Chapter 25- The Second Task Part 2

Author's Note~ I know, I know. I left you guys hanging and didn't update for like… A LONG TIME! I'm sorry, okay? You guys NEED to review! Pleeeaaassseee! I updated, but now I need reviews! Thanks to everyone who DID review (this is BARELY anyone, btw)! Well, here's what you've all been waiting for!

Kaila and Maggie walked down to the lake after breakfast.

"Listen, just focus on getting your own hostage. Don't pull a Harry Potter on us!" Maggie instructed.

Kaila giggled nervously.

"Okay…I'll try."

"There's no try about it! You will get first place, or I will murder you alive!" Maggie shouted, causing other students around them to turn and look.

Kaila nodded obediently.

At just that moment, Malfoy ran up to Kaila.

"I just…err…wanted to tell you…uhm…good luck." He mumbled, looking at his feet.

Maggie looked at Kaila, and then at Malfoy.

"I'll be down at the lake." She said. Kaila nodded.

Malfoy looked up at Kaila.

"You have the Gillyweed, right?"

"No! I just left it up in my dormitory, thinking that I'm going to use it when it's all the way up there!" Kaila said sarcastically.

Malfoy raised his eyebrows.

"Sorry…Yes, I have the Gillyweed." Kaila said.

"Good. Now, just stick to getting your hostage."

"I will." Kaila said, nervously.

Suddenly, Malfoy did something that surprised her. He kissed her on the lips.

When Malfoy pulled away, he was blushing, which showed up quite well, considering his extremely pale skin.

"Sorry." He mumbled.

"It's okay. I've been thinking about breaking up with Krum, anyways." Kaila said, blushing as well.

All of the sudden, McGonagall's voice came from an intercom, saying,

"All champions please report to the dock to prepare for the task. Thank you."

"I'd better go." Kaila said.

"Yeah…Well, good luck." Malfoy said.

"Thanks…for everything." Kaila said, walking away.

"No problem…" She heard Malfoy say.

Kaila walked up to the dock, and took her place among Gabrielle and Krum.

"Good luck, 'Aila." Gabrielle said, smiling at her.

"Thanks. You too!" Kaila returned the smile. She looked over at Krum, who just nodded.

"Victor, I need to talk to you about something."

"Not now, 'Aila."

"Whatever."

McGonagall's voice came over the intercom again.

"Students, champions, professors. Welcome to the Second Task. In this task, the champions must get through the lake and find where there are 3 other students, and pick their hostage. Then, they have to make it up here, to the dock. Entering the water first is Miss Kaila Longbottom. Next is Mr. Victor Krum, and finally, Miss Gabrielle Delacour. Kaila, you may enter the water on my whistle."

Kaila put the Gillyweed in her mouth. McGonagall blew her whistle, and Kaila jumped into the water.
