A/N time skips to toward the end of the second task

Cherry's pov

I looked down at my hands and horrified to discover that my transformation is wearing off. I did some quick thinking and push Ron and Fleur's sister to the water surface.

My eyes suddenly became hazy as I sink lower and lower to the deep end. I almost couldn't breath. Then before I know it

Everything went black.

Ron's pov

My eyes wide opened as I found myself floating on the water. Wait I remembered that McGonagall had a meeting with me and Hermione about the second task thing. I also saw Gabrielle (Fleur's sister) floating next to me and she looks like she is going to suffocate. I grabbed her arm and brought us to the shore where Fleur pulled us up. "OH MY GOSH YOU SAVED MY SISTER! MERCI BEACOUP (thank you very much)!" Fleur screamed. "Um I barely did anything... ok maybe." i babbled. Then I noticed someone is missing. "WHERE IS CHERRY?!" I demanded.

Cedric's pov

"Oh my god!" Cho gasped. "OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!" Hermione keep shrieking. I almost have a heart attack due to the girls screaming and yelling. "SILENCE!" Thank goodness Dumbledore stepped in and shouted. We all covered our ears and then everyone went quiet. I am pretty impressed by this though. "Please Dumbledore we need someone to save our BFF!" Hermione pleaded. "I don't want to lose her." Ron added also.

I bit my lip and thought for a while. "I will." I spoke up. Everyone looked at me. "What d'you mean?" Dumbledore asked. "Professor, please allow me to save Potter." I said and then Cho looked at me. "Are you out of your mind?! You just come back from the lake!" She exclaimed. I shook my head. "She helped me before, so this time it's my turn to save her." I said certaintly. Then I saw a bitter look on Cho's face. "Of course as a friend. We are just friends." I reassured. "But..." Cho stopped.

"Alright Mr Diggory I can see how much you want to save your friend. But if you decide to give up please go back and we professors will help." Dumbledore said.

"What?!" Cho exclaimed.

After putting on the bubble charm I dived into the water and took out my wand. I swam around but couldn't see anything except the seaweeds. It went on like that. I checked my watch and 15 minutes has gone by. No wait she must be staying in the water for 1 hour and 15 minutes straight since the second task took us 1 hour

What if she is dead by the time I found her...

I shook my head. Stay positive Cedric I told myself.

Hermione's pov

"AHH NO 20 MINUTES IS PASS!" I started panicking. "Calm down Hermione." Viktor told me and out of my eyes corner I saw Ron shot looks at him. "We Drumstrangs know the story of Potter already. Since she escaped from the hand of you-know-who I think that there might be some chances of her to be alive-"

"What kind of crap is it?!" Ron chimed in.

"RONALD! Mind your language!" I exclaimed.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY 'SOME CHANCES OF HER TO BE ALIVE?!" Ron ignored me. "I... bye- Viktor rolled his eyes and turned away.

"WAIT LOOK!" I pointed at the lake.

Cedric's pov

5 minutes ago

I saw something and swam toward it. I gasped. Cherry is here but her eyes are closed. I grabbed her arm and took us to the surface. "CEDRIC! OVER HERE!" Cho waved and Hermione screamed. I panted and placed Cherry on the floor. "IS SHE OK?!" Hermione demanded. "I-i dunno," I coughed as Cho handed me a towel. "Thanks" I said to her.

"she is fainting because of staying in the water too long." Madam Pomfrey said. "She would need to stay in the hospital wing."

"Guys don't worry! Miss Potter is saved." Dumbledore said in his usual loud voice and the crowd went wild. "It's time to announce the result- the first place is our Hogwarts champion Cedric Diggory!" There are more screaming and the Drumstrang look all sulky like. "Ha jealous much?" Cho said and laughed.

If it's in a normal situation I would already screaming my head off and celebrating with my friends. But instead I looked at Cherry who is still unconscious.

"... However Miss Potter would have won had not been for her determination. We've agreed, to award her, second place!" Dumbledore announced.

I looked at Cherry "Second place, eh? Congratulation, Cherry." I said to her although I know that she wouldn't hear me. I smiled to myself as Cho eyed me suspcious-like.

Now the second task is over and I visited Cherry everyday and sent her favorite flower red roses (she told me that few weeks ago).

"Ah hem Cedric Diggory." someone coughed behind me as I looked at Cherry.

I turned around and saw Cho

"Ahhhh" I exclaimed and she looked unamused.

"You two have been getting closer right" She asked. "What?" I asked back. "Don't lie to me. One time I saw you look like you are about to kiss her." She replied. I blushed. "Um listen Cho we didn't kiss or whatever. I just like her as a friend." I tried to explain. "LIAR! Blimey, I don't know why i would date a guy who lies and cheat on me all the time..." She cried and ran out. "WAIT A SEC YOU MISUNDERSTAND MY MEANING" I bellowed but she is gone already. I looked down and sighed.

Another week later

I am now in the DADA class. Suddenly the room went black and then scene changed. I saw myself in front of an old house and then I pushed opened the door. I walked to the second floor and heard someone speaking to Voldemort. A snake slided pass and i cringed. "Wormtail why don't you greet our guest?" the voice said and a shot man grinned all evil like. "AVADA KEDARVA!" And then a green light shot toward me.

"NOOOOOO!" I yelled and stood up.

"Excuse me Mr Diggory we are still in class." the professor said.

"Sorry I don't feel so well." I mumbled an excuse and got out of the room. What just happened? I can't remember myself falling asleep. But falling asleep in class is really unusal of me. i skipped the rest of the DADA lesson and went to the common room, trying to figure out what just happened.

Soon it's after school. I got out of the potion classroom and went to the hospital wing. "Cherry you're awake!" I cheered as I saw her sitting up. Hermione is next to her teaching her how to do the homework. "Oh hi Cedric!" Hermione said. "H-Hi," Cherry said also and blushed. "i already told her you are the one who saved her." Hermione giggled. "Yeah and the rainbow roses and are given by me and your friends ." I told Cherry and she went even more red.

"Do you have any problem in studying? I can help you too." I said also and sat down next to her. "Ok I will leave see you later Cherry!" Hermione winked and walked away. "WAIT" I shouted. Cherry looked at me. I looked away while blushing.
