Granger Love ➵ Fred Weasley

• Chapter 7 •

*Alinda's POV*

Today, the champions will be chosen. I quickly got up from my bed and looked at the mirror. This day will be different, I thought. I got my robe and clothes from my trunk and get dressed. I did my makeup and when I was satisfied with my appearance, I decided to go to the Great Hall.

When I went to the Common Room, I saw Fred and George sitting. "Hi, Al," George said, both twins getting up.

"Hey, I was going to the Great Hall. I'm starving, you know." I said, patting my stomach. "Go together?" George offered. "Sure!" We arrived at the Great Hall and had breakfast. "Are you excited for the selection of the Triwizard champions?"

"Yeah, very excited..." They were picking on their food. "Come on, cheer up!" Then I looked at my watch and I realized that Divination was starting in 3 minutes. "Oh, I have Divination class, see you!" I got up from my seat and waved at them without looking. I was almost late for the class but I got right on time.

"Hey, how are you doing?" Caroline said. She was also a friend of mine and we got along pretty well. She was a pure-blood. However, she didn't really thought it was important. You'll probably think she's a Slytherin but she chose to be in Ravenclaw. I thought she was a real Ravenclaw.

"Yeah, I'm good. There is the selection of the winners tonight!" I said silently.

"Yes, who do you think from Hogwarts will get chosen?" she asked enthusiastically. Professor Trelawney must have heard her because she said "Welcome, today you will predict the future with the dreams you saw recently. Dreams can show the future, so take a look!" right after her. She looked at me with an annoyed expression and I laughed.

"So, what do you have?" I told her and opened the book. "Uhm, I didn't saw any dreams since I came back to Hogwarts. Did you have any?"

"Well, I had this dream where I and Hermione were erasing our parents' memories and going to somewhere I don't know in summer. It sounds strange but it felt real though." I said.

"Okay, let's see," She was flipping the pages to find a "prediction" about my future. "It says that you'll lose someone but you'll be with someone you've never thought... What does that even mean?!" She was looking at the book like it is insane and I started to laugh.

We were at the Great Hall, talking about the tournament of course. "Well, I've done it! Just put my name in!" she said, grinning. "You are kidding!" said Ron, looking impressed. "Are you seventeen, then?" asked Harry. "Yes, she is. She had her birthday last week!" I said.

"Well, I'm glad someone's entering from Gryffindor." said Hermione. "I really hope you get it, Angelina." I hugged her from behind.

"Thanks, Hermione." said Angelina, smiling at her. "Yeah, better you than Pretty-Boy Diggory!" said Seamus, causing several Hufflepuffs passing by to scowl heavily at him. I leaned over and smacked his arm.

"Don't say that. It is just because he can have a date but you can't." I told him coldly. "Sorry, sorry." he said while rubbing his arm where I had hit him.

The Halloween feast seemed to take much longer than usual. It was the second feast in two months and I didn't fancy extravagantly prepared food. I was just waiting for them to announce the winners.

At long last, the food disappeared from the table and there was a sharp noise withing the Hall. "Well, the goblet is almost ready to make its decision," said Dumbledore. "Now, when the champions' names are called, I would ask them please to come up to the top of the Hall, walk along the staff table, and go through into the next chamber," He indicated the door behind the staff table. "where they will be receiving their first instructions."
