-Fred's POV-

We were excused for the rest of the day while the teachers find out how and why the last two names were spat out. I walked with Michelle and George.

"You know, she'll be fine Fred. Don't worry about it too much," Michelle told me. I shrugged.

"What do you think this means? I mean, it seems unfair to the other schools that there's three Hogwarts students in this game," George said. I shivered a bit, thinking about what Jess said.

"Looks like we'll just have to wait and see how this plays out. Fred, you okay? You're not talking," Michelle asked.

"Fred! Wait up, I need to talk to you," Cedric shouted behind us. I looked back to see him running at us. We stopped to let him catch up.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Do you know what just happened? With Harry and Jess?"

"How their names got drawn, no. I hope they figure this out and take them out," I told him.

"They can't. Once your name is drawn, you're in the game for good. She even offered to take Harry's place; but Moody wouldn't let her. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made her put her name in. Please don't be mad at me."

He looked as worried and confused as I was feeling inside. I put a hand on his shoulder.

"If she really didn't want to put her name in, she wouldn't have. Right now, she's probably glad she did so Harry wouldn't be alone; but she may punch you later," I warned him.

"She was already glaring at me in Dumbledore's office… I'm guessing she found out huh?"

"I can't keep a secret from her."

"Found out what?" George asked, looking at me, "Wait, that's where that bruise came from?" he asked. I stopped George before he could hit Cedric, but I was surprised by Michelle. She stepped over and punched him where he had hit me. His eyes went wide.

"Mi-Michelle?" he asked.

"You should have known better than to hurt him like that! I'm sure she would have done worse if she was standing here! You're a bloody idiot, and honestly I don't see why she's wasted time trying to be your friend. She's my best friend. I saw you and Cho, and don't think she hasn't found out yet. You're a fool thinking you can keep secrets from her. You're nothing more than a roach now. Next time I see you near her, you better be apologizing to her for ignoring her last year and this year. Until then, stay away from her. Harry also. Good bye," she said. George and I were shocked as she turned to walk away.

"Chelle, wait!" George followed her.

"I never knew… George, better not make her made now either," I teased, following them.

"Oh, like she could ever hurt us. She wouldn't dare," he teased her. She smiled a bit.

"I couldn't harm a hair on either of you. He, however, has been annoying me since last year. I'll hit him again if I have to."

"And what will Jessie say about this?" we asked.

"She won't mind. I know she won't," she said. George and I looked at each other.

"She won't?" we asked.

"She's probably high five me."

~Jessica's POV~

"How did your name end up in the goblet Harry?" Dumbledore asked.

"I don't know sir, I didn't put it in there. There's no way I could have, we saw the Weasley twins try. They got blown away looking like old men. Someone else put my name in," Harry said.

"Who could that have been, then?" Snape asked, looking at me.

"What? I put my name in. You were even in the room! There's no way I put mine in. Michelle wouldn't even go near it, and she definitely wouldn't do that to Harry," I said.

"Do not take that tone with me," Snape said.

"Enough you two. You've been at each other's throats since her first year here. Harry, we'll figure out who put your name in. As for now, you have to compete," Dumbledore said.

"What?! You… You can't let him do that! I'll take his place instead, please sir!" I begged.

"You're both stuck in the tournament. Mad Eye Moody will be Harry's advisor, since he is under age. I want you two to be very careful. Harry, you may go now. I need to talk to your sister alone," Dumbledore said, looking at Harry.

"Yes sir," he said. I gave him a quick hug before he left. When the door closed, Dumbledore sat down and sighed.

"What is it sir?" I asked.

"Always something strange with your brother. I feel as though now I have gotten you involved since I made you speak the truth."

"Sir, I would rather be involved this year over any year so far. I've always watched over him since his first year. I don't really understand why he gets into that kind of trouble; but I'm not letting him do it alone this year. Whatever this has to deal with, I'm sure it deals with both of us now, or our family at least. I'm sure my name wouldn't have been picked if I didn't tell who I was. Someone out there is still coming for us, I'm sure of it now."

"If you believe so, then we'll look into it. As for now, be careful in the tournament. In a month will be the first task. I suggest you get ahead in your studies now. You're dismissed," Snape said. I nodded, turning to leave. I stopped once I got to the door.

"Don't you find it a little strange that we have a new teacher the same year I spill, and then our names get picked?" I questioned out loud before leaving the office. I didn't like the idea of Moody being my brothers' advisor, but I guess I had no choice. I started to go find Michelle when I saw Cedric talking to Cho. I raised a brow, thinking of walking over there; but I chose not to, and kept walking.

I heard him whisper to her, and then follow me.

"Whatever you're about to say, I don't want to hear it," I said, not stopping.

"I'm sorry you and Harry got pulled into this," he spoke.

"Look, it's not your fault. Someone's behind this. Harry's name would have gotten picked regardless. My name got picked because of the first day of school."

"I see, but still."

I stopped to look at him, glaring.

"You don't need to be sorry that Harry and I are in this tournament with you. In fact, I want your help to make sure he stays safe in it. The only things you should be apologizing to me about is ignoring me ast year, since I found out why this year. Oh, and hitting Fred too."

"Michelle hit me for those… George about attacked me. Would have if Fred wasn't there."

