Ok, so let me get this straight. I, Evelyn Moore, am NOT in love with Ron Weasley. Why would someone believe that! Especially one of my best friends, Hermione, and the guy I actually liked, no scratch that, maybe loved.
But my life couldn't just be as easy as a straight line, could it?
Flashback
I often wonder why I chose Divination as a class. The teacher was nuts, and don't get me started on my new partner. Never in my life have I wanted to get away from someone as I wanted to escape Malfoy. No one can take away from him the fact that his one handsome guy, but who the heck got his wand in a knot?! And further more why on earth, does he have to take all his tantrum out on me!
Of course it didn't bother me much, I only had to see him two hours per week. I could survive, I hope. I had other problems now, and the first one was to give a certain Weasley a piece of my mind.
As I headed to the dorms to take a shower I bumped into Ron.
"Awch" I yelped as I fell on the ground while my books were scattered on the floor. My eyes grew wide as I saw the pages were some torn or crumbled.
"Nooo" I yelled in horror. "My prescious"
Ron gave me a strange look as if I were nuts or something. "They're just books Eve, calm down" he said picking up the books for me, seeing as I was in too much shock to do anything. After he finished picking them up he did the same to me and handed me my books. I snapped out of the trance and glared at him.
"You hurt my babies" I said with a pout. He laughed. "Not funny" I continued glaring at him, "What are you doing here anyway? I asked him suspiciously. "The Gryffindor tower is the opposite way from here"
He blushed a bit. "Erm, I was just looking around?" He tried but fail miserably to hide, whatever he wanted to hide.
"What were you looking for?" I pressed on getting closer to his face as if to analyze his eyes better, to see whether he was going to lie or not. He started to shift a bit, clearly nervous.
"Iwasjusttryingtoseeifshewasanywherenearheretotalktoheraboutsomething" he blurted out something incomprehensive.
"Huh?" I replied. He just sighed and dragged me to a corner so that no one could hear what we were saying.
"I wanted to see if she was here" he repeated again, slower this time.
"Oh" I simply said. "She? Who?" I asked, curiosity getting the best of me. He looked at me strangely.
"What do you mean who?" he asked looking at me straight in the eyes, as if I were supposed to know exactly who he was refereeing to.
There was a moment of silence and then it hit me. 'Oh no, he can't possibly mean me. Could he?! Oh no, oh no, no, no. This is no good' I gathered up my courage and directly asked him.
"Ron Weasley, you couldn't possibly mean that you wanted to tell me that you like me" I nearly shouted out of panic. He got closer to my face as if to see if I was thinking clearly or not. Footsteps were heard, and I panicked and kicked him in the head with one of my books.
"AHHHH" he yelled in pain. "What the hell is wrong with you Evelyn!" he was still rubbing his head on the spot I just hit him. "Of course I didn't mean you, you barmy!" at this point I felt sorry I hit him.
"I'm sorry Ron, I didn't meant to. I just panicked because I heard someone coming, and… "I trailed of. "Never mind. Are you ok?" I asked with concern.
"You bloody bet I'm not, woman" he still seemed to hurt a bit.
"I said I'm sorry and that I only did it because I panicked!" I tried to defend myself.
"Blimey, I thought you knew I meant Blair!" he said in protest.
'What? Blair?' I thought 'Oh, buggers. Didn't know that. No wait! Blair?! That's no good either'
"Blair?" I asked him, just to be sure.
"Yeah," he continued "I thought you knew"
"Knew what?" I asked again. He just sighed.
"I've liked Blair for a long time now, Evelyn" he said.
"It's news for me" I said smiling. He simply rolled his eyes.
"We should probably go and see who's putting their names in the Goblet of Fire" he suggested.
"Sounds great. I just have to take a shower and I'll catch up with you guys" I smiled making my way to the Ravenclaw tower, but before I turned around and said "Hei Ron, your secret is safe with me" I smiled and entered the Common Room.
I quickly left my books on the ground, took a quick shower and took my potions book to read something before class started tomorrow. I always hated when I wasn't prepared, so better safe than sorry.
As I headed towards the Great Hall, I could already hear the students cheering. As I entered it, I could see Ron was with Harry and Blair, of course he was talking to Blair while Harry was mesmerized by the Goblet of Fire. He seemed to notice me and waved to me. I waved back and continued to scan the room for someone.
'Found you' I thought and went straight to sit near the blonde who was clearly too absorbed because of her book to even notice me.
"What are you reading?" I asked her sitting down next to her and put down my potions book.
He gave me a glare and snapped at me. "It's a book about the Triwizard Tournament" and returned to her reading.
'Now that was rude' I thought
"Is there something wrong, Hermione?" I asked her genuinely. She seemed to want to ignore me. So I tried again.
"Come on, tell me. I seriously don't know what I did to make you talk to me like this"
"You think so, do you?" she retorted. "How about going behind my back" she hinted.
"What!?" I almost yelled.
"You heard me. Fred and George saw you with Ron before." She said looking hurt at me.
End of flashback
So here I am, trying to explain to Hermione that it wasn't me that Ron liked. Of course it would be rather difficult if she asked me what we talked about. Telling her that he liked my friend Blair would be the end of it.
"Oh" I simply said "It looked that bad, didn't it"
"Wasn't it?" she asked clearly having some doubts now.
"It wasn't, Hermione. You know that, unfortunately, I only have eyes for one Weasley" I said smiling at her. "Ron and I were just talking" I continued. She seemed relieved, but also sorry for believing the twins before she even gave me the chance to explain.
