Ginny looked at her muddy feet, about 5 feet above the waters of the Black Lake. It was time she shook herself from her trance, or at least try. What's more jolting than a bit of adrenaline? She watched the waters that seem to dance against the moonlight. She flinched when she something move in the water. She internally shook her head. Merpeople don't lounge by the edges of the lake, nor do the Grindylows. They were found around the middle the lake, in the deepest parts. She had learned that last year. They're just fishes, she thought.

She took a deep breath, and finally moved her legs. She stood up as the wind blew her dress and red hair. Just do it, Gin.

And she plunged down the dark water.

Just as she predicted, it was icy cold; but she smiled when she broke the surface. She could feel the adrenaline all the way to her fingertips. It was scary that she couldn't see anything in the murky waters, but it was exciting at the same time. It didn't matter. She was swimming through the scary. She felt something graze her legs, but she kicks it away. She shuddered at the thought of plants growing in muddy water. She then turned to float on her back, and faced the night sky. Suddenly, lightning hit the horizon, followed by a booming sound of thunder. The first drop of drizzle fell on her cheek.

"Bollocks, I got to go back now," she sighed. Her teeth were beginning to chatter as the rain fell. Just then, something bit her left inner thigh. She shrieked in pain.

She could still feel the teeth buried in her skin. She yanked it out and saw that it was a long, black snake. She shrieked again, and threw the water reptile away from her. She then tried to swim to the nearest edge, but she was having a hard time to, with the rain falling hard. It was also as if her left leg was going numb. She felt panic rising up her throat, she was beginning to sink. She tried to keep paddling, swallowing lake water in the process, but she was sinking; down and down. Again, she felt something slither by her right arm. She tried pushing it away as she sank. She had just felt the fangs graze her arm, when something jumped in the water, and grabs her. Ginny sees a flash of yellow light, directed at her arm, and then feels herself being dragged to the surface.

"Accio, Nimbus!" the person shouts against the roar of the rain.

Ginny's sight was a bit groggy. She only deciphers that a student has saved her, judging from the young male voice.

"Hold on, Weasley," the person ordered as he assists Ginny on the broom, and he hops on himself. He then flies them to the tree nearest to the lake. He carries Ginny down from the broom swiftly and puts her down by the foot of the tree.

"Are you mad?! What the fuck were you doing jumping in the water like that?!" her savior screamed at her against the loud noise of the rain. Taking in the posture, the voice, and the platinum blonde hair, she finally recognizes him.

"Malfoy. I—Aaagh!" her sentence was cut off by her own scream of pain.

"Weasley, what's wrong?" Malfoy suddenly crouches down, panic obvious in his voice.

"My leg… It's—agh! It's on fire!" Ginny continued to scream, her body starts to writhe in pain.

"Weasley… You're bleeding." Draco points out as he noticed the red dripping down her legs. For a split-second he thought it was just her monthly visit, but a girl wouldn't be shrieking like that with just… Fuck. He remembers which side of the lake Ginny took her jump. He hurries and pulls the hem of her dress to her waist, and reveals not just her white knickers, but a deep bite on her left inner thigh.

And Draco puts his mouth over it.
