Juliet huffed as she stood, leaning against the wall and watching Cedric throw his name into the large blue flame. She was well aware it was his decision and her many, many, many, begs for him not to wouldn't do any good. But it still bothered her, making it know with her crossed arms and the silent treatment.

"Oh, you can't still be angry with me." Cedric pouted as he walked toward Juliet, missing Ron's awkwardly waving to him with a grin that fell. Juliet saw and cracked a small, hitting Cedrics chest once he got close enough.

"Say hello to, Ron." she scolded him as Cedric turned quickly, seeing the redhead boy looking elsewhere now.

"Hello, Ron." he called out, getting Ron's attention once more as he looked over with a red face and waved at the two who were giving him a grin.

"Now, don't be angry." Cedric spoke while facing Juliet again, unlike Ron and Harry, he stood just a few inches over her.

"I will always be angry, this is your stupidest idea and you've had more of those then I can count on a elf's toes." Juliet spoke as the two stood side by side while fellow Hufflepuffs swarmed them.

"I doubt my name will even be chosen." He spoke to her with the grinning, knees weakening smile before the loud cheers of the Weasley twins running in caught everyone's attention. They had slips of paper in their hands, everyone around them cheering loudly as they ran through the Great Hall.

"I thought you said they weren't old enough." Juliet spoke calmly as she left Cedric to joined Harry and Ron.

"They aren't." Ron said while looking over at her, barely use to her being around but managed to keep himself under control, "They think they can cheat."

"Cheat? They can't cheat." Juliet spoke, giving Harry a wave from the other side of Ron in the middle of her sentence.

"Blimey, Juliet, I know that." Ron said to her with wide eyes before nodding toward his brothers, "But they don't."

"It's not going to work." Hermione sing songed after the twins began bragging about their genius plan.

"Oh, yeah?" Fred asked her as the twins planted on either side of her, "And whys that, Granger?"

"You see this? This is a Age Line. Dumbledore drew it himself." Hermione spoke confident as she pointed to the line around the fire.

"So?" George asked with raised eyebrows. Hermione scoffed as she shut her books and sighed.

"So... a genius like Dumbledore couldn't possibly be fooled by a dodge as pathetically dimwitted as an Aging Potion." Hermione said with a knowing look to the twins, getting her point across.

"Did she say genius? I wouldn't reckon he's a genius, a good man maybe, but far from genius." Juliet spoke, though they were out of ears link with Hermione, Ron and Harry heard her.

"Ah, but that's why it's so brilliant." George gushed up at Hermione with a grin.

"Cause' it's so pathetically dimwitted." Fred laughed as George joined in before the pair stood with their small potions in hand.

"Ready Fred?"

"Ready George!"

"Bottom up."

"Merlin, your brothers, your mother must be so happy to get a break now." Juliet spoke out loud as she elbowed Ron, making him look at her again.

"So she says." he spoke while the two watched the twins get past the age line, everyone cheering for them.

"Mad men." Juliet laughed but cheered loudly for the twins once their names slipped into the fire as well, Harry and Ron clapping alongside her as well.

Juliet suddenly pushed Ron behind her when the fire from the cup shot out, blue fire emerged as it swarmed the area, throwing the twins on the ground, "All right, Harry?"

"Fine, you?" he asked as she nodded before letting her arms fall as Ron cleared his throat and moved to stand beside her again.

"Uh, Juliet?" Cedric called as he walked over, watching the twins oddly that had grown to look like old men, wrestling the other on the ground, "Still coming with?"

"Course, one moment." she said while facing Ron and Harry, "Would the two of you care to join my friends and I down at the lake? Hermione is invited as well."

"The lake? What do you do at the lake?" Harry asked confused while looking up at her.

"Nothing really, but the stars are always perfectly marvelous." Juliet smiled, her pearly whites on display for the whole Great Hall, "Maybe Ill see you down there."

"Goodbye, Juliet!" Ron called, a little to loud, catching the attention of others as they looked over at him oddly.

