Author Note: I own nothing! Except, of course, the idea behind the story. But the characters are not mine! Also, I'm really sorry it's been a since I uploaded a fic...

"Draco, I don't think going swimming in the Black Lake is such a good idea." Harry said as Draco stripped off his pants.
"Oh, come on."
Draco took off Harry's shirt and started on his pants.
"Okay, okay." Harry swatted Draco off, removing his own trousers.

Draco took Harry's hand and they ran into the lake.

When they got in deep enough, Draco dipped under the water, getting his hair wet.
"See it's not so bad," Draco said when he resubmerged.
"No; I guess it's not." Harry agreed.

Harry swam in a small circle before laying on his back, floating. He soaked up the feeling of the warm sun and the cool water. Draco swam over to the floating Harry and laid his hands on Harry's chest. Harry opened his eyes, looking at Draco.
"I can't believe I waited eight years to swim here," Draco commented.
"Well it's not all fun." Harry said, sighing. "The Grindylows and merpeople are actually pretty scary. Plus the countless other things in here that we don't know about."
"Yeah, but we're not even near that." Draco tried to reason.

Draco took off, swimming under water. Harry felt his waist band, making sure his wand was still there. They may not be near the totally dangerous part of the lake, but he didn't want to take chances.

Draco swam further out, exploring under the water. He was headed up to resurface when a monkey like creature grabbed onto his neck. Draco quickly swam to the surface.
"Harry," Draco yelled, scared.
The creature pulled Draco under.
Harry looked back and saw Draco resurface.
"Help," he yelled, becoming increasingly terrified.
"Draco," Harry called as the other boy went under water again.
Draco came back up and Harry saw the creature. Harry panicked.
"Stupefy," he called as he pointed his wand at it.

The monkey creature fell back under the water and Draco swam quickly back to the shore. He laid on the sand, trying to catch his breath. Harry scurried next to him.
"Are you okay?" Harry asked hurriedly.
Draco wheezed inwardly, slightly shaking his head. Harry rubbed Draco's back.
"It's okay. You're okay now."
Harry saw marks on Draco's neck from the- monkey?
"What was that thing," Harry asked, astounded.
"A kappa," Draco answered hoarsely.
Draco drew in a deep breath and let it out slowly.
"I told you this wasn't such a good idea." Harry smiled.
"Shut up, Harry." Draco said as he shoved Harry over by his face. Playfully, of course.
