Hey what's up? It's us with another update whoop whoop! Hopefully we'll get another one up soon after, about the first task! OOOHH

You and Newt were walking silently around the grounds of Hogwarts, occasionally stopping to listen to someone's abrasive remark about you, or him. Having gotten quite used to them, you just rolled your eyes and grabbed Newt's hand even tighter, holding him back from pouncing on that person. The dreary sky didn't help either of your moods, since you had been expecting nice weather.
Yet another letdown.
Nearing the Black Lake, a large Ravenclaw crowd disbanded and walked away once they saw you and Newt coming, earning an irritated laugh from yourself. You walked around and found the nearest tree to the lake and sat down on the lumpy ground, your back to the tree. Newt positioned himself right next you and wrapped his arm around your shoulders, both of you staring at the lake in silence. Finally, Newt spoke up.
"Y/N, I'm scared for you." Newt whispered quietly, almost inaudible. "In fact, I'm terrified.
"It will be ok. I can handle myself fine." you reassured him, looking up to smile at his watery eyes. "Girls can handle themselves too, you know." you added, remembering why had been taunted and teased for being a Triwizard champion, because you were the only one that was a girl.
"I know they can, it's just.... Y/N, if you're k-killed or injured—" Newt choked out, tears threatening to fall. "I'd be d-devastated."
''You'll be there for me right?'' you inquired with hesitation, scared that Newt would be worried for you that he would chicken out of going to the competition. You needed him there cheering for you. He was the only way you could get through this without giving up.
''Yes, I will be there for you tomorrow. But I'm going to be a bundle of nerves the whole time, you realize that, don't you?"
''Yes, I realize that. It would help me a lot, as well, if you were there for me, cheering.'' you said with more confidence that Newt was going to be there. He held his hand out for you to push yourself up, and you pulled him off of the ground as well.
Both of you walked silently once more through the tress and toward the castle, absorbing the calmness around both of you. Newt reached out, pulled you into a comforting hug, and said nothing, just being there for you. You finally burst into tears from stress and worry, so Newt sat down with you and held you close to him. You could hear his heart beating rapidly in fear as you sobbed into his chest.
Once it was dinner time, you two got up and slowly walked hand in hand towards the castle, excited to eat once more before your big day. Newt and your other true friends from your house sat by you, along with his other few friends, assuring you that they'd be rooting for you during the First Task.
