So, onto the recap.

Last time, We got to see Harry before his first task then got to watch it. Finally saw and end to the fight between Harry and Ron then passed out. Then got to see a little more of the Kid.

So, without further adieu, let's get to it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your POV...

After a few days of catching up on sleep, I'm feeling a whole lot better. I'm in the Great Hall with Hermione, Ron, and Harry having some lunch. Hermione is reading the paper while the rest of us eat. 

"I can't believe she's done it again!" She shouts as she slams the paper on the table. "It seems that Hermione Granger has a taste for famous wizards. Her latest victim being famous Viktor Krum. No report on how Harry is taking this emotional blow."

I look at Harry and he just shrugs. 

"Well, I know that's not true." I say, waiting to see how everyone reacts. 

"Oh really?" Ron says. "What is then?"

"I know Hermione already has someone." I say looking at her.

She looks at me and smiles. 

"Oh yeah. And who's that?" Harry asks.

I look to my two friends, lean over the table a little, and say, "That depends on how well you two can keep a secret."

They start thinking for a minute and Hermione lightly slaps my shoulder.

"Y/n, just tell them." She says.

"No, wait. I want them to find out on their own." I say looking at my friend's eyes. "Wait, wait. Now they've got it."

They're eye light up and look at the two of us.

"Wait you two are-" Harry start.

"Uh-huh. Yep, he's got it." I grin.

"Since when?" Ron asks.

"The end of last year." Hermione says, taking my hand on the table lightly.

"I asked her. Though she did tell me to meet her so, I guess it's a fifty-fifty." I say, looking to my girlfriend.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Harry asks, laughing.

"Well, I figured you two would be the first to find it out, but when she asked me to keep it a secret I wanted to see how long it would take you two to realize it." I smile.

"I had no clue." Harry admits.

"I had my suspicions." Ron says, but I can tell he's lying.

"Uh-huh, sure you did." I smile.

I lightly let go of Hermione's hand and finish off my food. A kid walks up behind Ron and hands him a package.

"Oh, thank you Nigel." Ron says.

The kid stands there for a few extra seconds and Ron shoos him off after a few attempts.

"I promised him he'd get an autograph from Harry." He says, opening the package. "Oh look, mum sent me something."

We help him open it up and he takes out what is inside. He looks at it and holds it in front of him. 

"Mum sent me a dress." Ron says looking at it in slight disgust.
