Harriet and Neville spent a lot of time with each other and he was with Ron and Hermione to.
She was just standing looking out a window thinking when she heard someone.
"Hey Potter!" Cedric called.
She looked up and saw him coming.
"Cedric." she said back.
"How, how are you?" he said.
"Spectacular." she said back.
"Hey I never got the chance to thank you for telling me about the dragon."
"Forget about it. You probably would've done the same for me."
"Exactly, you know the prefects bathroom? It's not a bad place for a bath. Just take your egg and, lower things over at the hot water."
She nodded and then went to the common room to get the egg.
When she got to the bathroom she turned on the water and set her egg next to her.
She looked at it. "I must be out of my mind."
Then she turned it open and it started to screech. She yelled back and then covered it again.
"I'm definitely out of my mind." Suddenly she heard something.
"I'd try putting it in the water if I were you." someone said.
"Myrtle!" she said shocked.
"Hello Harriet. Long time no see." Myrtle said and jumped out of the water. "I was circling a blocked drain the other day and could swear I saw a bit of Polyjuice potion. Not being a bad girl again are you Harriet?"
"Polyjuice potion? Keep it a habit. Myrtle did you say try putting it in the water?"
"That's what he did. The handsome one, Cedric."
She took the egg out again and put it in the water. She looked at Myrtle.
"Well go on, open it." she said.
So she unlocked it and took a deep breath. Then went underwater to listen.
'Come seeker where our voices sound. We cannot sing above the ground. An hour long you'll have to look to recover what we took.'
Then she just up again and coughing. "Myrtle, there aren't merpeople in the Black Lake, are there?"
"Oh, very good. It took Cedric ages to figure it out. Almost all the bubbles were gone." Myrtle said.
Then she sat next to Harriet who just sat there and thought.
The next day Harriet sat there thinking and not eating breakfast.
Neville was on his way to eat when he saw the look on Harriet's face and sped up.
When he got there he stood next to her.
"Harriet? Are you OK?" Neville asked.
She snapped out of it. "Huh? Oh, yeah I'm fine."
He looked at her not convinced. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." she said again.
"I've known you for four years. What's wrong?"
She sighed. "The next tournament is in the Black Lake. I have to find a way to swim under water for an hour. And," she looked around.
"And what?"
"Can you keep a secret?" He nodded. "I don't know how to swim."
"WHAT?!" he said shocked.
"Shh! I wasn't allowed to get swimming lessons."
He sat next to her and rubbed her back gently. "I have an idea of what you can use."
She looked up in shock. "What is it?"
"Gillyweed. It will let you breathe in the water for about an hour."
She gave him a tight hug. "Thank you! Do you know where I can get some?"
"I have some at home in my garden. I'll owl my gran for it."
"Thanks. You can borrow Hedwig if you want. I just finished a letter to Sirius. I can have her bring it with her."
"Thanks." So he wrote to her and then they went to the owlery.
"Alright Hedwig, this one on your right is for Sirius, and the one on the left is for Neville's grandma. Got it?" She nodded and headed off.
Then they headed to the common room, said goodnight and went to bed.
Sure enough it was the second task. Neville had gotten an answer from his gran and got some gillyweed with it. Harriet got an answer from Sirius saying she can do it.
When they were on their way to the task Harriet was worried about her friends and the plant not working.
"Calm down Harriet, they're fine and you can do it." Neville said.
She nodded. "You sure this is gonna work?"
He nodded. "Yeah. Good luck and be careful." Then they split up.
"Welcome to the second task. Last night something was stolen from our four champions. They'll have one hour to do so, and one hour only. After that they're on their own. On the count thee. One-"
Boom! Mr. Filch shrugged and shook his head while Dumbledore looked at him and then shook his head.
So while the others jumped in the water Harriet put the gillyweed in her mouth and had trouble swallowing it. Then Mad-eye pushed her down.
While she was down there she moved around. Then she felt gills and her hands and feet got flat.
"What's the matter with her?" Seamus asked looking down at her.
"I don't know I can't see her." Dean said.
Neville turned around with his hands on his head. "Oh my god! I've killed Harriet Potter!"
"YEAH!" she said flipping over the water.
Neville turned around while Dean and Seamus were laughing.
He sighed in relief. 'Why am I so worried about her? Do I like her more than a friend?'
Harriet looked around for hints and then heard something familiar. So she followed the sound and saw four people.
Ron, Hermione, Fleur's sister and Cho. She hurried up to them and put her hands on Ron. Then she looked around and untied his leg.
Then Cedric appeared and took care of Cho. Then he taped his watch and she nodded. She took out her wand and was about to get Hermione's leg when she was hit by a mermaid.
"But she's my friend to!" she said.
"Only one!" it said.
Suddenly a shark came and took Hermione from the string. She noticed that it was Viktor.
She looked around and didn't see Fleur anywhere. So she took out her wand and got her free. Then she took her arm and headed to the school.
In the surface,
Fleur had just been retired and was worried about her sister.
Neville was pacing just like Mad-eye but for a different reason. He was worried about Harriet and the plant wouldn't work.
Suddenly Cho and Cedric appeared.
"Let's get down to them." Dumbledore said.
Then Hermione and Viktor came up and Viktor started to get his real face back.
Meanwhile in the water,
Harriet was looking at her hand and saw she was almost back to her old self. Then some merpeople appeared and started to jump on her. She let the other two go and tried to get out.
While Harriet did that she hit the stunning spell at the merpeople and got them off of her.
While she did that the other two came up and Fleur hurried over to her sister while Neville looked for Harriet worried. She still wasn't there.
'Where is she?' he thought.
Back in the water,
Harriet was barely conscious but had enough strength to take out her wand and say something.
"Asendio!"
Then she was out of the water and on her side coughing, spitting out water and taking the best breath she could.
"Harriet!" Dumbledore said.
She spit out more water.
"You alright?" She nodded.
"Go get her another towel." Seamus said.
"I want all the judges over here now!" Dumbledore said.
Then Fleur came and bent down to her.
"You, saved her even though she wasn't yours to save. My little sister! Thank you!" She kissed her cheeks. Then looked up at Ron. "And you, you helped!"
"Well, yeah, a bit." he said. Then she kissed his cheeks to. "Marl's si." he said with his hand on his cheek.
"Harriet!" Hermione said and gave her a hug.
Neville went and sat next to her checking her breathing.
"Hermione ow!"
"You must be freezing! I alacamsiladios."
"I finished last Hermione."
"Next to last. Fleur never got her sister!" she said.
Then people started talking at once.
"Attention! ATTENTION! The winner is, Mr. Diggory! From using the bobble head charm. However Ms. Potter would have won had not been for her determination. We've agreed, to award her, second place!"
She smiled. "Second place!" Hermione said smiling.
Neville helped her up and smiled.
"See you at Hagrid's Harriet!" Ron said.
"Nice job." Neville said.
"Thanks. It's really thanks to you really." she said smiling.
They stood there quietly for a few minutes.
"So, you wanna go to Hagrid with me, Ron and Hermione later?"
He smiled. "Sure."
Then they headed to the common room so she could get changed.
