Harry

A/N: Hey guys! I'm so so so so sorry for the long wait, but life's been rough. Yes I know you guys are gunna be thinking Excuses excuses, but it's true. As this fic is AU, there are gunna be a few things seriously different than in the book, but it's the easiest way for me to do what I want, and Harry ended up staying with Remus for a month, and Sirius was there as well, okay? I would nick Captain Jack Sparrow's word, but I can't spell and I don't own the DVD to check on subtitles, so… Yeah...

On a slightly happier note, I got ABSO-BLOODY-LUTELY SOAKED yesterday! It was my school's Xmas extravaganza; yes I know it was rather early, so blame Mrs. Wynn.

Anyway…me, Ally, Lydie and Kiki did a stall called Soak the Teachers! We had our tutor; a History teacher (who is also one of the assistant heads); a Drama, P.S.H.E teacher and the other assistant head; and a music teacher, also head of all the arts soaking! It was soooooooooo fun! Especially as Mr. Hurley and Mr. Sizer got soaking. And all the money went to cancer research. We raised 53 pounds, sorry, my symbols don't really work at the mo. I also got soaked, but it was very cool.

So as I was writing this chapter I was listening to: Savage Garden: Take me to the Moon and back, Kaiser Chiefs: I predict a riot and Everyday I love you less and less, Red Hot Chili Peppers: By the way, Under the bridge and Californication, Shayne Ward: Summer of '69, Part of your world, in The Little Mermaid, A whole new world, from Aladdin and Bon Jovi: You give love a bad name and a whole lot of others.

Anyway…On with the fic, oh yeah, and this is going to be the last chapter of POV's. After this it goes into 3rd person. You know…I think this is my longest chapter…Just don't expect all of them to be this long…

Disclaimer: Yeah...I am J.K. Rowling, did you catch the SARCASM???????!!!!!!!!! If I was, my grammar wouldn't suck, and Sirius wouldn't have died. Snape and Bellatrix and Pettigrew...and Voldie would have. Oh yeah... There is a quotation from GoF, but it's done off the top of my head as I don't have the book on me, a friend's borrowed it from me.

Cheers to Rozzie for BETA-ing.

This chap is dedicated to silver9tails, for being the 10th reviewer, and updating her own fics. PLZ PLZ review, even if it is to flame me! PLZ!!!

Harry

Swim.

Swim.

Swim.

Swim.

Just keep swimming.

Just keep swimming.

Just keep swimming to the bottom of the lake.

Swim.

Swim.

God, is that all I'm thinking about? Oh no! I'm turning into Ron, only he just thinks of food not swimming.

Let me tell you a story…

My name is Harry Potter. I'm a wizard. I'm fourteen, and I've been entered into a contest I shouldn't have. Only seventeen year olds should have competed. But I have to compete.

There were three tasks. The first was to get a golden egg away from a fully grown dragon. And I got the toughest dragon, but yet I got past it the quickest! The second was is to swim underwater to the bottom of a lake and rescue someone. Well...it's easier than dancing. We had a 'Yule Ball'. It was a disaster between Ron and Hermione. They had a massive fight just because Hermione went with Viktor Krum.

I'm currently under water in our school lake. And halfway through that second task I told you about. I have to rescue my best friend Ron Weasley. And I'd bet that my other friend, Hermione Granger, is down there as well for someone else to rescue. I mean, they're not gonna be mean and make me rescue two people. Gred and Forge came up to us last night in the library saying they were wanted by McGonagall.

Seriously, when I was told I'd have to go rescue someone (an indirect comment from Professor Moody I'd overheard him one night while going down to the kitchens to nick some food), my first thought was my Godfather, Sirius Black. 'Cos even though I've only known him for less than a year, we've really gotten to know each other. Sirius would be impossible though, since he's still a wanted man and is in hiding.

He and Remus have told me loads of things about my parents. How my Mum was a bookworm and refused point blank to go out with my Dad. And how my Dad usually thought of the pranks, and asked Mum out at least 60 times a week. Remus said that Sirius came up with the prank operation names. Apparently he made one called "Bob the pig". They made this pig follow Snape around randomly saying "My name is Snivellius Snape, and I am gay." It had me in fits!

Wait a sec…I can hear something…

"Your times half gone…so tarry not…lest what you seek stays here to rot…"

I must be getting close. Yeah…I have to rescue Ron from a tribe of mer-people, and judging from those tapestries, they aren't exactly beautiful with golden locks. They're more like green wrinkled humans with fish legs.

RON! He's there! I can see him! And Hermione with him! And Cho! And some other girl. I don't recognise her. They're all tied to this big statue. Bugger. I wish I had Sirius' knife. I would Accio it, but, well…A knife flying through the air, dangerous! Could kill someone. And I'm not sure if it would work through water. Ah! There are stones on the floor. I pick one of those up and work on loosening the ropes around him.

As I'm doing that Cedric comes, he pulls out a knife and cuts Cho loose. He looks at me and mouths that Fleur and Krum are coming. He warns me to hurry up. Like I don't know that. He's obviously going to come first.

I finish cutting Ron away, and make to start on 'Mione, but the mer-men grab me, and stop me. Saying "Only one." In their weird scratchy voices. Then they randomly swim away screeching. I turn around and nearly get gobbled up by a shark. But it turns out its Krum. He snatches Hermione and swims for the surface.

Where's Fleur? It's been a while since Krum left, so where is she? I look at the young girl left. I think she's Fleur's sister. I weigh up my options and take her up to the surface with Ron. I grab them both underneath their arms, and start swimming.

God they're both heavy. Ron needs to go on a diet badly. Ooooh. My head. I've just gone light headed. There's a sharp pain in my neck where my gills were. They're disappearing. I'm struggling to breathe. The time's running out.

Out of nowhere Grindylows attack me. I push Ron and the young girl up to the surface and try to get rid of the Grindylows. It takes me a minute to reach my wand and another minute to stun them. I recall that it takes 3 minutes for brain damage and 5 minutes to die without air. It's got to be nearly 3 minutes now. I've lost all the fight to live. Sure Sirius will be upset, but he'll get over it. I think. I hope. I know. He's got Remus. And maybe Ron and Hermione will realise that they fancy each other and get together. If my death helps them to get together, then I'm all for it. I'll die happy.

Of course, I don't really want to die. But there's no way I'm getting up to the surface in time.

As I start to sink, I'm grabbed by 2 mer-men. They start to pull me up towards the surface, but it's too late. I'm going to die anyway. I look at them in thanks, but it is too late. My last conscious thought is too end it all now. Take a deep breath, and let the water flow down my throat. End my suffering. So I do. The water rushes down my throat and I'm drowning…

Drowning…

Drowning…
