Disclaimer: I do not own anything, only the people I make up for this story. I'm just a fan of this couple, so I wrote this for all the Neville x Malfoy fans like myself.

Notes: I got this idea one day while at work and I've also read a yaoi pairing that was about a merman and a prince, so I HAD to make one for this pairing, I'm also doing one for Wolfram x Yuri from Kyo Kara Maoh, with the same basic words and idea's. The mermaids are different then the way HP describes them. Mine are like all others. Sorry! I thought it will fit both Neville and Yuri. Seeing how Wolfram gets sick and all when at sea. And Yuri would make a cute fluffy merman. You may see a bit of Yuri in this story as well. So it might be a crossover. Also, if anyone's watches Merlin, you will notice some themes and ideas from that show.

IMPORTANT: this story is nothing like HP, this dose not take place in Hogwarts or even in the same time frame. This story is much, much earlier then that! The setting of this story takes place in England around the times of war, plague and knights. Times were Merlin still lived and the thought of myths and legends seemed real and alive. A time between ancient times and the renaissance. C. 476 to 1453 or 5th or 6th centaury. I have yet to determine a time frame only that it's during the middle ages. Once I have information on Merlin I will let you all know. Also forgive me, if Draco is not a wizard and Neville isn't human. But for this story to play out, I needed them to be the way they are. Also, you will notice that they are a bit OC. But it's to be expected if they lived a different way of life. Malfoy is poor and in need of money, but has a kind soul. Neville is strong and brave like any Roman but as passionate as an Egyptian woman (lol) but I assure you that they will grow in their personalities, just give them time. I have a plan! I hope you guys will stay with me to the end. Then you will all understand!

Wise men wonder while strong men die.

Show me how it ends. It's all right.

Show me how defenseless you're really are

Satisfy the emptiness inside.

Well that's alright, lets give this another try

Breaking Benjamin~ So Cold

Chapter One: The Meeting

Five year-old Draco didn't know how it happened. One second he was with his mother shopping at the shopping center near the shore, the next second he found himself in the cold, salty water. Bubbles whirled around him, water rushed into his ears, his eyes and mouth. He reached out blindly, hoping to find something to hold onto that could save his life. He kicked his legs, never finding the sea floor under him. Suddenly a large wave crashed into him knocking him fully under the cold, dark depths.

Hope all but left him, as his body filled with water. He closed his eyes against the pain of not being able to breath, as he blindly reached out, his hand swirled in the water and his hand stuck against a chest, before the darkness found him.

Lifting his arms, he lightly tossed the other boy back onto land, inside a cover near the end of the beach, hidden from view of the shoppers eighty-five feet away. The waves lightly hit the rocks all around them; Draco lay on a pitch of sand, few rocks surrendering him.

With what seemed like a few minutes, felt like an hour to the young saver, he watched and waited for the boy to awake. When finally a moan escaped the boy's parted lips. Draco rolled onto his back as he coughed and sputter, his lung filling with new found air. He opened his eyes staring at the dark, gray, rocky ceiling overhead.

The other boy raised himself up onto a rock that protruded out of the water, leaning on his crossed arms as he watched life breath into the human he saved.

"You certainly do not swim like an otter or any sea creature I've ever seen," he pointed out as Draco sat up, staring at him in wonder. "You must learn to keep your mouth shut, when you swim underwater."

Draco blushed and managed to gasp out, his arms failing about at his sides. "I don't know how to swim!"

"I can see that!" he said and then chuckled aloud at the embarrassed and flushed expression on Draco's face.

Feeling somewhat giddy, Draco pushed back the wet hair clinging to his cheeks and lashes. He stood up and smiled. "You saved me, right?"

"Ay! You're the first human I have ever seen you sure are a tiny one at that." he laughed.

"Human?"

Draco walked closer to the rocks the boy was leaning on and gasped out loud when he saw a tail, lightly splashing in the small amount of water hitting the rocks.

"You're a Mermaid! Cool." he said, giggling lightly.

"Mermaid? Nay! Merman, as you dirtdarwlers like to call us." he pouted.

With an amused but kind eyes and a lopsided grin plaster to his face, Draco extended his hand down at the merboy. "Would you like to be my friend?"

It only took a second for the shock to pass before pure happiness controlled him. "Sure! I never had a human friend before. I'm Neville Pupp."

Taking to each other rather quickly, both boys settled into a comfortable conversation, the air around them grew warm and light. Both forgot about were they should be, they instead focused on the company they had in one another. Draco told Neville stories about his life, the things he likes, his fears and everything in between. Neville retuned the favor, telling tales of various sea creatures he encounter, his family and the different human ships he's seen in all his seven years.

Soon they found themselves in a comfortable silence, the sounds of the shopping center found it's way into the cave but one voice rang out the loudest. "Where's my Son, have you seen him? Oh, noo…my son!" the sound the wailing woman brought both boys out of their silence.

They looked at each other, their eyes locked and Neville nodded his head in the direction of the voice. "It's your mom, time to go!"

"Will I ever see you again? I don't want to go…" he said as he stood up, his face pouting and sad.

"Aye, I'm sure we will, I think our fate's are intertwine, but you need to go to your mother now." he said, and then he broke out into a grin. "I had fun! Until next time."

Draco stood smiling, gave one last look at his new friend then headed out of the mouth of the cave, to get to his mother.

The merman swam to the mouth of the cave, he watched as his new friend ran to his mother, crying out her name as his arms met with hers, tears flowed and his mother spoke loud but southing words to her son.

"Never do that again, I was worried about you! Promise me you won't do that again. Promise me, Draco." she plead as she brushed the wet hair out of his face.

Neville watched as Draco stood tall, whipped away his mother's tears and kissed her cheek. He smiled and said. "I'm sorry mother. I won't do it again." he hugged her tightly.

Neville Pupp smiled and swam away, he thought about his new friend and the touching display of love between the mother and son. He swam all of two feet before he spotted his own mother.

"Neville, where have you been? I was just about to send the guard." his mother said in panic, as she swam to him.

"Sorry, mother."
