It had been about a month since the drawing, and next week was the first task. Classes were over and I was wandering around the castle alone. Snape said he wanted to speak after diner, which slightly worried me. That man never really did want to talk to me unless it was important. I saw Ron, who was still not talking to Harry. I sighed, shaking my head. He noticed me and walked over to me.

"You mind telling your brother to stop trying to speak to me?" he asked. I blinked, crossing my arms.

"Excuse me, Ron? Why the hell are you avoiding him to begin with?" I questioned.

"He's always in the spot light! No matter what I do, he and Hermione are always seen above me. It bothers me, and him trying to apologize is like him pitying me!" Ron nearly shouted. I grabbed his ear and pulled him to an empty hall way, him saying ow and trying to break free.

"Look Ron. Harry doesn't mean for these things to happen. Hermione is brilliant, she's always been seen that way. You need to stop being jealous and get over this! Keep in mind not only was his name drawn; but mine to. Yeah, every year something happens; but don't forget it's because his last name is Potter. If I didn't admit to who I was, my name wouldn't have been picked either. Stop being childish. Harry is your best friend, he needs you and wants you to be there; cheering him on. You're lucky I don't hit you for how stupid you're being!" I yelled. He blinked, looking scared.

"I swear, if you two don't fix things… I'll tell Mum," I smirked. His fear worsened.

"I guess you're right… Someone must really not want you two alive."

"Well, I can think of a large group. Either way, stop being a moron. Harry will forgive you, I know he will. You're like his brother."

"You're right. How come you waited this long?"

"Hermione couldn't take it anymore. No one could. Now, once you two are friends again; your brothers and I have something we want to tell you. Michelle included."

"I feel like that should worry me…"

"Only a little. Have you seen Fred by the way? I was looking for him; but when he wasn't in any of his usual spots with George I gave up."

"Wait, he isn't hanging around like normal?"

"Or with George… Which really worries me."

"Now why should that worry you, love?" Fred asked, putting his head on my shoulder. I froze to keep myself from elbowing him.

"Don't do that!" I shouted.

"Found him," Ron said, walking away. I watched as Ron turned to corner before nearly jumping on Fred.

"I'll kill you the next time you come out of nowhere like that!" I threatened with a smile. He smiled back and kissed my nose, hugging me tightly. After a few minutes, I thought he'd pull away. He hadn't yet.

"Fred… Hun, you can let go now," I told him. He shook his head.

"I got a letter from Charlie… I need to tell you something," he whispered.

"What is it?" I asked, forcing him to let go to look at me. He looked around, taking my hands.

"He knows what the first task is… He heard that you and Harry's names were also pulled from the cup."

"Fred, that's cheating."

"It's tradition," he smirked, "And since when did you get so self-conscious about cheating?"

"Hmm, never. If it came from Charlie; it must deal with dragons right?" I asked. He nodded.

"You're going to have to get a fake egg from a nesting mother," he whispered. I saw his face flush with worry. I put my hand on his cheek.

"I'll be okay. I promise. Now that I know; I'll think of a way to come up with something."

"I'll still worry."

"I know you will."

"Miss Potter, personal affairs can wait until later. I need to speak with you," Snape said, walking up on us. I sighed and looked down.

"Does everyone have to appear from thin air these days when they want to talk? Fred go make sure Ron and Harry are okay. I'll meet you in the common room later," I told him. He nodded, eyeing Snape before taking off down the hall. I turned to look at Snape.

"I see he got to you before I could. He got a message from Charlie didn't he?" he asked. I crossed my arms, nodding.

"Thought you'd knew before he would. What happened?"

"I had to ask Hagrid. Dumbledore felt it would be bad for me to interfere with you and your brother in this tournament."

"By all means, interfere. I invite you to."

"From that necklace you've been wearing for a while now, and how I just caught you and Mr. Weasley… Are you two finally together?" he asked. I saw a hint of a smile on his face. It was kind of creepy.

"Yes, we are. Why?" I asked. His small smile disappeared.

"You know of the prophecy that includes your brother, don't you?"

"Of course I do. Dumbledore told me about it my first year, as did you when you found me on my father. Why?"

"We have… Come across another one. One we realized involved you."

