《Elegance | Harry Potter》Year 4-11 | Second Task
Advertisement
"Evelyn Clermont" Moody jumped in front of my way while I was walking in the corridors. I jumped a little bit quickly stood up straight to face him.
"Profesor"
"Profesor McGonagall would like to see you" He muttered drinking something out of a strange bottle again, "You look so much like your mother" My mother works at the Ministry so it probably would make sense for him to know how she looks like but a little strange. Nonetheless, I headed towards Profesor McGonagall's office.
Inside her office, Hermione, Ron and Gabrielle standing there. Gabrielle quickly ran towards me to hold my hand and Ron gave me a quick wave. Hermione smiled slightly at me before looking back towards Profesor McGonagall who looked at the four of us sympathetically.
"Ah yes Miss Clermont, come in" I held Gabrielle's hand right pulling her close to me and stood next to Ron.
"The reason I called the four of you in is for the second task. As you may know the second task will be at the black lake, you four are going to be the 'prize' the mermaids take underwater for the champions to retrieve" My eyes widened, Gabrielle must be Fleur's to save, Hermione was Viktor's and considering Ron doesn't talk to Cedric, he was Harry's to save. That meant Cedric would have to come get me from the black lake. I trust him of course, he was an intelligent wizard.
"But professor, Gabrielle doesn't know how to swim, and she's only 8" I furrowed my eyebrows at her.
"I'm afraid you and Gabrielle are the most important thing to your sister right now at Hogwarts and since you are Cedric's to save, it leaves Gabrielle"
"Is this 100% safe?" I asked remembering the letter from my father. The tournament was rigged so there was a possibility that maybe Gabrielle and I won't even make it out of the water.
"Yes of course, Profesor Dumbledore has spoken to the mermaids and they agreed to safely carry any of you if you guys are left behind" Left behind, that calms my nerves doesn't it, mermaids are vicious creatures, what are the chances they really free us.
"You'll all be fine" She said pointing her wand at Hermione as she collapsed into Ron's arms. Gabrielle hugged my arm as Ron collapsed on the floor next to her. Profesor McGonagall turned towards me pointing her wand and my vision started to blur as I passed out.

My eyes jolted open gasping for air. In front of me was a crowd of students cheering and chanting Cedric's name. I turned to see Cedric who wrapped his arm around my waist helping me swim towards a platform towards the group of students.
"Evelyn!" Fleur let out a hand to me helping me up. The Beauxbatons girls quickly covered me in tons of blue towels, it was freezing. She held me right giving me a hug thanking Cedric.
"Thanks" I looked up to see Cedric catching his breath. He looked down at me smiling before getting surrounded by his friends rushing towards him with towels.
"Did you come in first?" I asked Fleur in French.
"No, I gave up. I was terrified to do the second task knowing it's rigged and gave up in the middle. Gabrielle is still down there" She pulled away from the hug sitting down beside me.
"Hermione!" I quickly let out a hand helping Hermione up the platform giving her my towels, "Are you alright?"
"Yeah thank" She says catching her breath, "Is Harry back yet?"
"No, Cedric came first and then Viktor. Fleur gave up in the middle"
Our conversation was interrupted by the sound of bells indicating an hour was up. With the bell, Ron and Gabrielle popped out of the water but no sign of Harry. Harry must've saved Gabrielle too instead of only saving Ron.
"GABRIELLE!" Fleur rushed over quickly reaching her hand out as Ron helped her towards the platform. Harry still was no where to be found and I was getting really worried. Shortly after Harry popped out of the water with his wand pointing up, he basically flew out. My body relaxed a bit and rushed towards him grabbing a towel.
"You saved her even though she wasn't yours to save" Fleur said bringing Gabrielle with her kneeling down beside Harry. "My little sister! Thank you!" She grabbed his head and kissed him on both his cheeks before turning to Ron.
"And you, you helped!" She got up to face Ron.
"Well, yeah, a bit" Ron said as Fleur cupped kissed both of his cheeks. Ron stared at her as she walked away with Gabrielle flattered to which Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Harry, are you alright?" I wrapped another towel around him. His skin has small cuts and rashes, the Grindylows definitely attacked him for trying to save more than one person.
"Yeah I'm fine, I finished last though" He said catching his breath. I lunged forward giving him a tight hug.
"Next to last, Fleur gave up in the middle"
"ATTENTION!" Dumbledore's voice echoed though the air a little too loud causing me to cover my ears pulling away from Harry. "The winner is, Mr. Diggory!" the students all cheered for him, "A great usage of the bubble head charm" He smiled at down at me and I returned the smile.
"Seeing Mr. Potter would've finished first if it wasn't for his determination to rescue not only Mr. Weasley but the others as well, we agreed to award him second place!" Dumbledore continued.
"Second place!" Hermione came around giving Harry a hug.
"Everyone, follow me" Dumbledore motioned towards groups of boats. I sat down in one of them next to Fleur still covered in towels as the boats stirred itself on to land.
When we got off the boat Gabrielle Fleur and I brushed past Harry speaking to Barty Crouch. From the corner of my eyes I saw a figure standing behind the trees. I quickly turned to see someone leaving, a man, I didn't exactly see his face.
"What is it?" Fleur asked looking in my direction.
"Nothing, thought I saw something"
Moody jumped in front of us again making all three of us to jump. He stared at all three of before brushing past and walking towards Harry and Barty Crouch.
"Come on let's go" Fleur said pulling Gabrielle and I with a weird look on her face. Strange, everything about Moody was strange. The thing he always drinks hourly pretty much, how he acts around me, him interrogating me. Something doesn't fit right.
"You guys go ahead" I said turning back to watch Moody walk over to Harry and Crouch.
"Cornelius! Not trying to lure Potter into some summer internship at the ministry are we?! Last boy that went into the department of ministries never came out!" Moody called out. I closely examined him walking beside him. He licked his lips and Crouch's expressions stiffened real quick. He stomped his waw towards Moody staring at him in the eye when Moody did it again, like a snake. Crouch had such a sad look on his face when he started to walk off brushing past him.
"And they say I'm mad!" He called out at Crouch before drinking something from his bottle.

