A/N: I'm surprised no one noticed, in chapter sixteen I wrote that Harry, Ron, and Hermione were stopped at the entrance of the Great Hall by Karkaroff and Krum, but neither were at Hogwarts at the time. I apologize for this mistake. Read and Review! :D

.:Chapter Eighteen:.

My first month of school was defiantly one to remember. Moody's class was so amazing that students didn't know if they should run away, or worship the ground he walked on. Fred, George, and I played so many pranks it was hard to keep up with how many.

At the end of September, I asked Harry if I could borrow his invisibility cloak. I promised I wouldn't tell anyone where I got it from. I flowed a Slytherin to the common room. I went back the way I came. Once I was far enough away, I coated the whole corridor in black ice. I could hear Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle were making their way down the steps. I put my back to the wall, and watched the show. Their feet went right out from underneath them. Crabbe and Goyle went sliding down the hall, pick up speed. Malfoy slowly slid, he must not have weighed enough. I ran up the steps, I couldn't hold it in anymore.

This was the best start of term I've ever had. September turned into October faster than I would have thought. The next day was Halloween, so we got out of class really early. The Beauxbatons and the Durmstrang students would be arriving tonight. Hooch and McGonagall had talked to Dumbledore about letting some of us use the Quidditch Pitch, he agreed. Once the Champions were selected we can play as much as we want.

I didn't pay any attention to any of my lessons. I had double charms first, with the rest of the Gryffindor's. Flitwick let us play games because he couldn't hold any of our attentions. Fred, George, and I sat in the corner. I taught them how to play 'Go Fish.'

"It's a Muggle card game. You take seven cards, if you have four of a kind, only the numbers or letters, then you put them down. Then you ask the other two if they have a card. If they don't, you go fish," I explained. Lee Jordan, Angelina, and Alicia joined in. Fred and George couldn't grasp the concept. I was laughing so hard I almost fell out of my seat. Fred caught me, pulling me into his lap. I blushed, giggling. Fred held up his cards. "Er- Fred, I can see your cards."

"That's okay, love," He kissed the top of my head. Everyone in the room seemed to have seen this. "What? Can't a guy kiss his best friend on the head?" He said loudly enough for everyone to hear. Fred wouldn't let me leave his lap for the rest of the class. He also held my hand to lunch, his arm was around my shoulders. I could see Eddie looking extremely glum at the Ravenclaw table. He came over to the Gryffindor table every day to talk to me, but today he didn't. I walked with Fred and George to Defense Against the Dark Arts, as usual. Moody's class was amazing, as usual. History of Magic was boring, as usual. Getting out early was amazing though.

I walked to the Gryffindor common room with Fred. George was with Lee, doing who knows what. I was walking down the stairs from my dorm when Fred almost attacked me. "Marie, can I talk to you?" I was slightly taken back.

"Sure." I followed him out of the common room, walking towards the entrance hall. The students hadn't congregated there yet, so we were alone. He took me across the grounds, as far from the castle as possible. "You're not taking me out here to kill me are you?" I joked.

"No, I just need to talk to you," he laughed. He finally stopped when the trees blocked the castle completely. He still didn't say a word.

"Okay, Fred, just tell me," I urged. I was starting to get butterflies. I didn't want to get the wrong idea, and have my hopes crushed.

"Okay. Er-" He started. Before I knew it, he was snogging me .I was so shocked I almost forgot to kiss him back. Almost.

His lips were so soft. Pushing mine along with his. His fingers ran through my hair, slowly moving to my lower back. Pulling me closer, he deepened the kiss. I was so lost in Fred's lips, I didn't hear George call my name.

"Marie, wake up," he said.

"Huh?" I had fallen asleep during History of Magic. Binns had just let us go.

"We're going to be late if you don't get up now," Fred said. I felt like crying. My dream was prefect. I couldn't move. Fred put his hand on my shoulder, but I shook it off.

"Bathroom," I muttered, running off. I couldn't face Fred just yet. I didn't know what was wrong with me. Why was I so upset about a dream? I decided I didn't want to know. I went to the bathroom, like I said I was. Maybe the walk would do me some good. But the feelings in the dream kept poking at my brain. It seemed so real, it almost hurt. I tried harder to push the memory as far away as possible.

I went to the farthest bathroom from Gryffindor tower, while it's still possible to make it to the entrance hall on time. I passed Harry, Ron, and Hermione. They stopped to ask where I was going. I told them I just needed some fresh air and some time alone. Once they left, there were the last students I saw. I could hear my foot steps echo off the corridor. It was eerie. I had a strange feeling like I was being followed. The hair on the back of my neck stood on end. Suddenly, the bathroom didn't seem that important.

