Hello, again, my lovely readers!

Now, it's time for task three of the great, Triwizard Tournament! I have been wanting to get this task out, since DefyingGravityElphaba gave me the idea for it. So, this chapter is to that author.

Go ahead and read their stories! They're very good.

(Sorry if I got some things wrong in the last chapter, but the author corrected me.)

So, this chapter is told by Harry- with one part from Edward- since I haven't done his POV for a long time. Mainly, I was focusing on Bella and Edward. But, there is going to be a very small part for Edward and Bella.

Oh, I so cannot wait to type up the ball scene after this chapter! I already have most of it planned, so I can't wait to type it up.

On with the chapter!

Chapter 15

Harry's POV

We walked back to Black Lake- Edward, Oliver, Marie, Lily, Diane and I- as the rest of the school followed. The week for resting was up and now it was time for task three. I looked around me and didn't see Ginny anywhere. I asked Edward if he has seen her.

"No, the last time I saw her was before she had to leave for something during breakfast. Come to think of it, I haven't seen Bella either. She went missing again." Edward told me, trying to look for her. I sighed and we all piled into the boats again like last week. When we reached the stands that were in the lake, everyone went quiet when Professor Dumbledore shouted, "ATTENTION!", his voice amplified.

"Thank you. Now, since Mister Cullen came in first place, he'll be getting a head start in this challenge. Task three is sort of like what happened last week." Professor Dumbeldore paused before speaking. "But, instead of looking for your friend in the waters of the lake, you must try and find your friend anywhere on the school property. We have placed them all over the school grounds, making it more fun for the champions. And, since it's more spread out, you'll have three hours to find your friend. Whoever will come in first place will receive points for their house." He paused again to speak with the headmasters of the schools. "Excluding Mister Masstidoff and Miss Deufloura. Now, on my mark… Get set… GO!" Professor Dumbledore shouted and Edward dove into the water. We waited awhile, until we dove into the water after him.

I swam around, my competition clothes slowing me down. But, soon after, I reached dry land and surfaced, before shouting, "Accio Firebolt!" and it came zooming to me. I jumped on it and flew high in the sky. Then, I began searching for Ginny. I flew towards the forest, shouting her name over and over.

"Ginny! Where are you, Ginny?!" I shouted, flying above the tree tops of the forest. I tilted my broom downwards and I flew through the Forbidden Forest. "Ginny!" I shouted again, but I didn't get an answer. "GINNY!" I yelled even louder.

"Harry!" I heard her scream. I snapped my head downward and saw nothing. I called out her name again, and she called back. I followed the sound of her voice.

But as I drew nearer towards her voice, the air grew cold. "Dementors…" I spat, looking around me. None were to my right or left, but when I looked behind me, I saw something coming towards me. I pulled out my wand and thought of a happy time I had with my friends, it fueling me. I shouted, "Expecto Patronum!" at it. It flew backwards, but only kept coming towards me. So, I tried the next spell I could think of, which was, "Riddikulus!" and the creature disappeared.

I sighed and continued following the sound of Ginny's voice. Finally, I found her tied to an ancient tree. Her legs were bound to the trunk while her arms were bound above her head. I smiled at her and undid the ropes, where she collapsed in my arms. "Thanks, Harry." She told me, smiling. "You're welcome, Ginny." I smiled down at her and we jumped on the broom. I flew it while she was behind me, her arms wrapped around my waist.

We flew back to the Quiddittch field and waited for the others to return.

Edward's POV

I looked around me, trying to find my Bella. I continued my way up the mountain I was climbing, since her scent led me here. Since I got a head start for winning the second task, I looked everywhere that I could. She wasn't anywhere outside the school grounds, nor was she inside. Even though Dumbledore said our friends are anywhere on school property, how come Bella's scent led me to a mountain?

I finally came to a ledge that was on the mountain and looked around me, again. A cave was in the mountain and Bella's scent led me in there. I stepped into the cave and pulled out my wand, whispering, "Lumos," to light my way inside. The wand was instantly lit and the cave was empty, or so I thought.

In the back of the cave, was my Bella, chained to the rock wall behind her. "Edward!" Bella yelled to me, smiling. I smiled and ran over to her. I broke the chains and she threw her arms around me. She kissed me, making me drop my wand. "Bella…" I warned her. I picked up my wand and said the lighting spell again. "We have plenty of time to be alone, but now isn't one of them." I told her, kissing her nose. She pouted, then she looked at the wall and screamed. "AHH!" she cowered away from the wall. I looked at her confused and look at the back wall.

Hanging from the cave ceiling was a giant Acromantula. It was watching us hungrily. I glared at it, then turned on my heels and grabbed Bella's hand, jerking her to her feet, and we raced out of the cave. I called my broom and we jumped on it, with me in front of Bella. She wrapped her arms around me and buried her face in my back.

