A few days after Rita's shit about Hagrid we were all in the library finding a way to allow Harry to breathe under water for an hour and in Zac's case - studying for his OWLs and in Cameron's case helping Zac study for his OWLs. Well I say we all but Fred and George had wondered off God knows where and Mike was asleep using an open book as a pillow while the grouchy librarian Madam Prince glared at him. It was harder than you'd think trying to find some sort of spell or potion or something to help you survive an hour under water. I sighed as I tossed yet another book to the side that had nothing to do with what we wanted in it. Ryan got up and returned the rejected books to their selves and came back with another pile. We went through that pile pretty quickly.

"Okay we searched around about 500 books" summed up Ryan "And still have NOTHING"

"I know but there has to be something" I reasoned

"Well isn't this swell" said Leah sarcastically "I've wasted 5 hours of my life violating books for nothing. Nice knowing you Harry. Hey if he dies and they find his body can someone take a picture of it and give it to me?"

We all glared at her except for Mike but he snored slightly at her.

"Bye Leah" we chorused

And she left for the Ravenclaw common room.

"We better head back too, it's getting late" Cameron said "C'mon Zac we'll come back after dinner tomorrow"

"Yay" cheered Zac sarcastically and half asleep

I looked at the sleeping lump that was Mike and sighed and picked up a book from the table.

"Wake up!" I demanded of him hitting him with said book.

"Owie!" He complained "I think I have a boo boo!"

"C'mon"

Zac dragged him to the Gryffindor common room and Cameron set off for the Ravenclaw, Hermione, Harry and Ron followed Zac and Mike and me and Ryan made our way down to the Hufflepuff common room when we got there we parted ways immediately and went up to our dorms. Next day after a day of lessons and dinner we were back in the stinking library it was the night before the second task. Cameron had found a spell for Harry to use but it would take him weeks to teach it to Harry so that was bust. We had moved onto lots of weird books one included a spell to transfigure water into ... wait for it ... more water. This was as much use as a chocolate teapot. Hermione huffed as she set down Weird Wizarding Dilemmas.

"Oh this is no use" she said "Who on earth wants to make their nose hair grow into ringlets?"

"I wouldn't mind" came the voice of Fred "Be a talking point wouldn't it?"

We looked up as Fred followed by George came from behind some book selves. Fred grinned at me and kissed my cheek leaving tingles where his lips had touched.

"What are you two - the famous Weasley twins - doing in a library?" Ryan asked

"Looking for our dear brother. Minnie wants you and Hermione" George told Ron

Fred's eyes wondered to Mike's yet again sleeping form and chuckled.

"I see Mikes enjoying himself" he said to me as George explained that the twins were to take Ron and Hermione to Minnie.

"Oh you know Mike, thinks nothings more fun than two afternoons in a row at the library" I replied

"You mean you've been torturing him?! Tay I am very ashamed of you he may never be the same again!"

"Trust me he'll be fine. All he's done is pick up a book - the same book - open it then use it as a pillow"

"Don't blame him. See you at breakfast tomorrow morning"

With that he walked off with his twin, Ron and Hermione. Cameron decided that that was enough theory for Zac for now and would start on practical the day after the second task. Me and Ryan fed up with all the books retreated to our common room and swapped insults and teased Cedric about Cho. Then up to the dorms to sleep.

This morning was the morning of the second task. I bet Harry was nervous I think anybody would be. Speaking of Harry I haven't seen Ron or Hermione anywhere; surely they wouldn't miss the task would they? I went down to the black lake with Fred and found some good seats in the stands. We saw the champion's line up by the water's edge then a cannon ball went off and all four champions jumped into the lake. I clung to Fred's arm as we watched the water waiting for someone to resurface. Fred moved his arm to round my waist pulling me to him. Finally someone resurfaced but it wasn't one of the ones I'd been waiting for. It was Fleur, she was screaming about her sister. That's when I pieced it together. The things you would sorely miss. For Fleur it was her sister, Hermione must've have been Krum's, Ron had to be Harrys and Cedric... Cedric... His must've been Cho!

"No they didn't" I said aloud

"What's wrong?" Asked Fred

"Don't you get it they've put people down there that's the treasures the merpeople have stolen"

"You mean Ron's-"

"In the lake? Yes."

Aww see George isn't the only brother he cares about. We waited patiently for the other champions to reach the surface. For what seemed hours passed until Cedric finally came up with Cho and I let out of breath I didn't know I'd been holding. Krum was next with Hermione. Thank God she was safe but where's Harry and Ron and what about Fleur's sister they can't leave her down there. I can't imagine what Fleur is feeling is that was Trina even if she is a real pain in the ass sometimes - okay most of the time - I'd be so worried. Every minute was like an hour until Ron and a girl I recognised to be Fleur's sister came up to the surface I felt Fred relax beside me but I wouldn't yet. Harry had still not returned. I was about to go into panic mode when Harry burst from the water and landed in the docks. Grr Mr Potter how dare you worry me and you Mr Diggory, Mr Weasley and let's not forget Miss Granger.

We went down to congratulate and murder Harry and make sure the others are alright. Ryan was already down there talking to Harry about his use of Gillyweed and how he thought of it, Harry said honestly that a house elf named Dobby gave it to him and I vowed to take Hermione more seriously when it came to house elf's and S.P.E.W and to buy said house elf a couple pairs of socks. Fred was checking Ron was alright then we all went up to Gryffindor tower for a small party and me and Ryan being the lazy shits we are decided to stay there for the night. Ryan slept in the common room whilst Fred invited me to sleep in his dorm with him. I had one of his t-shirts as a night shirt which was very baggy on me and was more like a dress but it would have to do. Then I discovered the wonderful discovery that Fred slept without a shirt and the boy had a very nice chest if you know what I mean I guess this is what being a beater does to you. After checking out his chest for a while I snuggled up to him and fell asleep.