"Goodbye, Ron!" Juliet called just as loud to spare him the embarrassment while jogging to join Cedric and the other Hufflepuffs.

"How can you not see it? Have the twins sold you something of the sort?" Juliet asked Hannah with a laugh as she pointed at the sky.

"Juliet, the stars are not making the shape of a Daffodil." Hannah said as Juliet leaned back in the grass she shock her head.

"What's she going on about now?" Cedric asked as he walked away from the small fire to join the two.

"She sees flowers in the sky." Hannah said with a look of disbelief.

"Not just any flower." Juliet defended herself as she sat up again, "I see the March flower, a Daffodil."

"Where do you see that?" Cedric asked while sitting by her side, a arm thrown around her as Hannah walked away from the all to oblivious boy and love sick girl.

"Right there, just a few inches away from the big dipper." Juliet said as she stared up at it, "Perfectly marvelous."

"Sorry, Julie, I simply can not see it." Cedric said as he got to his feet again, "You don't even like the month March... bad for your allergies."

"Yes, but it's when the flowers grow the best in the garden." Juliet spoke while looking up at him from on the grass still.

"Come on, lets go see who was picked for the tournament." Cedric said while pulling her to her feet with a grin ear to ear.

"Better not be you or merlin help me i'll give you the silent treatment." Juliet said as the two joined hands in a run back to the castle where everyone soon joined them, gathering in the Great Hall once again.

"Sit down please." Dumbledore spoke up, everyone was anxious and nerve raising to sit still, "And the moment you've all been waiting for, the champions section."

"Juliet, you look like you've seen a ghost." Cedric said as he elbowed her some, trying to cheer her up but the look in her eye told him the last thing she'd do is be happy. They all watched Dumbledore near the fire again, a name coming out as a few bounced up and down in excitement.

"The Drumstrang champion is..." he trailed off while pulling the card back, "Victor Krum!"

The school began to cheer in a manley and quite frightening way that caused Juliet to clear her throat and watch as another name was pulled.

"The champion for Beauxbatons... Fleur Delacour." Juliet did cheer for Fleur, who had helped her with a french world in a charms book just a few hours prior. Cedric squeezed Juliets hand, his warm palm pressed against the scratchy fabric as she squeezed back.

"The Hogwarts champion.." Dumblebore began as he looked down at the paper.

Juliet felt her heart drop at the name, the name of her best friend, the name of the boy she loved.

"Cedric Diggory."

Ron, Harry, and Hermione immediately watched Juliets reaction, seeing as she paled and sputtered slightly. Her hand left Cedrics but he hadn't noticed with all the Hufflepuffs and even a few of the other tables cheering him on. Juliets long legs caused her to travel fast out of the Great Hall, so fast no one saw her leave between the cheering and her quick steps.

Everyone aside from Ron Weasley.

Juliet didn't cry often, she absolutely hated the stuffy nose feeling and the throbbing head ace she'd get afterwards. Of course, she knew it was natural, but she tried at all cost to avoid crying.

That wasn't the case that night while she crying in the window seat of the abandoned hallway.

This hallway was Juliets favorite, no one came down it because of rumors of it being haunted. It wasn't haunted, it was quiet and beautiful and was a great comfort place. The moon was always bright at Hogwarts, but in a way, Juliet felt as though it shined brighter down into her tear stained face while she leaned her head against the window.

The heavy footsteps made her gasp and turn, not hearing until they where just a few feet away.

"Ron?"

"I saw you run off." he managed to say, his red hair and pale skin also illuminating under the bright light coming from the window, the only source of light in the hallway.

"You scared me." Juliet said as she looked away to whip her face in embarrassment, "Do you need something?"

"No." Ron said with a frown at her attempt to fake a smile at him, "You just looked pretty upset."

"I'm fine." Juliet said with a forced smile and a clear of her throat, "You should head to bed soon, curfew is in a few minutes."

"Right." Ron nodded with a faint look of sadness in his eye, "I'll just leave you with your thoughts."

