Summary: What if Draco and Harry were best friends along with Ron? What is Ginny was in love with Draco? What if Hermione went to Beauxbatons instead of Hogwarts? What if Harry had an unknown twin that was bestfriends with Hermione? This. Set in GoF.
''So what's the plan?''
'' Make Harry jealous. Break the couple up and Harry asks Hermione out and done!''
''What if Harry gets a girlfriend?'' They both started laughing.
''Like that's ever gonna happen. He's too scared to even talk to a girl.''
''Hello Julie. Finnigean. Nice car. ''
''Hello Julie. Finnigean. Nice car.'' Cedric said coming up from behind Seamus. Julie smiled while Seamus eyes went into fear mode with Cedric's glare at him.
''Cedric!'' Cho yelled in her singsong vioce that sounded like nails scratching a chalk board. She walked over to the group witha red headed girl behind her with a Beauxbaton boy. ''Oh, hello Julie, Seamus. Seems like you two hit it off. I loved your party. It was so much fun. Do you know who's Jag is out there? That is one nice car.''
''It's mine. My parents gave it to me.''
''Aren't you suppose to have license to drive that thing?'' The red haed asked.
''I do have one.'' Julie said showing her license. They both had jealousy in their eyes. Cedric was still glaring at Seamus and the Beauxbatons boy was droolingover Julie.
''Well, Dumbledore isn't going to let you drive it into Hogwarts.'' Cho said.
''Actually, he said I could drive MY Jag into Hogwarts. It won't be that hard. I could park it outside or make it smaller and put it in my room.'' Julie said.
''Oh. How nice. My daddy said he's getting my a Porshe this summer, along with another credit card.'' redheaded girl said.
''Lovely. I just got most of the Vertilli fortune. Along with another.'' Julie said. Now both girls were getting angry.
''Well, we have to be going. Nice seeing you again. Hope you have a nice time on your date.'' Cho said giving them a fake plastered smile. They left, while Julie and Seamus recovered from the incident.
''Wow. That girl was overbearing. What is it with her and my stuff? Jealous much?'' Julie said.
''Yea. And why did they think we were on a date? We're just friends doing our friends a favor.''
''Totally.''
''Great. Now Cho is going to annouce to the whole school that we're dating.''
''Hey! It's not like I'm ugly!'' Julie said.
''True. But it's totally going to ruin my chances with another girl.''
''OOHHHHHHH. Who?''
''You wouldn't know her.''
''Really? Because I think I know who it is.''
''You know it's Padma Patil?''
''That was too easy. So you and Ravenclaw Patil? I could see a potential couple there.''
''Yea, but she just got out of a relationship and now I'm in one.''
''Hey, who said we're a couple?''
''Ummm...Cho, Cedric, flame head girl and soon to be the whole entire school.''
''Yea right. Cedric doesn't think we're together.''
''Did you see his glares at me? I thought he was going to jump on me.''
''You're kidding right? Cedric would and could never do that. He's too much of a goody too shoes.''
''So, you like good boys?''
''More like bad boys.''
''Are you sure?''
''Positive. Ask Viktor who I've dated.''
''Why can't I just ask you?''
''Because he can describe them better.''
''Sure.''
''Well, what you would prefer? Smart or stupid girls?''
''Smart. Stupid girls are so...''
''Idiotic? Shallow? Braindead?''
''All of those. But smart girls are...''
''Elegant? Classy? Near perfection? Just like me?''
''Yes.''
''Thought so.'' A waitress came up to them.
''So what would like today?'' the blonde hair lady asked.
'' A cheeseburger with everything and fries. Also a butterbeer for me.'' Seamus said.
''I'll take a triple decker cheeseburger witheverything except tomatoes and mustard, side order of fries and firewhiskey.'' Julie said.
''All righty. I'll be done in a jiffy.'' the waitress said walking away shocked at what Julie ordered.
''She's definitely from America.'' Julie said.
''Land of the Dreams.''Seamus said.
''Home to the Hollywood stars.'' Julie said.
''Yea. What's it like there?''
