Harry's POV

Go to the prefects bathroom, he said. Mull things over in the hot water, he said. Yeah. Sitting in a bubbly, perfumey bathtub with Moaning Myrtle hitting on me was definetely the best way to figure out the egg.

You see, a few hours ago, Cedric Diggory, the other Hogwarts champion, told me to come here, the prefects bathroom, and try to figure out the egg in the water. I was a little weirded out but hey, Im not goin' anywhere with this egg by myself. Might as well do what Cedric says. Worked for him, right?

Well, Ive been here for, what? Fifteen minutes? Half an hour? And I still have no idea. But then, I saw the stained glass mermaid.

"Mrytle, there arent mermaids in the Black Lake, are there?" I asked the flirtatious ghost hesitantly.

"Job well done Harry! It took Cedric ages to figure it out!" With that, she snuggled in to my shoulder. Strange feeling when your in a a steamy bath.

"And, Mrytle, they sing underwater, right?"

"Mhmmm." She sighed dreamily, obviously enjoying the moment.

So I ducked under the seemingly endless sea of bubbles and in to the water.

-Cedric's POV-

I felt really stalkerish, doing this. Disillusionment Charms weren't the best thing, either, they could wear off just like that with one wrong movement and BAM! You're right back out in the open and everyone can see you. That's one reason why I had to be SUPER careful while doing this.

I had my hopes high that I wouldn't get caught, though. I also had my hopes high that the person I was 'stalking' liked me like I liked him as well. Yep. You guessed it. Cedric Diggory is a HUGE flamer. And he's in love with Harry Potter.

Why Harry Potter, you ask? I'm not exactly sure, yet. Other than him being totally shagtastic, he has a great personality. He's nice, loyal, loving, brave, and you know he didn't have to tip me off about the dragons.

I was tre jealous when Myrtle was getting all flirty with him. I guess that's one reason why they call her Moaning Myrtle. I was pretty sure he didn't know I was right in the bath with him, but you never know. And I didn't know if I would get a heads up when or if the Disillusionment Charm wore off.

After a while, Harry got the hint and took the egg underwater with him and listened to the song. I waited for him to come back up, for I couldn't be fully submerged in water or the charm would completely come off.

He came up in all his glory, wet, naked, and sexy. He looked at the egg one more time before closing his eyes and murmuring the Mermaid Song to himself. I could just faintly hear his velvet smooth voice crooning "Come and seek us where our voices sound, we cannot sing above the ground...". He then opened one eye.

"Myrtle, if I throw a stick, will you leave?" he asked, his tone harsh. I had to bite the inside of my cheek to keep from laughing. Myrtle scoffed and went up one of the taps. Finally, she was gone. And we were all alone. Finally.

He then opened both eyes. "Cedric, I know you're there."

My eyes widened as I looked down at myself. I was still fairly transparent. "But... how?" I asked.

He leaned over the side of the bath and lifted up a peice of parchment, waving it in the air. "This is the Marauder's Map. It shows everyone in Hogwarts and where they're at, and no charm, spell, ANYTHING can hide them. I just decided not to say anything until Myrtle left."

"Oh." I said smally, looking down. I then felt the charm coming off. In a minute, I could see my body again.

"Why are you here?" Harry asked.

I sighed. "Harry, I... I... I really, really, really, really, really, really, REALLY like you. Love you. I... I'm sorry I did this. I know you don't feel the way I do about you back. I'll just leave." as I started to get up, Harry said, "Wait, Cedric."

"What?" I asked, a little coldly.

"I guess you don't get the fact that maybe you shouldn't assume things. I like you a lot, too. I don't want you to leave. Stay with me." his eyes were pleading, his tone of voice genuine. I grinned and nodded. "OK."

Harry smiled one of his brilliant, perfect smiles, with his perfectly white teeth all in a perfect row. Everything about him was perfect. He swam over to me, sitting next to me. He put his head on my shoulder and sighed. His warm breath tickled my neck.

"I've liked you since my third year." said Harry. I sighed.

"I only just recently found out that I liked you." Harry then took one arm and put it around my shoulders.

"That's all right. All that matters is that you're with me now." he said. Then, I just couldn't take it anymore. I turned around, took him by his shoulders, pushed him up against the bath and kissed him with the force of a freight train going down the track at the speed of light.

-Harry's POV-

I'm so glad that Cedric did that. Following me in to the prefects bathroom took so much stress off my shoulders. I was planning on sneaking into his dormitory and getting him to go up to the Astronomy
Tower so I could explain that I've loved him since I was 13, but then I saw his ickle dot on the Map, I was so relieved… But I was also really scared. What if this was some sick joke? "Pay back Potter for taking the Hogwarts Champions fame" sounded like a good motive.

I had kind of doubted him, until he kissed me. That sealed it. Cedric Diggory was telling the truth. Either that or he just had a really convincing tongue. I was enjoying it until I saw Myrtle peeking out from one of the taps. I pulled away from Cedric and stared at her, to stunned to be angry. For the moment anyway. Cedric turned to see what I was staring at, and his eyes widened. In astonishment at what Myrtle had seen, or fear that she was going to tell the Hogwarts ghosties. Or worse. Peeves. I shudder to think what Peeves would do if he found out, damn little poltergeist.

But my astonishment quickly turned to fury, and I saw Cedric's expression doing the same.

"MYRTLE!! What do you think youre doing??" I shouted at her. "You were 'posed to swoop up the tap and go back to living in your S-bend! But you decide to just "drop in" and see what I was doing? Well, Myrtle, you watch your little ghostie back." I glared at her evilly, seething. She looked at me with terror in her transparent eyes, burst out in tears and swooped back to her toilet.

I turned to see Cedric staring at me.

"What?"

"You are so hot when your angry." He said, his face breaking in to a hooj grin.