"Good. They're family. They're there for those they care about. Unlike you. I needed you last year and where were you? I don't know, maybe off with Cho somewhere! You're lucky Michelle hit you, because now I don't have to. Don't talk to me unless you have to. I'll do the same," I told him, turning back around.

"You know, Fred's a good guy. It'd be a good thing if you two ended up together."

"He's a hell of a lot better than you are, and I'm sure we will be."

"If you're looking for them, they went out by the lake."

"Good bye," I said, showing the annoyance in my voice. Harry wouldn't understand why I can't stand him now; but Michelle and the twins can.

When I found them, they were skipping rocks on the water. I tried to be quiet, but the dead leaves didn't help any. Fred was the first to turn to look; and when he realized it was me, he dropped the rock in his hand and ran over. He slipped, but regained balance, on his was to me. I couldn't help but laugh. It was like watching a puppy run to its owner.

"What all happened? We heard you can't get out of it…" he said, hugging me.

"You act as though I just got out of a hospital," I said, hugging him back.

"He's been like this ever since Cedric told us you can't get taken out of the tournament," George said, smirking. Michelle didn't turn around. I stepped back from Fred.

"What's going on here?" I asked.

"What do you mean love?" they asked, stepping closer. I took another step back, and heard a snap. Something around my ankle tightened and pulled me up. All three were laughing while I was hanging upside down. I crossed my arms and smiled.

"Nice one. Really had me going there, but Michelle didn't turn around. She gave it away, yet I still fell into your trap," I laughed. Michelle smiled and shrugged as she walked over.

"I couldn't help it, they were so persistent. Anything else Dumbledore said after Cedric left?" she asked. Fred helped me back down and I looked at Michelle.

"I owe you a hug. I ran into him on my way here and he told me what happened. I honestly have no clue what's going on with him… Maybe a late bloomer," I laughed, "He's very confused and slightly angered that Harry's name came out. I find it very strange that this year, three things have happened already. Oh, by the way; Ron's jealous of Harry for being in the spot again. I hope they get past this…"

"He will. Just wait it out, or we'll have you go off on him. That seemed to fix the argument between us," the twins said. I shrugged.

"Only if I have to. Don't any of you find it weird that the same year Dumbledore asks me to reveal who I am, we have a new teacher? As well as two extra names pulled? Granted Harry's name would have been pulled if I didn't say who I really was… I know someone is after Harry and I. I was never involved since I was supposedly dead," I explained.

"Maybe coincidence?" Michelle asked.

"As for the new teacher and Dumbledore's request, yes. Mine and Harry's names? No. I don't like that Mad Eye… He's going to be Harry's mentor since he's underage for this game," I told them, crossing my arms.

"Want to ask your buddy Snape about it?" Fred teased. I looked at him blankly.

"I still can't tell you why I talk to him privately. Sorry."

"I want to know why Snape. Out of all the other teachers, it has to be Snape?" Michelle asked.

"Man doesn't have a sense of humor. So I pick on him, and he gets mad. I've only gotten detention from him twice."

"Let's not make that a third," George poked. I smiled.

"You're going to be careful right?" Fred asked. I nodded.

"Of course I am. You have to worry less about me okay?"

"I can't."

I sighed, grabbing Fred's hand.

"Follow me," I told him. We walked over to a secluded beach underneath a rock ledge.

"Huh… I never knew this was here," he said.

"It's usually where I come to think. I found it when looking for Hagrid once."

"You're not going to yell at me are you?" he asked, drawing back a bit. I shook my head.

"No. In fact, I'm going to do the exact opposite."

"Opposite?"

"Close your eyes."

"Why?"

"Just do it."

Fred slowly closed his eyes. I put my hand over his eyes before putting my lips on his. I could tell he was surprised, and I stepped back with a half smile on my face. His face turned into complete confusion.

"Did you just…?"

"Yep."

"So we just…?"

"Yep."

"Wow," he muttered. He put his hand on his pocket and I raised a brow.

"What are you going for?" I asked. He pulled out a necklace with a crystal on it.

"When George and I last went out with dad, we had these made and charmed. Getting them charmed was Dad's idea."

"Charmed with what?"

"If the crystal glows red, the one wearing it is… Well, the one."

"The one?"

"You know what I mean," he smiled. I giggled.

"I know, just thought it'd be funny if you said it. You have a hard time trying to be serious," I teased. He stepped closer.

"That I do, so does George. Being serious isn't much fun," he said, putting the necklace on me. I lifted it in my hand as it started to glow red, like he said. I quickly closed it in my hand.

"Hey now, what's that for?" he asked. I smiled at him.

"I want to tell you something first."

"Tell me what?" he seemed a bit worried. I put the necklace in my shirt and then took his hands.

"No matter what happens in this tournament, I know you'll worry. Just remember that I have to do it. If I get hurt, I want you there next to me. Jeez, it is hard to be serious… Fred, I want to be the one to tell you, not some crystal you and George had made. It is pretty and I love it, but I love you more," I said, putting my forehead on his.

"You do?"

"I told your brother I'd make sure we'd end up together by the end of the year. We both know you've liked me since your first year. It's been six years. Hell, you've always been there for me. So Fred, want to tell me what you tried to last night?"

He smiled and kissed me, "I love you. So please, be careful. It's bad enough strange things happen to your brother. I don't want anything to happen to you either."

"I'll try; by the way, it's red," I told him, taking the necklace back out.

"There was no doubt in my mind it wasn't."
