Penelope and Cho were no where in sight, so naturally both Cedric and Kathy were stressed out.

Kathy had been cramming as much knowledge about the bubble-head charm into her brain as possible, then forcing Cedric to also learn about it.

And then there was the matter of the fact that Kathy had caught Cedric and Penelope making out, but hadn't spoke a word about it.

It's not as though she could shout out: "Yeah, so I was looking for you and caught you lip locking in the courtyard, how weird is that?"

But, it was obvious to the petite witch that Cedric was now seriously doubting his relationship with Cho Chang, which filled her with delight.

Cedric helped her into one of the boats and he sat down, beginning to shake his leg up and down due to his nervous state.

Kathy ignored those though and looked over to the almost lost Ravenclaw that was glancing around awkwardly.

"Rosie!" Kathy shouted, gaining a look from Cedric.

"Oh hey" Rosie Deaver has replied, rather awkwardly at that.

Kathy ignored this and gestured for the girl to join them; "you can jump in with us"

Rosie did as the elder witch had offered and sat down next to her, noticing the difference in their heights rather easily.

Kathy had picked up at the fact Rosie was looking at a deflating Cedric, "Don't mind him, he's moody because Penelope isn't talking to him and Cho is not here"

Rosie only nodded in response and Kathy felt the need to become more friendly with her, to tear down those walls and at least gain a smile.

"So, what are you using for breathing for an hour?" Kathy asked her politely, secretly hating the silence as the boat continued to row itself.

"Bubble-head charm"

At least she was answering and not ignoring her, that's what Kathy thought anyways.

"So is Cedric! Took him weeks to learn it though, it is quite advanced." Kathy proceeded to talk to the younger year, knowing Cedric was still sulking. "Didn't you go to the Yule Ball with George?"

"Yes, but only because Hermione practically forced me to go, and McGonagal, otherwise I would have stayed with my cat" Rosie rambled and Kathy's features lifted up, she had gotten her to open up.

"You know, for some reason Fred doesn't like you with george" Kathy stated, wondering what Rosie thought of the wizard that obviously had feelings for the brunette. "But, I think you'd be the perfect match. He is after all watching ya with his twin right now on that boat over there"

Kathy tilted her head to the side and Rosie glanced over at the twins, causing Kathy to grin.

She defiantly had some interest in George Weasley.

Rosie let out a giggle as she turned back to Kathy, "they are quite silly"

Kathy's smile grew, she had actually gotten her to giggle, she thought they make good friends.

"Very silly"

The boat finally arrived to the stands and Cedric helped both both out as gracefully as possible.

Kathy wished them both good luck before running away from the two so she could find a good seat to watch.

"Charlotte!" She cheered as she spotted the girl wrapped up in wool and jackets, "isn't that a Slytherin's scarf?"

Charlotte blushes slightly, "a friend gave it to me"

Kathy shrugged it off and joined the girl next to the metal bars, she gripped onto them tightly in anticipation.

                                     ———

Somewhere along the task, the Weasley twins had ended up with the girls as they all froze their butts off.

Well, except Kathy who had her emotions in slight control so she could let out some heat for them all.

Charlotte was clinging onto George, in a friendly manner, as they both talked about George's obsession with Rosie Deaver who was risking her neck as they spoke.

Fred has both his arms wrapped around Kathy's waist as she shivered from the cold.

"This bloody task better be over soon" Fred gritted his teeth angrily, Fleur had already been caught and she was eliminated from this task.

Then someone swam to the top of the water and everyone cheered, Kathy broke from Fred's arms once she realised that it was Cedric and Penelope.

'Treasure'

Penelope was what was most special to Cedric, Kathy just hoped that Cho wasn't too crushed by this.

"Penny!" Charlotte and Kathy shouted out in a panic as Cedric basically carried the chattering girl onto the stand where people began to wrap them in blankets.

Kathy pulled Penelope into a hug and ran her hands up and down the girls arms to try and give her some heat, she then pulled back and placed her own hat and scarf around the girl.

"Thanks Kathy" penny grinned, even though she was freezing to death.
