Prompt for 19th May 2020: Last minute confessions in the tent before the first task.


'Psst. Meet me outside,' Harry heard in his ear. He turned around, but he didn't see anyone next to him. Feeling rather confused, he managed to sneak out of the tent and, to his surprise, saw Hermione's head floating in mid-air.

'Get under here, quick,' she urged him. Harry grabbed the hem of his Invisibility Cloak and quickly threw it over him.

'I wasn't sure if I was allowed to come and wish you luck in the Champions Tent,' explained Hermione hurriedly. 'So I summoned the cloak from your trunk and snuck it out with me. I'm sorry I didn't ask for your permission, but - '

'It's fine, Hermione, don't worry. I'm really glad you thought of this, thanks,' said Harry gratefully.

'Anyway, do you need to go over anything?' asked Hermione.

'No, I'm good. I just need to concentrate, right?'

'Exactly,' said Hermione. 'Oh, and I wanted to give you something. You know - just in case.'

'Just in case what?' asked Harry, but Hermione had already pressed her lips urgently against his.

'Um - huh?' asked Harry dumbfoundedly.

'For luck. Now go, before someone notices you're missing,' said Hermione, pushing him out from underneath the Invisibility Cloak.
