"How could you leave it to the last minute, Harry?!" I yell.
"I don't know, I guess I just forgot," Harry replies Bordley.
"You blithering idiot! How do you suppose you're going to breathe underwater for an hour without spells or anything?"
"Uh, I don't know. I defeated Voldemort three times, one of them being when I was an infant and fought off at least 100 dementors last year. I think I'll figure something out."
"You better, Harry James Potter. I am not about to be an only child!"
"What are you two on about?" Ron asks. Something about Ron's voice sounds like he's always accusing someone when he asks a question.
"Holly's about to become an only child," Harry responds like a smartass. I smack him very cleanly in the back of the head and cross my arms over my chest.
"Do you have any ideas, Ronald?"
"No. Hermione doesn't either. She's frantically looking over the same books again." Ron sighs.
"How on Earth are you two so calm?" I practically yell.
"Potter!" A raspy voice calls.
"Yes?" Harry and I answer at the same time. Moody limps around the corner.
"Not you, Potter. Woman."
"What is my new name Woman now?" I'm feeling rather ballsy at the moment.
"No, I just couldn't remember your name," Moody says taken aback.
"No, you couldn't be bothered to. Have you any idea what my relation to Harry is?" I asked angrily.
"Erm, girlfriend? Or Head of the Harry Potter Fan Club?" He asks with a smirk. I was not having it.
"No! You bloody moron. I'm his sister!" I throw my hands up in the air in frustration. Ron and Harry were baffled by my insult towards the professor. Moody's expression remained unchanged.
"Whatever. Woman, follow me!" He says to me once again, turning out of the library.
"I am not going anywhere with you, Rather Large Man With A Small Wanker." I shoot back. I cross my arms and pop out my hip. By this time, Ron's jaw is on the floor and Harry has a proud smile mixed with shock on his face.
"How dare you disrespect me like that. The Lord will see you to your-" Moody starts as he turns to face me, expression now extremely angry.
"Disrespect me, I disrespect you. Treat people how you want to be treated. And what was that you were saying about the Lord? Referring to Voldemort, now are we?" I was on a roll. I stepped forward for effect, trying to get under Moody's skin, his face going, scared, was it? "Were you giving me a death threat, perhaps? "The Lord will see you to your death bed, right?" A death threat from a death eater." Moody was at a loss of words. His face remained shocked, but he calmed down.
"Professor Mcgonagall would like to see you and Miss Granger in her office." He said plainly.
"That's all you had to say. Hermione!" I yell to beckon her.
"Coming!" She yells back. For what just went on, I expected her to have a less cheerful and unbothered demeanour. "Did you guys find anything?" She asks. Harry and Ron stair at her with vacant expressions. "What?" She asks confused.
"Did you not hear any of that?" Harry asks. Hermione's face twists in confusion.
"No, what happened?"
"Holly just totally blasted Moody." Ron said, now looking extremely proud of me. Hermione becomes angry.
"You what?"
"We will talk about it later, Granger. We have to get to Mcgonagall's office." I grab her by the hand before she can properly get mad at me. When we reached Mcgonagall's office, Cho Chang and a young French girl were sitting in front of Mcgonagall's desk.
"Ladies, how nice to see you! Sorry for calling you late, but there is something we must discuss. For the champions next task, they will have to save something that has been stolen from them, which happens to be you four." Gasps filled the room, and the little French girl started to tremble. "Now don't you worry. We would never put you in a situation where you could get hurt. You will all be heavily sedated and able to breath."
"Sorry professor, but you said 'able to breath.' What's that got to do with anything?" Cho asked nervously.
"Oh, you will be tied to the black lake. And I assure all of you you will be very safe. If there is a situation you may be put in where you are not, 20 galleons to you, alright?" Everyone nodded their heads. "Excellent. Miss. Delacour, you will be saved by your sister, Miss. Chang by Mr. Diggory, Miss. Granger by Mr. Krum, and Miss. Potter by your brother. Sound good?" We nodded our heads again and Mcgonagall clapped her hands together excitedly. "Well let's get started then, shall we?"
