A.N. I'm going to Mexico on the 2nd so Updates from the to the 9th may not be consistent. I will make up for the days I don't update. Sorry about that. :P


Growing up in an orphanage, Tom never learned to swim as Mrs. Cole never felt it was necessary. The years flew by and he never even thought of it until meeting Ginevra.

Ginny absolutely adored swimming. Her brothers hated it so it was even better. Living near a pond of fresh water her mum and dad taught her to swim there. She had spent many days just wading in the cool liquid.

When they met in person for the first time since the incident in her first year, it was at Ginny's little pool. Screaming and crying she was dragged from her home to Tom's, but not without a struggle.

They fought, scratching and clawing at each other and Ginny managed to push him into the deep end of the water. He struggled to get out but when he did, she paid greatly for it.

Ginny was drowning in the hell she was forced to call her life and there was no water in sight.
