Father's Little Deatheater

Grindylow's Attack

Over the next month I had multiple meetings with Barty so he can teach me the Bubblehead charm, so I can breathe underwater for the second task. Which was held in the black lake. He taught me the basics of speaking Mermish. I was informed I am supposed to come up with ways to stop the other students from reaching their treasures before Harry. I told Draco they way he could help is to make up excuses as to where I am during these last two tasks, incase anyone asks.

'Sanuspirantes'

'Splash'

Its an hour before everyone was to gather at the three stands in the middle of the black lake, I am already in the water, with the bubblehead charm already cast. "Do whatever you can to get Harry there first. Don't freak out when you see the treasures. Their safety is under control." Barty reminds me. I look at him with a confused face. I wonder what that's all about. I have an hour to prepare.

Diving down into the depths, I see a lot of different creatures swimming around. But its the Merpeople and the Grindylow's I'm after. I manage to convince a few Grindylow's to attack the blonde Triwizard Champion Fleur on my command. It took some time,  but I managed just as the champions jump into the water. I swim into a huge array of sea grass, hoping I will be camouflaged enough in my green wetsuit. I catch a glimpse of Cedric pass by the pack of Grindylows with no problem. "Damn it" I mutter. As soon as I see Fleur I command the Grindylows to attack her so she cant make it out. I feel slightly bad for the poor girl. But I know deep down I have no choice.

I start to panic as I see a shark heading towards me. But as I look closer I notice human eyes and weirdly sharp teeth. It's Krum transformed to look like a shark. I shake my head, as I pull out my wand to cast 'Reparafarge'. Krum starts to turn back into his human form. He starts to panic as he cant breathe underwater. I notice he has his wand in his mouth, he shakes his head in more of a panic only managing to transform his top half back into a shark. I snicker to myself as the twins voices come to my mind as the say 'Dumb Krum.'

I swim as fast as I can to were the merpeople are gathering. I let out a gasp when I see what the treasures are. Ron, Hermione, Atti and Fleur's sister are floating in the water being held down by a huge rock anchoring them down. They look so pale, but Barty's words play in my head 'Their safety is under control'. I notice Harry swimming over to Ron, placing his hands on Ron's face. He glances at the others before somersaulting backwards and swimming down to unravel the rope from Ron's foot. Cedric now arrives using his wand to break the rope holding Atti down, but stops to point to his watch with his wand. Pointing out to Harry to hurry up.

Yes Harry hurry up and emerge out of the water.

Cedric leaves with Atti floating up to the surface. But Harry stays behind.

What is he doing.

My thoughts are answered seconds later as Harry extends his wand to break free Hermione. But he is of course caught by three merpeople. "Only one." It hisses as they all hold their tridents out to Harrys neck. They swim away just as Harry gets frightened by a still half transfigured shark comes towards him. He ignores Harry ad he swims startght over to chomp onto Hermione's rope, ripping it from its anchor. He grabs her by the hand and drags her up to the surface. Harry grabs onto Ron's arm, as he looks around.

No Harry don't do it

Don't you dare

He bloody did it

Harry pulls out his wand again sending sparks fly to break Fleur's sisters rope. He then proceeds to carry them both up to the surface both in each arm. As he floats up it looks like he starts to panic. His gills must be closing back up from the gillyweed. A bunch of grindylows attack Harry, trying to pull him down. He pushes the two bodies up to the surface, as he continues to be pulled down by the grindylows.

He manages to grab his wand to send the grindylows away, stunning the creatures causing them to scamper away. Harry falls further down clutching onto his neck as he starts to drown. Just as I'm about to cast a spell to save him, Harry saves himself by casting 'Ascendio'. Which ascends him out of the water.

Well I guess I'm done. Harry made it out and saved two people, which I hope gives him more points.

I swim all the way to the shore where everyone left their boats, and run into the forbidden forest so I'm not seen. I make my way to my shack where I have clothes I can change into. Later on in the Slytherin common room Draco tells me the contestants places they came and Harry got second.

"Howd everything go in the water." My brother asks. "Good, Sorry Draco but I'm going to bed I'm exhausted." I apologise, before heading straight off to bed.

I manage to get a few hours sleep, before a banging is heard on my door. "Moody wants to speak to you." Draco's voice bellows from the other side. "Okay fine, coming," I yell back, letting out a sigh. I glance at the time its around 8pm, that means I missed dinner. I quickly check my appearance in the mirror. Its fine I guess. I grab my hoodie and throw it on over my jeans and sports bra. I place my hood over my head, just incase I'm spotted heading to Barty's office.

When I arrive he proceeds to tell me the third task is going to be a big maze, which the Triwizard cup is being placed in the middle. He's going to make it a portkey so as soon as Harry touches it he will be transported to the graveyard.

My task is to retrieve a special object that for some reason has to be Hidden in Salazar Slytherins verry own Scriptorium. I was informed I needed to take someone who can speak parsletounge. My mind instantly went to Atti. As I'm walking back to the common room I quickly decide to head down to the kitchens to get some food, as I skipped dinner.
