No strings attached. A Ron Weasley love story.

The second task

Harry's POV.

Ron and I trudged into the Gryffindor common room,exhausted and miserable. When we got in there,though,Bean was spinning around,her red hair fanning out like a sun. "Best night ever!" She squealed,crashing into the wall. "Ow." She giggled. "How'd it go?" Ron muttered,kicking his shoes off. Bean did a cartwheel,her dress fraying at the bottom. "Wonderful!" She exclaimed. "Oh,and Harry?" She added,walking up the stairs. "Yes?" I asked. "Cedric and I snogged." She said simply,before she flew up the stairs to her dormitory.

I gritted my teeth. 'Must not show anger. Must not show anger.' I told myself repeatedly in my head. "That sounds interesting." Ron said crankily. I nodded. "She shouldn't have gone with him. He's gonna break her heart." I commented. Ron nodded. "Say Harry,did you solve the egg thing yet?" He asked. I nodded. "Yeah. And believe me,taking a bath with Myrtle floating around is not fun." I muttered. "I can understand that. Well,I'm going to bed. 'Night." He said. "Goodnight." I said. Ron took off up the stairs,unbuttoning his robes quickly. I sat down on the sofa and starred into the fire place. I felt my eyelids getting heavy. And before I knew it, I was asleep.

A week later.

"Just eat that,Harry Potter! And you will be perfectly safe!" Dobby squealed. I looked at the slimey substance Dobby had placed in my hands. "Should I eat it now?" I asked akwardly. "No,no,Harry Potter! Eat right before you jump into the water!" Dobby exclaimed. "Uh,okay. Thanks,Dobby." I said. "You're welcome,Harry Potter!" Dobby said happily,tears welling up in his eyes. He then snapped his fingers,and vanished.

Cedric's POV.

Right after Crouch finished explaining the task,I took my coat off. It was freezing out here. I was in my bathing suit. It was January,and we were supposed to find something important to us in the bottom of a freezing lake. Great. I wondered what is was. A shot rang out. "Go!" Crouch shouted. I jumped off the platform and into the lake. I almost instantly started swimming to the top. It was so cold,I couldn't stand it. I then could feel the bubble head charm working. I could breath again,thank God. I started swimming down;it was kind of cloudy,but I could still see. I saw Fleur swimming deeper. I started following her. I then saw a whole bunch of Grindylows. I swam as fast as I could to the left before they got me. I then saw something. A person. With blonde hair. I swam over. This girl was Gabrielle Delacour. I then realised something. We had to save a person. This was Fleur's sister. But I didn't have a sister. I hope I could figure out who to save. I felt Gabrielle's chest. She was still breathing. I breathed a sigh of relief. I started swimming around,looking for someone else,when I saw her. There was Bean,frozen,her dark red hair wet,her eyes closed. Her leg was tied to a long weed,which was firmly stuck in the ground. I swam down towards the ground and started yanking with all my might. The weed finally snapped free. I swam back up again and pulled Bean up by holding under her shoulders. She wasn't thick on land,but underwater,everything weighs more. At least,down here it did. I was kicking my legs like crazy,until I finally got to the top. I popped my head out of the water right as the charm broke. Bean was spluttering like a fish out of water,clinging to my arm like it was a life preserver,and we were both sopping wet. Two ministry assistants pulled us out of the water and gave us towels.

We both started drying off,just as Viktor Krum and Hermione Granger came up. "Hermione!" Bean exclaimed,running to the edge. She almost fell into the water again. I grabbed her arm right as she was slipping. "Careful,sweetheart! I mean,Belania." I said,my face heating up. She smirked at me,and snogged me on the mouth. When she broke away,she winked at me,and went up to the stands to sit with some Gryffindors.