''Awesome. So much better than Europe.'' Julie kept talking about America and Seamus asked more and more questions. Finally Hermione and Justin came up to them and told them they better get going. Justin left the three because he had to meet up with some other friends leaving Hermione, Julie and Seamus to go back to Hogwarts. Hermione sat in the back while Julie and Seamus sat in the front.
''So, how was your date?'' Julie asked.
''Fun. The best in forever. He's like the perfect person for me! We talked everything. Oh, he said the funniest thing...'' Hermione continued talking on and on about how Justin was oh so funny and oh so sweet. Seamus looked at Julie and gave her the your-plan-isn't-working-she actually-likes-him look. Julie gave him the oh-just-you-wait look. ''So how was your date?'' Hermione asked.
''What date?'' Julie asked.
''I mean your's.''
''That wasn't a date.'' Seamus said.
''Of course it wasn't.''
''It wasn't. It was a favor.''
''For who?'' Hermione asked.
''Justin.''
''Yea, right. You went on a date because Justin asked you to.''
''IT WASN'T A DATE!'' they both said at the same time.
''Ok. It wasn't.'' Hermione said.
''Good.'' Julie said.
''I told you everyone would think we're together.''
''No one thinks that! You like Patil and I like Cedric!'' Julie slapped her hand over her mouth.
''Oooooooooooooooooo. Julie likes Cedric! Julie and Cedric sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love...'' Julie cut Hermione off.
''What about Seamus and Padma?'' Julie said blushing.
''Julie!'' Seamus yelled. Julie gave him I-needed-to-get-her-off-my-back-sorry look.
''He's a guy. He can do it on his own.'' Hermione said. ''You need help.''
''Help on what? Me and Cedric together? If you didn't realize, Cedric has a girlfriend.'' Julie said driving about 3 more miles until Hogwarts.
''Yea, but he likes you.'' Hermione said.
''Why would he like me? He has Cho.'' Julie said tightening her grip on the streering wheel. ''Why would he leave her for me?''
''Because he's in love with you.'' Seamus said.
''Oh. So it's in love now? How would you know this? It's not like either of you even tried to make friends with him. Yes, I know about you Gryfinndors and Slytherins. Focusing on each other and yourselves. Have you ever gone out with someone from another house? Thought so. I thought house unity would help defeat You Know Who. Maybe no one wants to. Yea. I can hear it now.'' Julie started to mimick. ''No! I don't like Hufflepuffs! They're too weak! No not the Slytherins! They're all Deatheaters! No Gryrinndors are all too cocky! Ravenclaws are snobby knowitalls!'' Julie yelled. ''Well, you know what? I met a strong brave Hufflepuff. Cedric Diggory. I met 2 Slytherins that are really nice and not Deatheaters! That's right 2! Harry Potter isn't all that cocky either! He's actually humble and doesn't like press. And of all people, you should know that Padma isn't snobby. So shut up about knowing that someone's in love with me!'' Julie said parking the car and slamming her door shut.
''Julie. Wait. I'm...'' Seamus said jogging after her. Julie turned around.
''Don't. Sorry can't save anyone.'' Julie said. She walked into Hogwarts. Cedric was waiting at the entrence and she could have sworn she'd seen a smile pass across his face.
''Ello Julie.'' Cedric said.
''Hello. Is dinner starting?'' Julie asked plainly.
''Yea. Is everything okay with you and Seamus?'' Cedric asked. ''Sorry if I'm being nosy.''
''No. It's fine. I'm not sure. I just feel like dealing with him. Maybe it's just the wind.'' Julie said looking faint.
''Oh. Ok. Are you okay? You don't look so well.'' Cedric said.
''Like I said. It's probably just the wind.'' Julie said. Everything was getting hazy. ''What's that purple thing?'' Julie said pointing at the sky. There was nothing there but the dark blue sky.
''What are you talking about?'' Cedric said looking up.
''That.'' Julie said collapsing into Cedric's arms. Cedric looked arlarmed. Seamus turned to look at what Hermione was pointing at. Seamus ran to help Cedric carry Julie with Hermione following. They walked into the Great Hall, where everyone was including Madame Pomfrey.
