Forbidden Fate
Chapter Nine That night Draco couldn't do anything, he was once again a merman. He hated this of his. For three hours he was swimming around worried sick about Hermione. He couldn't stand it if anything happened to her.
He had told Harry and Ron about his curse, they started asking questions when he said he couldn't go, so he was forced to tell them. He was resting his elbows on the land when he heard someone coming towards him. Knowing it couldn't be Hermione he quickly dived in the water.
"Draco!" Shouted a voice.
"Harry he wont come up," Ron whispered.
"Draco I know you're in that water, don't make me dive in to get you!"
"Harry what do you want, all of us to get in trouble?" Ron asked.
"And me exposed," came Draco's voice.
Harry and Ron both looked at him, they were surprised that for once he was telling the truth.
"Look at your tail," Ron smirked.
Draco frowned and splashed the water, getting Ron wet.
"Hey, it was a compliment," Ron had to force down his laugh.
"Listen you've been friends with Hermione for a while, and right now she could be giving birth, we need your help," Harry said.
"Thanks for the news update, prophet boy, but incase you haven't noticed I can't leave this water, or I will die, I'm water bound," Draco said.
"We know a way to help you," Ron said.
"How?" Draco asked.
"Look don't think we did it for you, it's just you're the only one who can go up to your father and warn us of any tricks, we would go and figure it out but we don't have time,"
"Potter get to the point, how do you know what will fix me?" Draco asked.
"We searched Hermione bag, and found notes, I guess she was also trying to help you, but couldn't. So here is what we found out, we have the time to make the potion that will give you legs, but we do know something else,"
"On with it, you take forever,"
"Love," said Ron.
"Love? Are you mad?" Draco asked.
"If you fall in love it will break it, your family is not known for loving someone close to them, so they used that against you, but if you were to fall in love you'll free yourself,"
"Well I guess that isn't going to work, I'm not in love with anyone,"
"Really what about the girl who got kidnapped by your father?" Inquired Ron.
"Hermione? I don't love her,"
"Are you sure, you seem really pissed knowing that she isn't here, instead she is in trouble, by your father,"
"She could die tonight, don't let her die!" said Ron.
Draco looked down at his fins then to the moon.
"If you dare hurt her or those babies I'll kill you, I will not rest until you are dead, she's mine, those babies will belong to me, they'll know me as dad, not the enemy!" He shouted.
All of a sudden he sunk down beneath water.
"Draco!" Ron and Harry yelled.
Draco opened his eyes under water and saw his legs instead of fins, he was about to swim up when something grabbed his legs.
He tried saying let go, but he no longer had the effect of a mermaid on him.
Not knowing what else to do he tried panickly to swim up. For a minute he got a breath of air but then he was right back underwater.
"Harry we have to help him," Ron shouted. Pulling out his wand.
Harry waved his wand and said an incantation and a huge bunch of water flew up; Few seconds later Draco emerged, swimming towards the land.
He took Harry and Rons outstretched hands and they pulled him up. Draco bent down grabbed his towel dried off and got dressed.
"Accio Broom," The three of them shouted. A wizzing noise was heard and their brooms all came at once, they jumped on and took off into the night sky.
