Ophelia || Harry Potter

Chapter 55

Death

Summer was now rolling in. It was currently May and that meant one month to the last task. Harry was slightly stressed but we all tried our best to distract him. The two of us had times in the tower however Ron ruined it every time he attempted to ask the expecting question. We also spent time down in Hogsmede, by the Black Lake, in the library or the great hall

We were all now sat by the Black Lake

"So what do you guys plan to do this summer?" I ask the lot of them

"Well I'll have to deal with my brothers so yeah" Ginny sighs

"And I'll have to deal with you" Ron replies

"I'll spend time with my mum and dad" Hermione smiles

"I'm going to help daddy" Luna says

"I guess I'll be locked up at the Dursley's"

All our faces dropped. We did feel bad for Harry. He never got to see us over summer plus having to deal with his aunt, uncle and cousin

"What about you Ophelia?" He asks

"Mmm I'll probably spend the time with my dad and Sirius"

"Does Sirius enjoy being a free man?"

"Yeah but I think it's hard when I'm at school since he just has Remus"

"What do you mean?"

"Well James is dead, Lily is dead, My mother is dead and Peter was a filthy traitor" I say bluntly "Plus I don't think my dad likes him and vice versa"

"What makes you say that?" Hermione asks

"Pffft every time I hang out with Sirius my dad would always make sure I was perfectly fine when I returned home, not to mention the looks they give each other"

Suddenly a boy comes running over

"Did you guys hear?"

"Hear what?" We ask looking at him confused

"Mr Crouch was murdered on Hogwarts grounds"

He then runs off

"What the?"

"How could someone by murdered on school grounds?"

"Exactly, someone here murdered him"

We all fell into deep suspicions. No one came up with a great answer. It was always trial and error

"Who knows" I whisper

~~~

The mystery of Crouch's death was still roaming the castle. No one knew

The third tournament had finally arrived though. Harry was a slight wreck still. Even though we knew it was a maze from seeing it; The Quidditch pitch was changed into it. We weren't sure what the objective would be. They had already captured the golden egg and I had almost drowned so we're not sure

As viewers we had to make our way down to the stands before the champions came. I was walking down with Ginny, Luna, Hermione, Ron, the twins and some others

"What do you think the task is?" Ginny asked

"Well if it's a maze then they probably have to get something from the middle" I say

"Like the cup?" Luna suggested

"Probably" Hermione agreed

"I mean it will grant eternal glory" I enthusiastically announce raising my hands into the air