We reached the Quidditch field to see that only Harry and Ginny were here. They waited for the other wizards and witches to arrive.

"Now, Mister Potter has won task three-" cheers from Gryffindor interrupted him. "And Mister Cullen came in second, then Miss Moonpetal, Mister Masstidoff, Miss Deufloura and finally Miss Malgrey. The next task will be in another week, considering that the champions are probably in need of rest." Dumbledore dismissed us then.

"Nice work, Harry!" Ron high-fived Harry once we found our friends. Harry smiled and returned the gesture.

The next day, everyone was sitting in a class room, waiting for this news that Professor McGonagall needed to tell us. She entered the classroom, with Mr. Filch behind her, carrying in an old record player. He set it down, and waited for her to speak.

"The Annual Yule Ball will be held here at Hogwarts. Each year, the champions get to have the first dance with the person they invite. I know some of you students don't like to slow dance at all-" she waited for the groans the escaped the students to stop. "But, it's a tradition to Hogwarts. I know some of you can slow dance, so why don't we have Bella and Edward show us how it's done?" Bella shifted uncomfortably in her seat, while I squeezed her hand. Even now when she's a vampire, she doesn't like to dance in front of people.

I pulled her up and we walked over near where Professor Dumbledore was. I put my hand on her waist and took her other hand in mine. She placed her tiny hand on my shoulder. "Just think it's only us, and think about your lullaby." I told her in vampire speed, smiling down at her. She smiled back at me and the music started.

Bella and I moved along the soft classical music, while we stared in each other's eyes lovingly. Professor McGonagall was telling us the instructions to the dance, but we weren't even paying attention to her. She let her shield down and showed me all of the times I played her lullaby, up until the day where I was picked to do the Tournament. I smiled and bent my head down and kissed her cheek softly. I heard the girls "aww" at us, but again, we paid no attention to it.

Soon, most of the class that was brave enough to actually get up and dance was twirling their partner, or trying not to step on their feet. But, Bella and I stayed wrapped up in our own bubble. When class was done, I told Bella could go follow the others while I wanted to talk to Professor McGonagall. I asked her if I could play Bella's song near the end of the ball. She said I could and I asked her if she could set up a piano also. Again she agreed and I ran off to catch up to Bella and the others after thanking her.

****************************************************************************************************************************************************

The next day was the day of the ball- which was held on Christmas day. Some students had to tell their families they wouldn't be able to see them this year for Christmas, which caused some of the students to feel guilty and sad that they wouldn't be able to see their families this year.

But, most of the girls of the school were giddy for tonight. Most of the girls came up to me and asked if they wanted me to take them, but I told them I was already taking my wife. They all understood… except Lauren.

When she asked if she wanted me to take her to the ball, and when I told her I was taking Bella, she kept trying to convince me to take her instead. By that time, I was becoming very angry with her and was about to yell at her for getting me extremely annoyed, but Bella came to my rescue. She glared at Lauren and told her to back off. But, Lauren being the annoying and stupid girl, she rolled her eyes and walked off, after giving me a wink. I shuddered and told Bella I was going to give her something for rescuing me. She shivered in pleasure, knowing what it was. But, she didn't know she would get something before that.

And hopefully, what I had planned tonight won't get Bella mad at me.

Bella's POV

"Alice, do we have to get ready three hours before the ball?!" I complained to her as she dragged me out of the Gryffindor tower. I said goodbye to Edward as she pulled me up from my seat next to him, and began complaining when she steered me out. She wanted to get me, Rosalie, Hermione, Ginny, Angela, Des, Rische, Melantha, Lily, Luna and herself all ready before the ball.

"Of course, Bella! Now, quit whining! We need to rally up the others, and they're all over the school." Alice scolded me and I kept quiet. We found Rosalie, Lily and Melantha on the way and they followed after us. We walked into one of the courtyards and found Des and Rische. Rische came willingly, but we had to chase down Des. After we caught her, Lily and Melantha decided to drag her with us, while she complained. Then, we found Hermione in the library, Ginny walking around and Angela hanging with some other Gryffindor girls. Then, we found Luna talking to Neville and we took her with us

Alice took us to the R.O.R, where it looked like a beauty salon. A chair, with Alice's make-up supplies near it, were off to one side, accessories off to another, the dresses in the middle of the room- changing rooms to the back- and shoes were by it.

"I already saw what dresses you were all going to wear, so I picked them out. Along with shoes. I'll be doing your hair." Alice instructed us all. She took Angela first and started on her hair. I took Hermione, while grabbing a brush and begin brushing her down. Once I was done, Alice switched Hermione for Angela. Angela hair was straight, so I decided to curl it. Alice was already making Hermione now straight hair curly and wavy.

