Disclaimer: I own nothing!

It's been a week here and I'm sick of this wand business! I can't stand making potions anymore! I need to get out for some air… err… water. I was currently walking around on the grounds of Hogwarts looking for a suitable body of water. My feet were killing me! I couldn't wait for the transformation!

Oh, that's right! Harry showed me this lake with other merfolk! Perfect. Oh, look! I made it. I suppose staring at it helped me find it….

I made sure there were no people around and took off my tee shirt. I had a bikini top on underneath so I took off my pants and my bikini bottom was revealed. I dove into the murky water and waited for my tail to fully develop. I swam in a few circles to make sure the blood was flowing nicely into my beautiful violet fin. My plain purple bikini top soaked up the murky water and I swam towards what looked like civilization.

"Umm… hello?" I called out in mermish. I was immediately surrounded by Scottish selkies each carrying a triton.

"Who dares disturb us?" One asked as she jabbed me in the side with her triton.

"It is I, Queen Alexandia Love, a siren," I answered.

"Lies!" Exclaimed the same one who had spoken to me earlier, "Kill her!"

They all pulled back their tritons to shove them forward into me, but an older looking selkie shouted out, "Stop!"

"She tells the truth," she said, "Do you have any news from the ocean?" She asked me. Wow, I'm alive. Sweet.

"I have agreed to offer the aid of the merfolk to help the good wizards in war."

There were gasps all around.

"Why would you do such a thing?" Another asked. I opened my mouth to respond, but couldn't give an honest answer. Why had I done this? I suppose I needed to do what the people who kidnapped me said. Yes, and they also said the other people would kill me. Maybe they would've, too. I suppose being paranoid isn't going to help a thing.

"I had no choice," and that indeed was the honest answer. The way Severus… I mean Professor Snape put it I had no choice at all. It was either help them or risk the lives of the other mermaids.

The sun was starting to rise. I needed to get out of here. After telling them so, I left for the surface, back to making potions and turning rats into goblets. I'm surprised my mermaid magic was able to transfer into a wand!

I slid back into my clothing, despite being in a wet bathing suit. I would just tell them I fell into a puddle or something.

OoOoO

After changing into real clothing I headed down to the great hall for breakfast. I should've asked the mermaids for some decent seaweed.

A boy soon shoved me into a small deserted corridor. He looked about my age and had very blonde hair. He was in Slytherin.

"I saw you at the lake today," he said. I was up against the wall and he had an arm on either side of me.

"What are you talking about?" I tried to leave, but he wouldn't let me.

"Don't play stupid, girl. I saw your scaly tail," he wouldn't give up.

"You're mental!" I tried to escape once again. Once again he stopped me. This time he just sneered at me.

"All I need to do is scream and people will come running," I tried to threaten him. He looked scared for a moment, but his face turned back into a smirk as he let me go.

"I will find about you!" he called after me as I started to hustle into the great hall.

OoOoO

I told Harry, Hermione, and Ron about my morning and about the detour I made with the blonde kid.

"That's Malfoy," Harry said as he took a bite of toast.

"Who?"

"The most foul boy in the school," Ron said.

I took a sip of pumpkin juice.

"I think he's working for Voldemort," Harry said, lowering his to a whisper.

"Why that's insane!" I replied it had been a month and I'd learned everything about the wizarding world. Okay, not everything, but you get what I mean.

"Well, I'm not that worried about it." The truth was I was very worried about it. He can't ever find out about my status because if what Harry said was true I would be in big trouble.

OoOoO

Third Person:

"Who's your new friend, Potter?" Malfoy had no luck of getting the girl to spill so he tried a different method. While Harry was reading a book outside, Malfoy confronted him.

"Her name is Alex. Charming girl isn't she?" Harry went back to his book after looking up.

"Mermaids and Their Habits?" Draco read the title of Harry's book, "A little young for Fairy Tails aren't we, Potter?"

"Buzz off, Malfoy," Alex walked up with a huge smile on her face.

"Oh, it's you fishgirl," Malfoy sneered.

"What are you talking about?" she asked unusually cheerfully.

"You disgust me," he replied through gritted teeth as he strode away.

"You seem cheerful," Harry noted the smile plastered on her face.

"I was hit with a spell." She replied angrily even though she looked completely happy. She had gotten in the middle of Seamus while he was practicing a spell. It backfired and hit her. Luckily Harry knew the counter so she was soon massaging her cheeks.

"That's it! I'm done with magic," she replied angrily as she plopped down next to Harry.

"You know Hogwarts is where you're safest," Harry replied, his tone serious.

"I know, but everything was fine and normal until I met you!"

I immediately put my hands over my mouth knowing I had offended him. His expression became stone cold as he started packing up his books.

"No! I didn't mean it like that! I'm really sorry, it wasn't directed towards you. I meant the wizarding world in general! No! Wait! I like wizards! They're nice people. Well, not all of them, but no! I meant the death eaters!"

It was too late. Harry was already walking away. I tried to chase after him, but he had a huge head start so I went back to the tree we were at earlier and pulled my knees up to my chest. I wanted to weep, but couldn't show any weaknesses in front of other people. I thought of how dangerous it would be to go back to the water alone. Without my knowing, a tear ran down my cheek at the thought of being away from other merpeople for so long.

A soft hand wiped away the stray tear and I realized someone was sitting next to me. Expecting Hermione or Ron I am surprised to see the abnormally blonde kid, Malfoy. He was smirking at me.

"Why so sad, fishgirl?" He taunted. I punched him in the face. He ran off with his two minions chasing after him not wanting a bloody nose to match Draco. Smirking, I stood up and strolled back to the large castle.

Author's Blabbing: Another day another dollar! What dos that even mean? Meh. Anyway, so glad I got this up! Sorry, it's been a while, but I had this sitting on my desktop halfway finished and I knew I had to do something about it! So I did! And here you are at the end of a super-duper fantabulous chapter! Thanks for reading!
