Harry Potter: Shadows of Tomorrow

That's exactly what they did, after some romantic talk and some snogging the two walked back, overhearing a conversation between Snape and Karkaroff as they did. Snape was looking in all the carriages to see if there were any student inside doing things they shouldn't.

"Well I guess if he can't get laid then nobody can get laid" Ginny joked, Harry had to cover his mouth to stop laughing. After the conversation had finished Harry and Ginny returned to the hall.

No sooner than they got there they saw Hermione running out, tears ruining her make up as she did, the they saw Ron on the floor. He looked in pain as his hands were covering his crotch.

"Damn it" Harry muttered "I would have paid to see that"

"You're not the only one" Ginny sighed

Soon came the day on the second task, Harry and the other champions stood ready as they were prepared to go in the lake. Fleur looked like she was preparing herself and Krum seemed to be going over his strategy one more time. Ron looked petrified, Harry assumed it was because he didn't have an egg so couldn't work out what the task was. The fact that he wasn't wearing anything appropriate for swimming confirmed that belief for him.

Soon the signal sounded and the task began. Fleur cast a bubble charm on herself and Victor partially transfigured himself into a shark. Ron looked like he was about to pass out. However before anyone could do anything, Harry jumped but instead of going in the water he landed on it. Everyone was awe struck as he casually walked on water. Once Harry had walked a certain distance, he stood still, the water around him began swirling and moving. Soon Ginny was lifted up from the water into Harry's arms, Harry cut the rope off of her leg and carried her back like a princess.

Once he got back, everyone was so shocked they forgot that the task was still going on. Harry took Ginny to Madam Pomfrey who looked her over, while he was doing that the rest of the champions recomposed themselves and jumped in. Except for Ron, who really wanted out more than anything.

Harry had spent his time talking and warming Ginny up, eventually Victor returned with Daphne. A short while later Fleur returned, screaming and hysterical. Harry got up and ran to her.

"What's wrong?" He asked in a concerned voice

"Mt sister" Fleur cried "the grindyilows attacked me, I could not save her"

"I'll get her" Harry walked past and repeated the same action he had done with Ginny, however while carrying her back he found Ron was now in the lake. Harry rolled his eyes before handing Fleur her sister, he grabbed Ron and tossed him back up before climbing back out.

"Thank you" Fleur hugged him before planting a kiss on each cheek "thank you so much for saving my sister"

"It's no problem" Harry reassured her "she probably was safe but I figured you'd prefer confirmation instead of guessing." Fleur hugged him once more before introducing him to her little sister who blushed wildly, Harry then returned to Ginny and accepted his victory kiss. Soon the task had ended.

"Ladies and Gentleman" Bagman spoke joyfully "once again the youngest champion is the first to complete the task, and managed to save two hostages, followed by Victor Krum. Miss Delacour was third but did not manage to rescue her hostage, followed by Mr Weasley. Potter has received a full 50 points, Krum has received 40 points, Fleur has received 25 and Mr Weasley has received….0….0 points."

Needless to say a party raged that night in the Gryffindor tower, Harry's back was getting sore from all the people patting it as was Ginny's face when she glared at the girls who kept trying to hug him. Ron and Hermione were the only ones not parting and were sulking in the corner.

Hermione was unbelievably sad, not only did Ron call her an attention seeking bitch at the Yule ball, he also failed to rescue her. She had heard how Harry saved Ginny and Fleurs sister but made no attempt to save her, maybe it was hopeless, she could have blamed her unsuccessful attempts on Ginny but if Harry had willingly saved a friends sister over her then she probably stood no chance. Her mind wandered onto what sort of person would leave someone under a lake.

Ron was not doing any better, at the ball Hermione kept looking for Harry and when he called her out on it she kicked him in the nuts and embarrassed him in front of the whole school, well, even more so when you consider what he was forced to wear. Then he was totally unprepared for the task, Potter didn't even have the decency to lend him the egg or tell him the clue.

Potter had to show off again and walk on water in front of everyone, near the end Ron tried to do what Fleur and Krum did but it didn't work. Not surprising since they were all years above him, but he figured that he could do anything Potter could do and jumped in the lake. It was freezing cold and he hurt his ankle, Potter had to show off even more and rescue him and Fleurs sister. This was supposed to be his chance to shine! He was supposed to go through everything and win and everyone was supposed to love him, he would have too if it wasn't for Potter.

"Hey Gin" Harry whispered "we'll do it tomorrow"

"Okay" Ginny nodded

"Do what?" The twins overheard

"Well" Harry whispered to the two "actually you two can help, if everything goes to plan then it may just be the biggest prank in history" The twins blazed with joy, as did Harry and Ginny. Needless to say they were in.
