Cedric left Harry after a while, and then Harry carried on to Gryffindor tower by himself. The portrait hole opened, he stepped in and heard people arguing. He frowned to himself and carried on walking. There were no more than six people in the common room, including himself. There were two first years doing their last-minute homework. The other people were Amber, Hermione and Ron. And that was where the argument was coming from.

'He didn't do it!' Amber shouted at both Hermione and Ron, but somehow they didn't believe what she was saying.

'He was with ME the whole DAY! And when he wasn't with me, he was with you, Ron!' Amber looked at Harry coming in the portrait hole, she looked at him from Hermione and Ron and shouted again.

'TELL them Harry! Tell them you didn't do it!' She stared at Ron and Hermione hard, through furious slits.

'We believe you, really we do, but the thing is…' Hermione stopped; they all knew what she was about to say.

But Ron looked like he was still not buying it, hands in his pockets and a straight face. Harry really didn't even want to bother trying to explain what happened. He sat down on the sofa and leant back into it. Ron didn't say anything; he stomped up the stairs and went to bed.

'I think I'll go to bed as well. See you in a bit…' Hermione said to Amber and went up the stairs as well.

Amber made a high pitch grunt watching Hermione disappear up the stairs, she waved her free arm in the air and sat next to Harry.

'Why didn't you try and explain Harry?'

'I really don't think anyone will believe me.' Harry sighed.

'You could've at least tried!'

Harry didn't answer, just rolled his eyes and sank further into the couch. Amber knew he was disappointed in his friends, thinking that he really did put his name in the cup.

'For what its worth Harry, I believe you didn't do it.' Amber touched his arm lightly and waited for him to say something.

'Yeah, I know you do.' Harry smiled bleakly.

'So you've heard about the first task then?' Amber asked.

'How did you know?' Harry asked surprised.

'Hello, Ornate! I probably know more than Hermione.' Amber smiled, hoping Harry would laugh.

'Oh. I've forgotten about that.' Harry laughed once.

Amber smiled; she knew somehow how much he had on his mind.

'Maybe you should go to bed, in the morning you tell Sirius about tonight.'

Harry's eyes widened and then he frowned.

'How do you know about Sirius? I never…'

'Hermione, filled me in. I know more about you than you think. Yeah I know it's THE Sirius Black, but I always knew he was innocent anyways.' She rubbed his back hoping that he'd level out his thoughts.

'I think I should go to bed. You should maybe as well. Madam Pomfrey said so.' He said mockingly.

'Yeah yeah! I hear you.' Amber and Harry climbed the stairs together and went their separate ways when they reached Amber's room.

Harry creaked open his door and Ron was still awake. Dean, Seamus and Neville were all asleep.

'How did you do it?' Ron said abruptly as Harry walked over to his bed.

'Do what, Ron?' Harry snapped back.

'You know bloody well what! Thought you might let me know though…' Ron snapped back just as abruptly as before.

'You're being stupid Ron. You know I couldn't get past that Age line…' Harry shook his head and got changed into his pajamas.

'Yeah that's me. Harry Potter's stupid friend.' Ron covered himself up and rolled over again.

Harry got under his covers and looked at Ron. No one believed him except Amber, not even Hermione, and she always had common sense. Everyone seemed to be going mad, or was Harry going crazy. All those people in the Great hall, saying he was a cheat. Fleur thought he was too young, he even thought so. He couldn't sleep, not now, with all these thoughts bothering him.

The following week seemed to fly by, and the task was getting closer, and Harry didn't know what to do yet. Not only didn't he know what spells to use, but he also had no idea what the task was about. This Friday afternoon seemed to be going at normal speed, but Harry was still hurt that no one except Amber believed that he didn't put his name in the Goblet.

'Haven't you got any other hints yet? I mean you could get really hurt in this thing Harry, especially if you don't know what you're up against.' He and Amber were sitting in the common room, Amber on the poofy couch and Harry in front of the fire.

Amber was sitting with her legs folded up on the couch with a book in her lap and Harry was throwing little balls of parchment in the fire. Amber was reading up on advanced Defense charms, a book from the library, seen as though they didn't know what would happen in the first task.

'No, don't think I will either.' Harry said throwing another ball in the fire.

Amber looked up the stairs to see Ron, Hermione and Ginny coming down. Amber stood up and greeted the three of them, and then they saw Harry sitting in front of the fire. Hermione walked up to him and said something; he frowned and shook his head.

'What?' Harry said looking up at her.

'Um…Dean told Parvati that… don't ask me to say it again. Hagrid is looking for you.' Hermione walked back to Ron and Harry opened his mouth to speak, but Hermione looked at Harry over her shoulder and he didn't even attempt to get a word in.

'What was that about?' Amber asked

'Er…Hagrid is looking for me. Mind if we go there quickly?' Harry asked.

'Sure, this book is getting a bit much.' She slammed the book shut and threw it on a table nearby.

They walked down to Hagrid's hut and knocked on his door. It was unusually warm today, not like the past few weeks. Hagrid opened the door and let them both in.

'I was hopin yer would come down real quick. Got a little surprise fer yer Harry.' Hagrid looked at Amber, being licked on the face by Fang.

'I was wondering if yer could come down here at about midnight. Bring yer Invisibility cloak along, come in handy.' Hagrid winked at Harry, but Harry looked at Amber who smiled at him, she probably knew about the Invisibility cloak as well.

'Yeah I'll be here. What's this about Hagrid?' Harry looked puzzled.

'Yeh'll see tonight…' Hagrid whispered.

Harry nodded and then he and Amber left. Harry was wondering what this surprise would be; he needed something to cheer him up.
