After Cedric and I woke up; I had went back to the Gryffindor common room to celebrate Harry's winning.
George and Fred held Harry on their shoulders as Harry held the egg high above his head.
Harry throws the the egg to Seamus. "Yes Harry. He wouldn't die. He won't loose a leg. Or an arm. Pack it all together. NEVER!" Fred and George yell. The whole room was loud with cheering. I was so proud for Harry. He had the happiest smile.
"Shush! Seamus yells. He kisses the egg. "Go on Harry. Open it. What's the clue?" He hands Harry the egg.
"Do you want me to open it?" Harry teased.
"Yeah!" The conman from yells.
"You want me to open it!" Harry yells again.
"Yes!"
Harry grabs the top of the egg. A small handle sat on top of the Golden artifact.
A loud wailing screeching sound is heard throughout the room.
I quickly covered my ears. "What the bloody hell was that?" Ron speaks. Hermione and I share a look of annoyances. Ron better apologize to Harry.
Everyone looks to Harry then Ron. Then back to Harry. "Alright everyone. Go back to your knitting." Fred said. "It's going to be uncomfortable enough with all you suds listening in." George continued. Every walks away and continue the party. Hermione takes a seat on the couch along with Pavarti. I leads on the back of the chair.
"I reckon you would have to be barking mad to put your name in the Goblet of Fire." Ron mumbles. His face looks guilty. "Took you long enough." Harry says. I could tell he still was upset with Ron. "Everyone was saying it behind your back." Ron explains.
Harry looks around the room. "Brilliant. That make me feel loads better." Sarcasm was in his voice. Ron smiles. "At least I warned you about the dragons."
Harry's face became confused. "Hagrid warned me about the dragons." Ron shakes his head. "No, no. Remember. I told Phoebe to tell Hermione that Seamus told Parvati and Dean that Hagrid was looking for you. Seamus never actually told me anything. So it was really me all along. Ron explains.
"What! Ronald That makes no sense." I laughed. "Who could possibly figure that out. That's completely mental." Harry rambled.
"I suppose I was a bit distraught." Ron accepts. I smile at Hermione. "Aww Bromance. Don't you just love it". I teased. "Boys." Hermione said.

It was around midnight and I was still up doing my essay for Astronomy. Im writing about the history of the Gemini Twins constellation.
Hermione and Ginny we're both fast asleep. Including Bonnie. Bonnie is a bunny I was given two years ago for my fourteenth birthday.
A tapping sound was heard on my window. I look over to a brown Barn Owl. She held a letter in her beak.
I open my window. I quickly took the parchment from her before she could peck my fingers.
Opening the letter I began to read.
Meet me outside your common room.
-Cedric
I put on my silk blush robe and walk down to the common room. The fire was still burning. I push the painting open and step into the cold hallway.
"Cedric. Where are you?" I whispered. I continued down the hall. The paintings were sleeping. Sir Nicholas let out soft snores. I smile to myself.
I turned the corner to see the statue of Boris The Bewildered. Before I could leave the hall a pair of arms slithered around my waist.
"Hey, Love." Cedric whispered in my ear. His warm breath made the hairs on my neck stand up.
"Why did you tell me to come here?" I asked. I turn myself around to face him. His grey eyes were dark.
"I want to try something with egg. I opened the egg after you left. All I heard was a wailing scream." Cedric sighs.
"Yeah, Harry's did the same." I added. So what do you have in mind?" Cedric smiles big. "Pine Fresh." Cedric whispers. A door to his right is suddenly revealed. I didn't even notice that. I've walked through this hall hundred of times.
Cedric allows me to go first. I am met with a huge bathtub. A giant facet had many colors of soap pouring into the water.
"Cedric Diggory, why are we in the Prefect Bathroom?" I say. I walk over to the tub and put my feet into the warm water.
"Well. I was thinking maybe I could put the egg under water." Cedric says. I look back at him with shock.
"I know, I know. It's a stupid idea." Cedric sighs. I quickly get up. "No that's not a stupid idea. That's a great idea." I encourage him.
Cedric smiles. "Thanks, Love." He then begins to take his clothes off. "CEDRIC! What are you doing?" My face was flushed.
"I'm getting into the tub." He says in a duh tone. "Come on, Phoebe. Get in." He waves his arms at me to come closer.
I walk to the edge of the tub. "Fine. But don't look at me until I am completely in the tub." I warn. Cedric puts his hands up in surrender. He turns around. I wait a few moments to make sure he doesn't turn around.
I begin to take my pajamas off. I tie my hair up into a bun. The air was cold against my naked body.
"Can I turn around?" Cedric suddenly asked. "No, not yet." I quickly get into the tub. I pull some bubbles towards me. Making sure they cover my breast. I grab onto the edge of the tub, since I can't swim.
"Okay. Now you can turn around." I tell him. Cedric quickly turns around. He wears a big smile on his face. "Why are you so far away?" He asked. My face turns red. "I can't swim." I say. I was kind of embarrassed. I'm a fifteen year old going on sixteen and I can't swim. How pathetic.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, Be." Cedric swims closer to me. Which causes me to buckle my arms over my chest. "Relax, Phoebe." He chuckles. "I'm just getting the egg." Cedric reaches behind me for the egg.
"Okay let's put it under water." He pushes the egg against the water. This time it did not wail.
"I don't hear anything. Maybe we should try putting our heads under water." I suggested. Cedric nods. "Okay, one, two, three."
We both submerge our heads under water.
"Come and seek us where our voices sound. We can not sing above the ground. And hour long you'll have to look. To recover what we took."
The beautiful melodic voice rung through out the water. Cedric and I both come up for air.
"I know what it is!" I say with glee. I take the egg from Cedric. I carefully study the marks on the egg. "There's seems to be an abstract drawing of Hogwarts and the Black Lake. So if I'm right. The mermaids in the black lake are going to take something from you. And you only have an hour to look." I smile as I figure the next task out.
Cedric gives me hug. And passionate kiss. "You are absolutely brilliant, love." He cheers. Our wet bodies molded perfectly together as we stayed in our hug.
"It's about time." A voice spoke. Cedric and I quickly broke from our hug. I turn around to see a ghost. She wore an old fashion Ravenclaw robe. And her lifeless eyes sat behind her round glasses.
"Moaning Myrtle, aren't you supposed to be in the girls bathroom on the first floor?" Cedric asked. I lightly hit him on the shoulder.
"Don't be rude, Cedric." I scold him. Myrtle how long have you been in here? I asked. "Long enough. Congratulations on figuring out the task." She says, as she leans forward, resting her head in her hands. "There's just one problem. "What?" Cedric speaks up.
"How are you going to breath under water for an hour?" She says.
"Damn it." Cedric mumbles. "Babe. Calm down. I'm sure you'll figure it out. "We can go to the library this weekend, and look up books about mermaids and underwater spells." I assure him.
Myrtle rolls her eyes. "Well I guess I should go. She flies over into the toilet leaving water on the floor.
I turn back to Cedric. "Well that was fun."