''She needs help. She saw a purple thing in the sky and fainted.'' Cedric said when he walked in. Madame Pomfrey rushed them to the Hospital Wing. Harry, Ron, Luna, Viktor, and Ginny stood up and Dumbledore excused them. They followed the others to the Hospital Wing and get well gifts started going in. Hermione eating a plate of chocolate cake(she eats when she's worried), Harry had thoughts going through his mind, Ron was eating a slice of strawberry shortcake (more like the cake itself), Luna and Ginny were listening to Julie's new CD, Viktor was reading Julie's get well gifts and organizing them into girls section and throw away pile, Cedric was pacing and Seamus resting his head next to her. Cedric really wanted to break his neck off. Finally Cedric spoke.
''What is wrong with you?'' Cedric asked angered.
''What do you mean?'' Seamus asked.
''You know what I mean! You caused this!''
''How did I cause this?!''
''You're the one who made her upset!''
''I did not!''
''Yes you did!''
''No!''
''Yes!''
''No!''
''Yes!''
''Shut up!''all the girls screamed.
''He didn't do it. The purple thing did it! So shut up or Julie's going to have a fit!'' Hermione screamed.
''Sorry.'' Seamus and Cedric said.
''But. What is it with you and black hair girls?'' Seamus asked.
''What?'' Cedric asked angerily.
''You know. With you having a black haired girlfriend and you being infatuated with Julie who has black hair. So I'm guessing you have a thing for black haired girls.''
''I don't have a thing for black haired girls.'' Cedric said.
''Are you sure? You seem to really like Julie. Or is it because of her eyes? No. Must be her..''
''Jealous Finnigean?'' Cedric asked.
''Of what?''
''Julie not being in love with you.''
''Are you saying I want to be with her?''
''Seems like it. Following her around and desperatly trying to make her laugh.''
''Following her? I do not follow her! We go together! And she always laughs at my jokes.''
''Pity laugh.''
''You know what I think? I think you're the one who's jealous.''
'' Why on earth would you think that?''
''Because you're the on who's following her.''
''At least I'm not the one who is desperate to hear her laugh at my lame jokes. Besides I have a beautiful girlfriend.''
''Great reason to stay away from her!''
''I'm not going to leave her because I have a girlfriend!''
''why not? Wouldn't Cho get jealous just like you?''
''She's not jealous of Julie!''
''How would you know? You're too busy staring at Julie.''
''I do not stare!''
''Whatever stalker!'' Seamus and Cedric wipped out their wands and pointed them at each other.
''Shut it leprechaun!''
''Why don't you, cheater!''
''I'm not cheating! And where's my gold?''
''Shut up!'' Julie screamed. That did it. Her eyes were still closed. ''No! No! Let him go! No! Not him! Take me! Expelliarmus!'' Julie yelled. Her wand that was a good few feet away shot out a jet of red light. It hit Cedric and Seamus's wands at once. They both fell back. Everyone rushed to Julie side to see her hands glowing violet like her eyes. Madame Pomfrey,Professor Mcgonall and Dumbledore heard her and shooed everyone else away.
''Julie. Can you hear me?'' Dumbledore asked softly. Julie's violet eyes opened slowly.
''Yes.'' Julie said.
''Oh, my dear. It's starting.'' Mcgonall said.
In Double Potions, Julie was paying as much attenion as she could to Professor Snape. Cedric was thinking. Am I really a stalker? Well, I am thinking about her right now. And I'm staring at her. O My God. I am a stalker! How do I stop it? I know. I'll just avoid her at all costs.
''Ummm... We need all the Champions and their assistants to go to Dumbledore's office.'' The messanger said. Julie and Cedric got up and left quickly to avoid Snape's glares. Julie kept quiet most of the time but she did thank him for catching her. They had the wand weighing ceremony and Julie sat and stred at the ground. Rita Skeeter came up to her but Cho chang bursted into the room and distracted her with herself and Cedric making out. Dumbledore gave them a clue and the date for the first task. Hermione grabbed Julie's hand and dragged her to the library to do research. the rest left quickly except Cedric. He was trapped with Cho and Skeeter. That night, Julie decided to go for a walk. She overheard someone talking. She crept over to them and heard Charlie weasley talking about the first task and dragons. She rushed back to find Hermione. She told Hermione everything she knew about the first task. She found Viktor and told him, so he wouldn't get hurt. she tried to find Harry, but he was running to her telling her about what he heard in the Great Hall.