"Oh, Evelyn. I'm so sorry. I'm so stupid, it's just that with all the fuss around here I… No, you're right. I shouldn't have gotten to conclusions that fast. I'm sorry. Forgive me?" she said with a hopeful smile, which I returned.
"There is no need to. What does the book say anyway?" I asked curious.
"It is quite interesting. Did you know that we will be also hosting a ball on Christmas Eve? It's called the Yule Ball" she said matter-of-factly.
"No, I didn't actually knew about it. Sounds lovely- " I said but my phrase was interrupted by the twins that just walked in the Great Hall.
"Yes! Thank you, thank you" they shouted and everyone cheered for them. They came near me and Hermione.
I bet that if I could see my face now, it was clearly annoyed.
They were high fiving everyone, being pretty proud of their achievement. "We did it! We cooked it just this morning" they said while parading around. I just simply rolled my eyes.
"It's not going to work" Hermione told them with a knowing smile. I just laughed at how naïve they were.
"Oh yeah?" said Fred. "And why's that, Granger?" George continued.
"You see this?" she said pointing to the line drawn on the floor. "This is an age line. Dumbledore drew it himself." She said matter-of-factly.
"So?" George simply didn't seemed impressed. Hermione huffed and closed her book before continuing.
"So a genius like Dumbledore couldn't possibly be fooled by a dodge as pathetically dim witted as an ageing potion" Hermione said proudly.
"Ah, but that's why it's so brilliant" Fred said even more proud of what they were going to achieve. I simply couldn't hold back my laugh anymore.
"Because is so pathetically dim witted" continued George. By this point I was actually shedding a tear from all the laughter.
"Look Georgie, our lil' Evie here thinks it's funny" Fred said to his twin.
"Well then Fred, we should show her that we always know what we're doing just like we did this morning" George continued. "Ready Fred?" he asked.
"Ready George" his twin replied.
"Bottoms up" they both said and drank the whole potion while jumping into the aging circle.
I simply rolled my eyes while Hermione seemed quite annoyed that they didn't listen to her. Of course nothing happened to them, and everyone was cheering while they continued to show off like peacocks.
'Boys' I thought while looking at the twins parading like a stupid twits they were. 'Why must I fall for him?'
They proceeded putting their names in the Goblet and they really thought they had nailed it. But soon the Goblet proceed throwing them out of the aging line with a blue lightening. As soon as they hit the ground, their hair became white and they were growing beards. It was hilarious, I actually couldn't believe it.
'I should really capture this moment and black mail them for life' I thought while laughing.
"You said" George shouted while throwing himself at Fred. "You said" Fred also shouted and the twins started fighting. Everyone formed a circle around them and they were shouting "Fight, fight, fight"
I made my way through the crowd and picked up both of them.
"Come on you two, let's get you to Madame Pomfrey" I said while picking them up by their arms and dragging them out of the Great Hall and directly to the Hospital Wing.
"Look at how cute she is, Fred. She wants to take care of us." George said to his twin with a devilish smile.
"I doubt so, George. I think she's going to fed us to Fluffy" Fred said laughing.
I rolled my eyes and stayed silent. This wasn't the time to talk. They continued fighting because they each thought that it was the other ones fault that the potion didn't work. Once we got to Madame Pomfrey she didn't even seem surprised to see them. They just grinned sheepishly.
"I'll just go now." I said and went straight back to the Great Hall. I could now see that everyone was there, everyone.
'They're probably waiting to see who has been chosen' I thought as I sat next to Blair and Fleur.
"Look who the cat brought back" Blair said, clearly a bit annoyed I haven't talked to her all day.
"I'm sorry?" I tried apologizing. She just simply rolled her eyes and smiled.
"I think you've been punished, having Malfoy as a partner is worse enough as a punishment." She laughed.
"You always knew how to be a good friend" I muttered.
The twins came back and sat near the Trio. As I looked at them, Fred's eyes met mine. This time I didn't break the gaze, I was just caught by the moment and didn't want it to end.
'If I could just wipe away all the stupid things that came in between us' I thought while giving him a smile, which surprisingly he returned.
Everyone seemed to quiet down and take a sit as Dumbledore entered the Great Hall.
"This is the moment you've been all waiting for! The Champion selection!" he yelled as the candle seem to lose some of their light. Dumbledore approached the Goblet and soon it launched the first piece of paper, which he grabbed.
"The Durmstrang champion is Victor Krum!" he said and everyone from his Institute cheered. Krum stood up and shook Dumbledore's hand and went to stand in the front of the tables.
Another paper flew from the Goblet. "The Champion from Beauxbotons is Fleur Delatour!" he said. Fleur was really excited but a bit scared too. I hugged and congratulated her.
"I always knew you were something special, Fleur" I said to her while hugging her.
"Thank you Evelyn." She smiled and went to stand next to Krum.
"The Hogwarts Champion is Cedric Diggory!" he said. Everyone was cheering, they all seemed to love this Cedric Diggory. Mind me, I had no idea who he was.
'Cute thought' I though and looked at Blair who seemed to have the same idea.
"I'm taking him" she immediately said. I just simply laughed.
"Excellent, we now have our three champions. But in the end only one will go down the history" he continued. But something strange was happening. Another paper flew out of the Goblet into Dumbledore's hands.
"Harry Potter..." he whispered. "Harry Potter" he repeated. Everything went silent.
'Oh Merlin.'
