Harry's pov

Hermione and i have been looking through all the books in the library trying to find something to help me breathe underwater. We are sitting in my room still looking, but so far nothing. Hermione is starting to get frustrated, i have a feeling she could burst as any moment....

"Harry the second task is tomorrow and we haven't figured out anything! We don't even know what they are going to take away from you. I mean what are we supposed to do? How does everyone else already know what to do? I am supposed to be the smartest girl in our grade and i can't even figure out a spell so you can hold your breathe underwater!" She screams slamming the book down

"Hermione it's okay. Please calm down. Everything will be okay" I said calmly pulling her into a hug

"How can you be so sure?"

"Beacuse as your boyfriend, you should trust me. Besides i have faced worse and we still have hours before the task. I will go ask Cedric or something on how he plans on doing it. Now let's take a break for awhile?" I suggested

"Okay....so what were you planning?" She whispers leaning in, just as our lips are about to touch there is a knock at the door.

Knock knock

"Damn" I whisper to myself

I open the door to see Neville standing there looking rather happy.

"Hey Neville are you okay? Do you need me for something?" I ask only slightly irritated since he interrupted us.

"No. I just came to deliver a message to Hermione. Dumbledore wants to see you after dinner....alone"

"Why does he want to see me?" Hermione asks walking to the door

"I have no clue. He just told me to tell you that. Now Harry i think i might have something to help you with the whole breathing underwater thing" Neville says looking in a even more happier mood

"How do you know about that?" I'm a bit confused how he knew about the task, no one knew what we were supposed to do yet.

"It's called gillyweed. It allows you to breathe underwater for at least an hour, i heard Hermione yelling about it and i thought i could help"

"Thank you!" Hermione says excitedly pushing past me and hugging Neville

"Yeah" Neville looks down a bit embarrassed at her action

"Thanks so much" I gave him a pat on the shoulder

He hands me a whole jar of it. He walks away awkwardly leaving Hermione and I.

"Oh Harry. This is so great!" She crashes her lips on mine catching me by surprise.

"Mmm....Hermione wait...." I tried to say but she kept on kissing me

"Sorry i got really happy. What were you going to say?" She asks stopping herself

"Why would Dumbledore want to see you after dinner?"

"No clue but it's probably nothing bad. I mean it's me were talking about" She says positively

"Okay. Speaking of dinner we might as well head down there" I said taking her hand in mine and leading her hand out of the common room and to the great hall.

We took our usual seats next to Ron and began talking about the second task, it was really great to be good friends again. Just then Professor Mcgonagall walked over to us and whispers something in Hermione's ear.

"Okay....Harry i will see you later. I need to go see headmaster Dumbledore now" Hermione says quietly

She has a worried look on her face as professor Mcgonagall walks away. She suddenly gets up and quickly walks out of the great hall. I looked to Ron who has the same worried expression as I do. I tried not to think about what she could be doing, but it was eating me up inside. After dinner i went straight to the common roon to wait for Hermione.

After a couple of hours she still hasn't come back yet. I am really nervous now, just as i got up to leave for my room, i heard the portrait door open. I eagarly turned around only to see Professor Mcgonagall walking into the common room.

"Is she okay? I haven't seen her for awhile and I'm worried" I quickly walked over to her

"Don't worry Mr.Potter....Ms.Granger would like you to know she is okay and you don't need to wait for her. All they are doing is talking. Now get some rest. You have big day tomorrow" Mcgonagall says smiling

I took her advise and went straight to my room. I felt better knowing that Hermione was alright, but i still wished to know where she went.

The next morning....

I walked down to the common room to see Hermione, but she isn't there? This is quite unusual since she always waits for me. I then walked up to her room and quietly opened the door hoping to avoid waking up the rest of the girls. I looked around her room but she wasn't there. Her bed hasn't even been slept in....Where could she be?

The night before....

Hermione's pov

"Ms.Granger I know you already know all about the second task....so i need a favor. I hope you will accept" Dumbledore says in a calm voice

"What do i need to do?"

"We need something valuble to Mr.Potter in order for it to be placed at the bottom of black lake, and the most valuble thing to him....is you" I am takin aback at first, i would never have considered myself that valuble

"Sir, if you don't mind me asking. Why would i be considered most valuable to him?"

"Ms.Granger....i may be old but I'm not blind. I can tell the connection you two have from miles away. There is something going on between you two.... i considered asking Mr.Weasley but i think you were the better choice" I can't help but blush slightly at his words

"Sir, did you ask any of the other champions friends to be bait?" I ask again

"Indeed. Don't worry you won't be harmed. We shall cast a sleeping spell on you and give you a potion that will protect you from the cold water....but the only thing is, that it won't last forever. I hope Mr.Potter will save you in time" He explains

"Harry will save me....i know he will. I will definitely help you out, but what of Harry? He will be upset if he doesn't see me there tomorrow with him" I tried to reason with him, i wanted to tell Harry about this.

"Everything will work out just fine. Now Professor Mcgonagall will take you to a private room with the others until tomorrow" He stands up and gestures me over to her

I turned around to see Professor Mcgonagall standing by some door in Dumbledore's office.

"I will tell Mr.Potter that you are okay. No doubt he is waiting up for you" She opens the door to the private room and I walked in.

I silently prayed that Harry will succeed tomorrow.
