Always Book One (Severus Snape Love Story)

Chapter 13: The Final Task

Rhiannon's POV:

George and I sat down at the end of the Gryffindor and I quickly grabbed some mashed potatoes.

"So are you going to tell me the truth now, or are you going to keep up this little charade." George asked as I swallowed some of the Mashed potatoes.

"I don't know what your talking about." I answered not looking at him. I heard Harry, Ron and Hermione sit down across from us.

"Don't you dare lie to me." George shouted, "Don't you think I noticed how close you two where. Don't you think I haven't noticed how different you act when he is around. I am not as stupid as you take me for Rhiannon."

"George, what are you talking about?" Hermione asked. I looked up at her. I looked between her, Harry and Ron. I let my eyes linger on Harry. I could feel the tears start to form.

"Do you think she meant for it to happen?" Harry said without taking his eyes off of me.

"You knew! You would tell him and not me!" George shouted. I looked around the Great Hall and the students who was in the Great Hall were starring at us.

"What is going on here?" Ron asked.

"Tell him." George snapped.

"Not here." I whispered. I stood up and motioned for them to follow me. I walked down the corridors towards the dungeons.

"Where are you taking us?" Ron asked, "What is so important that you couldn't tell us in the Great Hall?"

"OH MY MERLIN!" Hermione shouted making us all jump. "I figured it out! I know what she is hiding."

"And what would that be?" I questioned.

"I should have seen it before. The way he gives her more detention than anyone else. The way he watches her in the Great Hall. She has been snogging Professor Snape!" Hermione jumped up and down.

"Bloody Hell, Rhiannon!" Ron shouted.

"Ron calm down." Harry said, putting a hand on his friends shoulder.

"How can I stay calm, she cheated on my brother, with that......that git!"Ron cried. I looked down at my hands.

"I made a promise. I was only fulfilling that promise." I whispered looking up at the four people in front of me.

"What a promise to hurt me?" George snapped. I shock my head no. George huffed and started to walk away. Ron did the same. I was about to lose the two people, probably three if Fred found out, that I so desperately needed in my life.

"Ron! George! Come on! Don't be like that!" Hermione shouted after them. However that didn't make them turn around and came back.

"They will come around eventually." Harry explained, "Just like I am trying to do."

"Thank you Harry." I nodded, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you Hermione. We can't risk the Ministry to find out."

"It is alright, but I want to know everything!" Hermione poked fun. I smiled at her and nodded.

"I don't want to know the details of anything. However if he ever does anything to hurt you he will pay the price." Harry added. I smiled and pulled them both into a hug.

"You guys are the best." I whispered.

Going into the third task, Harry and Diggory were tied in first place with Krum and I tied in second and Delacour positioned third. On the evening of June 24th, we were tasked with traversing an imposing 20-foot-high maze full of obstacles, creatures and riddles. Little did any of us know that this would be the last time we saw Cedric Diggory alive.
