disclaimer: I don't owe Harry Potter
Chapter 13: Lies and The egg.
Next day Harry slept in late, he was real tired from all that dancing the night before and hadn't been able to fall asleep into an hour after he went to bed. So Harry got up showered and dressed in a pair of slightly baggy faded blue jeans and a t-shirt and headed down to the common room. He didn't see Ginny anywhere and she wasn't one for sleeping in, so he guessed she was somewhere hanging with their friends so he left the common room and headed down the Great hall. He was too late to get any breakfast but maybe he could catch some lunch.
Harry noticed something weird as he walked down the marble staircase, students he passed pointed and whispered, some even called out rude comments. He ignore it. But the moment he stepped down from the last stair and headed for the Great Hall, Fred and George came out of the Hall and up to him blocking his way. To Harry's shock they both had their wand out and had looks of anger on their faces, something Harry had never seen before.
"Potter," Fred said. "I guess you've been hiding?" Harry looked at him confused.
"Yes, hiding while our sister is facing the embarrassment all herself." George said. "Even after the Howler she got this morning."
"Ginny got a howler?" Harry asked. Still confused he didn't remember Ginny getting in trouble. "What did she do?"
"What did she do?" Fred demanded. "She didn't do anything, it was all you, Potter."
"Me?" Harry demanded. "I didn't do anything."
"You think you can miss around with our sister and get away with it." George said.
"You have another thing coming." Fred said. "She's only fourteen for crying out loud. Mum's threatening to take her out of Hogwarts."
Harry took a step up, hand going to his back pocket where his wand was, just incase he need to protect himself. "Look, I don't know what you're talking about."
"Alright boys that's enough." A voice said, and Jesse and Cody stepped down past Harry, than stood in front of him, blocking him from the two very ticked off Weasleys.
"Cody, come on." Fred said. "This is our sister we're talking about."
"And Harry is my brother." Cody said. "You're my best mates, but I'm not letting you bully him, no matter what he did."
"I didn't do anything." Harry denied. Jesse shot him a warning look.
"Ginny told you herself nothing happen." Jesse put in. "You're getting all worked up over something that may or may not be true."
"What, may not be true?" Harry demanded. "Damn it, what the bloody hell is going on?"
"Harry, watch your mouth." Jesse ordered. He turned back to the Weasley's. "Go on, boys, we'll talk to Harry about it."
"About what?" Harry demanded. Nobody answered.
Fred and George both glared at him and warned it had better not be true, before walking off. Leaving Harry more confused than ever.
Jesse and Cody then turned to him and the eldest of the two did something that totally shocked Harry, he actually picked him up and threw him over his shoulder and him and Cody climbed back up the stairs and headed down the hall and then up another flit of steps and into the makeshift common room for the Aurores to stay while at the school. Nobody else was in here and after walking in Cody shut the door and warded it before Jesse sat Harry back done on his feet. He pointed at a dark purple couch.
"Sit, we need to talk." Jesse said.
"No," Harry said. And Jesse raised his eyebrows. "Not into I know what the heck is going on, why is everybody acting so weird?"
"Now!" Jesse said, his voice raising a little just enough to tell Harry he wasn't playing around and he had better do what he was told.
Harry huffed and sat down, crossing his arms. "I want to know why the bloody hell am I being treated like I did something wrong. And why did Ginny get a howler this morning? We haven't done anything."
Jesse and Cody glanced at each other before turning back to Harry. Jesse sat down in a chair across from the couch and Cody stayed standing with his hands on his hips.
"Harry, I want you to tell me what you and Ginny did after you left the Great Hall last night during the ball." Jesse said. If Harry wasn't confused before he sure was now.
"What's that got to do with anyth..."
"Just tell me." Jesse interrupted.
Harry looked from Jesse to Cody who gave him a look that said. He had better start talking, so he took a breath and explained everything, how Ginny had wanted some fresh air and they went outside and walked along the path to the fountain, how they stood in front of it hugged up for bit, then they both heard a nose coming from the bushes and how he had left Ginny standing by the fountain to cheek it out and then hearing Snape and Karkaroff's conversation and ended with how Ginny came to see why he was taking so long and after that they called it a night and went up to bed.
Cody sighed and ran his hand through his hair. "I knew it wasn't true." He smiled. But Jesse seemed worried about something.
"Now can I know what everyone is going all mental about?" Harry asked.
