18. The Second Task

It has been a week since all three of the schools returned to Hogwarts from the holidays. The Weasley family, Kester and I decided we should keep the Gryffindor discovery a secret until we could prove it and take the name back.

All four of the contestants were preparing for the second task which was happening in three days' time. Right now, lessons had to go on as normal and I was currently in Astronomy and I had Fred next to me and we were currently not listening as we were too busy annoying each other. "I swear to Merlin, Fred, poke me one more time and I will-" I whispered but was cut off,

"Will what?" Fred whispered back with a smirk as he was leaning against the wall while sitting in his chair to look at me.

I quickly glanced at the teacher who was droning on about star signs and quickly looked at Fred to quietly reply, "I won't let you touch me. Anywhere. Ever again." I tried not to laugh as I had one last quick look at Fred, whose eyes grew huge like saucers. I turned my head to the teacher as, looking as though I had been listening for ages until I felt Fred poke me again, "Don't you understand threats?" I asked him while taking down notes on star signs.

"You don't mean it do ya?"

I paused in my writing and looked at Fred, who was in the same position, "No. I'm to kind of a girlfriend like that." Fred chuckled and sat properly in his chair, placing his hand on my knee as he started taking down notes also.

The rest of the lesson passed quickly, but we were given homework on trying to find a star sign and then right a three page essay on it. It was due in two weeks' time as there was only one astronomy tower to star gaze and everyone had to work in pairs, making there be ten pairs to find a star sign so Fred and I decided to star gaze on the night of the second task. Lunch soon came around and I skipped into the lunch hall, plopping down on my seat and smiled at George who was opposite me. "'Ello Scy." He said as he reached for a sandwich.

"'Ello Georgie." I looked at him and put down my fork. "Can I ask you a question?"

He stopped mid-chew and quickly swallowed, "You just did." He replied with a smirk. I sent him a glare and he held his hands up, looking as though he was surrendering. "Ok, ok shoot."

"Do you feel like the third wheel because of Fred and I?"

This made him stop eating and he gave me a look. "I would like to say, 'Yeah, I hate it. I just want both of you to split up so I can have my twin all to myself again.' But in all honesty, I'm loving having you around, making us like...the three musketeers. Sure you two have your little moments, but you make him happy. So, if he's happy, then I'm happy just to have you around, you're like another sister." I smiled and he nodded, ending the convocation as Fred joined us, happy that we three had a free period and could all be together.

School days passed without a bother in the world and today was the second task. Everyone was making their way to the Black Lake and where gathering round on the edge on the lake and some people who were friends of the contestants on the platforms that were in the middle of the lake. I was on the platform with Harry and Neville as Harry was getting ready for when it was time. I looked round but couldn't see Ron nor Hermione for that matter. Ginny came up to me and said, "I couldn't find them anywhere. Not in the school and their not making their way here."

I sighed as I quickly looked round one more time quickly to reply, "Well, their loss if their missing out." Ginny nodded and I smiled at Seamus as he stood next to Neville. Fred and George soon came onto the platform a couple of minutes later, their betting boxes firmly around their necks.

"Bets ladies?" George asked.

I shook my head as did Ginny, "Sorry, haven't got any money on me." George gave a dramatic, deep sigh but smiled, showing that he wasn't being serious. Fred slipped his hand in mine and we watch as a whistle loudly rings out over the lake and Cedric, Fleur and Krum all leap into the waters. Harry looked as though he was choking but Moody pushed him in, falling not so gracefully into the waters.

It was silent and Neville looked out over the water, "Oh no. I think I killed Harry Potter!" He exclaimed, quickly standing up and whipping around, his back facing the water. "I killed Harry Potter!" He shouted but a moment later Harry jumped up high from the water, doing a stunt before dipping quickly into the water again. We all cheered and couldn't help but chuckle as Neville looked out on the water again, confused as to what he missed. Minutes slowly passed by without a disturbance on the top of the water.

I sighed as I was leaning against both of the Twins as they were leaning against the rails. A few more minutes passed until we looked up from the sound of gasping and splashing to see Fleur who was alone. "Wasn't she meant to save someone?" I asked confused and looked at the group as they nodded also confused.

A few minutes later Cedric dove head first out of the water, gasping for air along with the person that he saved who I saw was Krista. I cheered and clapped as the two climbed out of the water, smiling and being congratulated. Krum came next after a few seconds, who had saved Hermione. I realised then that was why Hermione and Ron I guessed where told to be a part of the saving. They climbed onto the platform and then it went quiet again. I looked out of the water, standing on the edge of the platform as I whispered to myself, "C'mon, Harry, stop being a fool and get out." As the words left my mouth, Harry's head pop out from the lake, along with a blonde child and Ron. I cheered as hard as I could as all three made it out of the water and onto the platform.

"Harry well done! As you were meant to have come fourth for being the last to leave the waters, you saved someone else you didn't have to save, for that, you have come second after Cedric Diggery!" Dumbledore announced and everyone erupted into a loud cheer for Harry. The crowd started making its way back to the school when Harry was stopped by Barty Crouch Sr to have a convocation. Fred, George and I carried on walking to the school and to the common room.

Later that night, Fred and I were on the astronomy tower, taking turns to find a star sign to write about. "I'm cold." I whined, regretting not bring my coat as I was only wearing a t-shirt and a light cardigan. Fred took his jacket off and flung it over my shoulders gently. "Thanks." I said gently. He gave me a smirk and cupped my cheek. He lightly placed his lips on mine and I felt the jacket slip off my shoulders as I wrapped my arms gently around his neck.

Things started to get heated as Fred deepened the kiss, picking me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist as he rested me against the wall. I pushed myself closer as I could, raking my fingers through his hair and tugging at the ends, making him groan into my mouth and I smiled. I grinded against his hips, "Scy the things you do to me." He whispered as he started to kiss my neck.

"I kinda know that." I replied chuckling from the bulge against my thigh. I felt Fred's lips go further down my neck and I tried hard to control my breathing. Fred slowly let his hands travel up from my hips, to my stomach, to my breast where he started to tease them. I moaned slightly as his teasing and kneading grew harder. "Fred." I groaned and his lips claimed mine again. We broke away quickly as we heard laughing and chatting.

We looked round but saw no one, to then look down the tower to see a group of people messing around and having fun. After helping me stand back on my own two feet, we stood a few steps away from the edge of the wall and looked at each other. "Well..." Fred whispered.

"Yeah." I put in as it grew silent. Fred awkwardly coughed but then spoke up,

"Look Scy, I don't want things to become suddenly awkward. I'm sorry about what happened I shouldn't have-" Fred cut off as I hugged him, stepping on my tip toes to kiss him on the cheek.

"It's not your fault Fred. I'm in the wrong just as you are, we both shouldn't have let it get that far but we can't help it. Merlin we're only teenagers. But it's not just your fault." Fred smiled and finally hugged me back, making me feel safe and happy finally. After a few moments we detached from each other and I went to the telescope. I looked through it and after a few moments I stood up, "Finally found one."

Fred walked over and looked through it, "Finally! What one is this?"

I skimmed through my notes and found the diagrams, I looked through them, then quickly through the periscope then replied, "Its Aries."

Fred smiled and we high fived each other, "Finally! Let's write this Bludger up and give it to our Professor." Fred exclaimed and we left the tower, happy that we actually had some work ready to ace.
