"Harry, Alex, you both told me you'd figured the egg out weeks ago. The task is two days from now." Hermione chews us out.I say nothing as my mind is too preoccupied about the other night.
Harry, Hermione and I are standing on a bridge disscusing the clue for the next task.
"Really? I had no idea. I suppose Viktor's already figured it out." Harry sounds really frustrated.
"I wouldn't know, we didn't actually talk about the tournament. Actually we didn't really talk at all, Viktor's more of a physical being." Wow ... okay Mione.
"I just mean he's not particularly.. -Mostly he watches me study. It's a bit annoying actually." A little creepy I think she was ment to say.
I'm trying to pay attention to the conversation, but I cant help to continue thinking about a certain ginger, like the love stick teenager I am. 🤒
"You are trying to figure this egg out aren't you?"
"What's that supposed to mean?" why does he sound so affended?
"I mean these tasks are supposed to test you, in the most brutal way they're almost cruel. And um, I'm scared for you. Both of you. You got by the dragon mostly on nerve, I'm not sure it's going to be enough this time." She really is concerned isn't she.
"Hey Potter, Alex."
"Cedric." Harry simply acknowledges Cedric and starts to walk away while I nod following Harry, not feeling like talking today.
"How are you?"
"Spectacular." Harry says shortly while I shrugged still walking at a brisk pace.
"Look I realise I never really thanked you properly for tipping me off about those dragons."
"Forget about it. I'm sure you would have done the same for me."
"Exactly. You know the prefects bathroom on the fifth floor?"
Harry nods while I quirk an eye brow in a questioning manner.
"It's not a bad place for a bath. Just take your egg and mull things over in the hot water." he mischievously hints to us, I give him a smile as he leaves he returns it.
"You know, you have been awfully quite today. Are you sick?" Harry asked cautiously
"Hmm? Oh, no. Just tired today, didn't get much sleep last night, I was researching past tournaments for some kind of clue as to how to extract our clue but came up empty. Well ... I suppose I will go take my own bath then and see what happens, see you soon Harry. Meet me in the library this evening, hopefully we can sort this out."
"Okay, I will see you tonight."
