60. Gillyweed
**Hermione's POV**
"Tell me it again, Harry," I said.
"'Come seek us where our voices sound."
"Obvious, the Black Lake."
"An hour-long you have to look."
"Obvious again. Through, admittedly potentially problematic. Ronald! Wake up!" I said shaking his arm.
" 'Mione, let me see the egg,' said Fred and I tossed him the golden egg.
"Wait, potentially problematic? When's the last time you held your breath underwater for an hour, Hermione?" Harry asked.
"Harry, all five of us can figure this out. We will do this" I said sitting next to Harry.
"Hate to break up the skull session, Professor McGonagall wants you in her office" Mad-Eye said.
Harry got up and Mad-Eye said "Not you, Potter. Just Weasley and Granger."
"Which Weasley?" Fred asked.
"There are three Weasleys in this room," George said.
"Ron Weasley now off you go" Mad-Eye said.
"But, Professor, the second task is in hours away and-" I started.
"Exactly. Potter is well prepared by now and could use a good night sleep. Now on with you!" Mad-Eye said.
"See you later, 'Mione!" Fred said, waving.
"Bye" I waved back.
"What do you suppose Professor McGonagall needs us for?" I asked Ron.
"No idea," He whispered.
**Fred's POV**
"Longbottom, help Potter with his books." Bad-Eye said leaving and Neville came with Herbology books.
Fred and George were getting all the books ready and Neville said "You guys should know, if you're interested in plants, you'd be better off with Goshawk's Guide of Herbology. You know that there's a wizard in Nepal who's growing gravity-resistance trees?"
"Neville, no offense, but I really don't care. If there's a Tibetan turnip, that'll allow me to breathe underwater for an hour, then brilliant. If otherwise-" Harry started.
"I don't know about turnips, but you could always use gillyweed!" Neville explained.
"George and I are off to bed now, Mate. See you tomorrow" I said leaving with George.
"Bye, guys," Harry said.
We got to the common room and George asked "You're not worried about Hermione being with Ron?"
"She's with McGonagall! She'll be fine" I exclaimed.
"Alright, see you tomorrow Forge," George said, walking to our dorm.
"Night Gred" I said laying on the sofa and watching the fire.
Harry came in with Neville and Harry said "Did they come back yet? Ron and Hermione?"
"No, not yet"
"Harry, you better get some sleep," Neville said.
"Night, Fred" Harry said.
"Night, guys."
I fell asleep a few minutes later and it was morning and time for the second task.
"Bets? Bets?" George yelled.
"Come on, place your bets Step up, Mates! Don't be shy!" I yelled.
"Three lads!"
"One Lady!"
"Four go down!"
"But do four come up?"
I bumped into Ginny and she said Don't be so mean."
"Sorry, Gin," George and I said and continued with the betting until Harry came.
"Where are they?" He asked.
"I don't know, mate. I'm starting to get worried" I said.
"We better go, you guys. Come on, Mate" George said patting Harry on the back for good luck.
"You got the gillyweed?" I asked Harry.
"Check," He said, showing me the gillyweed.
"Do brilliant, Mate! Don't hold back!" I yelled to Harry as he went to the stands of the champions.
"Welcome, everyone! To the second task!"
