Since the night of the Yule Ball, Cass tried her best not to get on Minnies bad side. She was even attending the majority of her classes.
Remus, at first was disappointed with Cassie's antics that night but soon turned proud. It was a true skill to drink that much alcohol to get into a state like that.
Sirius was furious with everyone.
Dumbledore, Minerva, Remus, Harry, Cassie and well everyone and anyone.

Although he knew he did similar things in his youth, seeing his daughter do them too made his blood boil.

Once Remus had left the hospital wing, he had to drag Padfoot away from Hogwarts grounds as the black dog looked as if he was going to rip somebodies head off.
The argument they got into after that was very heated.
There was shouting, mainly on Sirius' behalf aswell as denial, all on Sirius' behalf aswell.
He felt helpless and envious that Remus was the one to be with his daughter then. He should've been the one taking care of her after a night of mass drinking, though he thoroughly disapproved of what she had done.

Sirius screamed and shouted whilst Remus sat quiet and listened.

Finally, the shouting had stopped, but he was in no better mindset. Sirius began to not believe anything he had seen or been told. He choose to ignore the fact his daughter was drinking at 15, as to him she was still the sweet baby girl he left unwillingly all them years ago.

No matter how many times Remus tried to reason with him, to help him see the reality of everything, the reality of them all keeping this massive secret from her, he still choose to believe and think that everything was okay.

The second task was approaching much to quickly for Cassie's liking. Not only did she have Cedric to worry about, but Harry aswell.
Cedric and her had figured the clue out, surprisingly they didn't get too distracted.

Harry on the other hand was still struggling with the screaming egg, his feelings for Cassie and the guilt he had carrying Sirius' secret was eating away at him.

With both Cedric and Harry entered into the competition, Cass found it hard.
Understandably, she wanted both of them to be safe and to win, but that could never
be possible as there was only one trophy.

She wanted to help them both succeed, but she knew that she wasn't allowed to.
Luckily, Cass never followed the rules.
As Harry had told Cedric about the dragons in the first task, she felt it was only right that Cedric helped Harry with the egg. Cassie had convinced Cedric too lead Harry into the right direction of solving his egg issue.

Cedric approached Harry and Hermione one afternoon in hope to give Harry a cryptic clue.
Cedric had told Harry that the Prefects bathroom was a great place to take a swim, and to bring his egg along with him too.

Harry would be lying if he said he didn't find that disturbing at all.

The task was days away, and the egg was still throwing a screaming fit everytime someone opened it so Harry had no other choice but too listen to Cedrics words about the prefects bathroom.

He thought he'd be alone, just him and his egg, but he was wrong.

Moaning Myrtle had too be there with him.

If getting a bath with an egg wasn't weird enough, he now had to get a bath with and egg and a ghost.

As he opened the egg and the screaming started, Myrtle made her presence known.

"I'd try putting it into the water if I were you." the ghost told him.

"Myrtle!" Harry exclaimed in surprise.

"Long time no see." she laughed.

"I was circling a blocked drain the other
day and could swear I saw a bit of polyjuice potion. Not being a bad boy again are you Harry?" she asked.

Usually, polyjuice was Hermiones or Cassie's suggestions, Harry just got dragged along in them.

"Polyjuice potion! Kicked the habit.
Myrtle, did you say try putting it in
the water?"

"Well. That's what he did. The other
boy, the handsome one. Cedric. He was with your friend you see." she told him.

"Cassie? Was with him? In here? They were together?"

"Well that's what I saw. They looked all hot and bothered." Myrtle teased.

Harry grew annoyed. Frustrated. Jealous?
As much as Myrtles words dawned upon him, he still had the egg to take care of.
He lowered it slowly into the water.
Nothing.

"Well go on, open it." Myrtle said.

Harry opened it reluctantly, then pushed himself underneath the surface of the water.

Voices began to sing from the egg:

Come seek us where our voices sound.
We cannot sing above the ground. An
hour long you'll have to look, to recover
what we took.

"Myrtle, there aren't Merpeople in the Black Lake are they?" he said, dreading her answer as he already subconsciously knew.

"Ahhh, very good. Took Cedric ages to
riddle it out. Almost all the bubbles
were gone...but I suppose Cassie was a distraction for him."

With that, Harry quickly scrambled out of the bath and dried himself off so he could tell the rest of the Quartet about what he found, even though Cassie knew the answer to the egg and never told him.

"Harry tell me again." Hermione said referring to the singing eggs song.

"Come seek us where our voices sound."

"The Black Lake, that's obvious." Hermione said.

"An hour long you'll have to look."

"Again obvious, though I must admit potentially problematic."

"Potentially problematic? When was the
last time you held your breath under
the water for an hour Hermione?" Harry snapped.

"Cant be that hard." Cassie shrugged.

"Did you practice that with Cedric in the Prefects bath?" Harry seethed.

"No need to get your knickers in a twist, we were a little busy so we couldn't practice our scuba diving skills." Cass smirked.

"Look Harry, we can do this. The four
of us can figure it out." Hermione said, changing the subject.

"You were in the Prefects bath with Cedric?" Ron asked.

"Did you want an invitation Ronniekins?"

"No." he shuddered.

"Hate to break up this scholar session
but Professor McGonagall would like
to see you in her office." Mad-eye Moody said as he appeared. "Not you Potter,
just Weasly, Granger and Black."
