It had been a week since he had faced down the dragon and got the second clue and still he had no idea how to solve it. He was currently sitting by the lake tring to figure it out. He would rather be inside but after the first few days everyone in Gryffindor had agreed that he was never allowed to open it inside again. So he was forced to sit outside glaring at the golden egg that was currently the bane of his existence. He was so entranced that he never noticed a certain redhead sneaking up on him until it was too late.

"Rictusempra." the voiced whispered from behind him. Faster then he could react the spell hit him forcing him to roll around laughing. It only lasted a few seconds as his attacker had decided to let him live.

"What the hell." Harry mumbled. Looking around he spotted the familiar red hair that belonged to Weasley's everywhere. Upon closer look he realized that it was Charlie. "That was not funny Charlie." he said as he got to his feet his hand inching closer to his wand.

"I don't know I thought that it was rather funny." and with that the two began to through spell after childish spell at each other. There were ones that made you itch in uncomfortable places, and others that made your hair purple with lots of personality (It came to life and started cursing like a sailor.). Many spells were exchanged and neither even attempted to dodge, the whole point of the game being who had the craziest spell. Unfortunately as most know experience wins 99% of the time and this was no exception as Charlie hit Harry with an obscure curse that made his second head come to life and start to make obscure comments about every girl he knew (he was fine with it until it started to talk about McGonagall.)(1). After being forced to admit defeat in order to get his little friend back to normal the two fell to the ground laughing.

"Where did you learn that one?" Harry asked as the two finally settled down.

"Actually I found it here at Hogwarts. There is a book in the library." Charlie's face scrunched up in concentration. "I can't remember who wrote it though." he shrugged and look out over the lake.

"I'm gonna have to find it then. So what are you doing here. I thought that with the first challenge done you would get the hell out of here." Harry asked as he resumed glaring at the egg.

"Just here to make sure that you are okay. I mean you are in one of the most dangerous tournaments in the world. Can't be easy on you." he replied as he looked at the egg as well. "Any idea who put your name in the goblet?"

"I got a few ideas." he replied as he kicked the egg into the water. Unfortunately there was a strong undercurrent and it carried the egg away. Cursing Harry sprang up and dove into the water. Charlie realising what was about to happen laughed. Of course the boy who lived would be able fluke his way through this.

After a few minutes Harry resurfaced and cast a few charms to dry himself off. One look at his face told Charlie that he know knew the second clue. Neither said anything about it for a few minutes.

"As far as your concerned I figured it out through meticulous research and hard work." Harry told Charlie.

"Sure thing Captain." He smirked and both knew that this was blackmail material for the next few years. "So as I was asking before any clue as to who it was?"

"Well if I were to think like a Magical person. Then chances are it was Karkaroff. But if I were using something foreign to all magical persons then it is likely to be the new DADA teacher Mad Eye."

"Why would it be Mad Eye." Charlie asked looking at his young friend sceptically.

"Well when you think about all the past DADA teachers there has been something wrong with each of them. Then there was the fact that he knew exactly how to bypass the Goblet and he just feels weird."

"Well I can give you the first part but the second could simply be because he was a top auror. And he is a personal friend of Albus Dumbledore..."

"A man who has constantly shown that he is not as aware as he should be. I mean you would think that with all that has happened in the past three years alone that he would put up more protection than a simple age line. There should have been an unbiased guard. Like a ghost or portrait. Something that only he would know about."

"I guess your right. So what are you going to do about it? I mean if it is him someone needs to know."

"Who would believe me. I am simply a little kid. No I will simply have to be happy with trying my hardest to stay alive in the tournament. And with that I shall be off to learn how to breath under water. Cya later Charlie." And with that he got up grabbed his now solved puzzle and headed back towards the castle. Charlie simply watched him disappear. Then after getting bored with that got up and headed towards the ward line.

"I wonder what Tonks is up to." He whispered to himself. Then deciding that it was always better jump in without all the details turned and apparated away. A few seconds Harry could have sworn that he just heard Charlie thanking all the gods that were for the invention of showers.
