Harry went to bed the night before the second task knowing what was coming. He placed an Auror tracking charm on Hermione, that would only be noticed and respond to the caster. His plans were set and Sirius was wondering why he sent his God son a muggle wet suit.
The next morning dawned early for Harry, he got dressed and headed for breakfast the wet suit hidden by his robes, his firebolt shrunken in his pocket.
He ate the meal as if he had not a single worry in the world. The other champions looked as nervous as nervous can be.
When breakfast ended McGonagall came and lead Harry and Cedric to lake. They walked in silence, and Cedric looked like he was scared out of his mind. Neither Hermione nor Cho were at breakfast that morning. When they reached the platform where they were to start Professor McGonagall asked Harry. "Are you sure you can Handle this Potter!"
Harry just smiled. "Should take no more than ten minutes Professor."
McGonagall looked at Harry. "Shall I hold you to that Potter?"
Harry laughed. "Of course, go place your bets I'll be back first. Oh and here bet fifty Galleons on me for me."
Harry stood on the platform and stripped out of his robes, his Firebolt still shrunken in his left hand. As the cannon went off Harry expanded his broom, used a point me charm keyed to Hermione and took off at lightning speed. He hovered the broom over the spot the spell showed cast a bubble head charm and dove straight down. It took less than a minute to find the hostages. Harry cut Hermione free and took hold of her. He then pointed his wand at the bottom of the lake and fired a water jet spell that propelled the couple to the surface. Harry helped Hermione onto the broom climbed on in front of her and gently flew back to the start. Less than three minutes had elapsed. Madame Pomphry came to check on them and give them warm blankets and hot coco. Harry knew he had one more rescue. Fifteen minutes into the task Fleur floated to the top bleeding and face down. Harry jumped back on his Firebolt and flew out to Fleur. He picked the older girl out of the water and flew her directly to Madame Pomphry, then turned to the lake once more.
When Harry reached the hostages again they were pulling away a little Blonde. Harry fired a wide dispersal Stunner and Hurried to little Gabriel, She had awakened and was drowning. He cast a bubble head charm on her and another charm to expel the water from her lungs. He shot straight back up to his waiting broom and pulled the frightened Child on it behind him. He flew them both to Madame Pomphry, and let the healer check them over.
Now Harry and Hermione sat cuddled under blankets waiting for the task to end.
Fleur Finally was able to walk again and joined Harry and Hermione. When she did Fleur took Harry's face in her hands. "You…you saved her…even though she was not yours to save. My little sister." She kissed Harry's cheeks. "Thank You!" She then walked away and Harry said not a word.
Hermione Looked at Harry like she was going to kill him. He looked back, "I think it's a French thing Hermione…Besides I already have the most beautiful Girl in the world!"
Hermione was blushing. Then the smaller blonde rushed up to Harry. The little girl was spouting French and blushing like ripe red apple; she then kissed Harry's cheeks and ran away.
Hermione started laughing. "You just have to be everyone's knight in shinning armor."
Harry looked deep in Hermione's eyes and said just two words before he kissed her. "Just yours!"
