Capítulo 26: Preparations and Second Tasks
"Hiya Hedwig," Harry grinned as he arrived at the owlery, he stroked his loyal owl and she happily leaned into his touch and playfully nibbled on his fingers. "how are you doing today girl?" Harry asked, he waited for her to respond which she did with a series of hoots. "That's nice, you're looking as beautiful as ever, I don't know how you're still single." Harry complimented, causing Hedwig to puff her chest out and straighten up. "I have an owl order letter for you girl, to the apothecary in Diagon Alley. Take your time on your way back here, there's no rush, you deserve to enjoy your flight for being such a hard working girl."
Hedwig hooted in agreement before Harry tied a letter to her, she lovingly tapped her forehead on his before she flew off.
"Yeah, what are you lot looking at?" Harry said in a challenging voice to the owls that were staring at him. "Yeah that's right," Harry huffed. "you fuckers are jealous that she like me more than you. Though when I say like I mean like owner and pet, no owl-o, and...why the fuck am I talking to you lot?" Harry said as he walked off. "Well...I knew I would go crazy eventually."
....
"Alright Dobby," Harry said a few days later. "I am off to go compete in the second task. Look after Selena and get the preparations ready."
"Yes Master Harry," Dobby nodded. "Dobby will get master Harry's rituals ready and look after Miss Selena."
"Good," Harry nodded. "Princess!" Harry called and Selena slithered towards him. "Daddy will be going and I'll be back later and then you and me are going to do that ritual together."
"Daddy," Selena said as Harry patted her on the head. "will it hurt?"
"No, it'll make you stronger and make it so that you can come with me whenever and wherever you want." Harry smiled.
....
Harry stood alongside the other champions, staring at the lake, as he arrived. Fleur stood on his left dressed in a rather impressive one piece while Krum and Cedric wore shorts and a vest. Harry arrived in shorts a shirt and shorts. The crowd were all shouting and screaming in excitement.
"You alright Fleur?" Harry asked.
"My sister...I couldn't find her...I think she's..." Fleur trailed off and pointed at the lake.
Harry's eyes widened in understanding, thanks to Fleur he was able to work out the egg and earn the clue. It was pretty simple, something important would be taken and they would have an hour to get them back.
Upon realising that something important of his would be taken Harry had double checked that all of his important possessions such as his cloak and firebolt were safely hidden away in the chamber. But now he realised that the clue was not referring to 'what' they would miss the most, rather 'who'.
With that being said Harry wondered who would be at the bottom of the lake for him, it couldn't be Sirius, he was still on the run. It couldn't be Fleur as she was competing alongside him.
If Dumbledore had placed Weasley or Granger down there for him then Harry would have just let them drown, consequences be dammed. It couldn't be Selena or Dobby as Harry had just seen the two before he came here. Ginny seemed like a possibility, Harry looked into the crowd and saw her almost instantly so he realised that she was not it.
With that Harry realised that the only other people he really gave a damn about in this school were the chasers, he looked around and found Katie and after a few moments saw Alicia as well but he saw no sign of Angelina.
He growled as he realised that she was who they took, the chasers were the closest things that Harry had to sisters, the three had stood by him through out all of his years at Hogwarts and he'd be dammed if he let them get hurt.
"Remember our plan?" Harry asked Fleur. Fleur paused but nodded, the had discussed a plan together for the second task about a week before and spent the week working on their plan while also working on their own individual plans in case either of them decide to go solo.
Ludo Bagman began explaining the task but Harry paid him no attention and simply removed his shirt.
At this point those around him and the crowds took in a good look at Harry's body. He had put on a lot of muscle and while he was not a person with particularly large muscles like Krum, he still had a very impressive and defined body complete with abs leading to an impressive v-cut. Those close by or in a position to see would have noticed the scar on his arm where the basilisk had bitten him.
"Three," Ludo began counting down. Harry quickly pulled out his wand. "two...one...go!"
Harry waved his wand a couple of times and a boat appeared. Harry nodded to Fleur and the two got into the boat, Krum on the other hand had opted for self transfiguration and turned his head into a shark while Cedric went for the rather simple bubble charm. The two champions jumped in while Harry tapped the boat and it began moving.
Fleur used a point me spell to find the hostages while Harry cast charms to try and find them. After a few minutes Fleur's spell eventually stopped pointing straight and pointed downwards.
"I guess here is where we get off." Harry said as he tapped the boat, causing it to stop. He and Fleur cast a bubblehead charm and warming charms on themselves before they both jumped off the boat and into the water, the two swam down until they eventually reached the hostages.
There was, naturally, four hostages. Harry didn't recognise one of them, she was a small and young girl and judging by her looks Harry assumed she was Fleur's sister Gabrielle.
Harry saw Cho Chang and realised that she was Cedric Diggory's hostage, Harry also saw Hermione Granger which surprised him. Harry briefly wondered what drugs Dumbledore must have been on to even consider putting Hermione as his hostage, though after a second he remembered that she was Krum's date and his hostage.
At this point Harry saw Angelina and knew that he was right, but he also saw that they were surrounded by merfolk who were holding spears and tridents.
Harry nodded to Fleur before they both continued swimming closer, both with their wands ready just in case things got violent. The merfolk looked at them but did not attack. Harry freed Angelina while Fleur freed her sister, after getting their hostages they took a glance at the merfolk who were still not attacking.
Harry and Fleur decided not to press their luck and quickly swam up and back onto the boat. As soon as they reached the surface both hostages woke up and suddenly began looking around in fear as they realised that they were in water.
"H...Harry?!" Angelina blurted out as she looked around while Harry and Fleur undid the bubble charms.
"Boat now." Harry ordered as he helped her on the boat while Fleur helped Gabrielle get on the boat
"What happened?" Angelina asked as they all got onto the boat.
"Well," Harry said as he tapped the boat, it began going back to shore while Fleur and her sister talked to each other in French. "as part of the task the champions had to retrieve something valuable from the lake, at first I thought it would be something like my broom or family photos. But I was wrong because it was actually people, for Fleur over here it was her sister and for me it was you."
"I'm flattered." Angelina said, giving him a small smile.
"You and the other two chasers are like family to me." Harry shrugged, feeling slightly embarrassed. "Anyway, didn't you know? Did they like put you down there without permission?"
"Oh no," Angelina said shaking her head. "they asked us a couple of hours ago, I think...I'm not sure what time it is. They put us in a stasis spell, my brain's still a little behind. When I said what happened I meant with the task."
"Well I think me and Fleur are winning," Harry replied. "I made this boat and we found you with a point me spell and detection spells. By the way Fleur," Harry said to Fleur, interrupting her conversation with her sister. "did they ask your sisters permission to use her in this task?"
"Yes." Fleur said after a few seconds of talking with Gabrielle.
"Yeah but she's like eight, did she even know what she was agreeing to you? What about you or your parents permission?" Harry asked.
