"WHAT do you think about the Triwizard Tournament?" Cedric asked, Ellie. "I think it's a huge death trap." Ellie spoke, then started to tighten her tie. "Don't say that Ellie." Chase exclaimed, then tried to copy Ellie's answers. "She's right people have died." Cedric said. "Don't tell me you're thinking of entering?" Ellie queried. Cedric looked down. "Oh my — Well it's your decision to make and if you want to then do it." Ellie shot. Then she grabbed a new piece of parchment and started scribbling violently. Chase looked at Cedric for a moment. "I- I don't want you to die," Chase muttered. Then thought. "but I do want you to win." He added. Cedric then gave him a smile. Chase then looked at Ellie's parchment and saw that she wasn't even writing anymore. At first it started with writing an essay, then it turned into random scribbles. Chase grabbed the quill from her hand and Ellie glared at him. "Sorry, but you were scaring me." Chase explained. Ellie rolled her eyes then looked at Cedric. "If you put your name in that goblet I just hope you realize all the risks you're taking." She said. Cedric nodded at her. "I'm very aware." Cedric assured her. Ellie nodded but then grabbed another piece of parchment. "Give me my quill back." Ellie shot. Chase chuckled and handed her the quill. "So, did you guys have Mad Eye Moody yet?" Cedric asked them. Ellie shook her head. "We have his class tomorrow." She explained. Cedric looked at the two. "Well good luck he knows his stuff. And when I mean he knows he knows." Cedric advised. "That's not intimidating at all." Chase muttered. Ellie rolled her eyes at him. She turned around and saw Daphne. "Hey." Ellie greeted. "Hey." Daphne replied, then sat down. Cedric smiled at her. "Hi." He spoke. Chase and Daphne glared at each other. Normally Daphne would complain. Chase would say something about how he didn't want to be near Daphne. However, this time they just glared at each other and didn't say a word. "Are they still fighting?" Cedric asked. "He started it." "She started it." The two muttered and glared at each other. "Guys just knock it off already." Ellie exclaimed. "No! She's the one who's mad at me for no reason!" Chase shot. "Really? Telling Theo I wasn't his friend anymore. I was going to do that on my own!" Daphne shouted. Which caused people to look at them. "Look I'm sorry I just thought I was doing a good thing." Chase spoke. "Well you didn't." Daphne shot. "Okay I'm sorry!" Chase shot back. "Well I get that but I can't forgive you!" Daphne protested. "Well you should!" Chase spoke. "What's that supposed to mean?" Daphne asked. "You're stubborn!" Chase shot. Ellie and Cedric looked at each other while the other two were arguing. Cedric then sighed and looked at the two and stood up. Ellie shook her head because she knew what he was going to do. "That's it! You two need to stop fighting. You're both being ridiculous and very annoying!" Cedric yelled and Chase's eyes widened. They got stares from people in the library and Ellie just put her face in her hands. Then Cedric patted Chase. "Sorry for yelling." He apologized. Daphne just scoffed. "Fine." The two muttered at the same time. Ellie looked up and then put her head down from embarrassment. She loved her friends. The only thing she didn't like was when they had to bicker. She looked around and quickly faced Cedric. "That was a bit loud." Ellie spoke. Cedric just laughed at her. "At least they aren't fighting." Cedric smiled. She looked at Daphne and Chase. They weren't looking at each other. In fact they acted like the other wasn't even there. And for some reason Ellie thought it was worse. [][][] "DAPHNE, I think you're being paranoid." Ellie advised. "I am not being paranoid! I just don't have a good feeling about the tournament." Daphne exclaimed. "What are you talking about?" Ellie asked. "I don't know, I just have a bad feeling." Daphne admitted. Ellie just gave her a smile. "Well we just have to wait and see." Ellie replied. Daphne grinned and then linked her arms with Ellie's. "What are you doing?" Ellie queried. "It's what all the other girls are doing." Daphne replied. Ellie chuckled and rolled her eyes. "You are so weird." Ellie spoke. "Yet you still love me." Daphne exclaimed. Ellie rolled her eyes at her. "Shut up." She shot, and Daphne laughed. "Come on we have to meet Blaise and Luna." Daphne told her. "Right. What for again?" Ellie asked. "I don't know." Daphne replied. The two just started walking to the library. When Luna saw the girls she waved and Blaise nodded at them. The two sat down and Ellie took out one of her textbooks. "Why are you already studying?" Blaise queried. "Oh well sorry I wanted to get a head start." Ellie shot. "I think it's very nice." Luna explained. "You think everything's nice." Blaise replied. "That is true." Luna spoke softly. Then Ellie heard a noise. She turned to her left and saw Fred and George. They had dropped a box filled with papers. "What do you think those are?" Daphne queried. "No idea." Ellie replied. "So Ellie, you