A.N. Okay, so, second challenge. Fun! This one isn't as good as the first challenge, but what the heck, might as well do it, right? So read on, readers, read on!

The Second Triwizard Challenge

Harry ran down to the lake, gillyweed in his pocket just waiting to be eaten. Late, late, I'm gonna be late! Of even miss the challenge altogether! He thought as he ran. But, thankfully, he got there just in time. The look of relief on Hagrid's face was enough to make him very grateful that he hadn't missed it. He grinned, short of breath but there nonetheless. "I'm… here…" He panted. Percy acted like a prat, being all bossy and snobbish and I really don't feel like going into detail about him. He bugs me. Bagman stood up for him, though, but he bugs me too, so we're just skipping ahead to the Challenge.

"Well, all our champions are ready for the second task, which will start on my whistle." Bagman's booming voice told the spectators. "They have precisely one hour to recover what was taken from them. On the count of three, then. One… two… three!"

His whistle echoed shrilly in the cold air, and the stands erupted with cheers. Looking at the others, Harry noticed the advanced magic they were doing. Fleur and Cedric both had used Bubble-Head Charms, while Krum had gone with a more… peculiar approach transfiguring his head into a shark's. Harry sighed and raised his wand.

"Accio Ron!" He yelled. At first nothing happened, and he was afraid it hadn't worked. Then, his red-haired friend shot out of the water and landed on the ground at Harry's feet. Harry grinned. It may have been a bit repetitive, but really, what's the use of changing a good formula, anyway?

A.N. Well, the book did say (and I quote) "Ron quite liked the idea of using the Summoning Charm again" so you can't blame me for this one! It was Ron's idea! Don't believe me? Check it: American version, page 481, last paragraph, first sentence. And I'm not sure if Summoning Charms work on people, but this is my story, so I've decided it does. So :P

Anyhoo, review and tell me all your questions/comment/angry rantings. I'll pretend to give you crack cookies!
