It was a couple days later, Abby was in the library trying to help Cedric figure out a way to breathe underwater. So far, they haven't had any luck.

"There's the bubble head charm," Cedric suggested.

Abby thought for a moment and said, "That could work, Ced."

He nodded. They put away all the books they had taken out off the shelves and left the library.

"I wonder who your precious object will be?" Abby said, thoughtfully.

Cedric blushed and said. "Probably Cho."

"Why am I not surprised?"

Cedric nodded and said. "That reminds me I need to go meet Cho."

"Okay. Don't we have to do our rounds after that?"

Cedric said. "I think so."

Abby nodded. Cedric left the library and Abby sat at the table until Malcolm walked in.

"Hey Mal," she greeted.

"Hey Abs, did you help Cedric figure out a way to breathe underwater."

"I did. Though, I don't think he needed my help."

Malcolm nodded. "Who do you think would be your most precious item?"

"Probably Jay."

He smirked. "Not Lee?"

"No, my brother is a lot more important to me than Lee at least for now."

"I can see that. Mine would probably be you or Lila. If they allowed me to have someone that didn't attend Hogwarts it would be my mum."

"Thought so."

Malcolm sat with her until Cedric walked back in the library and it was time for their rounds.

—

It was now Valentine's Day, Abby was alone since Malcolm had finally got up the courage to ask Lila out so they went to Hogsmeade together. She decided to have tea with her godmother instead.

—

It was now time for the second task, Abby was walking with Malcolm and Lila down to the lake. They were walking hand in hand. She noticed the twins taking bets. She walked over to the two of them.

"Hey Albright, you want to bet?"

"I would but I don't don't have any money."

"You're worried aren't you, Abby?" Lee asked.

"That doesn't even cover it," Abby told him, honestly.

"Cedric will be fine, Abby."

Abby sighed and rested her head on Lee's shoulder as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders in comfort.

They reached the lake and sat down. Cedric and Harry went in first and then Fleur and Viktor. Fleur came up first. It turned out she couldn't get past the Grindylows.

Abby cringed she never really cared for Grindylows they were like evil mermaids and she loved 'The Little Mermaid'.

Next Viktor, came up to the surface with Hermione. Third, was Cedric with Cho. No surprise there. Last but not least, Harry came up with Ron and an unfamiliar small blonde girl, that must be Fleur's precious item. She saw a familiar looking redhead rush towards Ron. It was Percy she finally remembered. Harry and Cedric both received first place. Abby congratulated Cedric and helped Cho dry off. The task was over Abby breathed a sigh of relief.

—

It was now late June and time for the last task. This task was a maze.

"Good luck, Ced," Abby said, hugging him

"Thanks."

Cho gave him a quick kiss. Abby couldn't help but smile she really liked them together. The two girls went up to the stands before the task started. The whistle went off and they went in one by one.

"And now we wait," Abby sighed, nervously.

Fleur and Viktor came out subsequently. Now, they just need Harry and Cedric. Nobody expected what was coming. Harry appeared.

There was cheering until they noticed he was lying over Cedric's body.

"That's my son!" Amos yelled, running down towards his son's dead body.

Cho began sobbing. Abby was devastated as well but she comforted Cho instead. She'll grieve later. So many people she's cared about have died. She walked Cho walked back to Ravenclaw common room. She made her way back to the Hufflepuff common room. It was so quiet.

"Hey Abby," Malcolm greeted.

"Hey Mal."

"It will feel weird that I'll be the only one in the dorm now," Malcolm shuddered.

—

Professor Sprout and Professor Flitwick walked over and asked to talk to Abby and Cho. She was lead to Professor Sprout's office where she saw the familiar couple.

"This is Cho Chang, your son's girlfriend and this is Abigail Albright your son's fellow Prefect."

"How long have you been dating our son?" Mrs. Diggory asked Cho.

"Since September," Cho said.

Amos said. "It's nice to see you again, Abigail."

"You too, Mr. Diggory. I'm sorry for your loss. This isn't exactly the same but I lost my parents last year."

As much of a braggart as Amos was he said. "Thanks for your sympathy, Abigail."

"You're welcome."
