Hey guys so this is going to be longer than my other chapters. Just because I feel it necessary. :D

Please tell me what you think.

"Have you opened it yet?" Kat asked excitedly. She jumped onto the couch in the common room, almost landing on Cedric. She receieved a disapproving look from him, "Well? Have you?" Cedric shook his head.

"I'm scared something might eat me if I do," he joked. He was doing this on purpose. Kat glared at him.

"Well something is going to hit you if you don't," she threatened.

"I'd rather be hit than eaten." Kat jumped at the egg in Cedrics hand. She ended up missing and falling onto the floor. Cedric stood up and held it above his head, far out of her reach. Kat stood up awkwardly and put her hands on her hips.

"Wow," she said, "Let's revert back to first year shall we?" Cedric just laughed, not putting the egg down, "I'm not going to jump to get it."

"You are if you want to open it," Cedric smiled. Kat took her right hand and pinched the inside of Cedrics arm. He cried in pain and dropped his arm. Kat took the opportunity and snatched the egg from his grasp. She smiled and laughed in triumph.

"That was completely unnecessary," Cedric glared as Kat hugged the egg to her chest, "Are you going to actually open it?"

"Sure," she smiled, "why wouldn't I?" Cedric shrugged. Kat put the egg on the table in front of them and Kat slowly unlatched the top. The egg fell open sending off a horrible screeching noise that quickly permeated through the room. Everyone covered their ears at the sound, "Cedric close it. CLOSE IT!" Cedric quickly reacted and pulled the egg closed. The sound abruptly ceased. Kat looked around at all the surprised and annoyed face, "Sorry," She chuckled awkwardly. She turned back to Cedric, who was working hard to control his speeding heart rate. She put a hand on his back, "You alright?" Cedric slowly shook his head staring at the egg.

"What does this mean?" he asked slowly, obviously confused. Kat shrugged. The pair stared at the egg, both trying to figure out this newly discovered mystery.

"Who are you? What do you want?" Cedric yelled, his wand at the ready. The cool air passed through the dark graveyard. Kat looked around frantically to see who he was talking to. Blurred figures could only be seen. She saw a flash of green light pass through her stomach.

"No!" Another voice screamed, "Cedric! Cedric!" Kats eyes grew wide she turned to face Cedric. She gasped as she saw Cedric on the ground, motionless. She ran over to him, reaching his side in seconds. She put a hand to his face. His eyes were glazed over, staring at the dark clouded sky above them. He felt so cold under her touch. She heard that same voice cry in agony. She turned again to the blurred scene in front of her. She reluctantly left Cedrics side. The figures in front of her seemed to be going at lightning speed. The scene slowed as numerous black-cloaked people appeared. Two of the figures stood in the middle; they seemed to be circling each other. Kat saw a burst of blue light shoot between them. A duel. She watched with curious- and scared- eyes. Both wizards sent a spell at the same time.

"Don't touch his you fools!" A voice hissed, "He's mine." Something burst from where the two spells were clashing.

"Kat," a voice whispered. She turned to another scene. It was the arena. Harry Potter and Cedric lay on the ground in front of her; they were the only ones she could see clearly.

"My boy!" A voice cried. Kat felt her heart sink as Amos Diggory arrived at his sons side; cradling his sons limp body.

"Kat," the voice whispered again. The scene changed in front of her again. She sat at the pond back home. A little boy stood in front of her. He had brown hair with black tips and had the most gorgeous green eyes she had ever seen in her life. He walked over to her and sat in her lap with a small thump.

"Mommy," he said, smiling up at her, "Where's my daddy?" Kat tilted her head at the question. She hugged him close to her.

"Kat!" the voice yelled. The boy slowly faded away, out of her grasp.

Kats eyes shot open. It was pitch black in her room and something was in her presence.

"Cedric what the hell are you doing here?" She whispered harshly. Kat quickly checked to make sure her roommates hadn't woken up.

"Jesse told me that you were sort of having a fit," he replied with worried eyes, "I came to check on you. Are you alright? You were crying."

