Joke's On You ~George Weasley~

Chapter 15 : A Small Gesture Goes A Long Way

"Welcome to the second task. Last night something was stolen from each of our champions. A treasure of sorts," Dumbledore speaks his wand at his throat.

"These four treasures, one for each champion, now lie on the bottom of the black lake. In order to win each champion need only find their treasure and return to the surface. Simple enough," He continues.

"Except for this, they will have one hour to do so and one hour only after that they'll be on their own," Dumbledore says, slightly more grim.

My eyes land on Ellie, our faces bore the same expression. Worry.

"You may begin at the start of the cannon" He said, he lowered his wand going to one of the upper levels.

Soon after the cannon fired and all of the champions dived elegantly, however Harry was pushed by Professor Moody.

***************

10 minutes had passed after Seamus came up to me asking :
              "What's the matter with him ?" Seamus asks, pointing at Neville.

Standing next to Seamus, looking over at Neville his eyes locked with the water below.

"Don't know can't see him" I respond, rubbing both of my forearms trying to keep warm.

"Oh my god, I've killed Harry Potter!" Neville shrieks, both his hands placed on his head.

Harry leaps into the air out of the water, creating a massive splash and entering it again.

*****************

"The Beauxbatons champion Miss Delacour has unfortunately been forced to retire. She will take no further part in this task" Dumbledore says, using the same enchantment as before.

I looked over to see George, a gaping look on his face. A smug smile creaping on my face.

Ellie shuffles away to go and stand next to Neville on the other side of the dock.

She gave me a cheery thumbs up, I rolled my eyes at her playfully.

"Are you cold ?" George asks, behind me.

I turned my head again our noses inches apart.

"Maybe you want that kiss more than I excepted" He smiles, I smile back in reply turning my face away, looking back to the water.

I was not, I repeat, was not going to give in, especially not to a Weasley twin.

"No actually I'm fine," I say in a Hermione like way, he let out a low chuckle "Well I guess I'm not the only one playing hard to get" I sigh, using my hand to turn his face to a girl in our year wiggling her fingers at him playfully, batting her fake eyelashes. I let his face go, putting it back on my forearm.

How did she even get fake eyelashes ? Must be Muggle-born.

"Of course you're cold," George says, placing a knitted scarf over my shoulders. "Take this to remind you of me," He smiles, he placed a light kiss on my cheek. "Sorry to hear about what happened with Cedric" He finishes.

His warm breath leaving my cheek, I smiled at him as he walks away backwards.

Stumbling a little as he did this. I shook my head jokingly, he almost fell over, Ellie walked back to my side silently standing next to me.

I just wrapped the scarf around my neck looking at the initial at the bottom which was marked with a cursive letter 'G'.

'A small gesture goes a long way' I thought. I play with the fabric at the end waiting to see what was going to happen next.

Cedric and Cho emerge, the crowd cheered.

Viktor and Hermione soon emerge next gasping for air as the crowd chants : 'Krum, Krum, Krum'.

I look over at the Beauxbatons girls, they share the same expression of worry.

Ron and a girl come up, they splutter out breaths filled with water. The girl is helped out of the water by Fleur, she reaches her hand frantically pulling her it. I help Ron, along with Hermione.

Harry is soon propelled out of the water, flew out and lands on the decking where I was previously standing. At least I wasn't there now or I would've been knocked over by Harry's force.