I changed into some dry clothes and headed out to the common room to find Hermione standing down the stairs. She turned to look at me giving me a slight smile.
"I'm sorry for ignoring you" She said, "I know what I said about I can relate to how you feel but you know how much I hate Draco"
"It's fine" I nodded before walking down the stairs towards her, "Have you noticed anything weird about Profesor Moody lately?"
"Profesor Moody?" She furrowed her eyes thinking, "No nothing weird. He does seem to favor Harry though"
"I see"
"Ron and Harry left to Hagrid's, do you want to come with us?"
"Sure" I paused for a second before replying. A big smile formed on her face as she linked arms with me pulling me out of the common room. I returned the smile and walked out to the field with her having small talks, catching up on everything.
***
"Now I remember, I remember when I first met you all. Biggest bunch of mischiefs I ever set eyes on. Felt like I was looking at meself ya know. And here all are, 4 years later" Hagrid's voice echoed through the forbidden forest. The forbidden forest during daytime to afternoon was alright, it was nighttime when a lot of the crazier things would take place.
"Evelyn" I turned to face Harry, we haven't spoken ever since the second task, "Can I talk to you alone?" He asked. I nodded and the two of us walked further away from Hermione Ron and Hagrid.
"About the Yule Ball, I'm really sorry. I just wasn't expecting Draco out of all those people"
"It's fine Harry but please try to understand

Mage Among Superheroes
Turlough is a mage. He also happens to be an orc, generally lauded as being less intelligent than humans. He was unfortunately born with the Curse of the Barbarian, meaning that he can’t level up except through combat- which greatly hinders his ability to show he can be a proper mage. In a world with necromancers, dragons, invading armies, and all sorts of other monsters he would still be able to advance quickly, but unfortuantely… that world is not his world. An unprecedented peace reigns across the land, and in the last several decades there’s been little use for people capable of fighting- and thus little reason for people to fight him. So when he sees a portal in his master’s study he takes it, hoping to find a horde of demons or something equally foolish to combat at low level. But instead he ends up in a strange city full of skyscrapers and people running around in colorful outfits. Superheroes- and of course supervillains as well. What dangers and opportunities could await him in such a strange and unfamiliar world? Only time will tell. Inspired by many things in the superhero genre, and Super Minion specifically- though while the setting will share some standard elements, it is an original setting that will hopefully be as engaging as many of the other universes. Schedule: One chapter each Monday/Thursday, approx. 2000 words.

Enter the attention of the spiritual world of having a car and what it means when it is seen more than just a car. It is a lot of things. Cars are more than just a mode of transportation to get from point A to point B. Ever since I was a kid and grew up with my family driving in our 84 Buick Regal, I knew I had some sort of special understanding with these vehicles. I know many of you out there have communicated with your vehicles in one fashion or another, but with me personally, Ive always understood and heard the soul of these classic cars. Its made me feel more empathy and understanding of some of the situations they get in, but also understand the joy they feel when they are with whom they call their road partners.

There is a mechanical friend for each of us to learn more about their scientific background. This takes the reader far beyond the facts of what the car breed is. Everything has a spirituality side of it. A Tao; The Tao or Dao is a Chinese word signifying the "way", "path", "route", "road" or sometimes more loosely "doctrine" of cars. If we are looking for a classic car tht we dream of then the message is "Having an old American car is that it doesn't have to be very pretty. It's a satisfactory pleasure of building it and getting together to talk about the American classic, muscle car or not, it's how you connect with others into a community that holds together community. It is much safer to be riding around in a standard classic car from the 60s an 70s because you are aware of your responsibility driving it plus if you're hit, the armor protecting you is the car itself with no huge lethal damage to the car or yourself" Others' tastes are going to be different and unusual.but it is best to find what cars are going to say when we bond with them in every day in all the ways possible.
