The next morning Grace woke Eliza up, and after they had both taken a shower and were dressed, they went to the Great Hall for breakfast. Eliza was relieved when they finally reached the bottom of the great stairs, because Grace complained about the school uniforms the whole way.

When they arrived at the Great Hall they saw Fred, George and Lee waving them over, so they walked towards their table.

"Good morning!" greeted Grace cheeringly.

"A very good – "

"—morning to – "

"—you too!"

Fred and George were taking turns talking again, knowing that it freaked Grace out.

"Grace, how can you be so bloody happy so early in the morning?" asked Lee groggily.

"I don't know! It's a gift."

"Well, keep that bloody 'gift' of yours down when I'm not completely awake yet, okay?"

"Fine, fine."


While they were eating their breakfast, Professor McGonagall, who was the Head of Gryffindor House, came by to conjure the schedules of the twins and Lee.

"So, Mr Jordan... Transfiguration, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Muggle Studies and Ancient Runes?"

"Yes Professor."

"Your 'E' on Ancient Runes was really unexpected, or at least, that's what Professor Babbling told me."

"I had some help studying, Professor," a blushing Lee said, looking at Eliza.

"Ah, so that's why. Miss Weber, best Ancient Runes student! But you and Miss Lions should go to your table, Professor Flitwick is also giving out schedules."

Eliza blushed at her comment, and waited for Grace to finish her breakfast before they could go the other Ravenclaws.

"Mr Weasley and Mr Weasley. Both of you have three O.W.L.'s... Potions, Charms and Defence Against the Dark Arts. I take it you will do those classes, but I highly recommend you talking to a few
teachers, do some extra work and take Herbology or Astronomy or something else. I thought you had gotten high marks on those subjects?"

"Yes Professor."

"We will try to get into Herbology and Divination."

"Alright, I'll see to it."

After she gave them their schedules she went further to some fourth years.

"Wicked! We've got Charms and DADA with the Ravenclaws!"

"And Potions is with all the houses. There aren't many who get an 'O' for that one."

"Well, we'll be getting our schedules. See you guys later!"

With that Grace and Eliza left, to get their schedules. They sat down next to Carmen and waited for Professor Flitwick. After he was done with Carmen, it was Grace's turn.

"Miss Lions. From the nine subjects you have taken last year, you only failed in one, like a true Ravenclaw. So do you want to continue the other eight?"

"Yes Professor. But I didn't get an 'O' on Potions so I will have to drop that one. I do want to take Transfiguration, Charms, DADA, Herbology, Divination and Muggle Studies."

"Alright. Here is your schedule! Now, Miss Weber... Nine O.W.L.'s! You make me proud of my house! I expect you want to follow through with Transfiguration, Charms, Ancient Runes and Potions? All 'O's! Which from the other subjects do you want to take?"

An uncomfortable Eliza answered with: "DADA and Arithmancy, please."

"That won't be a problem. Here you go!"

"Thank you."

Grace and Eliza compared their schedules. They were the same, except that Eliza had Potions, Ancient Runes and Arithmancy when Grace had Herbology, Divination and Muggle Studies.

"So, shall we go to DADA?"

"We shall," replied Eliza grinning.

They met the twins and Lee on their way there, and continued talking about their vacation, until the subject of the Triwizard Tournament was brought on, and George said:

"Fred, Lee and I decided to use an Ageing Potion to get past that age restriction."

Eliza immediately became worried again, so as to not voice her worries, she tried to think of something else until they reached the DADA classroom.

They had to wait for Professor Moody, but then they could enter and seek out a place.

Eliza and Grace sat next to each other, with Fred and George behind them and Lee and Alicia behind them.


The lesson wasn't one like they had before. Professor Moody, alias Mad-Eye Moody, was an ex-Auror and wanted to teach them about the Unforgivable Curses. Of course they had heard about them before, but he actually demonstrated them on spiders. Eliza felt bad for them, and dreaded the moment he was going to use the Imperiatus-curse on his students.

She could tell that the twins were very enthusiastic about him but she had her doubts, which Grace shared. After DADA, Lee and Eliza went to Ancient Runes and the others to Herbology. George talked to her about entering Herbology, and she agreed with him and gave him some last-minute information about plants.

