"Harry you told us you'd figured the  egg out weeks ago. The task is two days from now." Hermione sighed as the three of us stood on the bridge looking over the grounds of the castle. 

"Really? I had no idea. I suppose Viktor's already figured it out." He sassed, rolling his eyes.

"I wouldn't know, we didn't actually talk about the tournament. Actually we didn't really talk at all, Viktor's more of a physical being. I just mean he's not particularly... Mostly he watches me study. It's a bit annoying actually-You are trying to figure this egg out aren't you?" She asked cutting herself off from the explanation of her relationship with Viktor. They were an odd pair, her and Viktor, but if she's happy...

All I'm saying is, I sort of think he may be too old for her. He's 18 and she's only 15, but she never listens when I bring it up. She says I can't talk because I'm dating Fred but he's only 16!

"What's that supposed to mean?" He asked defensively, pulling my focus back to the conversation.

"I mean these tasks are supposed to test you, in the most brutal way they're  almost cruel. And um, I'm scared for  you. You got by the dragon mostly on nerve, I'm not sure it's going to be enough this time." She elaborated

"Well Vi, what do you think?" Harry asked turning to face me, just as I was about to voice my partial agreement with Hermione a voice cut me off

"Hey Potter?"

"Cedric." Harry answered shortly, turning to face the Hufflepuff. I glared at Cedric, still not over the way he'd treated Fred. Fred might have forgiven him but I never will.

"How are you?" Cedric asked awkwardly, glancing in my direction. He knew I didn't like him and I didn't care how obvious I'd made it.

"Spectacular." Harry muttered rolling his eyes again. Cedric nodded probably realizing Harry wasn't in the mood for conversation. He sighed looking around at the four of us before his eyes went back to Harry.

"Look, I realise I never really thanked you properly for tipping me off about those dragons." Cedric explained as I saw the twins moving just past my line of sight.

"I'll meet up with you later." I whispered in Harry's ear before running over to them.

"What did Diggory want?" George asked glaring over my shoulder. While George didn't know everything about Cedric and Fred, he knew the older boy hurt his brother. And to him, that was enough to dislike him as much, if not more than I did.

"Something about the dragons from the first task. I guess Harry told him about them." I shrugged wrapping my arm around Fred's waist as we walked away.

"Wanna help us with a prank?" Fred asked looking down at me with a hopeful look on his face.

"Oh I'd love to! Lead the way, Weasleys!" I exclaimed grabbing each of their hands as we quickly ran down the corridor.