"Rita Skeeter." Cody said. "You and Ginny were on the front page of the paper this morning. A picture of you two in front of the fountain. She talked about the earrings you gave her for Christmas, mum's earrings, she actually said they were fake, anyway, Rita mention all the things you said to Ginny, then how you led her into the bushes and were in there for over an hour. And how you came out with your hair and clothes all messed up. Skeeter really made it look like you sweet talked Ginny right into the bushes to...umm..do grown up things."
"What?" Harry asked, not understanding what Cody was saying. "What do you mean..." he's eye's suddenly got big, and his face turned red, when he figured it out. "That's a lie, we didn't do anything. We weren't even in the bushes for five minutes."
"I believe you, Harry." Cody said. "But I don't think Ginny's parents believe her, they're here right now talking to Dumbledore, about removing Ginny from Hogwarts."
"What?" Harry demanded. "But she didn't even do anything, we didn't do anything, Mr. Weasley works at the Ministry, so he should know how Skeeter is, you can't believe a word she writes down on paper, hell Rita Skeeter may not even be her real name for all we know." Cody laughed a little at that.
"Harry," Jesse said. "Tell me again what Karkaroff had said to Snape?" Harry told him. "You sure he said it's been getting clearer and clearer." Harry nodded. Jesse's frowned deepened, then he stood. "I'm going to go talk to Dumbledore, Cody maybe you should walk Harry back to the Ravenclaw common room, he should stay there into Fred and George calm down."
"No, I'm going to see Dumbeldore with you." Harry said. "Tell Mr. and Mrs. Weasley what really happen and I want to be there for Ginny."
"Harry, that's not a good idea." Jesse said. "Cody, make sure he goes to his common room."
Harry didn't argue as Jesse left. Cody then threw his arm around his shoulder and walked Harry back to the common room. When he walked in the first thing he noticed was Ginny sitting in one of the bronze and blue strapped armchair sitting in front of the fireplace, nobody else was in the common room and when Harry entered Ginny looked up, and seeing it was him, she jumped to her feet and ran to him. She threw her arms around him in a hug and laid her head on his shoulder.
"Where have you been?" Ginny demanded. "I needed you, it's been so bloody awful. People whispering and saying things, then the howler came and next thing I knew I was being led up to Dumbeldore's office where Mum wanted to take me home, but Daddy didn't believe the paper, he believed my story, but it still took Dumbeldore to talk mum into letting me stay." Harry hugged her tight and ran his hand down her long fiery red ponytail, comforting her, then Ginny raised her head and ripped her eyes.
"Did your Mum ever start believing you?" Harry asked, reaching out and ripping the tears from Ginny's face.
"I think she did." Ginny said. "But Skeeter has now planted the idea into Mum's head. She told me I was too young to have a boyfriend and shouldn't be spending all my time with boys and wants me to find a girl friend and act more like a girl." Ginny shivered at the idea. She reached out and took Harry's hand, then ran her thumb across the top of it. "She wants me to break up with you, she believes all the stuff Rita has wrote about you and said I was to go nowhere near you."
Harry could feel his heart drop, he didn't want Ginny to go against her parents, but he knew he couldn't handle losing her. He swallowed.
"So what.. what are you doing to do?" Harry asked.
"Are you really asking me that?" Ginny demanded, she let go of Harry's hand and threw herself into his arms, then looked up and gave him a long passionate kiss, like she never has before, Harry kissed her back just as passionate. When they finally pulled away Ginny grinned up at him.
"Since when do I ever do what Mum tells me." Ginny said. "Daddy doesn't believe any of the things Skeeter has said, and he told me in time Mum will stop believing it too, and just try not to be in the paper anymore and Mum's mood should blow over by the time I go home for the summer."
"Thank Merlin." Harry said, laying his head on her forehead as he played with the bottom of her hair. "I couldn't stand losing you."
"I couldn't stand losing you either." Ginny said, she pulled away from Harry grabbed his hand and led him over to the chair she had sat in, she pushed him down then, to Harry's shock, climbed in his lap, sitting sideways. She put her arms around his waist and laid her head on his shoulder. He got over his shock and put his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him.
"I know we are only fourteen, but I know I really do love you." Harry said. "And I plan on being with you for the rest of my life."
"Same here." Ginny said. "And I told Mum that too, I also told her I was going to be with you even if I had to runaway to do it." Harry's eyes got big, Ginny and her Mum fought like cats and dogs, but she never said anything like that to her before. He said nothing though, just twirled the bottom of her ponytail around his finger.
