The dinner was loud, delicious and fun. It was a few hours of forgetting what would happen tomorrow. After dinner, when everyone was enjoying the tiramisu Moony had made, I slipped inside to go to my room to change my shirt, since Ron talked with his mouth full and spilled some on my shirt. I changed quickly and opened the door to my room to head back down. But the door was blocked. Blocked by two tall, handsome redheads.

"Finally." They sighed, stepping closer. "We get you alone."

As George closed the door, Fred wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close. He took me in for a few seconds before his lips crashed onto mine. I moaned softly when his tongue slipped inside my mouth. I could feel George's hands running up and down my sides before he finally cupped my breasts. I pushed my chest further into his large hands wanting to feel more of him.

"Oh, someone is needy." George purred in my ear. Fred twisted me and George claimed my mouth.

"We want to make you feel good. So, you are fully satisfied before tomorrow's task." Fred said behind me, his chest pressed against my back.

"And how are you planning on doing that?" I gasped as George's mouth left my lips to leave a trail of kisses on my neck.

"You will just have to wait and see." Fred said and then they simultaneously stepped back. I nearly fell backwards since I was leaning against Fred but found my footing just in time.

"That's just mean." I scowled.

"Oh, love." George whispered, tracing a finger over my lower lip. "If we could, we would devour you right here and now. But -"

"We are sure Lupin or Sirius are coming up to check on us if we're not back in five minutes."

"And what we plan to do to you, little Fae, is going to take much longer."

My toes curled in anticipation. Their smirks told me exactly that they knew what they were doing to me. They took a thorough sweep with their eyes around my room, taking everything in. Before George opened the door again and we all headed down.

At the end of the night, everyone started to floo back to Hogwarts. Aunt Cissy hugged Draco and said they will see each other soon before he stepped in the fireplace alone and disappeared with green flames. Before I could step in, Harry took me, Sirius and Moony aside to tell us about the memory he had seen in Dumbledore's pensieve. Moony nor Sirius seemed surprised by the revelation that Snape was a death eater. It had shocked me though. I didn't know what to think about Snape anymore. First, he didn't like me for who I was. Second, he acknowledged my potions skills but then he betrayed me and Moony by telling Lucius Malfoy about Moony being a lycanthrope.

But I pushed the memory aside because I – no- We had bigger problems tomorrow. We could think about all the rest after the third task, after the competition was over.

Once in the common room, everyone went straight to bed. When it was just me and my boys. They started kissing me all over as they guided me up to their room. I wondered if we were going to go to the next level. I wouldn't mind that, not at all. I've been wondering, dreaming about how it would be, the three of us.

But no, we didn't have sex. Their focus was solely on me and my pleasure. They kissed, sucked and played with different parts of my body until I came undone beneath their hands and mouths. Not once, not twice but three times. After that, I was exhausted. They curled around me holding me close, I could feel their own excitement against me but when I offered, they declined. It was my night they said.

I was drifting off to sleep when I heard them whisper in unison. "Be careful tomorrow, little Fae. We can't lose you." And it was real fear I heard in their voices.

It was the morning of the third task and my nerves spiked up to a new level. The twins were on either side of me, their bodies pressed close to my body. I could feel their own nerves for tonight radiate of them. Lee and Angelina, who sat in front of us, were eating quietly, like they too were already nervous for tonight.

After breakfast, my boys kissed me on the cheek and promised to find me after their final exam. All the champions were exempted from the finals, so I didn't need to go. Besides, the families of the champions would arrive any minute now, so they could watch the third task. As the Great Hall started to empty, I sat down next to Harry.

"How are you feeling?" I asked.

"I don't know." A little crease between his brows. "This task... it feels different."

"How so?"

He shrugged. "It's just a feeling, I can't explain it." He was silent for a moment, rubbing the scar on his forehead. "Professor Moody tried to talk to me about the third task again."

"That man really gives me the creeps." I shivered. "You stayed away, right?"

"Yeah. I trust your judgement, Alec."

I don't know why, but that statement did something to me. I smiled and hugged him tightly. "I'm so glad I met you, Harry."

He stood still for a long moment before he wrapped his arms around me, hugging me back. "Me too, Alec. Me too." I felt him smile against my shoulder.

When I saw Fleur and Viktor walk to the side room of the Great Hall, I parted with Harry. "I think everyone is here." I nodded my head to the small door.

When we stepped inside the room, Viktor was talking to his parents in Bulgarian, while Fleur spoke rapidly with her parents in French. Before I could turn around, Moony had swept me in his arms. His hug so tight, I could swear I heard some bones break.

"Hi, Moony." I smiled, even though he was crushing me.

"Hey, cub."

Over his shoulder I saw Harry being greeted not only by Sirius but also Mrs Weasley and Bill. When he released me, he asked.

"How are you holding up?"

I chuckled dryly. "Ask me again in a few hours."

"Right." He said with a frown and wrapped an arm around my shoulders.

After Sirius hugged Harry tightly against his chest and he got crushed by a hug from Mrs Weasley, he came over to me. Sirius looked a little hesitant as he stopped before me. But I couldn't help but rush forwards and fall in his arms. He hugged me as tightly against him as he did Harry.

