"You are a genius Y/N." Harry yelled before he wrapped his arms around the girl. 

She gasped for air with Harry's tight hug. "What happened Harry?" 

"Water! The answer is water."  Harry beamed as he pulled away, he shaked the girl while still yelling, "You should should have been a Ravenclaw Y/N, you're a genius!"

Y/N finally managed to break free from Harry's embrace, "What happened? Did it say anything?" 

♤♡◇♧

"Harry tell me again."

"Come seek us where our voices sound." 

"The Black Lake that's obvious."

"An hour long you'll have to look..."

"Again obvious. Though admittedly, potentially problematic."

"Potentially problematic? When's the last time time you held your breath for an hour underwater Hermione?" Harry asked with his brows furrowed. His eyes were heavy and unfocussed because of the exhaustion he felt around every single piece of his body.

Ron was in no better condition, his snores annoyed Y/N, who was trying to gain energy by eating a chocolate bar as she leafed through the books in front of her. 

"Y/N, can we talk?" 

Henry was standing beside the tired-looking girl with a determinded look on his face. Y/N lifted her head from her book with furrowed brows. "I'm busy Nakamura." 

"It will be quick." 

Y/N shot her friends a look before closing the book in front of her. She stood up and followed the hazel-eyed boy.

They left the library and stopped to talk in a corridor. There was nobody around, considering most people were enjoying their time outside before the second task.   Y/N crossed her arms while leaning back, she had  a look of annoyance on her face. 

Henry was annoyed himself, however he was doing such a great job masking it. He had an apolegic look on his face when he took a step forward. "Did you accept my apology?"

"I did not, you gave me no explanation." 

Henry blinked in surprise, as if he wasn't expecting this answer the slightest. "Why don't you trust me?"

"Why don't I trust you?" Y/N repeated with a sarcastic laugh, her voice was loud, she was almost yelling. "I don't know maybe you should act like a normal person. You come here and befriend only me, nobody else, like a creep would do! Also, you ask me to the ball and I say yes. Then what did you do? You left me alone in the middle of the ball and refused to give me an explanation! "

"I was having a panic attack!"

Her lips parted in silent surprise, she wasn't expecting this the slightest.

"And I can't socialise because I am extremely shy around everybody except you! I don't know why you, when I first saw you I felt a boost of confidence, I thought I would never experience this because of my anxiety, but I did." Henry yelled while taking another step forward. Y/N gulped, she felt Henry's heavy breaths on her face with their faces becoming closer and closer with every second that passed.

"I did nothing, but be kind to you, I did nothing but show my love to you! But I still couldn't earn a single piece of your heart!" 

Henry jumped, distancing himself from the girl when he heard a professors voice behind him. Snape cleared his throat.

Henry stood rigit, terror written all over his face. 

"You should lower your voices Miss Lupin and Mr Nakamura, perhaps I would advise you two to continue on your argument outside."

Y/N took this as a chance to walk away. Her hair swayed as she took huried steps, leaving Snape with Henry, who felt his cheeks growing redder with embarrassment.

Y/N wandered around trying to find her friends, they were no where to be seen. She was pacing around like an anxious-wreck. She felt overwhelmed because of the talk she had with Henry.  Harry hadn't found a way to survive underwater when she left. She was also worried about him. 

She joined the crowd to watch the tournament. After she noticed Harry almost immediately, she yelled out for his name.

Harry noticing the familiar voice, turned to the crowd. He saw the waving girl and waved back. 'You'll be okay?' Y/N mouthed, earning a nod from Harry. 

She sighed in relief. However, she tensed of with another voice calling her name. "Your friends left you, Lupin?" 

Draco stood beside her, his body leaning to the stands. He had Crabbe and Goyle on his right, they were busy cheering for Cedric though.

Y/N turned to him with a questioning look on her face. He asked her to dance few nights ago, now he was back to his old usual self?

Y/N didn't answer to his stupid remark, she didn't want to deal with Draco's antics right now, considering how anxious she felt at that moment. She watched as Harry swallowed something before he started choking.

With the sound of the cannon, all champions dove in water. 

Draco wasn't satisfied with the reaction he got from the girl  beside him, so he decided that pushing her further would be an excellent idea. "Must be hard for you to wait here for an hour without anyone around."

Y/N crossed her arms as she fully turned to the blond. "Giving the hot and cold treatment now, are we?"

"I never gave you the hot treatment."  Draco protested, his usual smirk got replaced with a frown.

"Really?" Y/N responded, her hand travelled to her chin as if she was thinking. "As far as I recall, you were the one asking me to-"

"That meant nothing." Draco cut her off with a half-confident voice, he was also trying to reasure himself from inside, Y/N didn't know that of course. 

Y/N paused in surprise for a moment, she gulped and nodded with a fast manner. "Absolutely, yeah, that meant nothing." She said as she turned around to face the water again.

After a moment of silence Draco spoke again while leaning to the girl, "Meet me in the Room of Requirement tonight, I want to finish this potion 'till the end of the year." 

"11 pm?" 

"Yes, don't you ever think of ditching me again."

"I won't."
