Chapter 4: Peace At Last

Shivering, Maggie dug her hands in the pocket of her sweatshirt. She was feeling the same thing she felt in the Shrieking Shack. Fear, doubt, and anticipation all swam around her body, making her emotions very mixed. She was in the middle of the twins, a lantern in her hand and a dark tunnel set before them.

They had just entered in a passageway that was suppose to lead to the forbidden forest. "It comes out right behind Hagrid's hut." George said, excitement in his voice. He was looking down at a shabby peice of parchment in his hands.

Maggie, with every chance she got, tried to sneak a peak at the paper, but was always turned away by Fred. It was a map, she knew that much. Other than that miniscule fact, she was completely confused about it.

"It's a load of crap about the Triwizard Tournament and the age limit."

Fred said suddenly, making Maggie turn to look at him. He had a scowl on his face and his arms were crossed over his chest, which was covered in an odd looking sweater. "Uhm." She started, but was cut off by the other Weasley.

"You said it."

"Er-"

"Why an age limit? Why is 17 the magical number?" Fred shouted again, making Maggie wince. "Maybe because a 16 year old would die? Do you honestly think you're capable of doing the things in the tournament?" She fired back, looking skeptical at the boy.

Fred stopped in his tracks and stared at her. His brother, who had also stopped and taken to staring at her with wide eyes. Maggie felt a flutter of fear slide around her stomach, before passing completely.

"Are you saying we're not good enough?" Fred asked, his eyes growing dark with anger.

"NO! I'm just asking if you think you are or not. Because, I know I'm not. And, well...I was just..."

"Of course we're good enough!"

"If you can't even get across the age line successfully, what makes you think you can win the tournament?" Both boys opened their mouth to argue, but immediately closed their mouths.

"Uh huh. That's what I thought."

And without another word, they continued down the tunnel. Maggie shivered again and held the lantern in front of her, spying some beetles scurrying out of their path. "How much futher?"

"Not much. It's just around the corner." George said, folding the map back up and placing it between his arm and his side. They turned the corner that George had predicted, and came to a mossy looking curtain. There was a web spun in the corner of the opening, and water droplets were cast in it.

Maggie sighed and reached forward, seperating the moss to see a very darkened forest before her. The trees were thick, making it hard for the three to see far. "Well, this one is still open, lets check and see if the kitchen passage-way is." Fred said, turning to make their way back out into the castle.

!!

The three of them collapsed on the warm rug in the common room, drained and stuffed. It was nearly 10, and after checking two more passage-ways after the forest one, they were beat. Thankfully, the house-elves were generous enough to give them tons of food.

Maggie let her eyes close as a few other Gryffindors looked at them. Lee was still on his "date" and Fred and George said he would more than likely be back around midnight. He was out with a Ravenclaw girl.

Maggie sighed and thought about the Astronomy Tower. 'Why do they want to go somewhere that tons of people have been before?' Of course, she would love to go up there with someone who was willing to be there with her.

Just as she sat up, burping as she did so, Lee came strolling in, a frown on his face. "Have a nice time?" Fred asked, winking at his friend. "Shut it, Weasley." Was all the boy said before storming up the stairs.

"I guess not." Maggie said with a small giggle. As time ticked on, more and more people left the common room, and finally, it was just the three of them. Nearly one in the morning, Maggie was feeling surprisingly alive.

Was it that the twins put her in an odd, happy mood? Or was she just happy to be alone with them?

Whatever the reason, she was happy to finally have peace and not have to worry about their little pranks....
