Chapter 1
“So, the second task is tomorrow, how’re you feeling about it?” You and Cedric are sitting in the common room, studying the night before the second task. “I mean, I totally killed the first one, so I’ll be just fine.” Cedric joked. “Oh my Merlin Cedric you’re such an idiot! Now be quiet and let me study!” you laugh, throwing a balled-up piece of paper in his direction. He catches it with ease and throws it back at you, hitting you in the head. “Sometimes I think you forget I’m a seeker, I’m trained to catch,” Cedric laughs, rolling his eyes mockingly at you. “Right, now let me study!” you laugh. “Fine, fine.” You hear someone walk into the common room, and it was getting late, so you were confused. You see a fourth year and before you can say anything, she says “Y/n Potter? Professor McGonagal wants to see you in her office.” “I- ok.” you say, really confused. What would McGonagal want with you? You’re a Hufflepuff, she’s head of Gryffindor. “Y/n? Wh-” Cedric starts to say. “It’ll be fine Ced, I’ll be back.” you interrupted, and followed the girl out the common room door. You walk into McGonagal’s office and see Ron, Hermione and a young girl, who looks to be about eleven years old, with a long sheet of golden blond hair and light blue eyes all sat in front of her desk. You slot yourself into the empty chair beside Hermione and look up at McGonagal. You guess the young girl is a younger sister of Fleur. You realise what’s going on mere seconds before McGonagal explains. “As you may, or may not know, the second task of the Triwizard Tournament involves the contestants diving into the black lake to retrieve a beloved object. From the information provided, you possibly could be able to guess what you are here for. You are the treasured possession the champions will be retrieving. Mr Weasley, your champion is Mr Harry Potter, Miss Granger, yours is Mr Viktor Krum, Miss Delacour, yours is Miss Fleur Delacour, and Miss Potter, yours is Mr Cedric Diggory.” You nod when your name is called. “But Professor, how will we be able to stay under the water for that long? Won’t we drown?” the young girl asks, and you, Ron and Hermione nod your heads. “Don’t worry, we won’t let that happen, we’ve prepared a potion that allows you to breathe under the water, but you will be asleep for all of it. In the next couple of minutes we’ll bring you down to the lake, give you the potion, and you will wake up as soon as you reach the surface.” McGonagal leaves the room, probably to go get Dumbledore. Ron and Hermione turn to each other, and you notice that the young girl, who you’re sure is a younger sister of Fleur, looks really nervous. “Hey, are you alright?” you ask her. She continues staring at her feet, but nods. “My name’s Y/n, what’s yours?” “Gabrielle” she says quietly. You smile at her, and then see McGonagal walk back into the room, Dumbledore right beside her. Dumbledore explains exactly what will happen, but you zone out half way through, and before you know it, you’re down by the black lake, with a gross looking potion in hand. “1, 2, 3 and drink!” You block your nose and drink, and feel yourself falling asleep, and all of a sudden, it all goes black.