Ginny raised her head and looked him in the eyes. "I swear I'm going to find out what Skeeter is doing to eavesdrop on us, it can't be legal. I'll make her pay." Harry smiled and laid his hand on her cheek.
"Gin, don't get all worked up over her." Harry said. "She's not worth it."
"Not worth it." Ginny said. "Harry, I came close to losing you because of her." Harry shook his head.
"No you didn't." Harry said. "Gin, baby, you're never going to lose me. I promise." Ginny smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck and begin to kiss him. They were so forces on each other they didn't hear the door open or did they know anyone came in the room into someone spoke.
"My eyes...my eyes." Teddy's voice cried. "Think I'm blind." They pulled apart and looked over to see both Rigel and Teddy standing there.
"Don't you two ever stop." Rigel demanded. Though he was smirking a bit. "Gee, get a room." They both blush, but still glared at the both of them as they came walking over and took a seat on the blue sofa in front of the fire. "Cody said you were hiding out here."
"But you can breathe." Teddy put in. "Mr. Weasley spoke with Fred and George, and Ron, he was ticked too, giving you all kinds of threats in the safety of the Gryffindor common room, but Mr. Weasley talked to them, and they've calm down."
"Thank Merlin, maybe I can finally get something to eat." Harry said. He then thought about Skeeter's story in the paper, and still decided against it and him his two friends and his girlfriend headed down to the kitchen.
Over the next few days Harry kept mostly hidden away, in either the Ravenclaw common room or the one the Aurors was staying in. Every time him and Ginny was out and about, people whispered and pointed. But by the time classes resumed the rumors had faded from most people's memories, being replaced by the next task coming up, mostly for the champions and their friends or family. Harry himself was the most nervous, having not yet figured out the clue. Even though nobody was supposed to help the champions Harry had went to everyone he knew would help for it. Cody had no clue, Teddy and Rigel had no idea, Ginny spent hours staring at the egg, with a frown on her face trying to figure it out, she did suggest that maybe the screaming meant someone was going to need saving, but then threw out that idea by saying why would the judges kidnap a student or teacher. And then would cruse the library for being no help, Harry even went to Jesse for help. He thought almost the same line as Ginny, but instead of saving someone needed help, Jesse thought maybe Harry was going to have to find some creature or fight one. But other than that he couldn't come up with anything.
Now Harry was pretty sure he was the only champion that was going into the second task with no clue on what to do, so he just gave up with trying to come up with anything and excepted is fate of looking like a idiot in front of three magic schools. On top of that their school work was getting harder. Because your owls are next year? McGonagall had snapped when Tony Boote had complained in transfiguration class. Snape though he shot Harry the most evil looks had taken to ignoring him. Something Harry was happy for.
February was now almost here and Harry was walking up to his common room one day after class with Ginny, when someone called his name, he turned around to see it was Cedric, who was standing at the bottom of the stairway holding Cho Chang's hand. He led Ginny down to them to see what he wanted. He let go of Cho's hand and motioned off to the side. So he let go of Ginny's and leaving her standing next to Cho he followed to see what he wanted.
"Have you figured out the egg yet?" Cedric asked. Harry shook his head.
"I'm going to be the only champion to show up for the second task without a clue on what to do."
"Take a bath." Cedric said. Harry raised his eyebrow.
"Are you saying I stink?" He demanded.
"No," Cedric said, laughing slightly, "Just take a bath, and take the egg and mull things over in hot water. It'll make it easy for you to think...Trust me." Harry just stared at him. "Tell you want, use the prefects bathroom. Fourth door to the left of the statue of Boris the bewildered on the fifth floor. Password's "pine fresh" ." And with that Cedric turned and walked away, motioning Cho to follow, and Ginny walked up to Harry.
"What was that about?" She asked. Harry explained everything to her. Ginny looked thoughtful.
You can it tonight. I'll come with you." She nodded. Harry's face turned red.
"What and take a bath with you in the room?" He asked. Ginny rolled her, her face now turned red too.
"It won't be a real bath, dumbie." Ginny said, punching his shoulder. "You'll where your swimming trunks." Harry nodded and took Ginny's hand and lead her up to their common room so they could get all their homework done before dinner. So they could sneak down to the perfect's bathroom when everyone was in bed.