"One of the children that is said to be related to one of the chosen ones to defeat you know who, their heart split in two, find relief of the curse that haunts the halls of every magical home. I already knew that one. Wait a minute…" I felt shivers go down my spine.

"Since you know it, there is no need for me to tell you. The meaning is what you need to find out."

"But… Professor Snape… I… Never mind. I need to do extra studying in the potions room later," I told him. He nodded.

"Go ahead. You may join an extra class tomorrow with the Weasley twins if you want since you have tomorrow off."

"Thank you sir," I said, running off to find Cedric. I ran into Cho instead. She smiled lightly at me.

"Cho, have you seen Ced? I need to talk to him."

"Last time I saw him, he was talking with your brother. I'm sorry… I thought you'd tell your brother that he and I were dating."

I blinked.

"I didn't even know Harry liked you…"

"What do you need Cedric for?"

"It deals with the tournament. I'll see you later!" I said, running off again.

"Wait! You're not still mad at us are you?" she called.

"No! I wasn't ever made at you Cho! Just him; but we get over it!" I shouted over my shoulder. I started to run upstairs when I ran right into Cedric and Harry.

"Ack! Watch it! Oh… Jess. I'm sorry. Your brother wanted to talk to me. Are you okay?" Cedric asked, helping me up.

"I'm fine. I need to talk to you."

"About the dragons? I already told him."

"How did you…?" I asked, looking at Harry.

"Charlie. Fred told you right?" Harry raised a brow. I nodded.

"This isn't about the dragons, though I told Cho it was about the tournament. Harry, did you speak with Ron?"

"I haven't seen him yet today."

"He's waiting for you in the common room. Go on, I talked to him earlier. Later I need to tell you something too. Cedric, you're coming with me," I spoke quickly, grabbing Cedric's arm; pulling him back up the stairs with me.

"Where are you taking me?" he asked. I walked into a empty classroom.

"What's this about?"

"I have a feeling something extremely bad is going to happen to you also this year… I can't really explain why or how; but just don't do anything stupid in this tournament. Okay?"

"What do you mean?"

"The child related to one of the chosen ones' heart is split in two. They find a cure of a curse that haunts the halls of all magical homes. Don't you see? Someone knows that it's me since I'm still alive. The curse I don't know. I…"

"Heart split in two?" he questioned stepping closer.

"Yes. Over you and Fred. Something is going to happen to one of you two."

"I'll be fine."

"You're in this tournament too. That's why I'm worried about it. I want you to watch mine and Harry's back; and we'll watch yours. I'm over the whole Cho thing, just wish you would have told me. I'm glad you're happy."

"I will, and thank you. You're with Fred aren't you?" he teased.

"Actually, I am. Don't tell him any of this either. It'll freak him out like he was at the beginning of the year about my night terror."

"Still have those?"

"I… Just don't do anything stupid. Got it?" I said.

"I promise. You do the same."

"Good. See you around," I walked out, heading to the common room. I couldn't tell him I woke up from my own night terror last night. I'm glad I was in the halls; but Snape was there. When I stepped in, Michelle was sitting with George on the couch. Almost everyone from Gryffindor was there.

"We all wanted to say good luck next week before we all got busy with other things," Fred smiled. I smiled back, hugging him.

"Thanks you guys. I guess it's not surprising to say that Fred and I and Michelle and George are couples now huh?" I asked, laughing a bit. Angela shook her head with a smile.

"Not one bit. We're all happy for you. How long?" she asked.

"Just a couple of weeks," Michelle and I admitted.

"How dare you keep it a secret!" she teased. I laughed.

"Hey, I heard that we're going to Hogsmeade before Christmas," someone said.

"Why?" another person asked.

"Because on Christmas there's going to be a ball. After that we get to go home to celebrate New year's with our families."

I smiled. Fred wrapped his arms around me.

"Don't you love how your birthday is the day before Christmas?" he whispered. I nodded, putting my hands on his. It felt right to be like this. I felt bad that I didn't want to tell him; but I'm sure he already knew… He always knows everything before I do. Well, anything that involves me. Both twins do. Same goes for them and Michelle. They really do have our backs.

"You going to be okay next week?" Fred whispered.

"I'll be fine, I promise. You don't have to worry."

"I will anyways."

"I know you will," I smiled, leaning against him. He hugged me tightly.
