The Great Hall..........
Breakfast time.........
I sat with Fred and George, yawning. "I figured out the egg." I told them.
"What do you have to?" Fred asked.
"I have to figure out how to breath underwater for at least an hour before the task." I sighed.
"How much sleep did you get last night?" He asked.
"Not much, I had another nightmare last night." I told them.
"What was it about?" George asked.
"Cedric's death." I whispered.
"I'm sorry, Ath." Fred sighed.
"I thought you were taking that potion for the nightmares." George said.
"I am. I think that the closer I get to the event the stronger the nightmare gets." I guessed.
"Anyway, we have everything we need for the thing tonight the 'gift' will last seven hours, and the sugar will last for 30 min. The custard will work once the food appears and after the thirty min we will make it crack." Fred explained in a hushed voice. Then Draco came over and sat down next to me.
"What's wrong?" I asked my cousin.
"A Hogwarts student, asked Samara to the Yule Ball." He told me.
On way to Hogsmead with Heromine and Ginny.............
"So, Athens, have you figured out the egg yet?" Heromine asked.
"Yes, I figured it out last night." I told her.
"Harry, hasn't started it yet, he is still looking for a date to the Yule Ball." She told me.
"So, Heromine, who asked you to the Yule Ball?" I asked her.
"You can't tell the boys but Viktor Krum." Heromine smiled, "What about you Ginny?"
"Neville asked me." Ginny smiled, "And we don't have to ask who your going with, Athens"
"Yes, cause when we found out about the Yule Ball one of the first things Fred did was ask me." I smiled.
"I hope next year we have a least exciting year." Heromine sighed.
"I won't be here next year." I admitted to them.
"Why not?" Ginny asked.
"Dumbledore wants to graduate me this year so that I can focus on my prophecy." I admitted.
"I guess he has good reason to. You are tied with me in all your classes and you are very powerful." Heromine shrugged.
"The main issue is that while I am gone I can't really contact anyone, not even Fred and George." I sighed.
"This is off subject but who in Hogwarts would ask out the girl who murdered her sister, a Hogwarts student." Ginny sighed.
"No clue, but that right there is an act of betrayal. Especially if it ends up being a Slytherin." Heromine looked down.
"Anyway, Fred told us you already got your dress." Ginny told me.
"Yes, he hasn't seen it yet. I want to surprise him. Fred just insisted I go with you becuase I have been trying to figure out the egg for a week amd he wants me to have fun and relax." I explained.
"How did you unlock the mystery of the egg?" Heromine asked, I knew she would tell Harry but I didn't care.
"You have to listen to it under water." I explained. That day was fun. I helped Ginny and Heromine pick out there dresses and afterwards we went and got Butterbeer.
The Great Hall..........
Dinner Time.............
I sat with Draco like I did everytime for dinner and Fred and George were sitting in their normal spots it was almost time for desert and I looked over at my sister and our delivery boy just gave her the box. She ate one and then it was time for dessert. Everyone began to act weird and Samara had giant zits growing on her face and custard poes were flying at everyone except Draco, Fred, George, the teachers and I. Everyone was acting like a chicken. "Mr. Weasley, Mr. Weasley, Mr.Malfoy and Ms. Riddle!" Professer McGonagall yelled.
"Yes, Professer." I smiled.
"That was funny BUT you all have detention for a week! You four will be cleaning every trophy in the trophy room WITHOUT magic." She told us, "Now when does this wear off?"
"My sister's zits will wear off in seven hours but the rest will be thirty minutes." I shrugged. After thirty minites it wore off and the fireworks exploded.
"ATHENS BERTHA RIDDLE!" Samara shouted as she walked angrily towards me.
"SAMARA DEAN RIDDLE!" I shouted back.
"How dare you do this to me!" She shouted at me.
"Call it revenge for killing AND torturing me." I told her.
"Like you haven't tried to kill me." She sassed.
"At least I didn't kill two house elves and a cat!" I argued.
"I was young I didn't know any better!" She argued.
"You almost killed Draco!"
"That was an accident!"
"Really, becuase if I remember correctly you tried to kill him with a paper weight!"
"I was five!"
"Don't forget about the three times you tried to kill me and the one time you actually did!"
"Oh, get over it Athens! That's the past!"
"You bloody killed me how the hell am I supposed to forget that!"
"When is this supposed to wear off!"
"In seven hours!"
"You bitch!" Samara then swung at me and I dodged it.
