Cairo's POV

I sat next to Hermione in the Great Hall. We both had our noses buried in books. I was reading one of my favourite muggle books, Nancy Drew. It was a series about a girl detective and she got to solve tons of mysteries! She would be such a Ravenclaw if she were real.

"YEAH!"

Suddenly, Fred and George burst into the hall, each holding a small vial of potion. I rolled my eyes, slamming my book shut. They had been working on that aging potion ever since Dumbledore had announced how people could submit their names in the tournament. I glanced at the Goblet of Fire, which stood nearby, a glowing white circle surrounding it. That age line would definitely reject their names, no matter how many potions they took. Dumbledore drew it for Merlin's sake . . .

"It's not going to work," Hermione announced in a sing-songy voice.

"Oh yeah?" Fred asked, crouching next to her.

"Why's that Granger?" George asked, appearing on her other side.

Hermione rolled her eyes and pointed to the circle on the floor. "See this? This is an age line. Dumbledore drew it himself."

"So?" Fred asked.

"So?!" Hermione slammed her book shut, about to lecture them, when I jumped in.

"So a genius like Dumbledore couldn't possibly be fooled by a dodge as pathetically dim witted as an ageing potion," I sighed.

"Ah, but that's why it's so brilliant!" Fred insisted.

"Because it's so pathetically dim witted," George finished, grinning at his twin. They stood up, uncapping their vials of age potion.

"Ready, Fred?"

"Ready, George!"

"Bottoms up!"

"I wouldn't do that if you'd like to keep your clean-shaven faces!" I called in a sing-song as they hopped into the age-line.

Fred gave me a strange look, before he shrugged and put his name into the Goblet with his twin. I watched in amusement as they had about two seconds of gloating, and then were flung backwards. I put my book down and went to help them up. The best part of the whole thing was that they now sported identical long white beards. I shook my head and laughed along with them as I escorted them to the Hospital Wing.

George's POV

"Back again?" Madam Pomfrey shook her head. "I swear, you three might as well start living here."

"At least I'm not the one being stupid," Cairo muttered.

"Ah, we'd love to - " Fred began.

"But we have mayhem to cause elsewhere - " I continued.

"So we must decline, unfortunately."

Madam Pomfrey shook her head again and got to work fixing our beards. That's when I noticed a girl enter the room, also sporting a beard, looking embarrassed. When she saw us, she attempted to hide, but Cairo had already called out to her. "Do you need your beard removed too, or is this some new fashion statement that I'm unaware of?"

The girl shot Cairo a glare and slowly inched up towards us. Then I noticed her eyes. One blue, the other black. I immediately recoiled. Jadyn Zettair looked away, almost in a guilty way. But no, she's a Slytherin. She obviously doesn't feel guilty.

Madam Pomfrey finally finished on Fred's beard and moved on to me. Jadyn awkwardly sat next to Cairo, waiting to have her beard removed. Cairo began whispering with her. Once my beard was done, I wanted to leave, but Fred made me wait for Cairo, who was still talking with Jadyn, even as Jadyn was getting her beard removed. What surprised me the most was that Cairo was smiling.

Once Jadyn's beard had been removed, she and Cairo came over, Jadyn looking apprehensive. "Jadyn has something to say to you, George," Cairo stated, pushing Jadyn forwards. Fred gave her a glare that said, 'if-you-even-think-of-hurting-my-brother-again-you-are-so-dead'.

Jadyn visibly gulped. "I just wanted to say," she began, "that I'm sorry, George. I shouldn't have ever done that and it was wrong and . . ." Her eyes were beginning to well up with tears, freaking me out a bit. Then she started sobbing, as she tried to speak. "I'm such a idiot, I'm sorry! It's okay if you never forgive me ever, I mean that was pretty unforgivable! I'm sorry!"

Did my ears deceive me?! Was she actually apologising?! I mean, this is a Slytherin who had actually used an unforgivable curse! Maybe it was a trick. But Cairo seemed to believe her and Cairo was usually right. I guess everyone deserves a second chance, right?

"It's alright," I found myself saying, "I shouldn't have provoked you like that either."

"So," she sniffed, "are we, y'know, cool?"

"Sure, Jade," I said, causing her to glare at me, "we're cool."

Jadyn gave me a small smile. "One request though: don't call me Jade."

"Can't promise that," I laughed, causing Jadyn to giggle a bit. Fred, Cairo and I exchanged glances. Huh. I guess not all Slytherins are that bad.
