Day of Second Task

The next morning, I was awoken by Fleur. "Come on, it is time."

I jumped out of bed, changed into my bathing suit, grabbed my wand and dagger. "Let's go." I headed out to the the lake where boats were taking us to the platforms. I climbed up, saw Luna beside Harry. "Harry?"

"Hermione is down there." He whispered. "As is George, Cho and we believe Fred."

I nodded, "Our dates from the Ball." I got into place, waiting until Dumbledore spoke his words. At the same time, Harry and I ate the Gillyweed. We jumped in as our gills grew, we headed off in the same direction. We were the first to reach them, they stayed there in the water. I pointed at Hermione and told Harry to go. He cut her loose and dragged her to the open water, Cedic came next for Cho then finally Viktor. He grabbed George, I grabbed Fred and we broke surface together. We all same to the platforms, once we got within reach, the twins were pulled out as something wrapped itself around my leg and pulled me under.

I turned to find several Merpeople. I grabbed my wand and dagger, cutting myself lose. They charged at me, I pointed my wand at them shooting off blasting charms before I was able to reach the top of the water again. I was pulled out by my shoulders, gasping for air.

"Luci? Are you okay?" Viktor asked me.

I looked up at him, "I think so. Thanks."

He smirked, "That what I am here for." I chuckled as I was helpped to my feet, not leaning on my left ankle. I could feel the pain radeating from it. The judges totalled us up. Harry was first, Cedric was second, Viktor was thrid and I was fourth. Viktor tried to agrue that we both finished at the same time but I didn't care. I had made it to the thrid task, now was the time to play the hardest.

We walked back to the boats that took us back to the Castle grounds, once we started heading back to the castle, Fred found me. "Thanks for coming for me."

I laughed, "Your welcome, how do you feel?"

"Wet." Fred chuckled, I laughed as I shook my head. "It was just like I was sleeping, it was wierd."

I nodded, "Did you know that you would be taken?"

"Yes, McGonagall came to us last night." Fred nodded as Katie walked over to us and hugged him.

"I'm glad your safe, Fred." She whispered, Fred smirked at me, I giggled as I walked away.

"Miss Malfoy," Someone called out, I turned and saw Moody. He limped up to me with his Magic eye. "You aren't from this world, are you?"

"I have no idea what you are talking about, Professor." I tilted my head to look at him, "Are you feeling okay?"

He growled softly but right then Harry and Barty Crouch came into view, he glared at me, "I'm watching you." He turned and walked off. I sighed as I turned back to see Dumbledore watching me, I smiled at him as I walked right past him. I made my way to my room to change clothes, I walked back to the castle, into the main hall and found Harry and Hermione eating. I sat beside them.

"How are you Hermione?" I asked.

She smiled, "Wonderful, how are you?"

"Hungry." I smirked as I grabbed some food to eat, Harry laughed at me as he went back to talking to Hermione. Soon Fred, George, Viktor, Neville and Luna joined us. We hung out for the rest of the day, wondering what was to come next and practice new spells, thanks to Viktor and Hermione.
