Our timetables were made to fit in with the Hogwarts students. I wasn't in one class with my two proper friends. I wasn't really on first name basis with anyone else in my year, I sound like such a dork, but it's the truth. Charms was first, I decided I wasn't going to wear my blue hat today, I don't think anyone would mind. I did my make up quickly and left our assigned rooms, luckily I had been roomed with the twins, but they had already left for their classes. It was going to take me a while to find my class. As I searched the school, I thought about the night before, our entrance went brilliantly, the Durmstrangs entrance was a bit over the top, if I do say so myself. The feast, oh my, it was so much better than what we get at Beauxbatons. Also, I caught the eyes of a boy last night as I devoured my food. His hair was long, and ginger and he had the cutest smile with someone almost exactly identical, twins I presumed. Well it was blatantly obvious really.
"Professor Flitwick" I said to myself. As I walked down the long corridor. "Hey I'm going to his class just now" A girl said to me, smiling. She was stunning, dark skin, dark hair. "Acacia Kendall" I said, holding my hand out.
"Angelina" She smiled. "Not French?" she then questioned, as we started walking together.
"How could you tell?" I laughed. "It's good being somewhere that nearly everyone speaks English."
"It's just in here." She laughed, turning into a large classroom with high chairs, that made it look like a lecture hall. No students from Beauxbatons, brilliant. Hopefully they had just got lost and they would turn up late, I thought. "Come sit with me if you want?" Angelina smiled and let me up to the second row of the seats. That's when they walked in, the twins. Not Gabby and Renee…the two boys from last night. I could instantly tell which one I had met eyes with last night. "Hey, how are they?" I asked Angelina, she let out a small giggle and I saw the other twin stare up at her. "That's my boyfriend Fred." She smiled, and then called his name, they jumped up the stairs Fred at Angelina's side and the other sliding along next to me, my heart skipped a beat. "And this is George." She said smiling at the boy next to me you had a sly grin on his face. "Who is this lovely lady?" George said.
"Acacia." I smiled, holding my hand out for him to shake, he took it and kissed it softly. I felt myself blush. Angelina and Fred just laughed. "Hey Acacia." Fred said.
"So…French." George said, wiggling his eyebrows. I laughed.
"French school." I smiled. "But I'm Scottish." I said, and as I did I think he then recognized my accent as he pulled a face as if to say that it was obvious. "Well welcome to Hogwarts, I'm sure you'll have a great time." He winked, and then I glanced to the door and a small man was walking in, black hair slightly greying, a moustache and well when I say small, I mean really small. He walked to the end of the class and climbed a few stairs so he was now double his size. He did a cough as to silence us, which the class did. "Welcome to Charms fifth years."
The rest of my first week at Hogwarts went by uneventfully. Every time I had Charms I looked forward to the class, only so I could see George, he was in my Defense against the Dark Arts class too, but it was assigned seating, I got paired up with Luka Sergi, one of the Durmstrang boys. He was very nice, and really good at the class so I was thankful that I wasn't paired with some toad. Every so often I'd steal a glance at George to find he would be looking at me, it made me blush just thinking about it.
I went to meet Renee and Gabby in the main hall where the Goblet was placed, we had found out that only wizards aged 17 or over were to enter into the Triwzard Tournament, and a lot of people were pretty gutted. "Hey guys" I said as I approached the two girls sitting on the benches, the room was pretty busy as people circled the goblet watching whoever entered putting their name into the blue flames. "Hey stranger." Renee laughed, giving me a hug, Gabby doing the same. Just then everyone started cheering as Fred and George ran into the hall, wide grins on both their faces. "We did it" They yelled.
"It's not going to work" I girl sang on the bench in front of us." I looked at George to see his reaction; he noticed and winked at me. She then explained the circle and how Dumbledore couldn't let an ageing potion fool him. The twins ignored her and popped the lid from the bottle.
"Ready Fred?"
"Ready George." They grinned as the drunk the potion as if it was a shot of Firewhisky. Everyone was silent until they jumped into the circle, were they stood.
"Yeaaah!" George exclaimed. Then everyone started cheering and clapping again, I joined in. They threw their names into the fire and everyone started cheering even louder. Suddenly their bodies were thrown back and there ginger hair turned grey and started to grow along with a grey beard. I laughed as the boys started to fight, but then I suddenly stopped and all you could here were footsteps and the sounds of Fred and George fighting and cursing each other. Everyone stared as Viktor Krum walked in, a serious look on his face as he threw his name into the fire. He looked around at everyone then walked back out. Everyone just stood silent for a moment, then chit chat started again as the tension had disappeared, everyone started to clear out as it was time to head back to the dorms.
"You coming dearie?" Gabby said, picking up her books.
"Yeah." I smiled. "That was different, huh?" I laughed, lifting my bag onto my shoulder.
"Defiantly not something you see every day." Renee laughed, as we walked off the benches. We passed Fred and George. I smiled at them, but I couldn't hold my laugh in as they dusted themselves off, still with their grey hair and beard. "You laughing at me Acacia?" George asked, walking towards us, I stopped to talk. "Never." I laughed out. "You must respect your elders." He softly pushed my shoulder.
"We'll get you up there, ok?" Gabby smiled, and Renee winked as they began to walk away. I felt my cheeks get hotter.
"So erm…what are you doing tomorrow on your first day off?" George asked. I felt kinda awkward as Fred just stood behind him, with his hands deep in his pockets, I smiled none the less. I looked up to George's face, which had a kind worried expression.
"Well I have nothing written in stone." I smiled. "Why what did you have in mind?" A grin spread across his face.
"You'll see, I'll meet you just after breakfast." I said beginning to walk backwards out of the door, I just stood there, watching his flawless face back away from where I stood. I smiled to myself. Had I just got myself a date with George Weasly?
