30 Day OT3 Competition/Challenge: Day 20 - Naked

Pokemon Trading Card Collection Challenge: Avalugg - Silver - Set your story below the Black Lake, when it is frozen over.


Hermione's naked stomach was freezing. Her eyes sorrowfully kept moving upwards towards the top of the Black Lake. It was frozen over for the winter, and she yearned to feel the sunlight on her face.

Sometimes, it was hard to be a mermaid. She loved the water, but she also loved the sun, and that was why she hated the winter months more than anything. She couldn't go to the surface, and she wouldn't be able to for months until the water thawed as the weather warmed.

A hand gripped her wrist, and she turned to look at one of her two mates.

"Are you okay?" he asked in the familiar mermish.

Hermione nodded. "I'm fine, Draco. Really."

He just looked at her. He really knew her too well.

"I'm fine," she tried to make him believe.

"Before you know it, the water will be fluid, and you'll be breeching the surface for the beloved sun that you love so much."

Hermione smiled. "I know. It just feels like it's going to take forever."

Another merman—her other mate—can swimming to the two of them, his sparkling grin fin as eye-catching as always. "What are you two doing?"

"Contemplating the mysteries of frozen water," Draco drily answered.

Harry smiled. "Really?"

Hermione rolled her eyes. "No, not really," Hermione reassured him. "Why?"

Harry's smile turned wicked. "Because I have an idea of another—more fun—way to pass the time until the congregation meeting."

Draco swam to Harry and gripped the wildly moving raven hair. "If I'm right about what you're thinking of, I like the idea."

Hermione shook her head. She was glad her mates had each other as well as her. They were always horny, and if they just had her, she wasn't sure if she would be able to keep up with them.
