AN: Yello! I'm back anyway, tell me what you think. 3 reviews for the next chapter!
You could still hear the music playing downstairs. Cedric grabbed my hand. He led me to the open space in the room. He waved his wand and then the room was silent. The waved his wand again but this time music for the tango started playing. I smiled. We walked away from each other. (Video is posted on fanfiction account). Once we finished the dance, we heard clapping. We both turned and seen most of the professors standing there.
"Well done," Professor McGonagall told us. I felt myself blushed probably twenty different shades of red. "Do you and Ms. Swan know each other very well, Mr. Diggory?" She asked.
"Yes Professor, I have known her since we were children. We have been dating since we were 14 years old and now she is my fiancée." He explained. She smiled.
"Now that explained everything."
"Lovely dance," Professor Dumbledore commented. "Where did you learn to dance like that?"
"Um, my mother loves learning muggle dances and she taught me so I taught Ced how to Tango." I explained.
"Do you think that the school should see them dance?" Dumbledore asked McGonagall. I looked at Cedric hoping that he could do something. He didn't even know what to do.
"Yes, of course I bet the children would love to see them dance." She agreed with Dumbledore. Then she grabbed Cedric and my arm and led us down to the Grand Hall. Students were still dancing to the formal music. When the all the teachers came in, everyone looked and asked what was going on.
"This is your entire fault, Ced." I whispered into his ear.
"I think I might actually take the blame this time." He said as Professor Dumbledore stepped up in front.
"I have announcement to make students." He took a deep breath. "While the teachers and I were wandering the castle, we've found a couple dancing, a dance that is called the Tango. The couple did not notice that we were watching till they were done. We have asked more like demanded that they come and show you the dance. Students, welcome Cedric Diggory and Isabella Swan to do the Tango." Cedric and I looked at each other as everyone howled. Professor McGonagall waved her wand at me. Mt dress changed from a ball gown to a latin dress. (On profile) I looked at her, she smiled and waved her hand.
We walked onto the dance floor. Then one of the professors started the music that we were dancing to earlier. The same dance that Cedric and I were dancing, we started again. When the dance was over all of the girls were screaming and the guys were whistling. Cedric and I shrugged and bowed.
"Thank you, Ms. Swan and Mr. Diggory." Professor Dumbledore told us. We both blushed and nodded. We walked back into the crowd and people said that our dance was very "cool".
"I am never doing that again." I told Cedric. He nodded agreeing. Then the regular music started playing. "Do you want to dance?" I asked him. He smiled.
"Of course." He grabbed my hand and led me to the dance floor.
For rest of the night was fun. We laughed as we danced. But the night can never last forever. Then morning came and we had to depart.
The next morning I woke up. I was groggy from the night before because Cedric and I danced the entire night till they stopped playing music. I got dressed into my uniform which was the blue dress and the hat. I rolled stockings onto my legs. Then Fleur came running in my room.
"Bella, are you ready we have a class with the Headmistress?"
"We have a class today?" She nodded. "Hm, I didn't know that."
"Only a few of us have the class. Not everyone does."
"Well, lets go. I am finished getting ready." She grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the room. We ran into the woods where a portion of our class was waiting at. I smiled and waved. They all smiled back at me and waved. Then the headmistress came up.
"Good morning, ladies."
"Good morning, my Lady." We all bowed to acknowledge her.
"This morning we will be learning something that no other school has ever learned before. We have the forest creature's magic on our side. We are part of nature. We flow with it, not against it. The forest has many thing to teach us and the forest will teach us something today. Come along." She beckoned us as we walked through the woods.
"Fleur, isn't this the Forbidden Forest?" I whispered to Fleur. She nodded. We met each others eye and looked back at the headmistress. I wonder what she is going to teach us. But still what did she mean that we will be learning something that no other school knows or learns. What is she hiding?
We walked for awhile in the forest till we came to a opening in the forest. "We are here." She announced. There in the middle of the field was a animal.
She walked around the field with her wand out. "Ladies, wands out." I took out my wand which 11 and ¾ inches, vine, and has a unicorn hair core. "We are going to be learning how to reflect a curse."
"What?" All of the girls questioned.
"There is always a way to do an opposite effect. Like the crucio curse, there is another 'curse' that can reflect it and do the opposite effect." I looked at Fleur and so looked at me. This is what my dream must have been telling me. "Saying the curse backwards will change the course and purpose of the curse. CRUCIO!" She yelled at the animal. All of us gasped. The spell kept going on then she said,"Oicurc!" Then the animal stopped screaming in agony. It went quiet and started looking happy. We all looked at her. "There is always a way to stop it. Now get into a line." She told us. "We are going to have you do it yourself. You will say Oicurc when I am using the torture curse on the animal." We all nodded.
We practiced all day. Everyone of us looked relieved that there was a way to reflect the curses. It was near night when we returned back to Hogwarts for dinner. We all walked into the Grand Hall where everyone was eating already. Everyone stopped and looked at us. Some of the girl broke off and sat at one of the other tables with their friends.
I walked to the Hufflepuff table, where Cedric was sitting. He scooted over when he saw me coming. I smiled.
"Where were you all day?" He asked as he kissed my cheek.
"The Headmistress decided that we need a class out in the forest. You know the usual." I lied. The Headmistress told us not to tell anyone. He nodded. "So how were your classes, darling?" I asked.
"The usual, boring and exhausting. " I laughed.
"Well, that does sound like the usual." He chuckled. I ate with him talking about our day, more like talking about his day.
"So did you find out what the clue is, Ced?" I asked. He nodded. "Really?" He nodded as he stuffed his face. I laughed and used my napkin to wipe the crumbs around his mouth. "Was I correct?" He nodded again. "Are we doing the silent treatment?" I asked laughing as his eyes popped open.
"No!" I laughed.
"I was kidding darling." I laughed again. When we were both laughing, everyone looked at us. Then his friend Caleb spoke up.
"What are you two laughing about?" He asked.
"I was just shaking and nodding my head. Then she asked if I was giving her the silent treatment."
"Then he got a horrified look on his face and stuttered trying to explain himself." I told him. He chuckled and went back to talking to his friends.
"So what is the clue?" I asked. He looked around and grabbed my arm. We walked slowly out of the Grand Hall and went to one of the many windows in the castle.
"Come seek us where our voices sound,
We cannot sing above the ground,
And while you're searching, ponder this;
We've taken what you'll sorely miss,
An hour long you'll have to look,
And recover what we took,
But past an hour - the prospect's black,
Too late, it's gone, it won't come back."
"That is what it said?"
"Yup and I have no ideal what it means."
"Come seek us where our voices sound, we cannot above the ground." I walked around. "What can't sing above the ground?" I kept walking. Then Cedric spoke.
"Remember what you said about mermaids?"
"Ye-" Then it hits. "Mermaids. The task has to do with Mermaids."
"An hour long you have to look to recover what we took." He said as he sat at the window. "I think that one is pretty obvious." I chuckled and sat beside him.
"Yes, it is." I looked at him. "What will they take?" I asked him.
"Most likely something that is most important to me." He looked down. "I don't care about anything but you, Bella." He held my face in his hands.
"They will take something special to you, Cedric. Whatever it is, you have an hour to look for it. If a hour past, then you'll lose it." I told him. He nodded. Then I smiled. "All we have to do is learn the location." I laughed as he pulled me into a kiss.
