It turns out Hermione did not in fact no how to breath under water. Shocking.

"You know this wouldn't be a problem if you have starting trying to figure the clue when you got it." Hermione reprimanded her

#) I'm aware of that, I just din't figure out how it works till recently. I also couldn't hear it. (# They were sitting in the common room.

"So how'd you figure it out?"

#) Put it under water. (#

"And how did you hear it?" Hermione was getting annoyed.

#) I didn't. (#

"How do you know what it said then?"

#) Somebody else heard it."

"Ok, who heard the egg?"

#) Not me. (#

"HARI!"

#) Hermione! (#

"Arg!"

#) Ok fine.... it was Luna. (# Luna had already agreed to back her up.

 "Alright and what did the egg do?"

#) It sang. (#

"And what did it sing?"

#) words. (#

"DO YOU WANT MY HELP OR NOT!?"

#) I do. (#

"Then what did it sing?"

#) Come seek us where our voices sound, We cannot sing above the ground, And while you re searching, ponder this: We've taken what you'll sorely miss, An hour long you'll have to look, And to recover what we took, But past an hour- the prospect's black, Too late, it's gone, it wont come back (#

"It's mermaids."

#) Really? That fast!? It took me forever.... (#

"Yep."

#) Not faiiir. (#

Hermione stuck her tongue out at her. "Just cause you're terrible at riddles, You should get better at that by the way, in case it's in one of the tasks. You can't just make fun of them."

#) But that's booorrriiinnngg... (#

"Well we don't need to worry about that right now. We need to worry about you breathing under water.

#) alright I'll be in the Ravenclaw common room if you need me. (#

"Wait what? Why? How?"

#) I'll be in the Ravenclaw common room. There's a lot of books there that aren't in the library and I should research there. and How? The way I normally do, how do you think I get everywhere? (#

"Magic?"

Hari gave her bingo finger guns, and turned to walk out the door.

At the top of flight after flight of stairs she reached the door to the Ravenclaw common room.

"Oh, It's you." The door said, looking annoyed to see her. "Wonderful."

#) Can I enter? (#

The door sighed, knowing what was coming. "What four legs at dawn, two legs at noon, and three legs at dust?"

#) Not you. (#

"That is... technically.... correct." The door frowned, and opened.

#) Ha ha! Got you. (#

"Just go inside."

Hari did, and the door shut behind her.

#) Hey Luna (# Hari said as she joined the blond at one of the tables

#) Hey Luna (# Hari said as she joined the blond at one of the tables.

"Hello," Luna said dreamily. "You look different today?"

#)Is my hair weird?(#

"No silly, you're not wearing glasses!"

Hari realized she must have forgotten them this morning, that wasn't good, she was supposed to wear fake ones. She whipped them out of her bag and put them on. Luna shrugged.

"Have you figured out how to breath under water?"

#) No, not yet. (#

Luna nodded, "You should really be more careful if you don't want people to find out about Malfoy."

#) Malfoy? What about Malfoy? (#

"You know what I meant."

#) How do you know? (#

"It's obvious!"

#) Really!? (# Hari was really worried

"I'm just kidding the nargles told me... and I see things. I know the reason you were in the hospital wasn't cause you made a window explode. And then there was that time with the Ferret." 

#) Ok, I get it, I'll be more careful. (#

"Anyways, I would look in the bookcase over there." They pointed

#) Thanks Luna (# Hari said, making her way towards the book case before turning back. #) Do you wanna help me prank Hermione later? (#

Luna nodded, and Hari made her way over to the book case.

Four hours later, and with less than 20 days left till the task, Hari had found a potion.

A potion that allowed her to breath under water.

It would take a week to make and she needed to find Mermaid tears, Snowdrop, Gurdyroot, and Lionfish spine. The rest of the ingredients were all in the student supply.
