            𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 of the second task dawned crisp and cold, the kind of day where the chill in the air cut straight through even the warmest robes. The Hogwarts grounds were alive with anticipation as students and visitors alike made their way toward the Black Lake.

Olympia Harrington pulled her cloak tighter around her, her nerves jangling like an untuned harp. Her twin sister, Cassie, walked beside her, effortlessly elegant even with her hands stuffed in her pockets. Atlas strode slightly ahead of them, his broad shoulders squared, with one arm draped around Judeth. While Elvira, Marianna, and Seraphina chattered quietly behind.

"You okay?" Cassie asked, nudging Olympia with her elbow.

Olympia glanced at her sister, her brow furrowed. "I don't know," she admitted. "It's just—what if something happens to Cedric? Or Harry? The black lake is full of mysteries. Anything could be down there. Not to mention it's freezing!"

"Cedric can handle himself," Cassie said confidently. "And Harry? He's got half the castle rooting for him—and let's be honest, he's got a knack for surviving. Never met a bloke so damn lucky."

"Still," Olympia murmured, her gaze drifting toward the shimmering expanse of water ahead. The surface of the lake looked almost too calm, as if hiding its secrets just beneath. She tightened her grip on the strap of her satchel, where her wand rested, ready for anything.

Behind them, a familiar, boisterous laugh broke through her anxious thoughts. "Relax, Ols," Fred called, bounding up to their group with George and Lee in tow. "Cedric's got the looks and the brains. He'll be fine."

"And Harry?" Olympia asked, raising an eyebrow. "He's a child."

George shrugged, falling into step beside her. "Well, he's got a lot of luck on his side. That's got to count for something."
