Y/N POV

February eventually came around and the second task was the next day. Hermione has been helping me loads about it on how to breathe underwater, along with snogging me occasionally. We found out something about the Bubble-head charms, which Professor Flitwick had taught us privately about and Newt gave us some spare Gillyweed.

"This should allow you to breathe underwater," he said. "I've used some for my Kelpie, never know when you need Gillyweed."

Hermione, Lana, Harry and I were in the Library, but Harry was actually reading for once. We didn't get the chance to tell him, so he continued to read and speak his mind. Luna was also there to talk and comfort us.

"Potentially problematic?" He asked. "When was the last time you held your breath under the water for a hour?"

As he continued to study, Mad-Eye walked in the library and toward us. "Hate to break up this scholar session but Professor McGonagall would like to see you in her office."

We all stood up as Mad-eye outstretched his hand and waved it to gesture us to remain seated. "Not all of you, just Weasley, Granger, and the younger Lovegood."

Hermione and I looked at each other and looked back at Moody. "But sir," Hermione said. "The second task is only hours away and..."

"Exactly." Mad-Eye said. "Presumably Potter and the Lovegoods are well prepared by now and could do with a good night's sleep..."

"Can I at least talk to Y/N in private?" She asked.

"Make it quick!"

Hermione took my hand and pulled me away from the others where we were just alone. She wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me deeply as I kissed her back and hugged her close to me. As we let go of each other to breathe, she placed her forehead on mine and said, "You're gonna do great. I know it, babe."

I smiled at her as she giggled. "I'll save you," I said to her. "I told you last year, I'll always be there to save you. I love you so much, 'Mione."

"I love you more," Hermione said as she kissed me again. "See you soon, Love." She kissed me one more time, squeezed my hand and left with Ron, Luna and Mad-Eye.

After they left, Harry, Lana and I kept studying in the library. Hermione's words were echoing in my head, they were all I could think about.

Unfortunately, we all fell asleep in the library and drifted off into our dreams.

And it came back again. Those damn nightmares.

It was exactly what I saw last year when I touched the crystal ball on accident. I was in the graveyard again, with Harry, Lana and Cedric, but things felt different this time. I now wore another ring on my right hand, next to the Map ring Hermione got for my birthday, but it was silver and had a bluish stone in it. From a distance, I thought I saw Lana wearing one that looked the same. Things played out exactly how it should have from the last time

"KILL THE SPARE!" The same voice cried out.

"Avada Kedavra!" The other voice said as the green bolt hit Cedric square in the chest and killed him as Harry cried out, "Cedric!"

As the figure walked out, they had revealed themselves to be the traitor himself, Peter Pettigrew, otherwise known as Wormtail, holding an ugly baby-thing in his hand.

"The Twins are here too?" The thing asked. "Good, Roiser would like to torture them. But prepare them for it, servant."

He spat that last word like it was vermin as Wormtail responded and yelled, "CRUCIO!" towards me and Lana. As it hit us, we both fell in pain as white-hot pain shot through our bodies. It felt exactly how Voldemort hurt Harry and I in first year. But I felt poking as well.

I'm pretty sure that 'Crucio' doesn't cause poking.

"Y/N Lovegood must wake up!" A voice said.

"Stop -- please ---," I moaned in pain.

"Harry Potter, Y/N Lovegood, and Lana Lovegood must wake up, sir!" The voice cried. "They must wake up!"

"Please stop!"

"Dobby must poke you, sir! You must wake up!"

What the hell?!

"Dobby?" I asked as I shot up and found the house-elf next to me. Harry and Lana had woken up as well as Harry adjusted his glasses.

"You need to hurry!" Dobby cried. "The second task starts in ten minutes, and you --"

"Ten minutes!?!" Lana and I said. I looked down at my watch, Dobby was right, it's 9:20.

"Hurry, Harry Potter!" Dobby addressed him. "You is supposed to be down by the lake with the other champions, sir!"

"It's too late, Dobby," Harry said. "I'm not doing the task, I don't know how -"

"Harry Potter will do the task!" Dobby cried once more. "Dobby knew Harry had not found the right book, so Dobby did it for him!"

