《w o n d e r f u l [f.w]》17.

Inbetween all this drama, I'd actually been spending a lot of time with Cedric too, I just always needed up hanging out with him everyday - it was never planned, we were just in the same places. I got to know Cho even more, and we got even closer as friends. They were the cutest couple in the school and never made me feel like a third wheel - it was great.
Cedric had been trying to solve what the gold egg was for a while now, and I was waiting for him with Cho outside Charms, when Moody came up to us, and pulled him aside as soon as he left the classroom. Moody was always a bit strange, but I guess that's what happens when you deal with dark wizards for so long - who wouldn't be a bit messed up and paranoid after all that?
Turns out, he'd told Cedric what to do with the gold egg, so we rushed to the prefect bathroom. Me and Cho waited outside as Ced went in, and around half an hour later, he came out with wet hair and a grin.
"Mermaids." He simply said, and decided to rush off and find Harry to return the favour for giving Ced help for the first task.
After Ced had told Harry, we tried to solve the riddle in a corner of the library near the restricted section - so it was empty except for the odd Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Ced kept repeating the riddle, and it was nearly making sense.
"Cedric?" I asked, my voice muffled by my fave being in a book on mermaids.
"Yeah Y/N?" He asked sounding tired.
"Aren't there mermaids in the Black Lake?" I thought out loud - we'd been doing this for hours now, just randomly guessing hoping some logic would come out of somewhere.

Cedric and Cho both turned to me, and I raised my head from the book to see two faces of delight and excitement.
"You did it Y/N!" Cho squealed.
"The mermaids are in the Black Lake - so that's where the next task will be." Cedric smiled at both of us, pulling all three of us into a big hug.
"I wonder what you will have to retrieve?" I said.
"Whatever it is, I only have an hour there, so I need to find something to help me go underwater." He said, already on his feet looking for charm books.
It didn't take Ced long to find the bubblehead charm, and it turned out he'd already done it before, so it was just about perfecting it now. But, it was nearly after hours, so we raced back to our individual common rooms, after a day of solving clues.
The day before the second task, me, George, Cedric, Cho and some others were all in the courtyard, when Moody came up to me followed by Hermione, Ron and I believe Fluer's younger sister.
"Black, come with me." Moody huffed.
"Why?" I asked, I was confused. I hadn't done anything bad this year - why was I in trouble?
"You're not in trouble, but we need you now, so leave your little pals and come quickly - I don't have all day." Moody grumbled at me - he sounded similar to Percy when he got impatient, and that's someone you never want to sound like.
I gave an apologetic look to the group as I left in the middle of our conversation, and smile at Cedric - he was really nervous about the task tomorrow. Little did I know, I wouldn't even be there to cheer him on, because I'd be tied up underwater, waiting for my childhood friend to rescue me within the hour given for the second task.

Kernstalion
One release per week [Hiatus in November due to NaNoWriMo] [Changed the Summary based on reader feedback. Thanks guys!] When Mitchel gets a birthday gift from his girlfriend Sandra - a pre-order version of the newest VR game, he is thrilled. Real-life graphics, full-body senses, and a mysterious world that nobody knows anything about seem like a great way to escape real-life for a few months or longer. Two days later, his dreams of a pleasant pastime are shattered. After meeting a rude welcome-NPC, getting a weak starting body, and having a near-death experience, he finds himself sleeping on the ground, cold and filthy. Unable to log-out, he now has frightening dreams where the tutorial-AI is walking around in his body plotting Earth's conquest. If that isn't enough, he slowly realizes that the game might not actually be a game but that he could very well be in another world. Can Mitchel find out what is going on and where Sandra is? Can he regain his own body, and would he still want to when all is said and done? [The Story] What this story is: A LitRPG, portal-like, slow-moving story with a protagonist who has to balance crafting and 'magic' to survive. The books have a pre-thought-out plot and finish. Also, the world is harsh, and things don't always go the MC's way. What it is not: A drama, romance, grimdark, although these elements might appear. I've had some feedback that the intro seems to set up a very rough life for the MC. There is a reason for this, and I hope you give it a try beyond the first few chapters. Do note, this is not an unreasonably harsh novel.
