Chapter 338: Lyra's Great Secret is Revealed

When Neville sneaked back into the tent, Mister Crouch was still going on with his explanation about the first test. That was until he realized it was time to begin.

"Right! So... why don't we let the lady go first?" Crouch suggested.

"That's fine by me." Fleur glared at the other champions.

"I'll show them how it's done." She said with a confident smile on her face.

"Oh!" Krum raised an eyebrow and then bumped Cedric's shoulder. "You think all French girls are this fiery?"

"I... don't know..." Cedric was too nervous to think about girls or anything else right now. He still hadn't come up with a way to get the golden egg that Mister Crouch just mentioned they had to retrieve. Meanwhile, he was sure that all his opponents already had a clear strategy, after all, they had weeks to think about it.

"Can we see the other champions' performances?" Cedric finally asked.

Krum seemed to find his nervousness amusing.

"I'm afraid not, Mister Diggory. That would give an advantage to whoever goes last, as that person would have more information to work with," Crouch explained.

"Right..." Cedric lowered his head. He couldn't argue with that.

"Now, if you are ready, Miss Delacour?" Crouch made a gesture to proceed.

Fleur nodded. She was also feeling nervous but would never allow herself to show it.

With a confident expression, the French girl waltzed out of the tent through the front door, and soon they began to hear the cheers from the audience.

"Okay... I will also have to go outside," Mister Crouch said.

"The order will be as follows. after Miss Delacour has completed her task, the next one to come out will be Mister Krum, then Mister Diggory, and finally, our fourth champion..." His eyes moved to Neville.

"Put on a good show, my boy. Some people are expecting a lot from you...oh, but no pressure." He smiled.

He then approached Percy Weasley and patted him on the shoulder.

"Eh?....ok." Ginny continued to look a him with worry.

'What was Harry thinking?... No one is going to believe this is his doing!' Daphne thought.

"Sorry I'm late!" Lyra had just arrived at their seats, looking very cheerful.

"Where were you?" Ginny asked. They had come here together, but before the tournament began, Lyra made some excuse and took off.

"Did you have to poo?" Luna asked casually.

"Oh... so that's why." Astoria nodded in understanding.

"No! That's not it!" Lyra's face became flustered.

"I just..." She sat down and became quiet.

"Lyra?... What is it? Did something happen?" Ginny knew her friend very well. When she got like this, it was because she had something big she shouldn't tell but always ended up spilling in the end.

"A secret..." Astoria said.

"Another one? What is it?" Luna asked.

"Oh, come on, Lyra. Just save us the waiting," Ginny said. "You know you always end up spilling the beans."

"Yes, there was even that time when you actually spilled some beans while spilling the beans... remember?" Luna earned an angry glare from Lyra.

"Fine! I can't keep this any longer!" Lyra exclaimed.

"You just sat down," Astoria pointed out.

"Is it about the Crumpled Snorlax following you around? Because we all know about that one," Luna stated.

"No!" Lyra shouted. "And I don't wanna know what that is..."

"Did you actually go to poo?" Ginny asked.

"No! And shut up about that!" Lyra took a moment to catch her breath.

"I kissed Neville!"
