♔︎Chapter 25: Y/n Black and Barty Crouches Hat♔︎

The season outside is slowly beginning to alter from a dreadful cold into a tolerable warmth as Harry filled me in on what Cedric had told him about the egg. 

"Are you serious?" I shake my head and sigh, "Come along Harry. Clearly I've got a thing or two to teach you." I smirk and we make our way towards the Prefects bathroom that Cedric had tipped him off about. 

"Go on, get in." I nudge him forward, his eyes wide. "Wha- what!? With you here?" I try not to laugh at the nervous boy in front of me, "Just keep your briefs on, aye. No need to completely strip." I smile nervously, trying not to think about a completely nude Harry standing beside me, or better yet. On top of me. 

I turn to see Harry fully submerged in the water, bubbles forming around him. I lift my own shirt over my head and kick my skirt off. Leaving me in just a bra and underwear. I slowly dip my toes into the water before stepping in and submerging myself. 

Harry slowly picks up the egg and stares at it, "I must be mad...." 

He undoes the screw top, releasing that awful screaming that makes my ears ring. I cover my ears as he puts the egg back in its original form. Suddenly to my left a giggle erupts from our left near the toilets, I turn my gaze to see Moaning Myrtle staring at us.

"I'd try putting it in the water if I were you," She states in a teasing manner. "Long time, no, see?" She laughs jokingly trying to take a peek at us. 

Harry puts his hands on my waist and pulls me closer to him, nearly right in his lap. "You know, I was circled a blocked drain the other day, saw some Polyjuice potion. You haven't been naughty lately, have you?" The ghost giggles again, floating closer towards us, 

I look back at Harry who is very flushed, "No... We haven't. Decided to steer clear of the stuff." 

"Kicked the habit," Harry wraps his arms around me lulling the bubbles to cover my chest. "Did you say to put it in the water?" Myrtle squeals and does a fake dive into the water, the water not moving an inch as she lands or rises once again. 

"Ooh, that's what he did. The other boy," She twirls one of her pigtails as if reminiscing at the thought of Cedric. I grab the egg from behind Harry and shove it under water, watching it bubble. With his arms still around me, Harry dives his head under the water. His glasses still on his face.

Myrtle gives me a smirk and follows after him and I instinctively cover his body, no way is she getting a show. Moments later Harry comes up, coughing violently from how long he was under water. I slide his glasses off his nose and brush his hair back out of his face, "Myrtle, there's merpeople in the Black Lake aren't there?" He questions.

"Ahh, very good," Myrtle says in a seductive tone inching closer to Harry. I huff and turn around, putting each leg on the outside of his. "Took ages for Cedric to figure it out, almost all the bubbles were gone." She smirks with another giggle, still inching closer causing Harry to guide our bodies away. 

"Aww, no fun." She mopes, my body completely covering Harry's with disappointment she must have finally called quits. I watch as her see through body lifts into the air and she dives back into the toilet she often cries in.

I look down at Harry who seems to be breathing heavily and on edge, I look at him puzzled with confusion, "Harry. You alright?" 

"Yea- Yeah I'm fine let's just uh let's just get out of here." Harry practically tosses me off of him and lifts himself out of the pool of water, and that's when I notice his problem. "Oh Harry," I burst into laughter and begin making my own way out of the pool and wrap myself into a bath robe I had brought in case. 

His face flushes a bright red and he carries the egg in front of him as he hurries out of the bathroom, leaving me a laughing disaster. Moaning Myrtle giggles too, "If I were you, I would have done something about that."
