Authors note: because of the whole party under the lake thing, a have made the teachers put a spell on the lake, so it's not foggy green for the day.

"Now, as I have told you at least a dozen times: no meddling, or looking for the giant squid, no exceptions.

Remember, the first one to reach the giant air bubble gets 10 points awarded to there house,

Once again no meddling with the giant squid,

Now, perform your bubble charms, Off you go then."

Hermione angrily preformed her bubble charm; who ever thought of having a party under the lake, oooooooo she was going to kill them. Dumbldores idea, no doubt about it.

Hermione quickly jumped into the lake before the teachers had a chance to push her in.

She had expected to be immediately enveloped in cold dark green water, and then spend at least ten minutes trying to figure out which way was north and which was south, What she got, what not at all what she expected:

The lake was as clear as glass. And was not a thick foggy green, but a lovely shade of dark blue, the only downfall was, was that the lake was cold as ice.

Hermione turned around a few times before heading off, the lake was so much more beautiful than what she had thought, you couldn't help but look around.

But suddenly, a thought occurred to her that drove all thoughts of the lake clean out of her mind:

"A few points wouldn't do my house any harm. . . ."

After a few minutes struggling with Grindylows, swimming as hard as you could, and painfully watching other students get ahead of you, You would come to a small cavish' sort of thing in the side of the lake, it was covered in a large blanket of seaweed. Unfortunately for the students, that blanket of seaweed was exactly what you had to go through to reach the giant air bubble.

. . . .

Hermione tiredly eyed the large blanket of seaweed that was blocking her path. She reached out her hand and touched it, When she pulled her hand back, she noticed a large piece of dirty seaweed come back out with it.

Hermione angrily thrust the piece of seaweed aside. The teachers had placed a sticking charm on the seaweed, to make the swim more fun for the students.

Hermione shut her eyes tight, and swam through. Hermione felt her hair being pulled as the seaweed attached itself on to it. "Get - Off - Me!" She managed to gasp. As if on orders, the seaweed dramatically recoiled its slimy grips.

Hermione instantly took advantage of its absence by swimming a few feet away from it.

Once a good distance away, she eyed the seaweed suspiciously. But even magical seaweed can get uninteresting after a while. She began to turn away, but something caught her attention: Two arms and two legs and a bubble-charmed head were sticking out of the seaweed.

"Neville?" she mouthed. Neville obviously hadn't noticed her, he kept struggling anxiously with the seaweed, from the look of it, it was winning.

"Neville!" she mouthed again, and immediately swam over to help him. She took out her wand and aimed it carefully.

"Stupefy!" she cried, a jet of what looked like boiling water burst out from the end of her wand. It hit the seaweed smack in the center. All of a sudden, the seaweed did something that Hermione had never seen seaweed do in her entire life: It rapped its slimy lengths around his arms, and pushed him into the open.

Hermione swam over to help him up, she looked around anxiously for someone that would help her; She couldn't deny that Neville was a bit on the heavy side, and she doubted very much weather she could drag him all the way to the giant air bubble and not go unconscious herself.

With relief, she saw two fully-grown wizards coming her way: They stopped, grabbed Neville by an arm each, conjured a stretcher, put him on it, and left.

Hermione doubted they had even noticed her existence. Bother that, she had more important things to do than wonder weather medi- wizards noticed her existence, she was trying to find the giant air bubble, and that was exactly what she was going to do.

Hermione kept on swimming for exactly thirty seconds before realizing that the water was tinted with a golden glow, Hermione turned around as quickly as she could; how often did the water turn gold? The fact was, it didn't. When water turned gold, it either meant you were having brain trouble, (not very likely) or that the water was reflecting something. Hermione gracefully spun around in the water: There was a small opening in the lake's Side, that, was where the gold glow was coming from. Hermione swam over to the opening; it was just the right size for someone to squeeze through, had they wanted to. Hermione stuck her head through: There, gleaming like a Volcano, was the giant air bubble.
