Erika's POV
Belle was pacing back and forth, ever since we woke up.
"What's wrong, Belle?" I asked.

She didn't answer me but she continued what she was doing.
"Belle!" I exclaimed.

She nearly jumped. "Y-Yeah?"

"Finally you answered. Tell me what's wrong?" I asked.
"It's the 3rd task, Erika. And it's tomorrow." she replied.

That's it? I thought.

Then Belle started to pace around again.
I sighed and went to up and grabbed her shoulders.

"Yah! Belle! Calm down will ya! I know this is under pressure but have a little break!" I exclaimed as I shook her shoulders.

"Yah! Yah! You're making me dizzy." Belle said.
I stopped shaking her shoulders. "Sorry."

I let go of her shoulders.

"I'm so worried about it. I can't stop pacing around." Belle said.
"Aish, Seriously Belle. Hermione and I will help you out. Even Harry." I said.

"Speaking of Harry....where did he go?" Belle asked.
"I have no idea." I replied.

Harry's POV
After I talk to Dumbledore, I told him about my dreams. Same dream every time. He told me not to worry about it.

I was about head back to common room, until Snape's Shop was open.
Igor Karakoff was in there.

I noticed that he had 'his' mark. He gave me a look and left.
And I was about to leave too.

"Potter, what's your hurry?" Snape asked.

I turned him and didn't say anything.

"Congratulations on winning the second task in the black lake. Gillyweed?" he said.
"Yes, sir." I answered.
"Brilliant." he said.

Then he went back to his Potion shop.
"That's very smart of you. But I guess you don't know what this is." he said.

He pulled out a potion and held it in front of me.
"Do you know what's this?" he asked.

I shrugged. "Bubble Juice, sir."
"Veritaserum. One sip of this...you'll be spilling out the truth. Like how you stole my Polyjuice Potion." he said.

Oh, no he didn't. I thought.

"I didn't steal anything." I defended.
"I don't believe you. You and little friends will get it and I'm going to found out why." Snape said.

With that, he shut his door right in front of my face.

I blinked a couple times and went back to the common room.

Erika's POV
Harry came back and we started to practice spells. Belle was kind of freaking out.
"Belle, focus." Kai Oppa said.

Oh yeah....the handsome Kai Oppa is here. Hehe XD

Belle said and aimed her wand at a box.
"Pretend that box is your opponent." Kai Opp said.

Belle nodded and said a spell. It went towards Harry.
"Now, your turn Harry." I said.

He nodded and aimed his wand at the box.
"Stupefy!"

The box went back to Belle.
"Expelliarmus!"

Belle destroyed the box.
"That's brilliant." Hermione said.

Kai Oppa smiled and he used his hands to repair the broken box.
"That's enough for tonight. Looks like you two are ready." he said.

"Thanks...Kai." Harry mumbled.
"Gomowo Oppa." Belle said.

Kai Oppa smiled and patted on their heads.
"Good luck, you two. We'll be cheering for you." He said.

"Thankful. Harry said.

Kai Oppa chuckled and bid his goodbye. He left the common room.

Belle sighed and plopped herself on the couch.

"It feeling under pressure?" Harry asked.
"A little." Belle replied.

I sat by Belle and patted on her shoulder.
"You'll be all right." I said

she nodded.

"Lets get some right. We have a big day ahead of us." Harry said.

Belle nodded.

"You go on ahead, I'll be up in a bit." I said.
Belle nodded and went to the dorms.

Its only me and Harry now.
"You feeling okay?" I asked.
"a little. I'm feeling the same way as Belle right now." Harry replied.

I gave him a smile and held his hands
"You'll be okay out there. I'm sure of it." I said.

Harry chuckle and we suddenly made eye contact.
"Well, um...good night." I said.
"Night."

Harry and I parted ways to our dorms and went to sleep.
