Chapter 4 - Harry confesses

"Harry, are you sure your ok?" asks Fred as they walked up to the Common room.

"Yeah, why?" answered Harry too quickly that Fred started to stare at him.

"you have been looking white ever since we got to Hogwarts and I'm gonna keep on asking until you tell me what's wrong"

Harry didn't answer.

"come on you can tell me I won't tell anyone, I swear, if I do you can …. Hang me outside the Divination tower by my thumbs, ouch ok, don't, that it sounds too painful" Fred cringed at the thought. That made Harry laughed.

"fine ill tell you but it makes me sound like a idiot so you cant laugh" said Harry looking nervous. Fred looked confused.

"ok I won't laugh"

"fine I'm waiting for something bad too happen because I haven't had a normal year since I got here" said Harry looking at the floor.

"listen Harry" Harry looked up " If you wait for it to happen you can't enjoy the good parts while they last" said Fred smiling because he said something important without making a joke or laughing.

"I know but what about the Tri Wizard, I was right so how can I enjoy anything now"

"why haven't you told Ron or Hermione they are your best friends and I know they care about you"

"I dunno I guess the same reason I didn't want to tell you"

"they wont laugh Hermione is the most serious person i know and Ron couldn't make a joke to save his life" said Fred with a disgusted look. Harry laughed.

"you should of seen Hermione's face when your name was called out, it was the best" said Harry smiling.

"what was it like?" said Fred with a Grin.

"She looked like the time she got a E in charms" said Harry laughing.

"ha-ha really I can not wait for the first task we have to take a picture of the banner, best bet I ever made"

As they entered the common room there was cheers from everyone except Hermione who was sitting by the fire reading a book. Fred smiled and walked over to her, George followed.

"Hello" he said waving a hand in front of her face.

"What?" snapped Hermione.

"Are you going to congratulate Fred for making it into the Tri Wiz or are you gonna sit here and be moody for the rest of your life?" said George.

"sit here" answered Hermione not looking up.

"What is your problem there's Harry as white as snow" said Fred pointing at Harry who turned away "you who looks like you got slapped around the face" George laughed at the idea "and Ron who, who, well, you know, is Ron"

"Hey I'm great I'm, I'm" said Ron who was struggling to find a word that Describes him.

"Its hard isn't it?" said George with a grin.

"I'm moody because you didn't listen to me" shouted Hermione getting annoyed.

"No one listens to you" shouted Fred, who had enough of Hermione's loud voice.

"YOU WON'T LAST 5 MINUTES IN THAT TOURNAMENT, YOU DON'T LISTEN IN CLASS, IF YOU DIE" George shivered "DON'T COME BACK TO HAUNT ME" Fred was staring at George who couldn't look at him, he was white and he looked like he was about to burst into tears.

"I WON'T DIE" Fred voice boomed around the common room.

George couldn't take it anymore, he ran passed Fred and up to his Dormitory.

"no i won't, I know what I'm doing, did you really think I was gonna go into the tournament and make it up, for a start George wouldn't let me anywhere near the grounds if I didn't have a plan"

Hermione didn't answer. The whole common room was staring at her.

"well, Did you?, answer me Hermione"

Hermione looked up, Fred was pale, Hermione could tell he was worried about George.

"no" She muttered looking at the floor.

"good, I don't want to argue anymore, just accept it, I put my own name in the goblet, my decision, if you want to worry about someone,worry about Harry he didn't put his name in, now if you excuse me I have a brother to go to" Fred said looking sad, Hermione has never seen Fred this sad before.
