Chapter 3: The second task
Harry woke up with a start. He had had the dream that has been having since the summer. Hey was in a house he climbed up the stairs to see Wormtail and a man he didn't know talking to Lord Voldemort. Voldemert then turned around and sent a green light at Harry. And then it ended that's where it always ended. He looked over at his clock it was only 5:30 am. He decided to go to the Prefect's bathroom and get the egg figured out so he grabbed the egg and left.
Harry arrived at the common room a bout an half an hour after he left. When he entered Hermione was just walking down the stairs to the common room with a book in her hands.
"What are you doing up so early" she asked
"I couldn't sleep so I went to the prefects bathroom to solve the egg"
"What did it say" asked Hermione excitedly
" It said: Come seek us where our voices sound, We can not sing above the ground, an hour long you'll have to look, To recover what we took."
"Well it's obviously under water, that's simple" Began Hermione "But now we have to figure out how you hold breath under water for an hour."
"Any ideas?" asked Harry
"No, but I have books in my dorm I'll go get them" She said as she started to run up to her dorm but Harry grabbed her hand and turned her around.
"Not so fast" Harry started with a small smirk on his face "I just realize that I didn't give you a good morning kiss".
Hermione now had a smirk in her face as well "You know what Mr. Potter I think your right"She began"Now how you plan on making up for it?"
"I think I have an idea" Responded Harry as he put his arms around her waste and she wrapped her arms around his neck and their lips touched. They kissed for a couple of minutes then Hermione went up to the dorm and got the books.
"This is useless!" sighed Harry as he slammed another book shut "we been looking for two days now and we still didn't find anything and the second task is tomorrow."
"We can't give up yet" Began Hermione who was in the library helping Harry. "There has to be something that will help you breathe under water in one of these books."
A couple minutes later when they were about to give up Neville came over to them "Hey guy's what are you doing?" He asked
" Neville no offense or anything but we don't really have time to talk" Replied Hermione " We have to find a way for Harry to hold his breath under water for an hour by tomorrow."
"Why not use gillyweed" Suggested Neville
"Gillyweed?" asked Harry
"Yeah it should work" responded Neville.
"Can you get some before the second task tomorrow?"
"I should be able to" answered Neville
"Alright so I'm all set" replied Harry
"Yes" began Hermione "but now you need some rest" So they headed back to the common room. When They entered Ron's twin brothers Fred and George walked to them.
"There you are" Began Fred we've been looking everywhere for you"
"Why?" Harry and Hermione asked in unison
"Professor McGonagall wants to see you in her office Hermione" replied George
"Why?" Asked Hermione
"I don't know go and find out." Answered Fred getting slightly annoyed.
"Fine" Responded Hermione "Promise me you will go to sleep right away Harry"
"I promise" responded Harry as he gave her a quick peck on the lips. They said their good byes and went their separate ways Harry went up to his dorm and went to bed.
"Where is she" Thought Harry. He has not seen Hermione since she left for McGonagall's office the night before and it was just minutes away form the second task. Harry looked around the crowd to see if he could find her but she wasn't there. He kept looking until he heard Dumbledore speak.
"Welcome everyone to the second task of the triwizard tournament' He began "Last night something was taken from each of the champions. There job is to go to the bottom of the black lake and retrieve it they will have an hour to do so. The y will begin when the cannon goes off." He finished. Harry then put the gillyweed in his mouth and he immediately started to shiver uncontrollably. The cannon blew and he dropped into the icy cold water. As he entered he felt a pain on his neck and he quickly placed his hands on his neck. Then he felt something bumpy on his just below his ear. In just a couple seconds he figured out what it was. He had gills. And soon he realized that his feet and hands were both webbed and that the water was no longer cold. So he began to swim forward. He swam for a while until he saw what looked like four people floating in the water. He continued to swim forward until he arrived. He was right they were for people. There was Cho, Hermione, The girl Victor took to the ball and another young girl with blond hair. Harry untied Hermione grabbed her and started to swim out of the lake. But he looked down and saw the 3 remaining people and decided to go down to make sure they all got to safety. A couple seconds later Cedric came and took Cho closely followed by Vicktor. Then just the blond haired girl was left. Harry waited and waited but Fleur never showed up so Harry decided to take the girl but when he went to take the girl a spear came up to his throat. It was a mer person
"Only one" they said. Harry waited a couple of minutes and then his gills started to go away along with his webbed hands and feet. He then sighed and pulled out his wand. He didn't say anything seeing as he couldn't talk but he said in his head "Incendio" The ropes that tied immediately burnt away and he swam out of the black lake.
A couple of minutes later Harry arrived on the dock with every one else. The girl went over to Fleur but Hermione stayed with Harry. "Are you alright, Harry?" She asked
"I'm fine, you" Asked Harry
"Fine, a bit cold though" she responded. So Harry wrapped arms around her and pulled her close.
"How's this?" He asked
"Much better" at this point Fleur had came over to them and said to Harry
"You saved my zister even she was not your 'ostage" she said "Thank you" she then bent down and gave him a peck on the cheek Hermione gave her an evil stare as she left. Then Ludo bagman began to speak.
"The scoring for the second task goes as follows miss Delacour Who used the Bubble head charm but was unfortunately was captured by grindylows will receive 25 points, nex mr.Diggory who also used the bubble head charm and was the first to complete the task will earn 47 points, Mr. Krum who used a incomplete transfiguration which although was not complete still worked rather well we award 40 points. Last but not least Mr. Potter who used gillyweed, Even though he was the last one to complete the task we were told he was first to reach the hostages so almost all of the judges agreed to award him second place with 45 points. Everyone bursted into cheers for the 4 champions. Harry Left with Hermione to the Gryffindor common room to prepare for the final task.
