There Must Be Some Mistake! Harry Potter!

Ch.44 The Second Task.

Okay to make this long story short I'm in a lake right now. You may be asking "Charlotte how the hell did you get into a lake?". But quite frankly I don't know. I mean the last thing I remember is Being in Minnie's office. As soon as Fred and George called me saying Minnie wanted I freaked. I went through all the bad things I had done that week.. But that's it. I don't remember anything after that. Not one thing. Now I'm underwater. I feel it brush against my skin. I can't move. I can't open my eyes. I can't open my mouth. But I guess that's a good thing.

I can hear slight cheers from above me. Oh I get it. Of course its the second task. I feel my arms fting by my side. A canon shot muffled by the water rings in my ear. Why am I down here? Around me I feel something brush against my foot. It felt scaly. Ewww it was a god damn fish. I hope. Its quite boring to be perfectly honest. I start to sing in my head. I want to jump at the feeling of a hand pushing past me.

Who or what the hell was that. Some water-muffled mumbling can be heard from around Mr and some of the tension lets up in my arm. Are there others down here with me? Only if I could open my God damn eyes.

A hand touches my face but quickly pulls away when something huge rushes past also releasing some tension. Whoever touched my face is now pulling at my leg trying to free me. The person lets go and in the distance I can hear shrieks. They sound like if Mrs Norris was being strangled.

A noise of a person speaking rings in my ear. He seems to be counting down from three. Dozens of things?People?Creatures? What ever they are push around me. As I feel someone hitting the weed that bound my to the floor of the lake with a rock. The grip around my foot was loosened and I floated. I felt an arm around my waist as the person grabbed from something else and kicked off from the ground.

The person dragging me up to the surface struggled a bit. But they keep on pushing. I can sense through my closed lids it getting brighter. Thank Merlin. The person who had seized me kept pushing on and on. I could hear the cheering get louder. The light getting brighter. We were nearing the surface I could sense it. Finally my head broke the surface and I could open my eyes. I could breath. I could move. I open my eyes to see..........Harry! I cough trying to draw in breaths. "Are you alright?"He asks me. I nod and look over to Gabrielle De lacour. "Tu vas bien?"I ask. She looks alright. She nods smiling. I asked her in French to make sure

I see Fleur with her arm outstrched. Over all the shouting and cheering u can here her call Gabrielle but I don't think she notices. I tap her shoulder and say "Aller à ta sœur". She nods swimming off. I follow with Harry. I climb up on a platform and pull myself out of the water. Harry follows. I shiver in the cold but turn back to hug Harry. "Thanks for saving me"I say my hands wrapped around him. He returns the hug and says "Its fine. It's a tad wet isn't? ". I punch him in the arm softly as I turn to see Neville Seámus and Dean. Seámus drapes a towel over me and Dean hands Harry a towel. I pull it around my body. Everything is drenched

Madam Pomfrey pulled me over to her and started poking and prodding at me. I push her away as all the judges get in a huddle. "Ladies and Gentlemen, we have reached our decision. Merchieftainess Murcus has told us exactly what happened at the bottom of the lake, and we have therefore decided to award marks out of fifty for each of the champions, as follows."Ludo Bagman said his voices booming over everyone. "Miss Fleur Delacour, though she demonstrated excellent use of the Bubble-Head Charm, was attacked by Grindylows as she approached her goal and failed to retrieve her hostage. We award her twenty-five points"

Applause from the stands. "I deserved zero".Fleur said. "Mr Cedric Diggory, who also used the Bubble head charm, was the first to return with his hostage, though he returned one minute outside the time limit of an hour"Cheers come from everyone. "We therefore award him forty-seven points". I feel Neville behind me rubbing my arm.

"Mr Viktor Krum used an incomplete form of tranfiguration,which was nevertheless effective, and was second to return with his hostage. We award him forty points"Ludo Bagman says. Karkaroff clapped very loudly. "Mr Harry Potter used Gillyweed to great effect"Bagman continues "He returned last, and well outside the time limit of about hour. However, the Merchieftainess informs us that Mr Potter was first to reach the hostages, and the delay in his return was due to his determination to return all the hostages to safety, not merely his own."I look at Harry who ha turned to me. I smile

"Most of the judges"That's when Bagman gave Karkaroff a dirty look "Feel that this shows moral fibre and merits full marks. However....Mr Potter's score is forty-five points. I cheer very loudly. So does everyone else. After that Bagman goes on about when the next task is going to be. I start to walk back to Hogwarts with Neville. I spot Justin. "

"Justin"I shout. He keeps walking. "Justin"I shout again wondering if he had heard that one. I ran to catch up with him. "Justin. What's wrong are you deaf?"I say walking in front if him. I keep walking backwards. He ignores me again. "For Merlin's sake what the fuck is wrong?" "I don't know maybe you should ask Harry" He says pushing me to the side. "What do you mean"I say walking up next to him. My towel bunched around my shoulders. My shoes squeak as I walk up to him. "I saw you hug him and the way you looked at him when they announced his points."Justin says his hands in his pockets. I start to laugh. "I'm sorry you think that's funny". I have to stop myself laughing but only manage to do it to say "Harry's my cousin" "What?Really? "Justin asks with a smile on his face. I nod finally stopping laughing. He runs to me and picks me up so my legs wrap around his waist. I laugh before his pushes his lips against mine. I melt into his kiss.

I pull away looking into his eyes. Sarcastically I say "Justin Finch-Fletchly how dare you accuse me of cheating"He answers even more sarcastically "Yeah how dare I"
