The second task was finally starting. I quickly changed into shorts and a t-shirt placing the gillyweed in my pocket. I was waiting at the edge of black lake along with the rest of the champions and all of Hogwarts behind us. I looked around and there was still see no sign of Hermione. I have been asking around but no one has seen her, it worries me. She wouldn't miss this....so clearly something has happened to her.

"Line up!" Someone yells through the speakers

I lined up next to Cedric who looked just as nervous as i am. I grabbed some gillyweed and placed it in my mouth. I nearly spit it out, it was absolutely disgusting. Just as the bell rang i started to feel something growing on the side of my neck. I jumped in the water and begun swimming down towards the large group of grindylows. As i easily swam through them, I looked down at my feet and noticed flippers have grown. And on my neck....gills?

Way to go Neville, i made a mental note to myself to thank him again.

Just stuff started shooting at me from the bottom of the ocean. I had no idea where they were coming from. I quickly dodge all of them and began swimming past the rest of the obstacles. As i swam forward i could see something in the near distance. I took a closer look to see some people tied up with chains at the bottom of the ocean. As i swam even closer i recognized one of the people as Hermione.

HERMIONE! I swam faster towards her to also see Cho, this little blond girl, and the same girl Viktor took to the dance. I realized there was someone for everyone to save. I swam over quickly removing the chains around her. I looked over to see both Viktor and Cedric have also done the same as i did, they both swam away with there valubles. As i grabbed Hermione i realized that Fleur isn't here? She must have left the round or something, i couldn't just leave the girl. I swam over to the little girl but then the mermen started to surround me.

"Just one" One of them tells me, i pulled out my wand and preform a few spells

"Stupefy!" I end up stunning one of them

I unchained the little girl and grabbed her along with Hermione. I took both girls in my arms and started swimming to the surface but when I looked down i saw the mermen chasing after me. I grabbed both Hermione and the little girl in one arm and lifted my wand in the air. I performed the only spell i could think of and it shot me out of the water. I landed on the dock with both girls.

Both Hermione and the girl landed on top of me. I catched my breathe while trying to get the water out of my lungs.

"Harry potter saved them both!" The announcer yells causing everyone behind us to applaud.

Just then i get engulfed with hugs from Hermione as she wraps me in a towel. Fleur runs over to me and gives me a kiss on the cheek. The little girl was her sister.

"Mate that was a hell of of thing you did" Ron tells me landing next to me

"Thanks"

"The standings in Fleur in last place, Krum in third, and due to his success in saving more than one person, Harry is in second while Cedric takes the lead in first. Go Hogwarts!" The announcer yells

"You saved my sister. Thank you, she wasn't yours to save but you did anyways" Fleur says nearly crying wrapping her arms around her sister

"Harry your in second place!" Hermione yells hugging me once again

After the competition i got sent to Madame Pomfrey to make sure i didn't have hyperthermia or something.

"Well Mr.Potter you seem just fine, good thing you came up when you did. That gillyweed could have stopped working in a matter of minutes" Pomfrey says happily

I looked over to Hermione who had the biggest smile on her face.

"Harry I'm so glad that you're okay"

"So am I"

"Okay well if you feel dizzy or sick please come see me. Otherwise you two may leave....oh and great job today" She says sending us off.

Hermione and i ran back to the common room for awhile before dinner began, we took a seat on the couch as Hermione just got done telling me all about her meeting with Dumbledore. She actually agreed to be tied up with a chain at the bottom of the lake.

"I can't believe you were okay with being stuck at the bottom of the lake" I still had trouble grasping the idea of someone willing to do that

"I knew you would save me. You always do" She says smiling as she messes with her still wet hair. I wrapped a blanket around both of us since were still wet from being in the lake for so long.

"I was so worried this morning when i didn't see you. Professor Mcgonagall had to practically force me to sleep last night"

"Harry thank you for saving my life....really. I am so proud of you, you even saved that little girl when you didn't have to. You're so heroic and brave" She says tearing up a bit

"Hermione i will always be there for you no matter what. Even if i have to save you from a troll, werewolves or save you from the bottom of the ocean. Come to think of it i always have to save you" I joked

She hits me in the side and starts snuggling up to me.

"I love you" I whispered in her ear

"I love you too"

"Do you wanna sleep in my room tonight?" I asked her

"What about the guys?"

"Well we have been caught sleeping together twice now and nothing has happened. Plus we can shut the curtains around us and put on a silencing spell" I suggested

"That sounds perfect. I will go grab my night clothes and i will sneak up to your room later tonight" She whispers quickly getting up and heading up to her room.

Later that night after dinner....

It's nearly midnight and all of the guys are asleep. Hermione is meeting me here any minute. Just then i heard the door open. Hermione walked in dressed in my quidditch jersey and pair of short.

"I hope you don't mind. This is kinda like your reward for saving me" She says quietly walking up to my bed

I lifted up the covers and pulled her in with me. She laid her head on my chest as i wrapped my arms around her.

This was a great ending to and very terrible day.
