Erin gasped for breath and found Gabrielle, Fleur's sister next to her in the water. She couldn't swim too well. Erin was disoriented. Where was Harry? She grabbed the girl keeping her above water as well as she could. She heard a splash from the docks and in a moment Ron was there in front of her. Everything was so confusing. He pushed Gabrielle from the water into the waiting hands of her sister before he helped Erin up to where two other Beauxbatons girls helped her onto the dock and then Ron.
Dumbledore was in front of her now. It was a mass of noise and confusion. He took her face in his hands. She saw the fear in his eyes. "You're safe? You're unharmed?" She tried to nod being unable to speak from the cold yet. She was shivering and he got a towel to put around her. "Get Madam Pomfrey over here immediately!" He told someone. She seemed to be losing consciousness because the next moment the woman was over here. "Bad reaction to the spell, Albus, I should have seen this coming."
"But it was supposed to be safe, completely safe!"
"I know! But now we see it isn't safe for her."
They were distracted by another splash from the water. Erin barely saw Erin come out of the water and land on the deck like a fish. Dumbledore hurried over. "Harry!" There was lots of cheering. "He's all right. He's all right. Barty!"
Seamus put a towel around Harry. "Get him another towel!"
"I want all the judges here, now!" Dumbledore was yelling.
Fleur hurried to Harry. "You saved her, even though she wasn't yours to save. My little sister. Thank you!" She kissed Harry and then went and hugged Erin. She saw Ron flittering between his two friends worriedly. "And you helped!"
"Yeah, a little." Ron said for once not that interested in Fleur. She kissed him.
"Ron, why are you wet??" Harry asked.
"Oh uh…"
"He jumped in the water, Harry!" Seamus said excitedly, "To help Erin and the girl out of the water. It was a sight to see…Dumbledore said they might have drowned, no one noticed you see. They didn't know that Erin—"
"Harry!" Hermione came over to see how they were.
"Hermione!"
"Are you all right? You must be freezing! Personally, I think you behaved admirably!"
"I finished last, Hermione." She kissed his head.
"Hermione, you're going to hurt him." Ron pointed out.
"Next to last," Hermione ignored him. "Fleur never got passed the Grindylows."
"Attention!" Dumbledore was saying and then used his wand. "Attention!" Everyone winced near him. "The winner is Mr. Diggory! Who showed innate command of the bubble-head Charm. However, seeing as Mr. Potter would have finished first had it not been for his determination to rescue not only Miss Black, but the others as well, we've agreed to award him second place."
"Second place!" Hermione whispered excitedly.
"…for outstanding moral fiber!" He quieted his voice. "How is she?" He asked Madam Pomfrey coming back to Erin.
"She'll be fine, Albus. I've taken the necessary precautions and she seems right as rain now." She had dried her clothing and given her a potion to drink.
Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone was fine.
