It was the day of the second task. Part of the students was excited that this event caused teachers to cancel classes (mostly the Slytherins), and the others was nervous someone would get hurt.

Students from every house in Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang ran down to the incredibly large and dark Black Lake to the stands above the Lake to watch.

Harry, however, was running late and had taken the Gillyweed from Dobby. As soon as he got to the stands, they were about to start. Harry had made it just in time.

When it began, Harry had swallowed the Gillyweed and was cautiously swimming through the deeper areas of the Lake. He was attacked once by this merperson, too.

Finally, he made it to a clearing. Under was some kind of town, but above was chained humans he could not recognize at first because they did not have faces.

You were an extra. The Headmasters (and Headmistresses) agreed to put you in the Lake too, for if anyone cared. If they got you above the water, they would get extra points—however, Cedric, Krum, and Fleur just wanted to get they’re person above the Lake, and did not really care about you.

Harry did not know you were extra points, because he missed the announcements, but he did not really care. He knew if no one came to help you, you would drown.

After a bit of trial and error he got you and Ron out. Ron began to float to the surface while you stayed in Harry’s arms. He stared you for a moment before blushing and bringing you to the surface.

You woke up in a bed in some kind of unfamiliar dormitory—a Gryffindor one. You looked around and saw Harry Potter, The Chosen One himself staring at you. “Oh! You’re awake!—Mm, hi, I’m Harry. I saved you, in the second task?” A bit of awkward silence and tension floated between the both of you. He cleared his throat. “You’re probably wondering why your here, and, well, no one helped you, you were just laying on the wood, and I wanted you to rest, so, yeah,” Harry smiled nervously, rubbing the back of his neck.
