The Second Task

Chapter ten

I thought I would get more reviews, but whatever. Go on and read.
Tell me what you think.

Being completely oblivious in a conversation is never a good thing. Especially when the conversation is about your brother having a dream about Voldemort. Again.

Gazing at my breakfast, I had no clue what the dream was about. Then again, I didn't care that much anyway. I was in my own world at the moment, and good luck at trying to get me out of it.

"Haylee, are you listening?" Harry asked waving a hand in front of my face.

"What?"

"Are you listening? I had a really weird dream last night." Harry said.

"No, I wasn't," I responded." And you always have weird dreams."

"But this one seemed so real."

"Wouldn't be the first time."

"What's up with you, Haylee?" Ron asked." You seem out of it today."

"You could say that." I said.

"Did it have something to do with the ball last night?" Harry raised his brow.

I nodded.

"Everyone must've had a good time," Ron said." I mean even look at the Slytherin's. They're all happy today too."

"Sucks for you doesn't it?" I asked." You guys had to go to bed."

"Shut up." Ron sneered.

"I'm sorry, but can we get back to me? I'm in a crisis here." Harry exclaimed.

"Still didn't figure out the egg yet, huh?" I asked.

"Not really, I know what it's saying. I just don't know how I'm going to breathe under water for an hour." Harry panicked.

"Calm down, Harry." I said." Why don't we all go to the library and help you out?"

"That would be nice." He sighed.

"I thought so," I said." Come on guys, let's go."

"Say it again." Hermione demanded.

"Come seek us where our voices sound."

"The Black Lake. That's obvious."

"An hour long you'll have to look."

"Again obvious, though potentially problematic."

"Potentially problematic? When's the last time you held your breath for and hour, Hermione?" Harry asked her.

"Calm down, Harry, we're just trying to help." I said.

"Sorry," He sighed." It's just that this is so hard."

"We can do this, Harry. The four of us can figure it out." Hermione said.

"I'd hate to break up this session, but Professor McGonagall would like to see you two in her office," Moody came up to us." Not you boys, just the girls."

"Don't worry, Harry, you can do this." I reassured him.

He nodded and we were gone.

"What do you think McGonagall wants?" I asked Hermione.

"I have no idea."

The large, wooden door opened, and Hermione and I walked inside. We were not alone. Cho and Fleur Delcour's sister, Gabrielle, were present also.

"Do you guys have any idea why we're all here?" I asked.

They shook their heads no.

"Good evening ladies," McGonagall approached us." I suppose you are wondering why you are all here."

Duh

"Yes." We replied.

"You four are part of the second task," She started." Each of you are going to be put under a very powerful curse in order for this to work."

"Wait," I interrupted." We're going into the Black Lake?"

"Yes, now as I was saying. I didn't want this to happen, but I was rolled out. Anyway, you will see a white light and you will be completely unconscious until you are retrieved by the person from which you were lost." McGonagall finished.

The white light was incredibly bright. After that I couldn't remember a thing.

Third Person

Harry, Ron, and Neville were walking slowly across the ground towards the next task the next morning, and Harry was freaking out.

"Where are Hermione and Haylee? We haven't seen them since last night?" Harry asked the two boys.

"I don't know," Ron answered." Do you think they're at the start all ready?"

Harry and Neville shrugged their shoulders, got onto the rickety,old boat and sailed across the lake.

A couple hundred yards behind them were Blaise, Bailey, and Draco.

"Dude, calm down," Blaise said." She's fine."

"How do you know?" Draco asked." Did you see Haylee at all this morning?"

"No, but I-"

"I rest my case."

"Don't be mean to him, Blaise," Bailey said." I think it's adorable."

"You think everything is adorable." Blaise recalled.

"Ha ha, very funny."

They too walked to the boats and went towards the second task.

BOOM! The cannon went off and the task had begun. The four champions dove into the water then could no longer be seen. Fifty-nine minutes later, Cedric poked his head through the murky water, swimming with Cho by his side.

"Wait, it's a person they were looking for." Bailey announced.

Right after Cedric Krum came with Hermione. There were only two people left. Finally, when all hope seemed lost, Haylee came up with Fleur's little sister.

"Thank God." Draco sighed as Blaise and Bailey laughed.

End Third Person

Breaking through the water made me realize something. The water is too damn cold. Oh my god! And in January none the less. What on Earth are these people thinking? I also realized that there was an arm wrapped around me. It was Gabrielle. Did Fleur finish the task? I guess not since I could see her on the dock.

"Hold on." I told her swimming towards the dock.

She nodded grasping me tightly.

"Gabrielle!" Fleur shouted once we were in ear shot.

She took her sister by the arms and hoisted her out of the water. Poor girl, a small child shouldn't have to go through anything like that.

"Where's H-Harry?" My teeth chattered. Damn it was cold.

"I don't know he-"

Before Hermione could finish, Harry flew out from the dark abyss.

"Someone get him a towel." Seamus ordered.

"All of the judges over here please." Dumbledore said.

"Thank god you're ok. I was beginning to worry." I told him taking my towel off of my shoulders.

"No, you need it more than I do." Harry said.

"Just take it." I demanded.

"Fine." He muttered.

Fleur walked up to Harry and me and gave her thanks for saving her sister.

"Don't worry about it." I said to her.

"Attention!" Dumbledore shouted." The winner is, Mr. Diggory!" The Hogwarts students cheered." However, seeing as Mr. Potter would have finished first if not for his determination to rescue his sister, but the others as well. We have agreed to award him with second place."

"Second place," I smiled." Not bad, Harry."

"Not bad?" Ron asked." More like brilliant."

"Whatever, Ron. Let's head back." I said.

I hate these stupid boats. It's amazing no one falls out

"Well done moral fiber." Fred and George congradulated.

"You see Harry, even when you do something wrong it turns out right." Ron laughed.

"Got that right," I said." Listen I'll see you guys at Hagrid's tonight. I gotta go."

"Go where?" Harry asked.

"She has to meet her boyfriend." Hermione smirked.

"Her what?" Harry exploded.

"Don't worry, Harry, he's cool." Hermione told him.

"Really?"

"Yes," I said." Now if you don't mind i have somewhere else to be."

"Be at Hagrid's at six!" Harry shouted.

"Will do!" I yelled back.

"He's such an ass." I rounded the corner." Hey guys."

"We thought you were a goner." Blaise said.

"Can't get ride of me that easiley." I laughed.

"Damn," I swore," Five-fifty. I gotta go guys. See you later."

"Where were you!?!?!" Harry exploded again.

"Calm down," I said." I'm here aren't I?"

"Ther' you 'r, Haylee," Hagrid smiled." We wer startin' ter get worried."

"Don't worry about me. I can take care of myself," I told them." Now explain to me one more time why we're going into the forest."

"Because no one will disturb us while we talk," Hermione grabbed my arm." Let's go.

Walking through the forest is such a nice experience at night. NOT!!!! I hate it out here. I never shouldv'e came. I shouldv'e just stayed with Draco, Blaise, and Bailey.

"So, how's, Derrick." Hermione asked as the boys walked ahead of us.

"Fine."

"How do yuo think Harry's going to react once he finds out?"

"I don't know," I answered." I just know that's not going to be for a while."

"That's probably for the best. Where did Harry go?"

"I don't know," I said." Harry!"

"Guys, you might want to come and look at this!" Harry shouted.

Found him

"What's up?" I asked as we came running.

Harry pointed his finger, and Hermione gasped.

Oh shit

Crouch was dead.

OK, I wasn't that impressed with this one as the last chapter. But it came, next one should be better.

Hit the green button.
