Flitwick wasn't kidding when he said all of our teachers are expecting us to use non-verbal spells, and by October that's all any of my friends are focusing on. That and the arrival of the two other schools.

"Have you two idiots figured out a way to get your names in the draw yet?" I ask George and Lee after our potions class Monday morning.

"Yes but that is very secret and confidential information. Only important people get to know." Lee says matter of factly.

"Oh, important people like George's long term girlfriend of nearly four years?" I say turning around and walking backwards out of the dungeons so I can see them both.

"We figured out an ageing potion that should work. All we have to do is age up a few months and we're laughing." George says. "We can brew enough for you to love if you've changed your mind."

"Absolutely not George Weasley. I'm still not the biggest fan of you cheating the system like this." I turn back around so I can actually see where I'm walking. There's a group of students huddled around a piece of parchment that's hung up on the wall.

George, Lee and I head over and a few of the younger students leave so we can actually see it.

Triwizard Tournament

The delegations from Beauxbaton and Durmstrang will be arriving at 6 o'clock on Friday 30th of October. Lessons will end half an hour early.

"Its happening!" I sing.

Harry and Ron push up to the front of the group so they can read it too. "Brilliant! It's potions last thing on Friday, Snape won't have time to poison us all!" Harry says.

"Only a week away! I wonder if Cedric knows, think I'll go and tell him..." Some little Hufflepuff kid exclaims.

I turn away from the parchment and go back over to George and Lee. George doesn't look very happy, "Pretty boy Diggory is competing?" George says.

"Seriously Weasley, you gotta get over this jealousy thing you got going on against Cedric. What has he ever done to you?" Lee says looking at his friend.

"Flirts with my girlfriend every chance he gets. And now he might be winning a thousand galleons for the hell of it." George grumbles.

I peck George on the cheek and he smiles a bit but he still doesn't look too pleased with the whole situation.

The next week flies past. Every spare hour that we have, my friends and I are in the library writing compositions till our hands cramp and then practicing charms and jinx's till we can't see straight. But the night of the thirtieth was one for the books.

We got out of Herbology a half hour early so we can go meet the students of Beauxbaton and Durmstrang at the front of the castle like we were told. We follow the swarm of students running through the corridors to see them.

"I wonder if they are anything like us?" Emma says.

"What do you mean anything like us? Course they're like us. We are all wizards after all." Fred says back to her. Recently Fred and Emma have been acting more flirty with each other but the rest of us don't think it would be wise to say anything about it.

"I just mean, maybe they do lessons differently, or speak differently."

George laughs at Emma and Fred bickering behind us. "Out of all the things Hogwarts has thrown at us over the past few years, this one takes the cake." George says to me.
