y/n pov:
The Yule Ball was last night and everything felt right once again. Fred and I were talking, Angelina got exposed and Harry had figured out the second task which was only a couple of hours away.
Hermione, Ron, Harry, and I were in the library trying to figure out what Harry could do to help him complete the second task without well, drowning. All we knew is that Harry had to find something that was important to him in the black lake and that he had an hour to retrieve it.
In the middle of us trying to figure out what Harry could use to help him breathe underwater, we were interrupted by none other than Professor Moody.
"Granger, Weasley, Professor McGonagall needs to see you in her office" Professor Moody explained while pushing the two of them out of the library. Hermione and Ron scurried out of the library leaving Harry and I alone with Moody.
"Longbottom! help Potter with his books. Ms. Black, you come with me"
Harry and I exchanged concerned looks and then parted. Slowly but surely I followed behind Professor Moody, who leads the way to his office.
"Uh Professor, if you don't mind me asking, what exactly is it that you want?" I ask while examining the dark office.
"You're going to help me plan out the third task," He says blankly and then goes back to refilling his flask with a liquid from a small glass bottle.
I slowly creep my way behind his shoulder and try to see what he was pouring into his flask. Before I could get a good look at it he whipped around causing me to stumble backward a few steps.
"Get out" Professor Moody snapped, startling me slightly.
"Bloody hell alright," I say turning on my heel walking out of the room, but before I could leave he grabbed onto my wrist tightly and whispered in my ear
"Best not to snoop around where you're not supposed to be snooping. I want you back here tomorrow at 3 pm sharp" He said before aggressively releasing my arm.
I looked him over a mix of fear and anger resting upon my face. Without saying a single word, I quickly turn around and rush out of the small office.
What the bloody hell was this man's problem, he was acting quite strange, not the way a professor would normally act. While walking down the stairs and towards the grand staircase I feel myself collide with someone else. At first, I thought it was a wall and I just wasn't paying attention due to the millions of thoughts rushing through my head, but I realized I was mistaken when I looked up and saw a familiar red-headed boy.
"Fred, I haven't seen you all day," I say while grabbing his hand that he offered to help me up.
"Well I'm here now love, care to join me down at the black lake?" He says with his iconic smirk.
"I'd love to" I saw linking my arm with his.
Together, Fred and I made our way down to the black lake.
The second task had just started when we got there and the four contestants were anxiously waiting for the signal to start and dive into the water. Harry looked particularly anxious, I felt bad for the poor guy.
"Harry, Harry" I shout trying to get his attention.
Harry looked over at me and I give him a thumbs up and mouth "you got this"
Harry gave me an anxious smile but nonetheless, it was a smile.
The canon was shot meaning that the second task has started and the moment Harry jumped into the water my heart was going a million miles a minute. Harry was like a brother to me I don't know what I would do if something happened to him.
I think Fred could tell how anxious I was because I felt him grab my hand and squeeze it gently.
I buried my head into Fred's chest peeking out every five minutes or so waiting for Harry to come up with whatever it was he had to retreat. First Fleur came up with nothing, she had to forfeit due to being attacked by grindylows, then Cedric came up with Cho, and then Viktor with Hermione, but there was no Harry. There were only five minutes left until time ran out and there was no sign of Harry coming back up to the surface.
"Fred where is Harry," I asked leaning over the edge trying to see if Harry was anywhere near the surface.
Fred grabbed my waist ensuring I wouldn't accidentally fall in and despite all the anxiety I was feeling at the moment, Fred's touched seemed to calm my nerves.
In the distance, I could see two people at first I thought one of them was Harry but as they grew closer I realized that it was Ron and Fleur's younger sister. They quickly swam onto the dock but there was still no Harry insight.
Out of nowhere, Harry erupted from the water landing directly next to me on the dock. He sits up and I instantly wrap my arms around him.
"Harry bloody hell, you scared me. Are you alright?!" I say grabbing a towel and wrapping it around him.
Before Harry could say anything Dumbledore announced the winner and the places everyone else was in.
Cedric had won first place.
Fleur had gotten last.
Viktor third.
And Harry got second due to his courageous and heroic acts of saving both Ron and Fleur's sister.
All of Gryffindor started cheering and shouting for Harry, for he was the youngest and had gotten second bloody place.
Hermione had started talking to Harry so I turned around and was met with Fred.
Without saying a word I wrap my arms around his torso, I'm not too sure why but I was feeling pure bliss at the moment, Harry was safe and I had Fred again.
But not all was going to be this good for much longer because out of the corner of my eye I saw Mad-Eye Moody motioning for both Harry and I to come over.
