He was quite good looking actually
It was the day of the first task of the Triwizard Tournament. Students of every house and school were placed in the stands they were normally watching Quidditch in.
The whole way there Ollie was moaning about not wanting to go and how it was going to be boring anyway. Frieda also was not too fond of going. If the rumors were true, the Champions had to fight against dragons and just thinking about that, her stomach started aching. But there was no use complaining. Evie was determined to see the spectacle and she was not going to do that on her own. So she practically dragged her friends to come with her.
When the trio was seated, the first task was already about to begin. "Do you reckon the rumors are true? You know...about the dragons," Evie asked keeping her words down for the second part. "I don’t hope so. Do you know what can go wrong with that? They could get badly injured from these dragons. They are pretty powerful. Here..."
Frieda started rummaging through the bag she carried getting out a copy of 'Fantastic beasts and where to find them'. "In this book it says all about them." "I know. I own one of those as well." "Yeah I know. But I doubt that you’ve even read one page of it." "Touché."
"Ladies!," a familiar voice called out. It was George making his way through the spectators along with his brother who added "And Ollie." Evie and Ollie rolled their eyes. "What do you want now?," the Ravenclaw asked. "Easy there. We just wanted to make you guys an offer," Fred said grinning. "You’re making a whole lot of offers these days, Weasley. What is it this time?"
"Can I maybe interest you in placing a few bets?" Evie did not look too interested in it but Ollie was definitely intrigued. "Can I bet against that prick over there?," he asked motioning his head towards Cedric who just entered. "Against? That’s not exactly how..." "Sure you can!," Fred interrupted his twin giving him a sharp look "That will be one Galleon then." Ollie handed him the money. Frieda was about to prevent him from doing so, until George started talking to her.
"How about you Frieda? Maybe put your money on Potter?" She could tell that he was not serious by the grin on his face so she decided on going along with it. "Thanks I‘m good. Wasn’t exactly planning on getting scammed today." The red head put his hand on his chest and fake gasped "Miss Anthemis. How could you ever think so poorly of me and my respectable brother. We are nothing but two innocent lads hoping to make some extra money."
This was the first time Frieda actually took a proper look at the tall Gryffindor. He was quite good looking actually. His brown eyes mixed perfectly with his red hair that grew a bit longer over the last summer. A genuine smile was plastered on his face. How did she never see this in all of the years they’ve known each other?
"Frieda?" She was pulled out of her thoughts by Fred who had a smug look on his face. "What?" "Sure you don’t want to participate? We’re making a special offer just for you." "As tempting as that sounds, I think I‘ll pass on this one." With that the two departed.
"What was that all about?," Ollie asked. "What do you mean? I just talked to them. You‘re the one who placed a bet against someone." "So? What’s the big deal?" Evie and Frieda looked at each other. How could one person be that clueless?
A bit of time has passed and Cedric was still trying to get the egg from the dragon. Frieda felt Evie taking her arm as she was tensely watching everything go down. "You okay over there?," Ollie asked. "Ssshhh." The brunette used her free hand to slap the laughing boy in order to shush him. "Somebody’s nervous that the hot Champion might lose his pretty face." "Ollie! This is serious. What if something actually happens to him? You will never forgive yourself when you’re nasty to him all the time," Frieda said slapping him once again.
"Why are you two so violent?" "'Cause you have to learn that just because you don’t like someone, you don’t have the right to be mean to them." "Guys, can you shut it for one second. He’s about to do it." And really. Right after Evie’s outbreak, Cedric managed to steal the egg from the dragon. Of course the Hogwarts students were overjoyed. Everyone besides Ollie.
