The Second Task

589 23 16
                                    

I woke up early the next morning before the sun had come up. I took a shower and dried my hair, I braided my hair on either side of my face. I got dressed in jeans and a Hogwarts pullover that was black with the Hogwarts emblem on the front. I put on my yellow knit hat. I quietly slipped on my boots and went down to the common room. I headed for the infirmary. I met Madame Pomfrey there.

"Come along dear we have to get these children down to the docks." she said bustling around. I looked down at the four of them deeply unconscious. Four very large seventh years walked in. Madame Pomfrey instructed them to levitate the people down to the docks. There were four mats waiting for them there.

"Madame P, what can I do?"

"Ah! Yes dear, why don't you fill the box full of towels and and blankets. There is a large cauldron of warming potion that needs attention." I nodded at went to find the towels. I packed the wooden crate full of soft thick blankets. I headed over to Madame's desk. There were small empty vials sitting on her desk. I carefully poured the potion into them. A small drop landed on my skin. It immediately made my icy hand feel the warmth spread.

As I walked over to the docks, I could see the dense fog rolling over the Black Lake. Sitting on rocks near the edge of the water were Fred and George.

"Hi guys." I said struggling with the large crate.

"Ello love." Fred looked up and winked at me.

"What are you two doing?"

"Preparing to take bets!" George smirked

"Bets? Bets on what?"

"The mermaid food." They said in unison while nodding towards the docks.

"You two are awful." I laughed and walked away.

The sun was begining to come up and we could just barely see some people begin to arrive. Viktor and Fluer were the first to arrive. Soon, almost everyone was here. Cheering for their preferred champion. Harry looked completely horrible. I went up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Good luck Harry." He barely smiled and nodded a little my way.

Joel and Remedy showed up. Remedy stayed and helped me hold towels. The cannon shot and the champions dove into the water.

Remedy nudged my arm, "Is Harry okay?" she nodded her head towards the direction Harry was.

"Well... he's choking." Mad-eye shifted behind him and pushed him into the water.

"Should we help him?"

"We cant, the task has already started we cant intervene until he comes back to the dock." Just then Harry lept out of the water, did a flip, and dove back in.

"Show off..." Remedy muttered.

"Yeah" I nodded.

The task went slow. It wasn't all that interesting for those of us above. The first one out was Fluer, she came up alone...

"Oh no.." I raced over and put a towel around her shoulders. I forced the potion down her throat, she was as cold as ice. Next was Viktor with Hermione. Then Digory with Cho. Lastly was Harry with Ron and Fluers little sister. Remedy helped me hand out all the towels and blankets to the champions. Cederic was announced as first place and Harry was awarded second because he rescued two people.

When everything was over, Remedy and I went to Hogsmeade. We wondered around a bit. We finally landed in the Three Broom Sticks. We were casually talking when Remedy shot a glare towards the door. I turned around to see Draco.