"What?" said Harry. "But you don't know what the second task is -"

"Dobby knows, sir! Harry Potter has to go into the lake and find his Wheezy -"

"Find my what?"

"- and take his Wheezy back from the merpeople!"

"What's a Wheezy?"

"Your Wheezy, sir, your Wheezy - Wheezy who is giving Dobby his sweater!"

"He means Ron!" I said to him. "Wheezy means 'Weasley'!"

"What?" He said. "They've got Ron?"

"Who else would they take?" Lana said.

"Which means we were right!" I said. "Luna for you, Hermione for me."

"You has to eat this, sir!" Dobby said as he shoved some Gillyweed into his man. "Newt Scamander had given some to Dobby, so Dobby gives it to Harry Potter!"

"What's it do?" Harry asked as we prepared.

"It will make Harry Potter breathe underwater, sir!" Dobby said. "Is Y/N and Lana Lovegood needing of Gillyweed?"

"No, thank you, Dobby," Lana said politely. "We already got some from Newt too."

"Dobby..." Harry asked. "Are you sure about this?"

"Dobby is quite sure, sir!" Dobby said. "Dobby hears things, sir, he is a house-elf, he goes all over the castle as he lights the fires and mops the floors. Dobby heard Professor McGonagall and Professor Moody in the staffroom, talking about the next task. . . . Dobby cannot let Harry Potter lose his Wheezy!"

I had magically changed into the swimsuit I need and Lana had magically changed into hers as well, but wore her coat over it. Harry had gotten all his things and rushed out with us, with Dobby coming with us. "Dobby is supposed to be in the kitchens, sir!" Dobby said. "Dobby will be missed - good luck, Harry Potter, Y/N and Lana Lovegood, sirs and ma'am, good luck!"

"See you later, Dobby!" Harry shouted as we all rushed to the Black Lake.

Lana POV

As we arrived at the Black Lake, Fleur was the first to greet us along with Cedric, but Krum glared at us, which made Y/N and I to causally flip him off. Cedric managed to intentionally bump into Krum and even glared at him too. And with a kind of scary one. Cedric actually looked like he wanted to kill him.

(A/N: Flashbacks to Batman beating the crap out of that one guy...)

"Where have you been?" Percy Weasley said. Wait, Percy?! "The task's about to start!"

"Now, now, Percy!" Bagman said. "Let them catch their breath!"

Dumbledore smiled at us, Maxime did a small one and Karkaroff glared like Krum. Y/N's right eye glowed at Karkaroff as he said, "Let's get this over with, alright?" Since everyone now knew about us, there was a mix of cheers and boos, the boos coming from Durmstrang and the Slytherins.

"You all know what you're gonna do?" Bagman asked us.

"Yeah," We all said.

"Good!" Bagman smiled as he looked at Y/N and I. "And you two, don't let that lot get you down. It doesn't matter who you are, what matters is that you're good people; I've seen it firsthand."

"Thank you, Mr. Bagman," Y/N said to him.

"Now," He said as he rubbed his hands with his wand in one of them. "Let's begin! To your places!" He put his wand towards his mouth and muttered, "Sonorus..."

(A/N: Y/N and Lana are in between Cedric and Harry.)

"Well, all our champions are ready for the second task, which will start on my whistle." Bagman announced to the crowd. "They have precisely an hour to recover what has been taken from them. On the count of three, then. One . . . two . . . three!"

He whistled as we cast the Bubble-head charm and Harry consumed his Gillyweed and we jumped into the water. We swam into the water until I heard a scream from my right.

"The Beauxbatons Champion, Miss Delacour has unfortunately been forced to retire," Mr. Bagman said. "She will take no further part in this task."

I felt bad for Fleur, now who's gonna save Gabrielle?

As I mentioned her, I noticed her and a couple others tied in place. Y/N and I were right about the other victims as well.

Hermione Granger.

Ron Weasley.

Cho Chang.

Gabrielle Delacour.

Clara Cartier.

And Luna Lovegood.

I swam towards Luna, took out my wand and muttered, "Diffindo" but before I could I was pushed aside by another spell, sent by none other than Viktor bloody Krum, who looked like a shark. I was pissed he was still trying, so I muttered a few words as another spell hit Krum. As I did, Cedric came around, freed Cho, gave a thumbs-up to me and swam up to the surface.

