Hermione Granger was sitting by the lake sulking. She was so lonely. Only a hand full of students from her year decided to return, Harry and Ron where not apart of that handful. Ginny was there but it just wasn't the same.
It was a Saturday, she could have gone to Hogsmeade but wasn't up to it. She probably shouldn't be outside alone, but she wasn't too afraid of Voldemort's cronies. Maybe she should be…but she wasn't.
A rumbling started and Hermione looked towards the lake. A great jet of water and light burst the surface of the lake. Hermione looked closer and noticed a few bodies in the jet. She grabbed her wand and levitated the bodies to shore.
She had her wand at hand clutching it as she made her way. Her mind was screaming RUN but she was intrigued. As she came upon one figure she noticed he was about 24, handsome, and seemingly the image of a pirate.
She bent over closer to examine him and he began to cough up water.
"Are…are you ok?" She questioned.
His only response was more coughing and pointing. Hermione had a suspicion there was something behind her. She cringed and turned around. What she saw made her scream. Men with heads like fish or body parts with fish body parts…and coral or sea weed.
Hermione backed up and tripped over the only normal looking man and dropped her wand. He finally found his voice.
"Leave her alone men." He said in a raspy voice from coughing.
"We are no longer under your power Turner. Why should we?" A man with a Shark head said. While this exchange was going on Hermione was looking for her wand. Am I a witch or not? She thought.
"Accio wand!" Hermione said. Her voice brought them to attention of her presence once again.
"Don't come any closer!" Hermione said trying for some authority but the quaver in her voice deceived her.
"Going to jab us with a stick poppet?" the fish head said coming closer.
"Stupefy!" she cried blowing him back. The men stared stunned. "Looks like we have a witch on our hands mates." Said a shell head.
"Just leave her alone. She didn't hurt us she probably saved us." Said the Turner guy, but the men had him. He had no control over these guys. A few of them surrounded Hermione and she froze.
One lifted its claw and before Hermione could stupefy anyone she was knocked unconscious.
