Him ( Ron Weasley )

chapter 10

"Harry you told me you figured the egg out weeks ago! The task is two days from now." Hermione sternly reminds the brunette as Ophelia and Harry stand next to her.

Harry sighs as if he hadn't heard this from her every hour she had the chance to say it, "Really? I had no idea." He sarcastically replies. "I suppose Viktor's already figured it out."

"Wouldn't know, we didn't really talk, about the Tournament. Actually. We didn't really talk at all, Viktor's more of a physical being."

Ophelia turns her head to look at Hermione as does Harry with raises eyebrows, Hermione chuckles, "I just mean he's not particularly- Well, mostly he watches me study. It's bit annoying actually, .....You are trying to figure this egg out. Aren't you?"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"It, just means that these tasks are supposed to. Test you. In the most brutal way, they're almost cruel....an uhm I'm scared for you, you got by the Dragons mostly on nerve, I'm not sure it's going to be enough this time..." Hermione gets interrupted by a smiling Cedric Diggory.

"Hey, Potter!"

"Harry, we'll go it's okay, uh see you later." Ophelia taps Harry's shoulder before walking away with Hermione.

"Harry. Tell me again." Hermione tosses the Golden egg to a snoring Ron, jolting him awake.

Harry rolls his eyes and sighs, "Come seek us where are voices sound." He looks over to Ophelia who is practically about to fall asleep with her head resting on her palm,

"An hour long you'll have to look," Hermione taps Ophelia who has fallen asleep with her head resting on the table. "Again, obvious, though I must admit. Potentially problematic." Hermione tilts her head to the side shaking Ophelia again. She wakes up and rubs her eyes before standing up to make sure she doesn't fall asleep again.

"Potentially problematic?! When was the last time you held your breath underwater for an hour Hermione?" Harry sits up sighs.

Hermione puts a hand on Harry's shoulder, "Look, Harry we can do this. The four of us can figure it out."

Mad-eye walks in and scoffs, "Hate to break up this, scholar session but Professor Magonagle would like to see you in her office," The four stand up and grab the things around them. "Not you Potter, Weasley. Just Granger and Black."

"Sir, the task is only hours away." Hermione argues as Ophelia deals with it and gets ready to walk out.

"Exactly. Presumably Potter is well prepared by now, and could do with a good nights sleep. Go, now!" Mad-eye sends the pair off

"No, because Hermione I haven't done anything wrong. I mean. Would I really be getting into trouble if you were also called?" Ophelia almost lectures Hermione as the two walk to Magonagle's office

————

"Ahh, miss. Black and miss. Granger," Magonagle smiles and walks into her office as Cho and Gabrielle Fleur Delacor's little sister stand by her desk. Cho greets Ophelia and Hermione with a smile as the two return.

"Well, as you all know. The second task is coming up in Merely hours away. We require for something special to be taken away from each of our champions. And we require something much more than a simple piece of clothing or a favourite book."

————

"Have you seen Ophelia or Hermione anywhere?" Ron asks Seamus as Harry gets ready to start the second task,

"No. Sorry."

"Welcome to the second task, last night something was stolen from each of our champions a treasure, of sorts. These four treasures one for each champion. Now lie at the bottom of the Black lake. In order to win each champion will need to find their treasure and return ur to the surface. Simple enough, except for this, they will have one hour to do so. And one hour only, after that they'll be on their own. No magic will save them, you may begin at the sight of the canon."

There had been no sign of the pair whatsoever since the night before, Ron and Harry assumed they had gone to their dorms after visiting Magonagle.

Seamus walks over to Ron, "Surprised she's actually talking to you despite what happened at the Yule ball." Seamus says and shrugs before sitting down next to Dean.

"Put this in your mouth." Mad-eye says giving Harry Gillyweed, Harry stands there gagging slightly as the canon goes off. Mad-eye pushes Harry underwater making Neville turn around quickly.

"Oh no! I've killed Harry Potter!" He shrieks as Harry jumps out of the water, Dean and Seamus laugh as Neville walks over confusedly.

Cho and Cedric come up from the water as his friends cheer loudly, Cho and Cedric get helped up onto the deck and are handed towels.

Shortly after Hermione and Viktor come up, The Durmstrang students erupt into cheer as Hermione wraps herself in a towel and waits patiently for Harry.

Ron widens his eyes when he sees Ophelia and Gabrielle, emerge from the lake. She coughs up water, and shivers intensely she gets handed a towel by Hermione and stands next to Ron,

"I want all the judges over here now!" Dumbledoor shouts Harry shivers Ophelia runs over to Harry and puts a towel around him.

"You saved her even, though she wasn't your to save. My little sister...thank you!" Fleur kisses both of Harry's cheeks he groans slightly in pain.

"And you!" She turns to a shivering Ophelia, "You helped!"

"I guess,"

Fleur chuckles and hugs Ophelia tightly before walking away with Gabrielle.

"I finished last Hermione,"

Hermione kisses Harry's head as he screams slightly in agony, "Next to last! Fleur never got past the Grindylows."

"Attention!" Dumbledoor shouts making Ophelia cover her ears. "The winner is....Mr. Diggory! Who showed an in-command of the bubble head charm."

Ophelia claps for Cedric the two had become quite good friends despite not talking to each other very much, as does Ron who is standing beside her.

"However, seeing as Mr. Potter would have finished first, had it not been for his determination to rescue not only Miss. Black, but the others aswell. We've agreed to award him. Second place!"

Ophelia cheers and hugs Harry tightly, "Second place!"

"For outstanding Moral fibre!"