told me that over the summer that you got new neighbors." Luna spoke. "Oh yeah. I think it was a mum and her son." Ellie advised. Then she saw Brandon rush to the table. "Oh don't lie Ellie you definitely know it was a mum and her son." Brandon exclaimed, then Ellie slapped him. "What do you mean?" Blaise queried. Then Brandon jumped. "God Blaise, warn me the next time you speak!" Brandon shot, while Blaise glared at him. "Anyways this kid he's fifteen and he would randomly talk to Ellie. Then one day Ellie was just helping him around the neighborhood and he kissed her!" Brandon explained. "It wasn't a kiss!" Ellie shot. "Did your lips touch?" Luna queried. "Unfortunately." Ellie muttered. "Why didn't you tell me this!" Daphne shot. "I didn't think it was important." Ellie spoke. "What's not important?" A voice asked, Ellie turned around and saw the twins. However the voice who asked was Fred Weasley. "Ellie's first kiss." Daphne laughed. "It wasn't a kiss!" Ellie shot. Fred's eyes widened and George smiled widely. "You kissed someone!" George shot. "How many times do I have to say it wasn't a kiss!" Ellie exclaimed. "Did your lips touch?" Fred queried. "Unfortunately." She muttered. "Wow that sounds like one heck of a kiss." George smirked. Ellie glared at him and Fred just gave her a small smile. "Well at least there's one good thing that came out of that." Fred spoke. "What?" Ellie queried. "You've got more experience than Brandon." Fred smirked. "Hey!" Brandon shot. "He's not wrong." Ellie spoke. "I hate all of you." Brandon muttered. [][][] GEORGE sat in the Gryffindor common room watching Fred pace across the room. "I mean I just can't believe Elle already had her first kiss! It's really shocking." Fred exclaimed. "I'm not Ellie's really pretty." George spoke. "I didn't say she wasn't pretty I'm just shocked she had her first kiss already." Fred advised. "Why? You had your first kiss when you were in second year." George exclaimed. "Yeah but that was with." Fred started, but he forgot for a moment. "Angelina." George spoke. "Oh yeah. No wonder she had a crush on me." Fred replied. Then he shrugged. "Still I can't believe she kissed that random guy." He stated. Fred didn't know why but he felt a weird feeling when he thought of Ellie kissing that guy. Even though he knew she didn't like him. Considering she didn't know his name. "No way, you're jealous!" George shot. "No I'm not!" Fred spoke. "Yeah sure." George scoffed. "I'm not jealous!" Fred spoke. George rolled his eyes. "Are you sure?" George asked. "Yes." Fred muttered. Was he jealous? No. There was no way he could be jealous of some guy he didn't know. He just didn't like the idea of Ellie kissing someone she didn't like. That didn't mean he was jealous. Right? No. He wasn't jealous. Fred just sighed and plopped onto the couch next to George. George then stared at him. "You're insane." George spoke, then Fred glared at him. "Shut it." Fred muttered. Then a group of Gryffindor girls walked over and smiled. "Hey twins." One of the girls giggled. George's eyes widened but then he smiled. "Hey ladies." George grinned, which caused some of the girls to blush. "Well, it looks like we are the new Cedric Diggory." George added. Fred just shrugged and waved at the girls that blushed and giggled more. He sighed and sunk into the couch. "Hey, didn't we always want this?" George queried. "Yeah, when we were first years." Fred muttered. George rolled his eyes and Angelina Johnson walked in. "You guys are popular." She spoke. "Yes we are! Although I thought it'd be more exciting." George admitted. "What's up with you?" Angelina asked Fred. "Just tired." said Fred. "Okay well I'm positive you're lying however I don't care." Angelina spoke. "Whatever." Fred spoke. Angelina rolled her eyes and then George smiled. "Did you know that Ellie Smith already had her first kiss." George exclaimed. "Really? Only her first that's a shocker." Angelina admitted. "What's that supposed to mean?" Fred queried. "I'm just saying it's shocking that she hasn't kissed anyone else before." Angelina spoke. Fred just scoffed. "What do you mean Angelina?" George asked. "I don't know I assumed Ellie and Fred had at least kissed once." Angelina muttered. "What! No, she's... she's my friend." Fred shot. "Okay, calm down buddy." George spoke, then patted Fred's back. Fred just glared at George. "Sorry, we've never kissed." He spoke. "Okay well who did she kiss?" Angelina asked. "Apparently some boy who moved next door." George advised. Angelina nodded for a moment. "Okay then, we'll do you know his age at least?" Angelina queried. "He's fifteen, I asked Brandon Smith." George informed her. "Also I asked Rosie Smith about more information." George admitted. Fred looked up at him and Angelina quirked her eyebrows. "So, what is it?" Angelina queried. "Well his name Adam and he's French." George informed them. "Ugh, a French boy. I hate the French." Fred muttered. George smirked for a moment. "Why do you hate the French?" George queried. "There so mean." Fred