That night Harry and Ginny waited into will after midnight before meeting each other in the common, Harry with his egg and dad's old cloak. Along with the Marauder's map given to him, by Cody in third year. Harry hide himself and Ginny under the cloak and she pushed open the door and they walked out, when it closed they could hear the eagle door knocker saying.
"What the..." Ginny snicker as they walked on. They got to the statue of Boris and walked to the door that was the fourth over from it. Harry whispered the password and him and Ginny went on in. Ginny slipped out from under the cloak and blotted the door, then charmed it just incase, and put a silence charm on the bathroom, so no one walking by could hear them in them talking.
"Wow!" Ginny said as she turned around. "I might become a prefect just to be able to use this bathroom." Harry nodded his head in agreement, then remembered Ginny wouldn't be able to see him, so he threw off the cloak and sat it a side. He went over to the swimming pool size tub, and turned on a few of the hundred tabs.
"Jesse was perfect." Harry said. "Head boy too, but he never mention how great this bathroom was." When the tub had filled with water Harry stripped down to the swimming trunks he had on under his clothes and got in. Ginny picked the egg up off the floor and carried it over to him, as she sat on the side of the tub.
"So, now what?" She asked. Harry frowned, looking the egg over.
"Maybe the egg doesn't yell when you're in water." He shrugged and then opened the lid, but the loud horrible screaming still happened, and Ginny threw her hands over her eyes.
"Shut it." She yelped, and Harry slammed the lid shut.
"Will there goes that idea." Harry said. Ginny frowned.
"What did Cedric say again?" Ginny asked. Harry explained it to her. She repeated after he did. "Take a bath and just mull things over in hot water...in hot water." Her eyes suddenly got big. "In the water, that's it, babe, you have to put the egg in the water."
"But if I do that I wouldn't be able to hear the clue." Harry said. Ginny rolled her eyes.
"Harry, really, it's a wonder you were put in Ravenclaw." She said. "You duck under water with it, silly."
"Oh," Harry said. frowning at Ginny's comment. But then smirked at her. "You saying I'm too dumb for Ravencalw?" He asked. Ginny grinned.
"Maybe." She teased. Harry sat the egg on the side of the tub. Then before Ginny knew what happen he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her down the tub with him.
"HARRY!" She cried, hitting him all over, he just laughed at her.
"That's what you get for calling me dumb." He said, he put his hand on her cheek, and they gave each other a long passionate kiss, before pulling apart, and staring into each other's eyes. Before Ginny's face took on a smirk and she pushed Harry's head under the water, and then grabbed the egg and ducked under it with him. They looked at each other best they could under water, Harry gave Ginny a nod, and she open the lead. A chorus of eerie voices singing to them from the open egg in Ginny's small hands.
"Come seek us where our voices sound,
We cannot sing above the ground,
And while you're searching, ponder this:
We've taken what you're sorely miss,
An hour-long you'll have to look,
And recover what we took,
But passed an hour-the prospect's black,
Too late, it's gone, it won't come back."
Harry and Ginny's head broke above the surface.
"It's a riddle." Ginny smiled, pushing her wet hair out of her eyes, Ginny was the best person to solve Riddles Harry knew. She grabbed hold of the side of the tub and climbed out. And sat there with her feet hanging in it. She didn't say anything as she repeated the words they heard.
"You'll have to find someone or something that can't speak above the ground." Ginny said. She looked at the egg Harry had closed and sat on the side of the tub. "Underwater, of course it's something that can't speak above the water." She chewed on her bottom lip. "What can that be?" Harry looked around the bathroom. His eyes fall on a picture of a mermaid snoozing on a rock.
"Ginny is there any merpeople in the black lake?" He asked. Ginny glanced up at the picture of the mermaid and her face then split into a smile.
"Harry, that's it." She cried. Then frowned, and her eyes got big. "You'll have to look for something the merpeople took, that you'll miss. And you have an hour to look under water for it."
"But what did they take?" Harry asked. "And how will I breath underwater." Ginny yawned.
"Lets figure all the out tomorrow, okay" She said. "We figured out the egg, that shouldn't be so hard." She stood and shivered, and hugged herself and Harry suddenly fault sorry for pulling her into the water as he climbed out of the tub, he picked up the his wand and waved it at Ginny and did a charm that dried her. She smiled at him.