"You are going to do great, Alec." He said calmly, but I could hear a little tremble in his voice, like he was afraid. "I'm so proud of you."

"Thank you, Sirius." I smiled as I pulled back. Mrs Weasley, Bill and Harry walked over. I was surprised as Mrs Weasley and Bill hugged me. We talked for a while before Moony smiled behind me.

"There is just one more person who wanted to come today."

No idea what he was talking about, I slowly turned to see Narcissa standing in the doorway. "Aunt Cissy!" I nearly yelled and ran over to her. I wrapped my arms around her, holding her close. She was like a mother to me, only one of the few female role models I had growing up. "I'm so happy you're here."

"I wouldn't miss it for the world, Alexandra." She beamed at me. "And I got you a little present." She took out a small box from her pocket and placed it in my hand. I clicked it open, and my eyes widened at the necklace in the box. It's a silver necklace and had a green rectangular diamond pendant. "It's for good luck. It's been in my side of the family for centuries and I don't think Draco will wear this." She chuckled. "So, I wanted to give it to you, my niece."

"It's beautiful." I whispered. Aunt Cissy took it out of the box and gestured for me to turn around. She pulled the necklace out of the box and hung it around my neck. It rested between my collarbones. I couldn't help but touch the green diamond with a smile.

After that, the seven of us walked around the castle. Each of them telling us stories about the adventures they had when they attended. We found out some funny stories, or things we really didn't want to know. Like what cupboards Molly and Arthur snuck in to make out. When we reached the Great Hall again, it was starting to fill with students. Exams must be done then.

"Mum? Bill?" I heard Ron say from behind me. I still got irritated by the young Weasley boy. I don't think I would ever forget what he did to Harry, or Hermione for the matter. "What are you doing here?"

"We come to watch Harry for the third task."

"And Alec." Bill chimed in with a toothy grin.

"Well, who wouldn't want to see Alec use her brilliant magic." The twins said, stepping up beside me. "Extraordinary, this one."

I nudged their sides with a soft smile. We all sat down at the Gryffindor table and Molly started asking her sons about their exams. We were all talking and laughing like we didn't have a crazy, scary third task in a few hours. But it was nice to forget, even for a little while. When Draco saw his mother sit with us, I waved him over. But he shook his head and sat down at the Slytherin table.

"Give it time." Aunt Cissy said. "He has changed so much already, thanks to you." I noticed Harry listening in as he glanced to Draco and back. Suddenly, Hermione came running in the Great Hall and sat down next to Bill.

"Hello, Hermione." Mrs Weasley said stiffly.

"Hello." Hermione's smile faltered from her cold expression.

Harry frowned, looking between the two. "Mrs Weasley, you didn't believe that rubbish Skeeter wrote in Witch Weekly, did you? Because Hermione is not my girlfriend."

"Oh! No – no of course not."

But we all knew she had believed it. Her face had turned beet red.

"If you should believe everything Skeeter wrote, -" I said. "I would be planning the demise of the other champions by using my friendship against them." I laughed.

"Or that you had a secret affair with Krum two years ago." Fred chuckled.

"Who said that wasn't true?" I raised an eyebrow at them.

"WHAT!?" The twins yelled loudly.

I couldn't keep a straight face and burst out laughing. Sometimes they were too easy to fool.

During dinner that night, there were more courses than usual. But I didn't really feel like eating. But Uncle Moony filled my plate with protein foods and forced me to eat a little bit. Saying he didn't want me to faint during the task. I suppose he was right and ate the little bit of food he had placed on my plate.

Dumbledore rose to his feet and the room fell silent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in five minutes time I will be asking you to make your way down to the quidditch pitch for the third and last task of the Tournament. Will the champions please follow Mr Bagman down to the stadium now."

When all the champions stood up, people applauded and wished us good luck and we followed Bagman out of the Great Hall. I looked over my shoulder one last time to see Moony, Sirius and my boys looking at me before I disappeared from view.

I hadn't been to the Quidditch pitch since the last time but the maze in front of me made my whole body shiver. It was almost seven meters high and covered the whole pitch. There was a gap right in front of us, the entrance. But it was dark, and eerie and a cold gust of wind came out of it. Five minutes later, the stands had begun to fill. And I started to look around for my friends and family. I found my family first. Moony, Cissy and Sirius were standing at the bottom right of the stands. A place that was probably reserved for family. Then my eyes found Fred and George, they looked nervous as hell but when they saw me looking, they put on a brilliant smile. And they mouthed.

"Good luck, little Fae."

I turned back when Professor McGonagall started speaking. "We will be patrolling the outside of the maze. If you get into difficulties or want to be rescued, send red sparks into the air. And one of us will come and get you. Do you understand?"

Everyone nodded.

"Off you go then." Bagman said brightly.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, the third task is about to begin. So, tying in first place, miss Alec Lupin-Black and Harry Potter." A roaring sound of applause filled the air. Harry and I took our place in front of the maze, we gave each other an encouraging smile.

"On the count of three. One...Two... Three." Bagman blew his whistle, and Harry and I darted in the dark, cold maze.