I thought about it for a few seconds and decided on it. I freed Luna from her bonds and then went for Gabrielle, but before I could, a merperson came toward me and pointed their spear. "Only one." They said.

"You can't leave her down here!" I said. "She's too young!"

"Only one." They repeated.

Y/N had freed Hermione and I took Luna, hopefully we can come back for Gabrielle. We emerged from the surface as Harry came with Ron and Krum did with Clara, but Clara actually slapped him as they got to shore.

"Y/N!" Hermione said as she gasped for air.

"It's okay, it's okay!" He said. "I'm here, don't worry." He then swam back as Hermione climbed onto the boardwalk and held out her hand to Y/N, but he stayed in the water.

"I'm sorry, 'Mione," He said. "Gabrielle's down there, and Fleur didn't get her in time. I have to go back."

Hermione gave him a sad look. "She's still down there?" She asked him as I got Luna up and stayed in the water. "Okay, just... come back to me. I love you." She whispered as she brought her forehead to his.

"I love you too, sweetheart," Y/N said to her as Harry, him and I dived back down.

We approached Gabrielle as more merpeople surrounded us. I guarded the boys as they began to break the bonds. Eventually, they broke her out and I managed to get the merpeople away as we came back to the surface and put Gabrielle on the board and Fleur came to her sister.

"You saved her!" Fleur said to us. "Even though she wasn't yours to save... My little sister. She kissed Harry on the face, Y/N's forehead and hugged me as Hermione came to us with towels.

"Are you three alright now?" She asked as she handed the towels, ending at Y/N to put his on him. "You must be freezing! Personally, I think you behaved admirably." She kissed Y/N's temple as she put the towel on him.

"Hermione, there's a beetle in your hair," Y/N said to her as she tried to wave it out, but he pulled it out for her.

"Well, since we went back for Gabrielle," I said. "We all end up last."

"Next to last," Hermione corrected.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have reached our decision. Merchieftainess Murcus has told us exactly what happened at the bottom of the lake," Bagman said with his altered voice. "and we have therefore decided to award marks out of fifty for each of the champions, as follows. . . ."

"Fleur Delacour, though she demonstrated excellent use of the Bubble-Head Charm, was attacked by grindylows as she approached her goal, and failed to retrieve her hostage. We award her twenty-five points."

"I deserved zero," Fleur said to us as I patted her on the back.

"Cedric Diggory, who also used the Bubble-Head Charm, was first to return with his hostage, though he returned one minute outside the time limit of an hour. We therefore award him forty-seven points."

Harry gasped for a moment as he heard Cedric's score.

"Viktor Krum used an incomplete form of Transfiguration, which was nevertheless effective, and was last to return with his hostage. However, he did attack another champion with no motive or reason to. We award him thirty-two points."

Karkaroff looked proud for no reason and Krum clapped for himself, even though he lost points for attaacking me .

"Y/N And Lana Lovegood were able to use the Bubble-Head charm to great effect and rescued their champions. As for Harry Potter, he had used Gillyweed to great effect, but all three arrived out of the time frame." Bagman said. "However, the Merchieftainess informs us that Mr. Potter was first to reach the hostages, and that the delay in his return was due to his determination to return all hostages to safety, not merely his own along with help from the other Hogwarts champions."

Ron, Hermione and Luna looked at us as we continued to listen.

"Most of the judges," Bagman said as he eyed Karkaroff. "feel that this shows moral fiber and merits full marks. However . . . Mr. Potter, Mr. Lovegood,and Miss Lovegood's score is forty-five points."

Oh my goodness.

We're tied with Cedric!

Hermione and Ron cheered for us as Hermione hugged my brother and snuck in a tiny peck on his lips when no-one was looking. Krum didn't look amused, but Fleur was congratulating us. Krum was about to approach Hermione, but surprisingly, she told him to piss off as Y/N flipped him off again.

"The third and final task will take place at dusk on the twenty fourth of June," Bagman bellowed. "The champions will be notified of what is coming precisely one month beforehand. Thank you all for your support of the champions."

