Rose Haven: Lol, you make me so happy when skies are grey. You'll never know dear why I'm singing, the song about sunshine.
luvan1mefang1rl: I will try, as this story is almost done...
10th Squad 3rd Seat: I hope that you will.
Anyways, everyone Review. For me? I promise I won't sing to you. (you're eshempted from this Rose Haven.)
Love, Keta.
Chapter 22: Fish… Pops?
Harry's POV
Diving into the cold waters of the Black Lake, I feel my wendigo half springing to life. It relishes in the cold, even going so far as to bring a purr to my throat. The bubble headed charm allows me to breathe here, and I can almost make myself think that this is just a pleasure swim. But I need to keep going, so I do.
The other mystical creatures down here swim around me but do not come close. The Grindylows that have followed close as if waiting for an opening eventually swim away into the reeds.
The Giant Squid grabs me suddenly and leads me to the merpeople's realm. I wave in goodbye and say thanks as I swim closer to see Fleur's younger sister and Draco are the only ones down here. So in a split decision, I grab them both and push them in the direction of my helper. He swims off with them, leaving me with the none too happy merpeople.
"How dare you intrude on our home, evil beast?"
"I am a champion of Hogwarts."
"No matter," the eldest, and frankly, ugliest one snarls at me, "we will kill you for intruding, wendigo!" They launch themselves at me, and instead of fighting, I release some of the freezing power I've felt inside of me before swimming away.
Once I surface, giant blocks of ice containing merpeople right behind me, I'm greeted by my friends, cousin and a thankful Fleur. It seems the Grindylows left me in order to attack her. She was too injured to continue on further. I nod in acknowledgement and push away the towels she offers to me.
Then the results come out. Cedric in first, I expected that. Viktor in third, that I didn't expect. Leaving me in second for saving Fleur's younger sister, even though I clearly came back last.
And killed the majority of merpeople in the lake.
