Chapter 7
Two days, two fucking days and he had yet to leave his room. He didn't see a point anymore. The one person he wanted to see was stuck in the ocean and he was stuck in a house. How dumb was that? He fought off his birth parents once before why couldn't he again? None of this crap made since to him anymore.
Rubbing the back of his head carefully he stood and walked over to the large bay window he had come to love. Even now peering out of it he could get a glance of bright golden scales and it made him smile even more. He didn't tell his parents but sometimes at night when the tide was high enough he could lean out the window and they could almost touch hands before the mers tail gave out.
It was torturous now that he knew that his heart sung for the mer just as much as the mers yearned for him. Looking out the window he smiled as the tide slowly began to roll in as the sun set. Turning he walked over and locked the door to his room tightly before sitting back down on the ledge watching carefully.
The water rolled further and further in as the sun dipped lower until it vanished Leaning over the window he looked down to see a the merman already pulling himself up against one of the stilts. Harry smiled and reached down their fingertips barely brushing.
Harry frowned, "This isn't right."
The mer smiled, "I know but your safe there."
The teen scoffed, "I would be safe with you as well."
A soft musical chuckle, "you would be safe from land dangers. But the sea has many of her own dangers as well."
"But you protect me right?"
The man smiled, "Of course I would Kangee."
Harry looked down at the mer in confusion, "Kangee?"
The mer smiled, "A nickname little one that is all."
"What does it mean?"
The long golden tail splashed the shallow water gently as the mer lowered itself back down onto the beach, "It means Raven."
Harry nodded before leaning over a little further gripping the window ledge tightly, "and what language is that? My friend with no name."
The mer looked slightly upset, "I have a name you just haven't heard it yet."
The teen smiled, "You haven't told me yet."
"That's because I can't Kangee. You have to hear it for yourself. Listen to the Mother Ocean she will tell you. Just have to listen closely."
The human sighed, "Listen to the sea? But she speaks in riddles."
"The best do. Just listen closely. When the time is right you will know my name,"
The mer slid back down the beach and under the waves without another word and the teen growled in annoyance. This was really pissing him off. Shutting the windows he turned just as the house seemed to shake violently.
"What the hell?" he murmured before running down the hall and steps into the living room, "Mom what's going on!"
Petunia looked ready to bolt, "My sister and that wretched Headmaster of hers is back and they brought allies. They are attacking that ward or whatever those wizards put up."
Dudley and Vernon where already barring the door while Petunia raced to the small mirror the American Ministry had enchanted for them. Looking into the mirror she yelled, "Department of American Magic Auror Mince's office!"
Harry groaned as the mirror blurred white before the face of a certain Auror popped up on it and Petunia shrieked into the mirror, "Those blasted freaks are back!"
Mince winced, "Mrs. Dursley I understand your concern a few aurors and I will be there as soon as we can. Keep Harry in the house don't let him leave! They can't get him if he remains in the house!"
The mirror blurred black before returning to its original state as another tremor struck the house. Whatever spells they were throwing into the ward was doing a lot of damage. Harry looked at his mum before saying softly, "If they break through and the aurors aren't here I want everyone to run."
Dudley turned, "Not a chance Harry, they want you!"
Harry sighed, "That's the point Dudley you guys run for it and I will run for the sea. Do you really think he will let me get taken!"
Everyone in the house froze for a moment before Dudley turned excited, "The sea that's it! We have to get you to the sea!"
Petunia shrieked, "They said not to leave the house!"
The blonde teen glared, "Mum there is a lot of wizards out there the Aurors won't stand a chance if we can get Harry into the sea then he is safe right? He can breath underwater they can't!"
Harry looked at his brother, "I can't swim Dudley!"
Dudley opened his mouth to respond before blushing sheepishly, "Oh right, but even to just get in the shallows! Just call his name I am sure he will swim you away."
The Wizarding teen for the first time in his life face palmed, "Dudley I am going to hurt you."
The house shook again and everyone heard a large groan coming from outside. Turning they watched as the wards around the house shone for a few short seconds before shattering. Harry's eyes widened, "Run!"
The small family of four headed for the back door just as the group of wizards blasted the front door in. Harry turned just to see a tall teen with the group. A teen that looked like him? Brushing off the shock he urged his folks out the back door and toward the sea with the wizards hot on their trail.
The tide tonight was higher than usual so by the time they got down the steps they hit freezing cold water. Harry quickly waded in up to his waist looking back watching as his family got cut off by the invading wizards. Already the wizards blocked off any other exit but the ocean and Lily stepped forward with the teen that looked a lot like Harry save for the hair colour and eye colour.
Lily smiled gently clutching her wand, "Harry dear it's time to come home you have nowhere else to go sweet heart."
The other teen smiled just as gently, "Harry it's me, your twin brother wont you come home? I want to know my little twin."
Harry backed up further into the water looking at his family that were being held at wand point. Looking behind him for any sign of golden scales and not finding any he turned looking a little pissed off.
Harry growled, "I am not going anywhere with you!"
The woman smiled sweetly raising her wand, "Now now Harry dear. Don't be like that. We love you just come with us and we can fix everything!"
A cold hand touched the back of his ankle and the teen smiled lightly, "I said I am not going anywhere."
Lily glared darkly, "I am your mother do as I say!"
"Never!" he slammed his foot against the sand beneath his food and his eyes widened as the water the where standing in pulled back harshly causing several of the wizards to trip over the almost rope like chords of water.
Lily turned and looked at the wizards, "Get up and act like wizards! It's just water!"
Harry smiled before raising his hand carefully a swirl of heat rising in his chest as his fingers sparked gently. The water around Lily's feet began to rise up around her wrapping tightly about the woman in tight cords of water and magic and the teen smiled, "I said I'm not going anywhere."
A spell shot towards him and a rope of water moved up to block it. The spell glided harmlessly past Harry and he turned to stare at the boy who looked so much like him and he stared at his 'twin' his eyes glowing a haunting eerie green. Raising his other hand he moved it behind him carefully watching as the water began to separate into sections around the teen and with a simple snap of his fingers he sent his twin flying.
Petunia and the rest of his family where all staring at him in awe. Even Harry though he knew it was him doing it was unsure how he was doing it. He just knew he could. Everything was actually turning in their favour before HE showed up.
It was like an instantaneous horror show. In second the entire right side of the beach was covered in people in long black cloaks with bone white masks upon their faces. The figure in the centre stood out the most as his dark cloak floated hauntingly around him and his bald head gleamed in the light. Even from where he was Harry could see the man's face and it was like looking at a nightmare.
The nightmare of a man looked upon the scene. From Harry in the water to the other wizards some wrapped in water like ropes and other on the floor immobilized and a dark cackle fell from his lips, "Looks like someone saved us half the trouble! Capture them all but leave the muggles and the boy in the water to me!"
Harry looked down as the cold hand left his ankle and arms wrapped around his waist from behind he felt a breathy whisper in his ear before being dragged backwards under the water the water magic falling as he was dragged further and further from the scene.
"No let me go back!"
The arms gripped him tightly as the fell further into the dark depths, "Harry you wouldn't stand a chance against him. I'm sorry but your family is dead now."
