collecting a third years bet.

"Hello ladies!" They chimed in unison. Fred noticed that Addie wasn't with them, "Hey, Where's Addie?"

"Wait, what? I thought she was with you Fred?" Ruby responded in a slight panic.