I ran back to the common room as fast as I could with a bag full of books. I was afraid that everyone would be gone by the time I reached the Fat Lady. I was in luck though, Fred and George waited for me.

"Where the bloody hell did you go?" George asked, taking my bag for me while I caught my breath.

"I told you," I answered through deep breaths, "The bathroom."

"Which one? The one in North Tower?" Fred joked.

"Yep," I replied, taking my bag back from George. I walked straight passed them, up to the girls dormitory. They tried to follow, but the stairs turned into a slide. I fell onto my back and slid down with them. I landed awkwardly on them both. My earlier emotions forgotten, we all fell into uncontrollable fits of laughter.

After many attempts at standing up, I finally got to my feet to take my bag to my dorm. Fred and George, on the other hand, couldn't get off the floor, they were laughing so hard.

"We're going to be late," I whined when I got back down to the common room. I almost had to drag them out of the room. When the portrait door opened, McGonagall was standing on the other side.

"The rest of the school and I have been waiting for you three to join us to welcome our guests," She said, her smile so fake, it wasn't even funny. Fred and George straightened up, because they were intimidated or because they were mocking McGonagall, I didn't know. But, if I were betting, I would say the latter. I on the other hand, didn't want to get a detention this soon in the school year, bowed my head, and followed McGonagall. Fred and George copied me. They were having too much fun with it.

Lee, Angelina, Katie, and Alicia were all standing next to a short wall, slightly away from everyone else. As the twins and I started walking towards them, I heard some one call my name. It was Eddie. He was standing with Cho Chang and some of her friends. I stopped, turning towards them, when Fred and George called my name. I almost thought about going with Eddie. The memory of Fred and George talking about me over the summer popped into my head. Though I felt a million times better, I was still feeling resentful towards Fred. But, I couldn't leave George, Katie, Angelina, Alicia, and Lee. They didn't do any thing.

I waved to Eddie, running towards him. "Hey, Eddie! What's up?" I grinned.

"Hey, Marie. Would you like to stand with us?" Eddie said, returning my grin.

"I was planning to hang out with them," I said pointing to the others.

Eddie didn't skip a beat, "Then go hang out with them." He smiled, giving me a quick one armed hug. "See you later!" I made my way back to my other friends. Fred was sitting on the wall, George leaning on it next to his twin. Their faces still brought an awful feeing to my stomach, so I stood on the opposite side of the wall with Lee. He put his arm around me, grinning. I smiled.

The wait for Durmstrang and Beauxbatons was ridiculous. I started shivering, so Lee held me tighter. I snuggled against him, taking his warmth.

Beauxbatons arrived first. The prissy students running into the castle to get warm. Everyone was looking over the Dark Forest for another horse drawn carriage, when the lake started to empty, well, that's what Lee thought. He was freaking out, yelling in my ear. I almost punched him in the head, but I controlled myself. Just when I thought Lee wouldn't shut up, a mast came out of the middle of the whirl pool.

I had a chance to clear my mind during dinner. The dream was way to real, then being scared for no reason in some random corridor. I was falling apart over a dream. I didn't hear a word Dumbledore said about the Triwizard Tournament, I figured the twins would tell me everything later, so I concentrated on my dream. I thought back to my divination's book. Was this dream a foredream? I would have to wait until after dinner. Having some sort of clarification made me feel better.

When I finally started to listen, Dumbledore was bringing the Goblet of Fire out. I could see Fred's eyes glinting. I hadn't realized I was sitting between him and George. George was facing Dumbledore, but I was more than positive his expression looked just like Fred's. I listened to Dumbledore explain the age line.

I was going to hid in my dorm until class the next morning. I had to hear Fred and George talk about tricking the judge for the past month, I didn't want to hear about it more. There was no way they were going to out wit Dumbledore.

Once dinner was over, I quickly stood up, trying to leave as fast as possible. I felt someone grab my arm. I turned to see Fred grinning at me. I couldn't help the smile that formed on my face. Wait. What am I doing? Fred didn't do a single thing to me. I can't be mean to him. I decided I could deal with another night or two of tournament talk to be with my best friends.

A/N: This was one of the hardest chapter to write. I want the chapter that Fred and Marie first kiss to be amazing, and I wasn't feeling it just yet. Reviews are lovely. :D