Melantha helped Hermione and Angela do their make-up, while Alice worked on Ginny and I worked on Luna. I braided her hair, while Alice made Ginny's hair wavy. When we were done with them, they went over to make-up while I worked on Rische and Alice on Des. Des fussed while Alice worked on her, but she was able to do her hair. Rische didn't complain as I did her hair- curling it. After she was done, she called Rosalie over and I called Lily over. Alice began curling and making her hair wavy while I curled and pinned Lily's curls up. Alice did the same for Rosalie.

Then, we did Melantha's hair. We curled it and pinned it up. After she was done, Alice worked on me, and when I was done, I did the same for her.

Two hours and fifty minutes later…

Finally, we were all wearing our dresses, shoes, accessories, make-up and our hair was done.

Hermione's hair was curled in curls, but pinned up on her head. She wore a small tiara head piece with a modern pink and black dress, stopping at her knees. She also had on black high heels. Her make-up was smoky gray eye shadow, light pink lip gloss.

Ginny's hair was wavy, with a small tiara on her head as well. Her dress was similar like Hermione's dress, but it was all pink instead of pink and black. Her make-up was bright pink eye shadow with sparkles, and pink lip gloss. Her shoes were pink small heeled.

Angela's was curled and pinned up- but the curls were let out, with a tiara. Her dress was a lime green sleeveless dress that came out in ruffles from the thigh down. Her make-up was dark blue eye shadow with light pink lipstick. Her shoes were green medium high heeled.

Rische's hair was wavy as well, with a small tiara with leaves. Her dress was bright sky blue, coming out in ruffles from waist down. Her make-up was bright blue eye shadow with red lipstick. Her shoes were blue high heeled.

Des' hair was wavy- since it was short-, with a tiara on. She wore a black waterfall dress. Her make-up was black eye shadow, with light lip gloss. Her shoes were black high heeled.

Lily's hair was curled and pinned up, with a small tiara on. Her dress was a black dress with white underneath it. Her make-up was smoky grey eye shadow, with red lipstick. Her shoes were black and high heeled.

Melantha's hair was curled and up as well, with a tiara on. Her dress was a deep red, with sequins on top and a rose design around the waist. Her make-up was deep red eye shadow with matching lipstick. Her shoes were high heeled and deep red.

Rosalie's dress was a deep scarlet red, with a low cut neck line. Her hair was pinned up, with a small tiara on top. Her make-up was bright red eye shadow and deep red lipstick. Her shoes were red and high heeled.

Luna's hair was in a long braid, with a tiara on top. Her dress was a long, black dress that had no sleeves or straps. Her make-up was dark eye shadow with light lip gloss. Her shoes were black and high heeled.

Alice's hair was straight, with a tiara on top. Her dress was pink with a tie around the top and sequins from top to near the bottom. Her make-up was sparkle eye shadow with pink lipstick. Her shoes were pink and high heeled.

My hair was curled and pinned up, with a tiara on top. My dress looked ridiculous to me- black with a weird white piece down the middle. My make-up was dark blue eye shadow with sparkles and red lipstick. My shoes were a navy blue and high heeled.

"Oh, the boys will be very happy when they see us like this!" Alice squealed as we walked down the halls towards the Great Hall. When we got there, the boys were waiting outside, all wearing black suits and ties. Edward's jaw dropped when he saw me. I giggled and walked over to him. Ginny walked over to Harry and Hermione walked over to Ron. Alice walked over to Jasper, Rosalie walked over to Emmett. Seth walked over to Des and started talking to her. Lily walked over to Aiden, Melantha and Rische just walked inside the Great Hall. Luna walked over to Neville.

"You look… well, words can't describe how beautiful you look." Edward told me, gazing up and down. I smiled and pecked his cheek. He wrapped his arm around my waist. Lauren and Jessica strutted past us, both wearing hot pink dresses and matching high heels. Lauren winked at Edward, but when she turned around, Edward made gagging motions.

Every other student filed into the Great Hall, where the Ball was being held, while Harry and Ginny, Lily and Aiden, Diane and her date, Marie and her date, Oliver and his date, and Edward and I stood outside the doors. Then, we were announced to come inside.

Short chapter, I know. But, I'm trying to get these chapters out quick.

Plus, my friend- yet again- was rushing me. So, sorry if the chapter seems a bit rushed.

But, I did get task three done, and the beginning of the Ball scene.

All of the girls dresses/hair/accessories/shoes- including Lauren's and Jessica's- are on my profile now. So, if think the descriptions of the prom outfits weren't enough, then go ahead on my profile, scroll down to the picture links for the story and scroll down a bit more until you get to the heading, "Yule Ball Dresses/Hair/Accessories/Shoes"!

I went in order from the person done first to last.

Please review and wait for the next chapter!

Bye for now!