He went to leave, walked quite a few steps before pausing.

Leaving her, alone and sad?

"Bloody hell." Ron mumbled as he turned on his heels to walk quickly toward the window seat she was in.

"What is it?" Juliet asked as she cleared her throat, Ron pushing her legs off the window to sit across from her, Juliet sighing with a sad smile, "You don't have to do this."

"I know." he told her confidently with a single nod, "But I am."

"He's really happy about this, and I know I should be for him but.." Juliet trailed off as he voice broke slightly as she looked out the window again to contain herself, "But i'm not, how could I be happy knowing he has a chance of getting hurt? A chance at dying?"

Ron was silent, letting her finish her sentence. He still didn't know what to say after that, what could you tell a girl that was right? Deny it and lie to her? He couldn't do that, not now.

"Harry's name was pulled." Ron spoke as Juliet looked at him confused, opening her mouth to say something before he cut her off, "Yeah, he's not of age."

"How'd he get his name in?" Juliet asked as she sat up better to look at him confused.

"Not a clue." Ron said with  a shrug of his broad shoulders and a faint look of sorrow, "You'd think he'd tell me though, his best mate."

"I don't think people quite care nowadays what their best friend has to think." Juliet spoke as she looked down slightly, "Ours don't at least.

Ron thought over his next words, he knew they could come off horrible and selfish but he said them anyways, "I'd tell us, I'd tell you."

"And I would tell you." Juliet said with a small laugh as he laughed as well, bumping his foot with her side as she did the same to him, "Reckon we might be better for each other."

"Reckon you're right." he spoke to her as the two laughed. That was easy with Juliet and Ron, they could say something they didn't mean and not be looked at as if they were insane or stupid. Juliet knew Ron and Harry were the perfect pair and in no way could she beat that, just as he knew the same with her and Cedric.

"Juliet." Ron said after it feel silent again, she hummed in response, "Why do you wear those all the time?"

Her lacy gloves.

Juliets face fell silently as she tucked her hands into her lap, wanting his attention off of them.

"Just a germ thing." she lied with a tight lipped smile, "You know?"

"Right." he didn't believe her.

"Right." Juliet said back as her light brown eyes met his greenish-blue ones... and suddenly they both forgot what they'd been speaking about.

She had a odd look on her face, a blink like she'd just arrived.

"Where's your head gone?" Ron asked as Juliet looked down at him. She was sat on his left leg, her arms around his neck with two cups of pumpkin juice infront of them. Juliet looked around confused, she couldn't remember being here.

The two were sat near a small fire in a corner of Hogsmeade, it was snowing outside and the shop was nearly empty aside from a few Hogwarts students.

"Jules?" Ron asked her again, nudging his head against her shoulder as Juliet looked at him quickly.

"When did we get here?" she asked. He found it odd, they'd just been talking like normal a few seconds ago and suddenly she seemed out of it, lost even.

"Not long ago, what's gotten into you?" the Weasley boy asked as Juliet stared at him for a second.

A dream. She recognized this was a dream.

"Sorry." Juliet said with a blink, tightening her arms around his neck with a grin, "Long day."

"Slughorn quiz you randomly again?" Ron asked with a grin against his soft lips, looking up at her with soft and happy eyes.

"No." Juliet said with a small giggle as she leaned into him more, their foreheads pressed, "Just a long day."

The loud gasp had startled Juliets roommates, sitting up to flick a light on and seeing the Knightly girl sat up straight with wide eyes and a flushed face, "Juliet? Everything okay?"

"I had a odd dream, Hannah, i'm sorry." she said with a blink and a hard swallow, "It just felt..."

"Real?" Hannah asked as Juliet nodded, "Take a breath and try getting back to sleep."

Juliet nodded as she laid back down, the lights out once more as she laid awake, thinking off the oddly real feeling dream she had of Ron Weasley.

Little did Juliet Knightky knew was that he had the same exact one just over in the Gryffindor tower.
