Chapter Eight: The Merpeople
Harry stared out in horror at the lake. The Merpeople were popping up out of the water with their tridents, and dragging the first years under the violent currents. The giant squid was thrashing its tentacles. Moaning Myrtle was above them all and screaming, "Get them all!"
Harry was not aware of what he was doing. He jumped out of the moving carriage. He was running to the lake. His speed was unbelievable. When he was about twenty feet from the water, he did not utter a word. However, large balls of red and gold energy were shooting out of his wand. They were knocking the mermaids silly. Even when he mermaids had stabbed them with their tridents, they kept fighting, though weaker. He noticed brown balls coming from the water and orange and black balls coming as well. He noticed from one of the boats, bright white balls were coming down and hitting Merepeople near the boat. A figure jumped from one boat and landed gracefully on another boat, shooting white balls of light.
Myrtle cried out, "WE ARE OVEREWHELMED! NOW THOSE IDIOTS WHO DENIED ME ATTENTION FOR FIFTY YEARS PAY TOO MUCH OF IT! FLEE, FLEE! WHY DID YOU COME BACK YOU HORRID MAN SIRIUS BLACK!" At hat moment, Harry leaped ten feet, straight into the air and hit Moaning Myrtle right in he head. She keeled over and fell senselessly into the water. Harry landed on a boat and collapsed.
Ron saw Harry screaming. He bellowed, "What the hell do you think your doing?" as Harry jumped out of the carriage. Ron ran after him and the he saw it too. There were hundreds of fins thrashing about, and screaming first years all over the lake. The giant squid was splintering the boats apart.
He tried to use a repairing spell on them but something happened. Ron felt a mad desire sweep over him, and he started running gracefully and silently towards the troubled first years. He crouched the lake, and raised his wand. Before the words came out, balls of orange and black started shooting out from the tip of his wand. Not only did hey hit the mermaids, they created a barrier around the survivors. Some of the first years clung on to them. Ron saw a silvery white orb come out and bash a merman on the head. He saw someone in the water sneaking up on he attackers and hitting them wih brown orbs, much like his. Then he saw a large rope-like tentacle sweep to the side of him. It collided with his face and he was knocked clean of his feet and landed in the lake, next to a boat, flat on his back in the water. He was enraged. This time a new emotion swept his body, the desire to kill.
His ears turned red and his face grew crimson. The squid looked scared and roared at Ron. He played he squid's game and roared ten times louder than the squid! The giant beast suddenly swung one of its slimy tentacles at him, but Ron would not give up so easily. He got up again and started concentrating his balls of energy at the squid. Slowly it fell down... on top of Ron!
Hermione watched as the two of her friends were hopping out of the carriage as though it were on fire. That is what she originally thought as well and she too baled out of the coach. She got her wand out to perform a charm to extinguish the fire when she saw she was incredibly wrong. Ron and Harry were running down to the lake, where there was much commotion. She could not exactly see what it was, but it did not look good. As she got closer she heard the screaming of helpless first years. Ron and Harry's wands were shaking and violently, Harry's started firing great large balls or orange and red, whereas Ron just a few moments later stared shooting orange and black balls.
As Hermione got closer, felt a strange sense feeling over her. She stared to lose control. She felt like she would die if she weren't in he water. As she dove into the water her wand too was shaking and emitting brown sparks. Her wand started emanating brown balls, similar to the other two's. She swam up to each, what she now realized were Merpeople, and started aiming at them. She felt an animal rage build up inside as she took no mercy. The Merpeople dived, and so did Hermione. After minutes of beating up those Merpeople, she realized she did not need to breath. She came up next to Hagrid's boat just before a merman's trident came swiftly down on your head. She clambered up on deck. She last saw the giant squid come thundering down.
************************************************************************ Nina walked up to the giant man and gave him a letter. She added, "My name is Nina Deerbrookes. I was instructed to come with you...Mr. Hagrid?"
"Oh! Yeah. You best keep up now miz. No more 'en four to a boa", he called ou as hey reached the lake and the fleet of boats. Nina hopped into one with Hagrid. He took his umbrella and said, "Forward!" With that the fleet left the docks and started heading across the lake. As they approached a bend Hagrid exclaimed, "You'll jus' be getting' yur firs' look a the castle righ'... what the-"Hagrid had no time to finish. A large merperson had jumped right on the boat and tackled Hagrid. Nina drew he wand, but before the words came out, an odd sensation came over her, as she became peaceful and pure. Her wand erupted large white balls of "pureness", if she had to give them a word. They charged down the Merpeople one by one, as they returned to the murky depths. Children around her were screaming in fear. She leaped gracefully from boat to boat, which were at least twenty yards apart each. She secured each boat with first years and sent it off to the other end, before jumping to another boat. She felt so pure, and righteous, yet unaware of her thoughts and surroundings, as though she was acting upon animal instinct. Hagrid's boat was the only one left. She jumped on to it, and sent it speeding off towards the castle. She was the only one on the lake that was conscious.
