Safe House

Sixteen

"Come on, they're Harmless, they won't hurt you" I coaxed

"Easy for you to say, Weasley, unicorns like girls" Theo had said.

We were in Care of Magical Creatures, Hagrid had came back, much to the other Slytherins disappointment, and Hagrid had continued on with Unicorns, this time, bringing in Baby Unicorns for the class to play and handle with.

"Hagrid said that baby's dont mind boys that much, try and feed them sugar lumps- like this- see, easy right?" I said after showing them how to feed the Baby the four of us were sharing.

"She should of been a Hufflepuff, got creature lover written all over her" Draco scoffed to the other two, which they laughed at.

"Excuse me! I am nothing like a Hufflepuff, sorry for caring about anything other than myself, didn't know that was such a crime" I glared.

"That's what a Hufflepuff would say" Theo said.

"I'm not a bloody Hufflepuff- look- Slytherin- Green- oooooh, spooky" I said, tugging on the patchwork of the Slytherin crest on my robes.

"Alright, alright, try acting like a Slytherin then" Draco said.

"What exactly makes a Slytherin, except being a Slytherin?"

"Shut up and Pat the unicorn" He told me

"She got you there Drakey" Theo teased.

"That's odd" I said, looking over the Gryffindor table

"What?" Blaise asked

"Ron, Hermione and Harry aren't at their table"

"Weasley and Granger are probably helping Potter with the task today" Draco said, rolling his eyes "Even though it is against the rules to help the champions"

"Ron never misses Breakfast..."

"We should head off, If we want to get good seats" Theo said before standing up.

                                   •

"Where's Potter, so they can hurry up and start the bloody task?" Draco looked around the stands "Leave it up to him to hold everyone up"

"Wait, he's over there! But I still can't find Ron and Hermione" I pointed at Harry who was running down the hill.

"Probably finally realised their feelings for each other and catching up" Theo said "If you know what I mean" he wiggled his eyebrows.

"Ew, Theo, thats my brother, don't put that image in my head" I shook my head as if making it fall out .

"Well, all champions are ready for the second task, which will start on my whistle. They have precisely an hour to recover what has been taken from them. On the count of three, then. One ... two ... three!" Bagman announced before blowing his whistle. the three other champions dived into the water whilst Harry fiddled with something in his pocket before putting it in his mouth and jumping in the water, just standing there. Gillyweed?

"Oi Oi, Potter!"

"Gonna seduce your way into a win?"

"Lets go Potter!" some of the many things Draco and the other Slytherins shouted at Harry.

"Look!" I pointed at Harry over Draco's taunts. Harry had looked like he was gasping for air as he had his hands around his throat. But then he froze before flinging himself into the water.

"Well, then ... what now?" Theo had said after a breath of silence now that all the Champions were under water.

"They really didn't think this through, I want to know what's happening and what they're doing" I said.
