A/N Okay, sorry it's late, but I didn't get to work on this chapter while I was gone, I don't have this fic saved on the laptop, so I sent what I had of it to myself but I didn't have internet connection. For more reasons check out chapter two of my fic Knowing. But I did get sunburned, and now I have a farmers tan on my left arm where my sunburn was. And I read the first three chapters in OotP.
On with the story!

After a quick stop in the loo, Seven was digging in her trunk for her bikini top, having already found the bottoms.
"Finally!" She said as she pulled out an aqua coloured string bikini top.
She quickly changed in to her swimming costume. After pulling on a pair of short shorts and a white spaghetti strap tank top, Seven grabbed a large beach towel, slipped on a pair of black flip flops and ran out of Gryffindor tower.
When she entered the Entrance Hall she saw Cho already waiting for her.
"What took you so long?" Cho asked when she saw her.
"I couldn't find my top. Sue me." Seven replied.
"Well, let's go." Cho said, throwing her arm around Seven's shoulders and leading her out onto the grounds.
When they reached the lake, the girls lay their towels out on the ground close to the shore.
"Last one in's a rotten egg." Seven called over her shoulder at Cho, who was tangled in her tee shirt.
"No fair, you had a head start!" Cho complained when she came back above water after diving in.
"Hey, you snooze, you lose." Was the reply she received.
Cho scoffed, turning her nose in the air, before splashing Seven in face.
"You did not just do that." Seven said as she wiped the water off her face.
"Oh, I think I did." Cho said tauntingly before splashing Seven again.
"Now, you're gonna get it!" Seven yelled, thrusting her hands forward, pushing as much water as she could toward Cho, thus starting a water war between the two.
This continued until the bell rang, signaling the end of their break.
They ran out of the water, dried off and pulled on their clothes.
"We really need to do that more often." Seven said as they walked back to the castle.
"Yeah," Cho agreed. "What are you doing tomorrow?"
"Preparing for the first task on Sunday(1)." Seven told her.
"Oh yeah, I forgot about it."
"Lucky you." Seven muttered.
"You're going to do great, I know it." Cho said while wrapping an arm around Seven's waist.
"That makes one of us." Seven said just laud enough for Cho to hear.
"Look," Cho said, grabbing Seven's arm to stop her from walking up the steps to the second floor. "If you believe you can do it, you will. I've the utmost faith in you; you'll make it out of this Tournament just fine."
"Promise?" Seven asked, looking Cho in the eye.
Cho smiled and gave Seven a chaste kiss on the lips before replying.
"Promise."

Seven was sitting in the Gryffindor common room staring at a piece of parchment disdainfully, before switching it with another, easier, assignment.
Explain three uses of making a flock of pigeons appear out of nowhere.
Okay, that wasn't what Professor Flitwik had said, but that was the jest of it.
'Well, it would be a good distraction against you appoint when dueling' Seven thought before writing it down.
Twenty minutes later, Seven had added They could make a lovely addition to a wedding ceremony if you called them doves and It would give your cat some entertainment.
Seven had just turned back to her two foot long essay on how some Potion ingredient would react to another when added at the same time to a simmering cauldron.
'How can you put 'It will go boom' in a two foot essay?' Seven thought, as she groaned.
"Hey Seven," She heard someone say as they sat down next to her on the sofa.
"Hello Parvati," Seven said as she wrote 'It will go 'boom'' once more on a piece of parchment.
"I saw you today, at the bottom of the grand staircase with Cho Chang." Parvati stated.
"And…?" Seven said, writing the sentence down again.
"Why didn't you ever tell us you were a…a…" Parvati stuttered.
"A what?" Seven said, finally looking up from her essay that was sure to cause her to flunk out of Potions.
Parvati lowered her voice. "A lesbian."
Seven beckoned her roommate closer, looking around them and lowering her voice also.
"Because I'm not."
"But I saw-" Parvati started but Seven cut her off.
"I'm Bisexual. Now, do you think Snape will pass this?" Seven asked, showing her two foot long essay covered in 'It will go 'boom''.
"How can you say it like that, like it doesn't matter?" Parvati asked. "And no, I don't think he will."
"Because it isn't a big deal." Seven replied.
"I guess you're right," Parvati sighed. "Look, you better get to bed soon, it's getting late."
"Okay, I will." Seven said as she managed to fit 'therefore, it will explode' to the end of her essay.
"Goodnight," Parvati yawned before heading up the stairs to the girls dorms.
"Night," Seven called after her.
She packed up her work, deciding to hand in her Potions essay, maybe, if she was lucky, she would never have to take Potions again.

A/N I'm so sorry it took so long to update, I got really busy. Now, I have good news and bad news, the bad news is I'm going camping this weekend so I wont be able to update. The good news is I'm getting my braces off on Thursday!
(1)I am aware that the first task is on a Tuesday in the book, but it being on a Sunday works better with the story.
Thanks to everyone who reviewed. I would answer them, but I don't have time right now. I will next chapter though.