''I know Harry. I've told Viktor and Hermione already.'' Julie said.
''Oh. So, you are going to tell Cedric?'' Harry asked
''Ummm...If you haven't noticed, he's been avoiding me. Everytime I come near him, he leaves.''
''I guess I'll tell for his sake.''
''It won't be fair he's the only one who doesn't know.''
''Yes. Bye.'' Harry said turning to leave.
''Bye.'' Julie said. She sat down on a bench and tears were falling down.
-------------------------First Task------------------------------------------------
''Harry'' Julie said. Harry turned around. Cedric stared at Julie and Harry from the other side.
''Yea?'' Harry asked trying to keep calm.
''Good luck. I don't know what I would do without you.'' Julie said jumping up and hugging him.
''Thanks.'' Harry said confused.Julie let him go and walked towards Hermione who was talking with Viktor. She broke down crying.
''I can't. I just can't do it. I can't bear to tell him then watch him die.''
''He won't die. This is the Harry Potter. The guy who's going to beat You know Who.'' Viktor said trying to ease the pain.
''How do you know? He Should Not Named could have put Harry's name in the Goblet and could be planning to kill him the minute he steps out there. I can't give him more pressure. He's already got the Wizarding World depending on him. He doesn't need another another person to to...'' Julie broke out into fresh sobs. Viktor sat down next to her and hugged her. Then Rita Skeeter opened the flap of the tent and snapped a picture of Viktor hugging Julie.
''Front page material right there, Bozo. I can see it now. Julie Vertilli's new Bo!'' Rita said.
''What are you doing here Skitter?'' Julie asked with her eyes all red and puffy.
''AWWWW. Little Miss Perfection crying? Over what? Vikkie here, not treating you well or is he cheating on you with Christy Koles?''
''Shut it! And we're not even together. But you should get your stories in tact.'' Viktor said.
''Oooooo. So are you going to cry more, Little Miss Perfection because your new bo just rejected you.'' Rita asked meanly.
''You know what, Skitter? You can take that pen of your's and stick it up...'' Dumbledore cut her off.
''Alright. Now choose your dragon out of this bag.'' Viktor reached in and pulled out a Chinese Fireball and slot number 3. Hermione got Common Welsh Green and slot number 2.Harry pulled out the Hungarian Horntail and slot 4. Cedric pulled out Swedish Shourt Snout and slot 1. Madame Maxine smiled evily at Hermione while Julie glared at her and Rita was busy writing.
''Harry.'' Hermione said. Harry faced her. ''Good Luck.''
''you too.'' Harry said. Julie broke out into fresh sobs with Skitter taunting her. Finally Julie couldn't take it anymore and cast a spell, draping her and Skitter and Julie slapped her and said some CENSORED words to her. And I mean all the horrible words X10. Julie removed the spell and cast ironed Skitter's mouth shut.
''That you keep you quiet until the challenge is over.'' Julie said watching Cedric go first. He transformed a rock into a dog and the dragon paid attenion to it rather than Cedric. But in the end, half his face was burned off after he got the egg. Cedric walked the best he could back. Julie ran to him.
''O, my gawd! Cedric!'' Julie ran to him and helped him to the tent. Julie toke out her wand and said a healing spell to ease the pain. Cedric was fading fast. Things started going black. ''Cedric! Stay wake! Stay with me, now! Come on!'' Julie yelled with his head in her arms. ''Open those eyes, now! Don't close them. You can sleep later!'' Julie yelled again.
''Julie.'' Cedric croaked out. ''Don't leave.''
''I won't. I promise.'' Julie said as he was being dragged away following. The game continued. Harry won 1st place, Cedric, Hermione and then Viktor.
(if you want to know what the others did, here it is.)
Harry-accio his broomstick and flew and grabbed the egg.
Hermione-made the dragon fall asleep and her skirt on fire. Burned a pretty good bit of it. Thank God Harry made it longer for her. People were starting to stare.
Viktor- blinded the dragon with the conjuctivis curse, but lost points for the dragon squashing half her eggs