The Ancient Runes classroom was right next to the Great Hall, so they all went to the Entrance Hall where they parted. The others went outside, while Lee and Eliza found a place in the classroom.

They sat next to each other in the middle of the room. Professor Babbling came in and looked at the students. There were only twelve of them.

"Hmmm, not many people dared to take N.E.W.T.-level Runes, I see. Well, this year we are going to do a lot more translation projects in pairs. Most of the translations will take place during the lesson. If you and your partner are unable to finish the assignment in the given time, it will be homework. I want everyone to seek a partner right now, preferably someone from a different House."

"Ehm Professor?" a boy from Eliza's House said, "there are seven Ravenclaws, so that isn't going to work."

"Right, that's why I said 'preferably'. Now, partner up please!"

Lee looked at Eliza and asked: "Be my partner?"

"Of course!"

"Thanks," Lee looked relieved, "I apologise in advance for my terrible translations."

"You're not that bad. If you want, we can spend some time outside the lesson on translations, since we probably don't have homework very often."

The rest of the lesson was spend at revising all that they had learnt in past years, and they didn't get any homework, as predicted. Eliza and Lee walked to the Great Hall, happy with the no-homework lesson and yearning for lunch.

"Do you want to sit with me at the Ravenclaw table for a change? The others will see us when they come in."

"Okay," nodded Lee and they sat at the table. Eliza grabbed some toast and pumpkin juice, and listened to Lee's ideas for new pranks this year. She was laughing when Grace, George and Fred arrived. George looked at her and smiled.

"You look really cute when you're laughing." Eliza got a weird feeling when George said that, which she tried to ignore.

Everyone gaped at him, including a red-faced Eliza and he blushed, but his brother saved him.

"Yes, I think so too. Don't you, Lee?"

"Sure," a confused Lee said, "really cute."

"Boys! Stop it! Eliza doesn't want to be called 'cute'!" Grace glared at the boys, before taking on another subject. "So, how was Runes?"

Eliza and Lee exchanged a look, at which George looked unhappy but Eliza pretended not to notice.

"Professor Babbling is bloody brilliant!"

"We won't have much homework this year, because we will translate as much as possible in the lessons," gloated Lee.

"Lucky bastards", grumbled Fred. "Professor Sprout took us in at Herbology, but we will have to work very hard to keep up!"

"I already told you guys that I would help you out," Grace rolled her eyes.

The rest of the lunch was spent with conversation about the twins' plans for their joke shop, and afterwards Grace and Lee left for Muggle Studies and Eliza and the twins went outside to the lake, as they had a free period.


"Double DADA and Double Herbology first thing on Mondays sure isn't something I enjoy," sighed Fred, as he plopped down under a tree. The other two followed his example and sat down.

"So, you wanted to have a serious conversation with us, El?" George recalled.

"Yes. About the Triwizard Tournament." Eliza was really careful with what she said, because she wanted the boys to understand her point.

"Are you completely sure you want to enter? People have died in this Tournament! And I don't want to have to worry about you for a whole year!"

"Relax Eliza," laughed Fred, "we won't die. And you don't have to worry about us you know."

"How could I not? You two are my best friends! I don't want you to die or get hurt!" Eliza was beginning to get angry now, and she could feel tears stinging in her eyes. , she thought and tried to look more determined.

I'm not going to cry

It looked as if Fred didn't know what to say anymore, and George, who had been rather silent during this conversation, didn't look talkative, either. Eliza decided to use her last trick.

"Look," Eliza sighed, "do you guys remember my birthday?"

"Of course, October 27th you'll be 17," George answered her, still with a faraway look in his eyes.

"Yes. And do you know what that means?" Eliza was beginning to get impatient. How long would it take for them to get it?

"It means, that I will be able to enter the Tournament, as I'll be of age before Halloween." And with that she left the boys flabbergasted.


A/N: Hi again! I tried to update yesterday, but I just didn't have enough time, so sorry about that! Anyway, how do you like this chapter? Do you think Eliza will enter her name in the Tournament? Do you think she should?
I have already planned out a couple of chapters, but I would love to hear your thoughts. So please review!

I will update again within a week, so keep reading :)
