The halls of Hogwarts were once again filled with laughter as students from all houses rushed to their next class. It was the second semester bringing stress to all the students because of the upcoming tests. The three champions were once again training for their upcoming task in the lake. James started distancing himself from Ivy afraid that she'd be the person he had to rescue, he'd never forgive himself if she hurt herself or had a panic attack due to the water. Ivy began taking notice to the fact that James didn't bother her much, but instead of celebrating her heart began to sink. It hurt to admit it, but she missed fighting with James over the simplest things. She also began to worry if he had lost the feelings he said he had.
"What's with the frown?" Harlow questioned noticing Ivy's face. Ivy usually wore a smile with the group, but the past few weeks had been different. Everyone noticed the change of attitude.
Ivy lifted her head being pulled out of her thoughts. "Nothing, upcoming test have my head spinning." Ivy lied. She hadn't told anyone about her encounter with James and preferred to keep it that way. Everyone was doing just fine Harlow was happy with Daisy and Scorpius and Albus seemed to be enjoying their lives to the fullest, Ivy didn't want to be the one who brought everyone down.
"Ivy you're easily the smartest student in our year, you have nothing to worry about." Daisy said sending her a warm smile.
"Did my brother do something?" Albus asked causing Ivy to tense up. "I could go knock some sense into him if you'd like. I'm sure my mum wouldn't mind if she knew the reason I put James in the hospital wing, in fact I'd think she'd encourage it, better yet do it herself."
Ivy let out a small chuckle of Albus' joke, although she wouldn't be surprised if Ginny did do it. "Albus it has nothing to do with James, ever since the tournament began I've struggled keeping my grades high, that's all." Ivy said lying once again. She hated the feeling of lying to her bestfriends, but she felt as if it were for the best.
"Thankfully the second task is tomorrow." Scorpius said with a scoff. "If I'm handed another badge with James' face plastered on it I might drown myself in the lake. Twenty have been slipped into my bookbag today, twenty!" Scorpius exclaimed pulling out the collection of badges covered by James.
The expression on Scorpius' face caused the group to let out a roar of laughter, the frown that laid on Ivy's face faded as Albus choked on his drink because of laughter. Ivy hoped she could get through the rest of the day, and the practice she had with James.

James swam back to shore not noticing Ivy waiting for him. He went to the lake an hour earlier than usual hoping to avoid her, but he had forgotten she always came earlier than what they had planned. He stepped out of the water taken back by Ivy's figure, he almost fell back into the water. Ivy wore a frustrated face as she neared James, at first she hoped the reason they hadn't talk much was because he was busy, but she was certain now he was just avoiding her at all cost.