"Yeah I'm fine," she said, thankful that the dark was hiding her blush. She recalled the dream she just had, confused to the fullest, "Ced," she continued quietly. Cedric grunted slightly back, rubbing his tired eyes, "Remember when I was about ten and I had that dream about Liam?" Cedric nodded in response.

"Yeah, you dreamt he fell out of a tree and broke his arm," he reminisced.

"And do you remember what happened two weeks later?"

"Yeah," he smiled, "That dog of yours got stuck in the tree and Liam tried to get her, but his hand slipped and he fell out of the tree."

"Exactly," she said.

"What does this have to do with anything?" he asked. Kat froze. She couldn't decide if she should tell him. Would you want your best friend to tell you that they saw you die? No.

"Nothing," she lied, "I just saw Fred accidentally turn himself into a baby." Cedric gave her a skeptical look.

"Then why were you crying?" he asked. Crap.

"Uh," she stuttered, "Be-Because I, uh, had to take care of him." She prayed her voice sounded more convincing to Cedric than it did to her, By the look on his face it didn't.

"Something's going on with you, " he told her, "But it's two in the morning. So were going to pick this conversation later," Kat nodded, "Okay, Goodnight." Cedric kissed her on the top of her head and walked out of the room. Kat exhaled the breath she didn't know she was holding. 'This could potentially be a problem.' She thought to herself.

Two Months later

Hogwarts was filled with chatter of the Yule Ball and the Second task. All the girls chattering about the Ball was starting to make her sick. She had an utter distaste for how much energy went into their appearance just so if a guy plucked up the courage to ask them they could turn them down. It was sad really.

She still hadn't figured out who she was going with. Fred and George offered to go with her, which she took into serious consideration, until Oliver asked.

"You know," Ginny said, "You really should go with Wood," Kat looked at her friend, who was currently making a snowman.

"You think so?" Kat asked getting up to help her roll the amazingly big ball Ginny had managed to create, "Merlin, It's like a boulder made of snow," she laughed.

"I know," Ginny smiled, "I'm so proud," She wiped a nonexistent tear from her face before breaking out in laughter, "But seriously Kitty. Why are you torturing Wood like that? I mean it's not like Cedric-"

"KITTY!" Cedric voice cried. Kat looked at Ginny with wide eyes.

"That was kind of creepy," she laughed. Both girls turned to see Cedric running toward them. His hair was dripping wet and he was in his muggle summer clothes, which meant he threw something on and ran outside.

"Cedric," Kat started, "You're going to freeze to death," she scolded putting her scarf around his neck.

"Kat!" he yelled.

"You don't have to yell when I'm right here," she told him calmly.

"I figured it out," he blurted out. Kat looked at him in disbelief.

"Really?" she exclaimed. He nodded, "Merlin, uh," she turned back to Ginny, "Gin I have to go. I'll talk to you later. Uh, find me at lunch okay?" Ginny laughed.

"Just go, Kitty," she smiled.

"Bye Ginny," Cedric and Kat yelled as they took off into the castle. Cedric lead Kat to the Prefect bathroom before coming to a halt in front of the bathtub.

"Why are we in the bathroom?" she asked crossing her arms.

"Jump in," he instructed.

"No."

"Why not?"

"Just tell me what the message is!" Cedric sighed.

"Ugh, fine," he closed his eyes, "Come seek us where our voices sound. We cannot sing above the ground. An hour long you'll have to look to discover what we took."

"What the bloody hell does that mean?" she asked.

"I have no idea," he sighed again, running a hand through his wet hair. They sat in the bathroom for hours, deciding not to go to Hogsmeade. They brainstormed numerous ideas like sea monsters, leprechauns, and other creatures like that; all those ideas were quickly discarded though. Kat looked to the stained glass window of a mermaid. Mermaid. Cedric and Kat looked at each other with wide eyes.

"MERMAIDS!" they both yelled.

"Okay, Ced," Kat started. They stood on the platform in the middle of the lake. The cheers of the crowd were blistering, "You know what to do right?" Cedric nodded.

