Maddy’s POV
Today was the day of the 2nd tournament in the Triwizard cup.
“Have you figured it out yet, Harry?” I asked my brother.
With a sigh he replied, “Not yet. The egg gave me a clue though”.
“What clue was it?” I asked.
“A woman singing but it only happened when I put the egg under water”, he stated.
“What did she say?” I questioned.
“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 have to look,
And to recover what we took,
But past an hour - the prospect’s black,
Too late, it's gone, it won’t come back”, he recited.
Suddenly an idea popped into my head.
“The black lake”, I stated before skipping away from him cheerfully.
I sat with Fred in the common room with anticipation. We were heading to the Black Lake in an hour. I was terrified for Harry. I needed to figure out who put his name in the goblet.
“Are you alright?” Fred asked me.
“Yeah, I’m fine. I’m just worried for Harry”, I said with a reassuring smile.
“Ok. I was just wondering”, he replied.
“Hey Mad”, George said as he walked into the room with a love struck Brianna clinging on to his arm (A/N- if you didn’t remember, Brianna was Georges GF and also one of Maddy’s BFFs). “Let’s start heading down to the lake, shall we?” I said in a shaky voice as I put on my complementary fake smile.
Fred grabbed my hand in which I gave him a true smile. We walked out of the portrait hole and out of the castle. The walk wasn’t long. As soon as the lake came into view I reminisced a time not long ago when Malfoy showed emotion. I still hadn’t told anyone about that and I was planning for it to remain that way.
We walked up into the stands. I walked up to a very nervous Harry.
“Are you alright, little bro?” I asked as I placed a hand on his shoulder. Harry nervously nodded and put on a reassuring smile.
“Harry, you’re one of my best friends as well as my brother. I can’t stand to see you get hurt. Please promise you’ll be alright”, I said as I looked into his blue/green eyes.
“I’ll be fine. Everything will be okay, sis”, he stated.
“You better be careful. Remember to keep your eyes on the game. Don’t get distracted. These challenges are putting your life on the line”, I replied.
He nodded before putting something I heard Neville say was Gillyweed into his mouth. Soon the cannon blew and Harry jumped into the water. Actually, it was more “pushed by mad eye” than “jumped”. He stayed down in the water for a while. My heart raced. What if he’s dead? I thought as I constricted my grip of Fred’s hand.
Suddenly Harry jumped into the air yelling “YEAH”, before diving into the water.

It had been an hour. It turns out the task was to rescue someone that you cared about. An enchantment had been placed on these people so that they could go underwater and be unconscious and once brought to the surface of the water, they could breathe again.
As I said, it had been an hour and Harry hadn’t resurfaced with his person. I was getting anxious and nervous.
“Freddie, what if something has happened to him?” I asked fear stricken. But all of a sudden, Ron and Fleur’s sister resurfaced and were immediately pulled out of the freezing cold water. “Where’s Harry?” I asked in a panicked voice.
“He’s there”, Hermione said as she pointed towards the water. Harry was resurfacing from the lake. Almost all of the Hogwarts students and teachers cheered for Harry. A few of the Beauxbatons girls and a few of the Durmstrang boys clapped as well.
“Harry!” I yelled as I pulled him into a hug, “You’re alright!”
“I’m fine”, he said as he hugged me back.
“Attention! Attention! The winner is… Mr Diggory!” Dumbledore announced to the schools, “For showing unique command of the bubblehead shark. The way I see it, Mr Potter would have finished first had it not been for his determination to rescue not only Mr Weasley but the others as well. We've agreed to award him second place! For outstanding moral fibre”.
“Second place! Well done, Harry”, I cheered.
We all descended the stands and headed back to the castle.
“All that moral fibre eh?” Fred said to Harry as we walked back.
“Blimey, even when you go wrong it turns out right”, Ron remarked.
“Well done ‘moral fibre’”, George commented.
Harry went to talk to Mr Crouch as I continued to walk with Fred and George. I held on Fred’s hand.
“I’m so glad that he’s alright”, I said with a large smile.
“I know. So am I. I couldn’t stand to see you get hurt” He said before lightly kissing my forehead. I heard a soft awwwww from Ginny who was walking behind us. “Shut up Ginny”, Fred and I said at the same time followed by a laugh.

Soon we were at dinner and boy was I starving.
“I’m so hungry”, I complained as the plates starting filling up with food. Tonight was roast barbeque chicken, hot chips and Caesar salad. I put a mountain of food on my plate and starting eating immediately.
“Babe, I think you’re absolutely gorgeous but right now you look like a pig”, Fred commented as I shovelled another spoonful of food into my mouth.
I quickly swallowed before saying, “I’m soooo hungry though”.
“Alright then”, he chuckled and started to eat.
Pretty soon I was finished, as was everyone else. It was now time for dessert. Dessert was vanilla ice cream and on the table there were several bottles of topping. I immediately looked at the toppings. There was blue raspberry, chocolate, strawberry, caramel, apple, bubble gum and peanut butter. I served myself a massive bowl of ice cream and then put on tons and tons of peanut butter topping (A/N- Sorry if you don’t like peanut butter or are allergic to peanuts).
“Would you like some ice cream with your peanut butter topping?” Fred asked sarcastically.
“Ha ha, very funny”, I replied sardonically.
Once we had all finished I went to bed. All of that food had made me sleepy!