"Thanks." She said, he nodded and did the same spell to himself before getting dressed, then him and Ginny left the room under Harry's dad's cloak. And headed up to their common room. Both still going over in their heads about what the riddle/song meant. As they climbed the stair Harry noticed something weird on his map, the name in Snape's office did not say Snape, but Bartmius Crouch. He frowned and showed it to Ginny who's eyebrows rose up. Either of them was paying attention to where they were going and Ginny tripped on the stairs and nearly fall, Harry reached both hands out to grab her and ended up dropping both the map and the egg, which made an awful banging sounds each time it hit a step rolling down before making a real loud bang. Then popped up letting the awful wailing.
They both froze, Harry threw the cloak over Ginny again, and pulled her to him, her hands going around his waist. Then...
"PEEVES!" It was Filch. They could hear footsteps coming nearer and nearer.
"What's that racket? Wake up the castle. will you?" His foot steps halted; there was a clink of metal on metal. And the wailing stopped- Filch had picked up the egg and closed it. They both held their breaths, if Filch came their way, he would find the map, and invisibility cloak or not, that map will show "Harry Potter" and "Ginevra Weasley", exactly where they was standing.
"Peeves, I have you now." Filch yelled. "Stealing from a champion."
"Filch, what is going on?" Snape demanded. Appearing in a grey night-shirt and looked livid.
"Gross." Ginny whispered, making gagging noises, Harry had to bite the inside of his jaw to stop from laughing.
"It' Peeevs, Professor." Filch said. "He threw this egg down the stairs."
"Peeves," Snape said staring at the egg in Filch's hands. "But Peeves could not have gotten into my office..."
"The egg was in your office, Professor?" Filch asked.
"Of course not." Snape snapped. "I heard banging and wailing-"
"Yes, professor it was the egg." Flich said.
"I was coming to investigate-"
"It was the egg, Peeves threw it down the stairs."
"When I passed my office, I saw the torches lit, and a cupboard door ajar! Someone has been searching it!"
"But Peeves couldn't-"
"I know he couldn't." Snape yelled. "I seal it with a spell none but a wizard could break!" He looked up the stairs right where Ginny and Harry was. Then back at Filch. "I want you to come help me search for intruders."
"But Peeves."
"I don't give a damn about that wretched poltergeist; it's my office I care about." Snape snapped so loud Ginny jumped.
Then more footsteps approached, and Harry thought he would be in even more trouble if they were seen, but to his relief his godfather Sirius appeared.
"What do we have here, boys?" He asked. "A pajama party?"
"Professor Snape and I heard noises, Auror Black." Filch said. Sirius raised his eyebrow. "Then Professor Snape found out someone has broken into his offi..."
"Shut up, Filch." Snape snapped. Sirius took a step closer, his eye glanced at the stairs and he saw the map sitting there, and his eyes grew big for a moment, before looking right at Harry and Ginny, then back at Snape and Filch.
"Someone broke in your office?" Sirius said. "Now why on earth would someone do that?"
"Some brat, I daresay." Snape said. "Stealing potion ingredients. It's happen before." Snape took a step toward Sirius this time. "In fact your godson is probably behind it." Ginny had to clap her hand over Harry's mouth to stop him from yelling out. "Or that nephew of yours."
"Don't go accusing anybody of anything." Sirius warned. "You just keep your greasy ass away from my nephew and don't you even think about doing anything to my godsons, any of them." He stepped closer to Snape. "Sure it was just students, maybe you got something to hide."
"I do not answer to you, Black." Snape snapped, his lip curling. "Dumbledore trusts me..."
"Yeah, well, we know Dumbeldore puts his trust were a not of people wouldn't." Sirius said. "He's big on second chances, but I say there are some spots that can't come off." Snape glared at Sirius and for some reason his hand went to his left forearm. Sirius smirked.
"Heard noises you say?" Sirius said. "Not having nightmares about the umm...bogeyman are you, Snape." Snape glared at Sirius, then his eyes fall on the Marauder's map, then to the egg in Filch's hands and then to where Harry and Ginny was standing.
"Potter," He suddenly cried. Sirius' eyebrow rose.
"Umm..no the name's Black." he said. Snape ignore him.
"That's Potter's egg, that piece of parchment laying there is Potter's I've seen him with it." Snape stepped up on the stairs and held out his hands. Harry and Ginny backed away. "Potter is here under his invisibility cloak."
"There is no one here, but us, Snape." Sirius said. "But I'll let Jesse know how quick your mind jumps to his little brother."
"What's that suppose to mean?" Snape snapped. He dropped his heads and turned around.
