A/N: Finally, the next chapter! This one is longer than the others… much longer. But please read and review!

"What's your favorite color?" Cedric asked her the next morning. It was early, before breakfast time, and he and Fleur were by the lake. "Lavender." Cedric was interrogating her with strange questions. Like, how old she was when she learned to ride a broom, and weird stuff like that.

"What's your favorite vegetable?" Okay, that was a weird one. "My fav-rit vegetable?" Fleur looked at him in a way that said, "I question your sanity." Fleur leaned her head against his shoulder, "Is asparagus a vegetable?"

"I think so."

"T'en t'at eez my fav-rit vegetable." There was a small pause, as Cedric thought of another question. Fleur felt like the luckiest person in the world, even though she was being asked strange questions. She was with Cedric, and that's all she needed.

"If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you be?" Fleur cracked a smile, it sort of seemed like he had sort of read her mind.

"W'ere ever you are, I will be." Fleur looked up at him, to see his reaction to her answer. He was smiling at her; his eyes had a little sparkle to them. He kissed her lightly on the cheek. Cedric obviously felt the same way.

Fleur was sitting at the Ravenclaw table with her friends, thinking about the nightmare she had had. Well, actually she was having a hard time remembering the rest of the dream. She remembered the end, but not the beginning. Whenever Fleur thought of it, she thought of the gold dragon egg, but why?

She closed her eyes, and tried to visit the place in her dreams. Everything came back in little flashes.

A wave - a mermaid - opening the egg - singing.

That was no help! Might as well give up it didn't really matter anyway, it was just a silly dream. She didn't need to think of Cedric's dead body under the lake... Fleur shuddered and took another bite of her dinner. It will come to her eventually.

She and Cedric were at the lake, the wind blew at them with such a force.

"We have to go!" Cedric yelled over the roar of the wind. They turned to leave but then Fleur stopped. "Wait!" she turned back to the lake, and picked up the gold egg lying in the sand, but did not turn back.

"What are you doing?!?!"

"Wait Cedric, I have to do this!" And with that, Fleur dove into the depth of the lake.

She swam deeper and deeper, looking for something - but what?

Fleur turned around, and saw a mermaid - Carmelita.

Carmelita spat at Fleur with her eerie voice "What are you - "She stopped mid sentence and stared wide eyed at the egg in Fleur's arms, and came closer.

Fleur was not comfortable with a strange and scary looking creature coming so close to her. Carmelita grabbed the egg and turned the knob. Fleur raised her hands to her ears, ready to block out the monstrous shriek of the egg but was surprised to hear... singing.

She listened to the music mesmerized, the rhythm was enchanting

"Listen to the words!" a voice in the back of her head told her - it was Cedric. Fleur did as she was told.

"I am the clue

You have opened me, in deep sea blue.

Listen to my words carefully,

So you don't lose, tearfully."

The song increased in tempo...

"Your goal is true,

Look for it in deep sea blue - "

The song was cut off. Carmelita had closed it, and dove into the sand, along with the egg.

"NO! THE EGG!" Fleur dug in the sand trying to find Carmelita and the egg, but they had disappeared.

Fleur woke up, "The egg!" she gasped and jumped out of bed. Fleur grabbed the egg and headed to the bathroom. She filled up the tub, and placed the egg inside and opened it.

Nothing Happened.

Fleur stuck her head underwater, and she heard the beautiful singing.