exclaimed. Then Angelina leaned in George's ear. "He's so jealous." She whispered. George nodded and Angelina smiled. [][][] "I still can't believe you didn't tell us!" Cedric shot. "Yeah! And you know how nosy we are!" Chase shot. "Oh calm down it wasn't even a kiss!" Ellie exclaimed. "Did your lips touch?" Cedric queried. "Unfortunately." Ellie muttered. "Well then it was—." "Shut up." Ellie shot. Cedric laughed and Chase scoffed. "Do you even know much about him?" Cedric asked. "Rosie said his name was Adam and that he was French." Ellie informed. "I hate the French." Chase muttered. "Why?" Cedric asked. "They're so mean!" Chase spoke. Cedric laughed and Ellie rolled her eyes. "You two are over dramatic." Ellie exclaimed. "No we aren't, we're just curious." Cedric told her. "Fine what do you want to know?" Ellie asked. Cedric and Chase grinned. "So how did the kiss feel?" Cedric asked. "I don't know I mean he wasn't a bad kisser." Ellie exclaimed. "I bet he had experience." Cedric smirked. Ellie shrugged. "I suppose." Ellie spoke. "How did it even happen?" Chase asked. "Well he randomly kissed me." Ellie explained. "Was it romantic?" Chase queried. "Not really." Ellie admitted. Chase frowned and Cedric grinned. "Now if you excuse me I have to go find some peace and quiet." Ellie exclaimed. "Wait! We didn't finish asking questions." Chase shouted. Ellie just chuckled and started walking towards Astronomy tower. [][][] ELLIE sat in the Astronomy tower reading Frankenstein. Then she turned around as she heard footsteps. She saw a figure and smiled when she saw Fred. "Hey, I didn't think you were up here." Fred greeted. "I just wanted some quiet. Apparently once people find out you had your first kiss people have to know about it." Ellie exclaimed. Fred smiled and then sat down next to her. "The same thing happened to me in my second year." Fred told her. Ellie looked at him for a moment. "Really? I'm guessing it was Angelina." Ellie spoke. "How did you know?" Fred asked. "Well she probably didn't have a crush on you for nothing." Ellie exclaimed. Fred chuckled as he looked down at her. "So I know you may be annoyed, but how was the kiss?" Fred asked. "He was a good kisser but it just didn't feel right." Ellie exclaimed, and Fred nodded. "What can I say French boys are weird." Fred said, Ellie looked at him. "George asked Rosie." He exclaimed, and Ellie nodded. "I don't even think it counts as a kiss I didn't even kiss him back." Ellie told him. "Well your lips did touch so it was a kiss." Fred teased. "Shut up." She spoke, then he smiled. "Well I can bet one thing, you won't have to worry about seeing him again." Fred exclaimed. "That is true." She replied. Then she looked at Fred. "You know as much as I hate to admit it you're a great friend Freddie." Ellie admitted, she didn't realize but a small blush raised to her cheeks. However so did Fred's. "Thanks Elle, your a great friend too." He replied, then looked at her. "I think you got shorter." Fred teased. "Don't even start, you're just insanely tall." Ellie shot. "Wow, that was a good one." He smirked. Ellie just shrugged and gave him a smile. "I didn't know you were the only one allowed to crack jokes." Ellie teased. "Yeah well the thing is I'm the best." Fred spoke. "No, you're just cocky." Ellie replied. "What did I tell you about using words I don't understand. I even told you that in one of the letters I gave you over the holidays." Fred spoke. Ellie chuckled and then looked up at him. "What can I say it's hilarious when you don't know simple words." Ellie said. Fred rolled his eyes at her. "No but seriously what does cocky mean?" He queried. Ellie just gave him a smile and started to leave. "Wait Elle what does it mean?" Fred asked, then she started to leave. "Elle don't you dare leave!" He shot. Ellie just gave him a small smile and left. Fred smiled and then sat down. He sat there for a minute. Then he started to think of what Ellie was saying. Like how she thought Fred was a great friend. He knew that he felt the same way about her. However he couldn't help but wonder if they would ever be something more. No. They weren't. The only thing they were was that they were friends. And they will only ever be friends. Right? Yes. They will only be friends. Nothing more, nothing less. Just great friends. [][][] ELLIE looked over at her clock. 3:24 She couldn't sleep, she was busy thinking. Thinking about Fred. And what she said to him. They were only great friends. And they won't be anything more. The only thing is that whenever she saw him lately they would both act a bit different lately. She didn't know why. And it killed her to not know why. She then questioned a really weird thought. Would they ever be more than great friends? No. They were great friends. Nothing more, nothing less. Then why did she feel like there was something missing. And why was she thinking of Fred a lot more lately? Because she had been thinking about him. She groaned in frustration and tossed and turned more. Then eventually she fell asleep.