"Just what I said." Sirius said.
"You're just trying to cover up for your godson." Snape snapped. "He is here somewhere." And while Snape was glaring at Sirius, and Filch was staring at the golden egg, Ginny took the chance and before Harry could stop her she stepped out from under the cloak.
"It's me." She cried, and bent down and picked up the map and put it in her back pocket. Everyone looked at her shocked. Except for Sirius who was staring at Harry, he had seen when Ginny stepped out from under the cloak and had seen part of Harry. "I...I was the one out of bed, I had Harry's egg. The parchment is just a love letter Harry wrote me. I..I tripped and dropped them both."
"You had Potter's egg?" Snape said. "You do realize Miss. Weasley, that the school champions are not allowed help."
"I know." Ginny said. "I wasn't helping Harry...I was hiding the egg."
"This should be good." Snape curled his lip. "Why were you hiding Potter's egg, incase you didn't know this is not Easter." Harry saw Ginny's hands bail into fist. Then she took a deep breath, and burst into fake tears, sitting on the steps and putting her face on her legs.
"Harry, hasn't figured out the clue yet." She cried. "And I thought if I hide the egg, he would never figure it out, and then wouldn't know what to do in the second task and.. and would be..be disqualified." She cried more fake tears. "I just wanted to keep Harry safe...I couldn't stand for anything to happen to him." Snape rolled his eyes.
"Alright, Weasley, stop crying." Snape said. "You are in some trouble, come with me, your head of house needs to learn of this. Stealing from other students, and walking the halls at night, tying to interfere in the turnament." He turned Filch. "Give me the egg, I'll need it as proof incase Ms. Wesaley decides to change her story in front of Flitwick."
Harry opened his mouth to say something, but Sirius shook his head, while giving him a stern look. Like he knew Harry was about to tell on himself. Filch handed Snape the egg and stumped off mumbling things. And Ginny stood and pretended to wipe away fake tears, and when she walked past Sirius, Harry saw her slip him the Marauder's map, before glancing up the stairs and winking at Harry, then followed Snape toward Flitwick's office. When they had got out of sight, Sirius made his way up to Harry and he took the cloak off.
"You're just going to let Snape led Ginny off like that?" He demanded. Sirius rolled his eyes.
"He's taken her to Flitwick," Sirius said. "He'll step in and punish her, probably just give her a detention or two." He smacked Harry on the head with the map before tossing it in his hands. "What the hell are you doing roaming the castle at this hour and with Ginny, after Skeeters's story in the paper, do you know how that will look?"
"Ginny and I were figuring out the egg." Harry said. "We only dropped it because she tripped and nearly fall, I had to catch her and it fall out of my hands." He looked down at the map. "This thing is what made her trip, we saw a name on it. Bartmus Crouch, he was the one in Snape's office."
"Crouch?" Sirius asked. "What the heck was he doing here so late?"
"I don't know." Harry said. "Ginny's brother Percy was filling in for him at the ball, because he was too sick to come, it's kind of funny, he's too sick to come to the ball, but he can come up to the castle this late at night to look through Snape's office."
Sirius frowned. "Harry, don't worry too much about. Just put that cloak back on and get back up to your common room, I'll go talk to Tonks and Jesse see if they have heard anything about Crouch being back at work; last I heard he was still sick." Harry nodded and got under the cloak and went back up the stairs and to his common room.
It was a half hour later before Ginny finally showed up, Harry jumped up and ran to her, and hugged her tightly.
"Why did you do that." He asked. Ginny laughed at how relived his voice sounded.
"Because if you had gotten caught Snape would have given you all kinds of stupid pointless detention and along with school work he would have left you no time to figure out the underwater thing. Now it's me with the week-long detention." Ginny said. They pulled apart.
"Thanks, Gin." Harry said. "I owe you one." She nodded.
"Yes you do." Ginny said. They kissed and Ginny handed him back his egg, before heading up to bed. Harry going right after. But was unable to get to sleep, after all this time he's scar begin to hurt again. As if Voldemort was mad about something.
A.N. There is another chapter hope it was good, I know Moody should have been in this part, and that I haven't had much of him, truth is, he's kinda hard to write, so I have him staying low and planting in everybody else's head on how to help Harry, and as you can guess the second task is coming up next chapter, after that I'll try to show Harry with his brothers more, sorry it took a while to get this chapter up, I had writers block, I'm working on three different stories and I had gotten writers block with all three.
