Follow up on Cedric's advice later.

"Thanks for the hint", you say gratefully, "but it's too cold now to go swimming in this pool. It must be freezing."

"Come on!" Cedric teases. "You can't be scared of swimming in a bit of cold water!"

"I'm not scared", you say indignantly.

"So jump in", Cedric challenges.

You think about this for a moment, then shake your head.

"I'm still not doing it", you reply. "I'm not crazy enough to do that."

"Fine", Cedric says with a shrug. "Do what you want."

You turn to leave, but Cedric calls you back.

"If you want to", he offers, "you can go to the Prefects' bathroom. The password's 'Pine fresh'."

"Thanks!" you say.

You've never been in the Prefects' bathroom, but everyone has heard of the opulence in there. It would be good to see if the rumours are true.

You thank Cedric yet again, then head back to the castle. In Gryffindor tower, you while away the day, planning on visiting the Prefects' bathroom soon. When you go to sleep, however, you wonder what would have happened if you had jumped into the pool.
