crashing down // Fred Weasley

Dragons

"Sophie Lily Potter!" Harry roared entering the common room Saturday afternoon.

Sophie had been chilling with Fred and George all morning watching the both of them go over their puking pastilles in the common room.

"Soph your in trouble." George laughed.

"When were you planning on telling me?" Harry asked angrily as he sat beside his sister.

"I haven't a clue what your talking about Harry James Potter." Sophie retorted closing her book from defence against the dark arts class.

"You know exactly what im talking about." He huffed. "I've just been to Dumbledore and guess what he told me?"

"That there's four champions?" Sophie asked like she had no idea what was going on.

"Soph your not prepared for this tournament." Harry reasoned.

"Wait your taking part?" George asked cluelessly.

"You didn't tell him?" Sophie turned to Fred.

"You knew!?" Harry yelled at the twins.

"Woah mate calm down." Fred said. "And no because, i wasn't suppose to know." Fred smiled sarcastically. "I figured if you didn't wanna tell me then why would you wanna tell anyone else."

"Let's rewind a minute." Harry waved his hands around. "So you went to Dumbledore and told him you were going to take part after i told you not to and then told Fred about it and left me to find out myself."

"Cedric knows too." Sophie said.

"Soph!" Harry yelled.

"Harry, look i get it. Im the new girl here but why does that mean i can't do anything?" She said.

"You can Sophie but entering yourself into a tournament, a life threatening one isn't the way to start." Said Harry as he ran his hand through his already messy hair.

"Well i can't just sit there and watch you enter can i?" Sophie said.

After at least an hour of arguing Sophie managed to sneak out of the common room and meet up with Cedric. He had invited her to Hogsmeade with him and they had gone to the Three Broomsticks so Sophie could try a butterbear.

"It look's like pee." Sophie said squinting her eyes at the cup in her hand.

Cedric just giggled before taking a swig of his own. "Yeah but it doesn't taste like it." He laughed.

"Yeah to you." She said swirling the cup around. "And why is it so thick?" She asked.

"Oh my god Soph." Cedric laughed. "Just try it."

Sophie slowly raised the glass to her mouth and smelt the liquid inside pulling a face at it's scent. "Well." She shrugged. "I might die soon anyway." And she took a swig of the drink regretting it instantly. She practically threw the cup back onto the table spitting the remaining liquid from her mouth back into the cup.

"That was gross Sophie." Cedric giggled even more. "And don't say that, your not going to die."

"Why would you make me try that." She said in between gulps of water. "That was disgusting." She laughed.

"Here try these." He said handing her a box of something like jelly beans.

"Bertie Bott's every flavour beans." Sophie red. "I don't think so." She huffed giving the box back to the boy.

"Oh come on stop being so dramatic." Cedric laughed.

"Dramatic?" She yelled. "You literally just tried to poison me." She joked dramatically proving his point.

"You really are strange."

"Your strange."

After spending all day in Hogsmeade with Cedric, the sun had finally set and the pair were heading back to Hogwarts for dinner.  When they entered the hall they said their goodbyes and headed towards their housed tables. Ron wasn't speaking to Harry and Harry wasn't speaking to Sophie so while he was sat alone and Hermione was sat with Ron and Ginny, Sophie sat with the twins and Lee.

"We've been looking for you all day." George said as she sat down.

"So has Harry." Fred added.

"Sorry guys I was in Hogsmeade all afternoon." She said taking a forkful of potatoes.

"Ohh have you been on a date with Diggory." George cooed.

"George instead of always saying I'm with Cedric why don't you admit your feelings for Lee?" Sophie retorted sticking her head in the air with a smile earning a giggle from Fred and Lee.

"Shut up." George huffed and continued eating his food.

"So do you know what the first task is?" Fred asked.

Sophie just shook her head before Hermione tapped her on the shoulder. "Ron said that Seamus told him Pavarti said Hagrid was looking for you."

"Hagrid looking for me?" Sophie asked. Hermione just nodded and on that note Sophie took one last bite of potatoes before leaving the hall and venturing off to Hagrid's hut.

"Stay behind me." Hagrid whispered.

Sophie had found Hagrid just on the edge of the forbidden forest. He had led her straight through and into a clearing where he met Madam Maxine.

Sophie was following the two through the forest before they came to a stop. A loud roar was heard from ahead to which Sophie crawled out from beside the half giant to take a look.

"Dragons." She muttered watching four caged dragons breathing fire at the bars. "Cool."

"Cool?" Hagrid laughed. "You are an odd one Potter"

"I've always loved the idea of dragons, there amazing creatures." Sophia stared in awe at the cages. "They better not make us hurt them."

"I'm pretty sure they'll hurt you before anything." Hagrid laughed. "You not worried?"

"A little." Sophie admitted. "But if I'm positive then I will learn more and therefor I have the upper hand. I'll be okay." She said.

"I like your attitude." Maxine said. "Consider transferring to my school?" She joked.

Sophie just laughed at her before turning back to the dragons. There were four and what she had already read there was a Swedish Short Snout and a Chinese Fireball, a Welsh Green and a Hungarian Horntail.

The Hungarian horntail was the most vicious from what Sophie had red. It had sharp spikes all down its tail and could breath fire up to 50 feet.

Sorry for the small chapter again, it was a filler chapter!

Hope your all having a good day :)