"I'm gonna buy Dobby a pair of socks for every day of the year!" Harry said with happiness.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the task, Dumbledore asked to meet both of us in his office and told us he had to talk to us. We had dried off and bidded everyone goodbye as we headed there. Before Y/N went, he kissed Hermione in private as she carried Snuffles, fully embracing the mother persona since they are dating now.

"I'll be back soon, I promise," He said to her as she embraced him in a hug.

"Stay safe, please for my sake," Hermione said to him. "I love you."

"I love you too," He said as he held her close and Snuffles chirped at him. "Hey, buddy, I didn't forget about you" he said. "Don't worry, I'll be back in a few minutes. Mummy and I will be with you soon. I love you both."

Hermione smiled widely as she kissed him again. "Come back soon, Love. I don't know if I can handle Ron's bluffing around for a long time."

"Oh, don't worry," Y/N chuckled. "I think they might call his bluff, Love. I'll see you soon."

He planted a small kiss on her nose before he left and joined me. I smiled at him. "You really love her, don't you?" I asked him.

"Yeah, I do," He said as we walked to Dumbledore's office. "I love her so much. I still can't believe she feels the same!"

"That's good, I suppose..." I said to him.

"Lana... is everything okay?"

"I don't really know... I'm happy for the both of you, I really am." I said to him. "But I want to know if I'll have something like how you and Hermione have."

"Oh, sis, I'm sorry..." He said sympathetically. "I almost forgot you have a thing for Ron, but you will have something like that one day, alright? If Ron can't see it now, then he's a bigger idiot than I thought he was. Cause you, Lana, are worth it. You will have that someday, I promise you."

"You really think so?" I asked him.

"I know so, sis." he said kindly. "You told me you care about my happiness, and I care about yours."

I hugged him tight as he finished that sentence. "Thank you so much, Y/N. You're the best brother ever."

"I'm your only brother," He chuckled. "And your twin at that. Love you." He said as he returned it and kissed my head.

"I love you too, bro." I said. "Let's see what Dumbledore wants to talk to us about."

As we arrived at his office, we said the password, which was still Sherbet Lemon and found Dumbledore standing in front with a case on his desk.

"Ahh, Y/N, Lana, good to see you again and unharmed, might I add," Dumbledore said. "And Y/N, congratulations on your relationship with Miss Granger."

Y/N looked surprised. "How did you know--"

"Being the headmaster as it's perks," Dumbledore said. "Besides, you and Miss Granger are quite smitten with each other. But I do have something to give you both."

He ushered us to the box as he opened it. Inside laid a ring, which I recognized from the nightmare I (and I'm pretty sure Y/n had it too) had before Dobby woke us up.

"This is a creation of your grandfather's," Dumbledore said. "I'm sure you have used a Portkey before, yes?" We both nodded to his question.

"This is a Portkey as well," Dumbledore said. "But this is very different from a normal Portkey. Do you know how one operates?"

"They go on a certain time to a certain place," I said. "What's so special about this one?"

"This is what Gellert called, 'an unlimited Portkey'," Dumbledore acknowledged. "It does not require time nor place to travel, it depends on where it's user, or in this case, users wish to go."

"Why do you say users?" Y/N asked. "There's only one ring."

"There's where I come in," Dumbledore said as he reached for his wand ( a quite unique one, as it looked like there were beads of different sizes on it) and muttered, "Geminio." Suddenly the ring and it's box duplicated, making both the exact same as the other.

"Now, put the rings on," Dumbledore instructed. "And think of a certain position in this room you would want to be in. And you will find yourself there in seconds. I slipped on my ring as Y/N did the same and thought about what Dumbledore said. I thought about appearing near one of the portraits in the offices and I heard a "Swish" and suddenly I found myself there.

(A/N: Five teleporting for reference for the unlimited Portkey.)

"Woah," I heard Y/N from another corner, different from where he was before. "That's wicked. But why did you want to give us there, grandfather?"

"I cannot reveal any details," Dumbledore said. "But it is for the third task. I had a feeling it may be handy. I trust your training with Newt and Tina is going well?"
"Of course, grandfather," I said. "They've been teaching us a lot recently."

