I don't own them. It's all JK Rowling's. I'm just borrowing them for the moment.
It was a lazy evening at the lake. The Giant Squid was waving its tentacles, minding its own business when the water started to ripple violently. It splashed a tentacle in the water to get a feel for what caused the rippling. The vibrations did not bode well for whatever creature landed in the lake.
"Ooof!" a high-pitched voice cried as the splashing increased. "You will pay dearly for that!"
"Will I?" a deeper-pitched voice asked silkily. "In what way, my dear?"
More splashing caused the Giant Squid to move away from the source of the disturbance. Stupid humans. Why can't they keep to themselves?
"You'll see," said High Voice loudly. "You'll be lucky if your potions are still labelled correctly by the time I'm done with them."
There were more disturbances as a second creature splashed in the water. They are definitely not edible. Stupid humans.
"I think not," Deep Voice murmured. "You will be lucky if you even find my potions."
The splashing stopped. The Giant Squid moved slowly towards the middle of the lake, only to see the two humans caught in an embrace. Stupid humans. They are just as bad as the selkies. I'm going away.
