Rose turned around a corner in the hall on her way to the Gryffindor common room.
"Surprise!" Cedric said, scooping her up into his arms as he kissed her passionately.
"Wow," Rose said, out of breath. "This certainly is a surprise."
"What are you so excited about?" she asked as he set her back down, a look of pure glee on his face. "I figured it out! I figured the egg out at last!" he exclaimed, twirling her around once more.
"Oh my gosh, Cedric, that's great!" she exclaimed, kissing him passionately once more. "So...what is it?"
"Come with me, I want to show you," he said, grabbing her hand and practically dragging her down the hallway.
They entered the Prefect's bathroom and Rose gasped. It was enormous. The bathtub was the size of a swimming pool, complete with diving board. "Ok, mister," she said, turning to Cedric. "What's going on?"
"Get in," he said, gesturing to the tub.
"What?" she asked incredulously, though she had to admit she wouldn't mind getting in there with him.
"Seriously, get in," Cedric repeated.
"Ok," she said, stripping off her clothes one by one. When she turned around, she saw that Cedric was staring at her. "What? Like what you see?" she asked mischievously.
He cocked an eyebrow and pulled off his shirt. "Just gotta warn you, Myrtle gets a little horny," he said, pulling off next his pants and then his boxers.
"Noted," she replied, walking over the edge of the tub. "So...let's get in."
"Ok," Cedric replied, grabbing the golden egg and diving into the bathtub, emerging from the bubbles a second later, "Come on in love, its nice and warm!"
Rose jumped in and giggled. "I wish I was a prefect," she said, smiling.
"Well, since your boyfriend is Head Boy," Cedric said, turning the egg over in his hands. "You can come in any time you want. Now here, we need to go under."
"Ok then," Rose giggled, taking a deep breath before plunging her head underwater, her ears instantly taking in the most beautiful noise she had ever heard, and it was coming from the egg!
A minute later, they came up, breathing heavily. "Oh my gosh!" she exclaimed. "They're going to take something from you and put it...where?"
"At the bottom of the black lake...I don't know what they're taking yet though," Cedric said, leaning his head against the side of the bath and sighing.
"We should...you know tell Harry about this...it would be only fair Ced," Rose said quietly, afraid he'd get mad at her for suggesting it.
"Only be fair?" Cedric repeated. "Why would it be fair? His best friend hurt you and he barely did anything about it! Why should I help him?"
"He told you about the dragons!" she said. "Without him, you would have went out there, clueless and having to face a dragon. You owe him, Ced."
Cedric sighed once again and closed his eyes, "Ok...I'll tell him but you're going with me...but let's forget about that for now, right now...I have my INCREDIBLY sexy and gorgeous girlfriend stark naked beside me, and I plan on doing something about that."
"Like what?" Rose asked, cocking her head to one side. "Certainly nothing dirty I hope, Mr. Diggory."
"Oh definitely dirty Ms. Beaumont, you are a very dirty girl and I think you need a bath..." Cedric whispered, cornering her in the tub.
Rose giggled. "But what about you, Mr. Diggory?" she asked, straddling him and kissing his lips softly. "You need a bath more than I do, you dirty, dirty boy." They both laughed and started to kiss intensely when loud wailing came from one of the stalls.
"I think that's our signal to get going," Cedric whispered, not feeling like having another encounter from Myrtle. They quickly hopped out of the tub and grabbed their clothes, drying off before quickly shoving them on.
When they got out of the bathroom, Rose turned to Cedric. "Cedric," she began. "You don't think that they would...take a person, do you?"
Cedric furrowed his brows in thought for a second, "No...nahh, I don't think they would," he said, wrapping his arm around Rose as they made their way outside to find Harry.
They were walking down a bridge to the other side of the castle when they saw Harry talking to Hermione. Rose froze and Cedric turned to her. "Rose," he said. "What's wrong?"
"Uhm...why don't I stay here...you go tell him," she said, pushing a piece of her hair out of her eyes.
Cedric nodded and kissed her cheek. "I'll be back," he said to her then went over to Harry.
Rose saw Harry walk away from Cedric and then turn around as Cedric called his name again. A minute later Cedric walked back over to her, "I told him...I just hope he does it," he told her, taking her hand in his. Rose caught Harry gazing over at them from where he stood a ways down the bridge and waved to him before walking off with Cedric.
"So, how do you plan to survive under water for an hour?" Rose asked as they walked into the Entrance Hall.
"I've read of a charm, it's called the bubble head charm...it should work fine," Cedric said as though he was thinking out loud.
"Oh, ok," she said as the approached the stairs. "Well, I better go back up to the common room...I have some studying to do." She kissed his lips softly before heading up the stairs.

"Ms. Beaumont, the headmaster wants to see you," Professor McGonagall said, "you too Ms. Granger."
Rose and Hermione stood up and followed McGonagall to the headmaster's office. Inside the office were Cho Chang and a little girl from Beauxbatons. Both of them looked confused.
"You 4 are to be placed at the bottom of the Black Lake, you are the champion's most treasured things, or people I should say," Dumbledore said in a matter of fact way, getting straight to the point.
"Now, I will bewitch all of you so that you will sleep the whole time that you are underwater," he continued. "And awake when you reach the air. Now, if you would all form a line." The four of them formed a line in front of his desk. Dumbledore approached Rose first.
"Miss Beaumont, you are Cedric Diggory's treasure...well I'm sure you already knew that." She smiled nervously, then, he put the spell on her and everything went black.