"Good, then," Dumbledore smiled at the both of us. "Now, I believe you would like to get back to your common rooms with your friends, yes?" We nodded once more. "Very well then. I shall see you soon." He dismissed us and we left back for our Common Rooms. Y/N walked me back to the Ravenclaw Tower, where Luna was waiting for me. Before we went in, Luna and I hugged Y/N as he bid us goodbye and to take care. He ruffled Luna's hair a little as she giggled and hugged him again. I guess she really does like to see us as her siblings, which made me smile.

I looked down at my ring as I remembered it from my dream. Y/N had already known since we had them at the same time and he could read my mind too. But one thing stuck out to me.

Who was Roiser?

Hermione POV

I waited for Y/N to come back as I sat on the couch alone in the Common Room. Ron and Harry went out for a while talking about Krum and how they don't like him anymore so I was all by my lonesome.

Well, I wasn't really alone. Snuffles, Snowball and Crookshanks were there with me. Snuffles was resting next to me as I read a book while Snowball and Crookshanks were playing with a toy. Snowball did eventually get tired and went into Y/N's room as Crookshanks slept on the floor.

Soon enough, Y/N came through the portrait as I beamed at him and he walked to me.

"Hey, were you waiting for me?" He asked me as he sat down.

"Yeah, I was waiting for my cute boyfriend," I said as I got closer to him. "How was it with Dumbledore?"

"He knows about us for one thing," He said to me, as I nearly fell. "Oh, don't worry, I don't really think he'll tell anyone."

"Alright then," I said as I noticed the ring on his finger next to the one I gave him. "Where did you get that ring from?"

"Oh, it was Gellert's," Y/N said. "That's why he called us, to give us this. He said he had a feeling that we'd need it because Gellert charmed it as a more advanced Portkey."

"How- what does that mean?" I asked.

"I'll show you..." He said as he stood up. He then closed his eyes and with a swish, he was no longer there. Moments later, I saw a flicker as Y/N reappeared near the Boy's dorms. With another flicker, he was back in front of me. "Pretty cool, isn't it?"

"That is pretty amazing, yeah!" I said to him as his face changed to one of more concern. "Hey, is everything okay?" I asked as I put my hands at his cheeks. "I haven't seen you looking like this since.... Since my house. It's those nightmares, isn't it?"

He nodded. "Yeah, I had another one before the task." He said. "But this time, Lana and I were tortured with the Cruciatus Curse. Man, now I know how Neville feels about that topic." I gasped and hugged him.

"Are you gonna be okay?" I asked him. "Why did you mention Neville?"

"It's a little sensitive for him, that's why he was bothered in DATDA," He said. "His parents were tortured into insanity by Death Eaters. I don't know if I'll be okay after that experience."

"You will be," I said to him. "Cause this time, I'm here. Not just as your best friend, but as someone that loves you. Your girlfriend." I then pulled him closer to me as I kissed him and he did the same. I separated from him and asked, "Do you want me to be there with you when you sleep tonight?"

"I mean..." He said nervously. "If you want to... I know we're dating but still getting used to it being different now."

"I know, Love," I said as I kissed him again. "At least we're going through it together."

"Yeah, you're right, Love," Y/N said. "At least we're going through it together. I love you so much."

"I love you too." I giggled as he nuzzled into my face.

"You want to go to my dorm then?" He asked. "Good thing none of the dorms are shared now so more privacy, I suppose?

"Sounds good with me," I said as I scooped up Snuffles and stretched Crookshanks' fur. "Let's go."

We spent hours on end talking to each other and snogging tons. We even talked about some dates we could go on in the Muggle World. Since Y/N hasn't experienced Muggle life, I thought it would be nice to show him. Soon enough I felt tired so I laid down on the bed next to him. "Good night, Love." I said to him as he laid down next to me. "I love you."

"I love you too, 'Mione." He said as he kissed me. "Good night." Snuffles then ran into the bed and looked at us both. Y/N pulled the sheet up for Snuffles as he slipped in, which made me giggle. I took Snuffles in my arms as I got closer and slowly drifted in sleep next to my boyfriend.
