The Prisoner's daughter

Will you be mine?

The second task of the Triwizard Tournament came. Me, Ginny and Neville headed to the Common room. I thought of whether or not I should tell Neville about me and Jack. I don't know why, but it mattered to me that he knew.

We walked past Jack on our way to the common room. Jack smiled at me. "What happened with you two at the Yule Ball?" Neville asked. I looked at Ginny for help, but she nodded towards Neville.

I took a deep breath. In one breath, I said, "Me and Jack kissed".

The three of us stopped. "You what?" Neville asked.

"Okay...I'm...I should go", Ginny said awkwardly. She speed walks away.

"Iris, are you out of your mind?" Neville asked.

"Maybe I am, Neville, but I don't care if we're in different houses. We like each other, we kissed. That's life", I said.

"He's twice your age".

"3 years older", I corrected. "Neville, you've been one of my most supportive friends, but right now, you're not acting like yourself. What's gotten into you".

Neville doesn't say anything. He walked away.

The second challenge for the Tournament was at the Black lake. The champions had to rescue someone under water for an hour. Neville gave Harry some Gillyweed.

While we waited, me and Jack talked about our night at the Yule ball. There was 30 minutes left of the game and I finally asked Jack, "What are your real feelings about me?"

"I like you, Irina", Jack said. "You are amazing and if I have to switch houses to be with you, then I'm willing to take that risk.

"Y-You would quit Slytherin for me?" I asked. Jack nodded. "Jack, that's too much to ask. I can't ask you to do that. Even for me".

"It's not too much", Jack said.

I decided to ask him another question. "What are you going to do when you leave Hogwarts?" I asked.

"I plan to become an Auror", Jack said.

"You'll do spectacularly", I said.

Me and Jack kissed each other. I pretended not to notice Snape's hatred glares.

"Perhaps, we can be Aurors together. I wanted to be one since I was 7", I said.

"I've wanted to be one when I was 9...and you were 7 years old at the time", Jack said.

"Wow, what a twist", I said. "Why me though? A 13 year old Gryffindor?"

"I liked you since we first met. That pretty girl who wanted to learn about an Animagus. Potter may be the boy who lived, but you're the girl who never gave up on anything or anyone", Jack said.

"It's not possible for you to move to Gryffindor. And if it were, I wouldn't ask you to do that for me", I said.

"It would make it easier to date", Jack said.

"Are...you're asking me to be your girlfriend? Am I hearing right?" I asked.

"Yes. Your hearing is perfect, Irina", Jack said.

"Jack, I will be happy to be girlfriend", I said.

I heard water splashing behind me. I turned around to see that the first person to come out of the water was Cedric who rescued Cho, a Ravenclaw girl. Everyone cheered.

Now, I waited for Harry. I knew he was going to be okay, but he was still my Godbrother so I was still a little worried.

Then, I saw Krum come to the surface and he had saved Hermione. Me and Jack helped Hermione out of the water.

"Are you alright, Hermione?" I asked. Hermione nodded.

I looked at the water longingly. I waited for Harry. I saw two people come up to land. Ron and Fleur's little sister.

Fleur helped her sister and I helped Ron. Then, I saw Harry shoot out of the water. Everyone cheered. Harry landed on the dock.

"Harry", Dumbledore said. I ran towards Harry. A towel was wrapped around him to keep him warm.

Fleur walked towards Harry. "You saved her even though she wasn't yours to save. My little sister", Fleur said. "Thank you". As a reward, Harry got a kiss on both cheeks.

I smiled. Fleur looked at Ron. "And you, you helped", Fleur said. I shook my head. I knew that wasn't true.

"Well...yeah, a bit", Ron said. Fleur kissed him on the cheek. She took her sister's hand and walked away. Ron touched his cheek. "Mercy".

I rolled my eyes. Hermione walked towards Harry. "Harry, are you alright?" Hermione asked.

"Hermione, ow", Harry said. He was still recovering from the Gillyweed Neville gave him.

"Are you alright? You must be freezing. Personally, I think you behaved admirably", Hermione said.

"I finished last, Hermione", Harry said. Hermione kissed his head. "Ow!"

"First to last. Fleur never got past the Grindylows", Hermione said.

The students were cheering. Dumbledore tried to get their attention, but they continued. Dumbledore put his wand to his throat and shouted, "Attentiooooon!"

All of us who were standing by, covered our ears. "The winner is...Mr. Diggory!" Dumbledore shouted. Cedric's friends cheered. "Who showed innate command of the Bubble-Head charm. However, seeing as Mr. Potter would have finished first, had it not been for his determination to rescue, not only Mr. Weasley, but the others as well. We've agreed to award him second place!"

We all cheered. "Second place", Hermione said.

"For outstanding moral fiber", Dumbledore said.

I walked back to the Common room with Hermione, Ron and the Twins. I hung out with the twins in the common room. We talked about the day we had today.
