The next morning, Adelaine was the first one to wake up. She got up and went to go take a shower. As she got out of the shower, Angie woke up. She got dressed and waited for her friends to get up and get dressed. The girls walked down stairs. The boys weren't up yet but Adelaine noticed Ginny was up.
"Good, I wasn't quite ready to yell at Fred," Angelina said, sitting down on the couch.
Before one of the girls could respond Lee walked down the stairs. He slipped in between Adelaine and Alicia and took Adelaine's hand.
"Morning Lee," she smiled.
He grinned that dimpled grin at her and responded. "Good morning, love."
Oh, that grin that made her heart flutter uncontrollably and she resisted the urge to melt.
"Have you been crying?" Lee asked, noticing the dried tears on his girlfriend's cheeks.
He resisted the urge to caress her cheek.
Adelaine nodded and said. "I sort of cried myself to sleep last night."
Lee glanced between Angelina and Alicia and asked. "So, I suppose she told you what happened at her internship."
"She told us. She also told us how Fred thinks she's cheating on you."
Lee sighed and said. "Yes, he does. He hasn't talked to me since the incident. George has become our middleman."
"You of all people should know how pigheaded Fred can be, you've been friends with him longer than I have," Angelina sighed.
"Should I feel guilty about this?" Adelaine asked.
Honestly, she did feel guilty no matter what Lee's response would be.
Lee glanced over at his girlfriend and said, "Of course not, love."
She's blaming herself a lot lately. Fred's just being an unreasonable git. Before Adelaine could respond Fred and George walked down the stairs.
"Frederic Gideon Weasley!" Angelina yelled.
The ginger in question smirked at his girlfriend and said. "What's going on?"
"How dare you accuse Adelaine of cheating on Lee!"
"She is and probably with Diggory."
Adelaine usually has a slow fuse but this is the last straw and yelled at the ginger. "Cedric is my brother in all but blood, he knows what I'm going through."
"I'm sure you told him and he took advantage of you in that state."
Adelaine had her best McGonagall glare and exclaimed. "How dare you accuse Cedric of taking advantage of me! He's a gentleman unlike the bloody cameraman who bloody sexually harassed me at the Prophet during my internship, you insensitive prat! Lee and Cedric have been helping me through it being the good boyfriend and honorary brother they are."
Fred looked gobsmacked at the confession and said, "I'm sorry I was a git." he apologized as his eyes flickered over to Ginny.
He imagined how he would feel if it was her in this position
"You can say that again." Lee snapped.
Fred didn't respond he just hugged his dreadlocked friend and his girlfriend.
"We get that you're sorry, Fred. Now let us breathe," Lee chuckled.
Fred's ears turned pink in embarrassment.
"Well, after that love fest we should get to breakfast," Alicia giggled.
The others nodded in agreement and they left the common room. They reached the Great Hall and sat down. Adelaine was absolutely starving.
It was a few days later, Adelaine was about to give Cho the 'hurt Cedric, I'll hurt you talk'.
Although, she had become quite fond of the younger Ravenclaw seeker.
"Adelaine?" the Asian girl asked.
She smiled and said. "Hi Cho."
"I suppose it's time for that 'talk' " she chuckled.
Adelaine nodded and said, "Yes, it is. Cedric is my brother in all but blood. If you hurt him, I'll hex you to oblivion understood."
"Understood," she nodded.
"Then I think we're done here."
Cho nodded, got up and walked away.
It was now the day the twins and Lee were trying out that aging potion which was Halloween afternoon.
"Here it goes, bottoms up!" George said, gulping down the potion and jumping across the age line with Fred.
Lee was quite hesitant. He had a right to be. It only took a moment and the twins were thrown back over the line and they had long white beards quite similar to Dumbledore's actually. They started to playfully wrestle.
"Come on, old men," Lee smirked at his friends.
They scowled up at him and asked. "Why didn't you try it?"
"Do you think I want to end up like you and ruin this perfect face," He laughed, running his hand down his face.
He really needed to shave now that he thought about it. They continued scowling at him as they stood up.
Lee walked them over to the hospital wing. They scowled at the matron who was also trying not to laugh when she saw the ginger twins.
Adelaine walked in casually a few minutes later and said. "Hermione told me that you tried that aging potion and told me I should try and control you since you're my best friends," she smirked.
"I'm much more than your best friend, love," Lee smiled.
Adelaine smiled at him and said. "That's true. So what happened?"
"See for yourself."
Adelaine glanced at the two gingers and busted out laughing.
"That's hilarious."
Fred and George grumbled and said. "It's not funny,"
"Whatever you say," Adelaine said, sitting next to Lee as he took her hand.
The couple waited for their friends to get out of the hospital wing. It was now time for the picking of the champions also known as Halloween feast.
"Mr. Viktor Krum."
He stood up from the Durmstang table which was the Slytherin table.
"Miss Fleur Delacour." Dumbledore said.
A petite blonde girl got up from the Beauxbatons table which was the Ravenclaw table.
Adelaine couldn't help but notice Fred, George and Lee staring at her. Bloody Veela charms. She saw Angelina glaring at Fred.
"Mr. Cedric Diggory."
Cedric stood up from the Hufflepuff table as Adelaine gasped in fear but clapped along with everyone else. Unexpectedly another piece of paper flew out of the Goblet of Fire.
"Mr. Harry Potter."
There was complete silence. Harry was barley fourteen, wasn't he? The feast continued and ended.
Adelaine was walking back to her common room with Lee.
"Something on your mind, love?" He asked.
"Nothing." she snapped, accidentally
Lee thought for a moment and asked knowingly, "You saw me staring at Fleur, didn't you?"
"I did."
He took her hand and said, "Don't worry about that, I was caught under her charms."
Before Adelaine could respond they reached her common room. They quickly said goodbye and parted ways.
Lee walked back to his common room. He walked in Angelina and George having a big row.
"What are they fighting about?" he asked, sitting next to George on the couch.
"About Fred staring at Fleur."
Lee sighed and said, "I had a similar conversation with Lainey, just now although ours didn't end up in a big row."
"That's why I like being single, I don't have to deal with jealous girls." George said, patting his friend on the back.
Lee nodded.