"I think so," he smiled.

"No, " she scolded like a boxing coach, "You do know," Cedric nodded again as they heard Dumbledores voice boom over the platforms, "Be careful, Ced." Kat reminded him. He handed her his coat and went to join the others on the edge of the platform. The canon sounded and the four took of into the water. Oliver joined Kat in looking over the railing.

"He'll be fine," Oliver reassured, rubbing Kats back.

"I hope so," she sighed staring at the still water. Oliver removed his hand, falling into a short silence. Kat was completely exhausted; she had stayed up with Cedric for the past week figuring out the whole plan for the task. The railing seemed to be moving back and forth under her.

"Kat?" Oliver asked looking at her face, "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," she said smiling, "Just a little tired." Oliver nodded with a concerned look on his face.

"Come on," he told her, leading her away from the edge of the platform. He sat down and pulled her onto his lap, "Try to go to sleep." He instructed her; she was hesitant at first, but quickly became comfortable and laid her head on his shoulder as they watched the water for any sign.

"Oliver," she said quietly; he barely heard her over all the talk going on around them, but looked down at her, "About you asking me to the Ball," she started. Olivers smiled fell slightly.

"I understand if you don't want-" he replied looking back at the water, not allowing her to finish, but she cut him off in return.

"No!" she said, "I want to go with you," she smiled. Oliver looked back down at her in surprise.

"Really?" he asked, not sure if her heard right. She nodded in response before making herself comfortable again. She slowly drifted off to sleep as Oliver pulled a blanket over her.

Fred and George joined Olivers side halfway through the task and talked nonchalantly as she slept. They made bets about the winner of this task and discussed consequences for whoever lost the bet. A couple minutes past the forty-minute mark, Fleur emerged from the water empty-handed. Oliver found this a good time to wake Kat up. He lightly shook her awake and she immediately started to panic.

"What happened?" she asked.

"Fleur just came out," Fred said excitedly, "Something prevented her from getting to her treasure, uh, thing." Fred was practically jumping over the railing as George attempted to keep his twin from falling into the water. The scene made Oliver and Kat laugh.

A couple minutes passed before Cedric emerged from the water with Cho. Kat immediately grabbed a towel and the blanket that was around her and jumped out of Olivers lap. She wrapped the towel and blanket around him, strangling him with a hug.

"Are you okay?" she asked, making sure he had no head wounds. He laughed before taking her hands away from his head.

"I'm fine," he reassured. He looked over at Fleur, "How is she already up here?" he asked, angry that he didn't get back to the platform fast enough.

'She didn't make it," Kat said, mollifying him. Cho quickly returned to his side, clinging to his waist, but Cedric looked at Kat with wide eyes.

"But Kat," he said, "Her sister is down there," he motioned toward the lake. Kat eyes widened as well.

"What do you mean?" Kat asked looking down at Cho. Kat processed the information for a second, "Bloody Hell," She whispered, "But what's going to happen to her?" Kat's question went unanswered as Cedrics friends mobbed him and Cho, knocking Kat away from him. Oliver caught her before she fell into the water, "Thanks," she smiled. She returned to her spot next to Fred, who was now calmer than before.

Viktor emerged next with Hermione. Kats worries for Fleurs sister were relieved when she saw Ron and the young girl rise to the surface of the water with Harry shooting out of the water after them. Fred, George, Oliver, and Kat rushed over to meet him. Kat brought him a second towel as they waited for the results.

"The winner is Cedric Diggory," Kat smiled as she saw the small crowd around Cedric begin to cheer, "And we have rewarded Harry Potter second place." Everyone around her cheered and she gave a small smile to Harry, who gave her a thankful nod. Oliver returned to her side.

"I told you he'd be alright," he smiled. Kat looked at him with a smile of her own.

"You won a bet didn't you?" she laughed.

"Sure did," he smiled.

"What were the terms?"

"George now has to wear a dress to the ball." He laughed.

So there you go. Second Task in the bag. The Yule ball is coming up next. ;D
