A Soul Bond - HP fanfic (Completed)

Chapter 14. Second task.

"Harry we should've had this task figured out weeks ago!" Hermione said. "The task is tomorrow!"

"Don't you think I know that?!" Harry was so stressed out, Evelyn could tell. They've been in the library for the last 5 hours just looking through books. Ron was already asleep in his chair but Hermione noticed and woke him up.

"Okay okay, let's go through it again-"

Harry repeated the message for like felt the hundredth time. Cedric was very kind in telling him how to descover the clue. He would've never had guessed that it needed to be open under water if it wasn't for Cedric. Harry liked that he was kind enough to tell him like he had done to him in the first task.

"Maybe... there's a potion that's quick to make that will allow you to breathe under water for an hour?" Evelyn tried.

"We've already searched. There's nothing." Hermione said. "I'm sorry for being so stressed, I'm just worried."

At that, Harry softened his eyes and hugged Hermione, "Whatever happens, even if I die, you'll still be okay."

"Shut up. That's not comforting."

Evelyn knows she shouldn't laugh, but it was such a unique scene. Hermione was so worried for Harry and she felt her, she got her, because even if she didn't show it like Hermione did, she felt the same.

She was worried sick. So worried, that she didn't eat anything today. The tournament stuck in her mind.

"What is Cedric doing? Maybe you could ask him and see if he would help Harry-" But before Evelyn could answer, professor Moody came towards them "Professor McGonagall requires to see you in her office as soon as possible."

"But sir- the second task is tomorrow, we haven't figure out a way to help Harry-"

"Since it is tomorrow, Harry needs his good night sleep. Please, follow me. Right now." Hermione looked pissed but nodded either way, Harry was going to follow "Not you Harry, just them. You need to go to sleep now."

Harry looked at his best friends and nodded, as he let them go.

Evelyn was feeling a bit nervous about this, she wasn't sure why McGonagall needed them right now. It was almost 9pm, it was time to turn off the lights in the whole castle.

"What does she needs us for exactly professor?" Hermione ask, as they followed him. But he did not answer.

"What do you think this is all about?" Ron ask, his face clearly scared.

"No idea."

"But you always know!" Ron said to Hermione.

"Well this time, I really don't know."

As they kept walking and got inside McGonagall's office, they saw that Fleur's little sister was also there, very much confused.

"Ah great, you are all here. Now, I'm very sorry about this."

The last thing they remember is seeing McGonagall raising her wand and doing a spell on them before they fell into what felt like a sleep.

***

When Harry woke up, he looked around the room and noticed that Ron did not come back last night. His bed was still made, making him confused.

All he thought was that maybe he was already eating breakfast, but it was pretty early.

He went to the great hall when he noticed that not even Hermione was there yet either. Did she stayed sleeping late? But that is not like Hermione at all.
