"Whatcha reading?" A voice says, causing me to jump and  rip the walkman from off of my ears.

"Jesus, you scared me." I sighed, closing the book and moving my chair to meet Cedric's eyes. He was happy. After I explained eveything I knew, he seemed to grow more and more curious over the idea and more than eager to help.

But that didn't stop the constant fear that lay within my chest about all of the new information. Not to mention that Cedric could still be in danger. Dumbledore warned me, maybe this was it.

"It's the book Dumbledore gave me. I'm just trying to find something about what's going on with me." I sighed, closing the book and rubbing the sleep from my eyes.

"She didn't leave you anything? No notes or anything?" He asked.

"No, but even if she did, they're still in my old realm." A familiar meow was heard below and I watched as the same white cat I had been seeing was rubbing up against my duffle. The duffle moved back, opening up the latch the see Hopper's little head peeking out.

"Why is he in there?" Cedric laughed, opening the bag the rest of the way.

"She doesn't like when he's in here." I seethed, glaring at the librarian.

"Here let's go somewhere fun." Cedric said, gently grabbing my hand and grabbing the bag with Hopper in it before we rushed out of the library. A soft piano hum was heard echoing off of the walls of the castle. Children from all ages laughed and played throughout the hallways.

Cedric and I reached a new part of the castle, one where the door led outside and towards the black lake.

"Cedric, where are we?" I chuckled, allowing him to pull me closer to the beach.

"Ambition Cove." He replied, beginning to take off his shoes. My eyebrows knitted together in confusion as I continuned to watch him until he was just in his school pants.

"Well?" He asked, gesturing his hand towards my clothes. I let out another chuckle and began to take my clothes off as well.

"Won't we get in trouble?" I asked, looking around but seeing no one was in sight. The sun was beginning to go down but going into summer, the air was warm and crisp, bringing all of the students out of hiding to study or play games.

Hopper came out of the bag and gently touched the water by my feet. He shivered and seemingly shook his head before taking my shirt from the ground and covering himself with it.

"What a material girl." I teased, poking him with my foot. My gaze turned over as I heard the sound of water splashing loudly. Cedric came out of the water with his charming smile he so loved to flaunt.

I couldn't help but smile back as the water droplets trickled down his face, glistening with the setting sun.

"Are you going to stare or actually get in?" I puckered my lips, touching the water with my foot just as Hopper had and remembering the last time I had gone into the water.

"Kill the spare!" I jumped into the water, swimming quickly towards Cedric. He chuckled at my movements and gently grabbed onto my waist, his hands still giving off heat onto my skin.

"When we go under, use the bubblehead charm and follow me, okay?" I rolled my eyes playfully and answered by plugging my nose.

"One, Two, Three-" I held a breathe and stuck my head underwater. When I opened my eyes, i saw Cedric looking at me, his wand giving light over both of us. I waved my hand over my mouth and felt the air being pushed back into my lungs.

Cedric waved me on and I followed. I held up my own wand and used it for light, looking at the deep water below me. I saw the ruins that I saw during my second task and imagined the four students sleeping within the water.

A fish came up and swam beside me as I kicked my feet in the water. I chuckled and watched as the fish swam past me and then towards Cedric, who didn't seem as fascinated with his surroundings as I was.

Finally, I saw Cedric start to go up towards the surface to which I followed.

I rushed to the surface with a gasp and looked at Steve who was standing on the dock with his hands on his hips in laughter.

Then, he jumped in, splashing me with water as he did.

I laughed loudly and covered my face. When he came up, I couldn't help but look at his hair that stuck to his head and the smile on his face.

When I came above the water, I noticed that we were now in a cave. It was lit with torches and on the walls were words. No names. Cedric was standing on the ground, his hands on his hips as he looked over the names, touching them gently. Around him, were treasures of gold, bronze and silver piled up along the edges.

"This is the Ambition Cove." He said to me, turning just as I pulled myself from the water.

"Students come and write their names on the walls with their dream and it's said that it should come true." He added. I hummed in response and gently touched the names.

"Ominis Gaunt, Garreth Weasley, Minerva Mcgonagall.." I read aloud. Cedric touched my hand, causing me to look at him. He didn't speak, he simply looked towards the name scratched onto the wall.

"Maggie Snow." I gasped, moving closer to look at her name. Around her name was Harry's parents, remus and Sirirus.

"Have a real family." Cedric said, pointing to the ambition under my mothers name. I smiled and touched over the words, tears brimming in my eyes.

"She loved you, Marley. Whether you think so too or not. I know she did. She wouldn't leave you in this world without knowing that you'd be okay." He said, causing me to look at him.

"Thank you, Cedric.." I cried, grabbing onto his body and pulling it close to mine.
