Different Type Of Wizard

Upon the Hour

Kakashi and Harry approached the five beings, shocked as to who they were. Minato Sensei was unconscious, his skin ghostly green and pale, Kakashi on instinct instantly checked for a pulse. The pulse was weak, but present. Whatever enchantment was placed upon them, allowed for them to remain alive in this state (or at least until the hour was up, given the mermaids song). Kakashi withdrew a kunai, cutting the strong restraints around Minato's ancles. Harry had also undone the bindings around Ron's feet, wrapping his arm securely around his best friend.

Kakashi recognized Hermione and Cho Chang, who were also present. The third female he didn't recognize, she was however, a member of the Beauxbatons. Kakashi assumed that Hermione was Victors "item" and Cho was Cedrics. The girl was most likely someone close to Fleur, a sister perhaps, given the likeness.

Kakashi took notice of Cedric approaching them, a bubble covering the lower half of his face, allowing him to breath oxygen underwater. A red flash escaped from his wand, destroying the ropes around Cho Chang's ankles.

"There is only 15 minutes left, you two better hurry or else I'm afraid they will die." Cedric said motioning towards the unconscious beings, quickly disappearing back into the thick kelp forrest with Cho laying tightly in his arms. Victor Krum soon followed in, with a shark head and features. He led Hermione away, the bushy haired girl grasped firmly in the fold of his arms bridal style. Krum expertly swam through the lake, his athleticism giving him the edge.

With ten minutes remaining, Harry and Kakashi were beginning to worry about Fleur and the girl who looked about only eight.

"Let's lead the girl back to the surface with Minato Sensei and Ron, then hopefully we will run into Fleur on the way." Harry said taking
out his wand to cut the band's tying her down. Kakashi wrapped Minato Sensei's arm around his own neck to get a better hold of the larger male. Harry was fine with leading both Ron and the girl on his own. If he were in Kakashi's shoes, he would also have had a difficult time handling Minato; his tall, muscular stature being overbearing compared to the others.

Upon entering the mermaids hidden kingdom, the water seemed less dark and heavily pressured; allowing Kakashi to swim easily on his own. The strain on his lungs however, had not subsided. He was still switching places with his clones to receive fresh  air. However, it was difficult to Shunshin and hold Minato at the same time, Kakashi was internally pleased at being challenged by the task. His thoughts were interrupted however when a cluster of strange tentacle creatures attacked him and Harry. He remembered them to be grindylows, their small horned heads resembling water like demons. Kakashi drew out kunai, expertly throwing them through the water, hitting his target. The grindylows retreated long enough for him and Harry to continue on. Kakashi noticed that Harry had pushed the girl and Ron up towards the surface like he had with Minato Sensei.

Harry's vision blurred as the effects of the gillyweed ended. He felt himself sinking lower to the lakes bottom before he felt a strong tug on his upper arm. Harry then found himself being thrust back towards the surface, landing heavily onto the wooden platform, having the wind knocked out of him. Joyous cheers erupted loudly at his arrival, the onlooking students gathered around him throwing towels over him and patting his back in congratulations. Harry heard more cheers as Kakashi surfaced from the water, his strokes slow and forced. Harry watched as Minato grabbed the back of Kakashi's collar, lifting him up effortlessly out of the water with one arm, setting him down onto the dock. As the students had done with Harry, they wrapped Kakashi up in warm towels, giving him the same welcoming treatment.

Kakashi coughed out the majority of the water that had filled his lungs, the sensation burning his chest. He heaved heavily in and out as air filled his greedy lungs. The loud happy screams and cheers from the crowd painfully filled his water clogged ears. Kushina had done well to wrap up Kakashi and Minato very snuggly, encasing them in heated towels and robes so they wouldn't get sick. Dumbledore smiled kindly towards the two Champions, happy that no serious injuries had occurred during the task.