"Knock it off!" Draco said. Fred held me back before I could attack her back and a teacher stepped in to hold Samara back. Then I realized we just had that argument in front of EVERYONE.
The Yule Ball.......
I was in the Dorm putting my dress on, I left my black hair down and put on black heels. They were not very high heels but comfortable enough were I can dance in.
(Her dress, Ik I don't usally do this and I don't like to do this but I didn't know how to describe this. Sooooooooo, back to the story.)
I went to meet Fred, George was with his date. We met outside were the Ball was happening. "Bloody hell, Athens." Fred looked at me, shocked, "You look stunning."
"And you look very handsome, Fred." I smiled at him. He quickly kissed me on my lips and then I saw Heromine walk down the stairs in her dress.
"There you are Ms. Riddle. Are you and Mr. Weasley ready?" She asked.
"Ready to what, if I may ask?" I asked.
"To dance, of course. It's traditional that the three champions or in this case four are the first to dance. Surely I told you that. " She told meand I almost had a slight panic attack. Only the Slytherin house is one thing but in front of everyone. Merlin's beard.
"No, you didn't Professer." I told her.
"Oh, well now you know." She said them leaving.
"Well we might want to get ready to dance." I sighed.
"What's wrong, Athens?" Fred asked.
"I rarely dance, I am a good dancer but I get easily embrassed when I dance." I admitted.
"You will be with me the whole time. It will be fine, I promise you." He promised then I saw my sister with Crabbe. Then we walked into the hall my hand was in the crease of Fred's arm as he escorted me to the dance floor. He took my waist and I put my hand on his shoulder then our other hands held on to each other. The music began and we started dancing. Fred was right every thing was going to be fine. Soon everybody joins in inculding Filch and his cat. It was a very good night. Eventually we left the hall sometime after the Weird Sisters came on to stage. We may or may not have snogged in an empty class room. This was probably going to be the best night of my life untill this war is over.
The Great Hall.........
Breakfast.................
Day Of Second Task.
"So how are you going to breath under water for an hour?" Fred asked over his plate of pancakes.
"Gilliweed. I obtained some from Neville." I shrugged.
"Mr. Weasley?" Professer McGonagall asked.
"Which one?" The twins said at the same time.
"Fred." She said, "Professer Dumbledore would like to see you in his office."
"I'll see you before the task." Fred smiled then leaving with Professer McGonagall.
"What do you think he did?" George asked.
"Dumbledore is probably asking about how much he knows about my situation but who knows?" I told my best friend.
The Second Task............
"Have you seen Fred?" I asked George.
"No, I thought he was with you." George replied.
"I thought he was with you." I told him. Then it clicked. "Bloody hell."
"What is it Athens?" He asked.
"I know fully what the task is now." I smiled. "The egg said 'An hour long you'll have to look, to recover what we took'. They are using Fred for the second task!" George and I got on a boat to go to the platform. When we got there I stood where I needed to stand and I put the Gillyweed in my mouth.
"Welcome to the second task. Last night something was stolen from each of our champions. A treasure of sorts. These five treasures, one for each champion, now lie on the bottom of the black lake. In order to win each champion need only find their treasure and return to the surface. Simple enough. Except for this, they will have one hour to do so and one hour only. After that they'll be on their own." Dumbledore said over a loud speaker. "You may begin at the start of the cannon." Then the canon fires and I dive down, I was chocking for a minute then it was fine. I quickly swan looking for Fred when I fianlly got to him. There was Fred, Ron, Heromine, Crabbe, and Cho. I instantly freed Fred. Harry and Viktor were behind me. I dragged Fred to the surface being the first one done.
"Fred! Are you okay?" I asked him.
"I'm fine now." He smiled at me as I climbed out of the lake. They instantly put towels over Fred and I. I got done in 45 minutes. I sat there watching the lake I didn't even really listen to what Dumbledore was saying untill he said, "Ms.Riddle wins!" Then I blocked out the rest. That day there was a celebration in the Slytherin common room it was for me but I didn't go. My head was hurting so I was sitting in the Room of Requirement. I wrote the same note three times.
Meet me in the seventh floor at noon tomorrow. Champions meeting WITHOUT Samara.
-Athens.
When I finished writing those I wrote my farewell for now letters. One to Fred, one for George, one for Harry and one for Sirius. After that I went to the owlry and sent the notes tonthe champions that should be there today and we will meet tomorrow.
