Harry Potter:Blood

Chapter 5: Chapter 5: SaltWater



Hermione Granger sat quietly in the headmaster's office in tears, it had been 3 whole months since the grey haired Witch had taken Harry, and the order of the Phoenix had no leads whatsoever.

They had spent weeks and thousands of galleons but they where no closer to tracing Harry's magical signature or the witch's apparition trail, it seemed the witch had apparated Harry to at least 12 or more locations across the UK before finally landing so by the time the ministry had found the 10th location the magical trace had distinguished and the trail had run cold.

"There must be something else we can do? What haven't we tried yet?" Said Ron his eyes scanning parchments on the headmaster's desk, he had slipped into a deep depression since Harry's abduction, in fact the whole Weasley family felt like they had lost one of their own.

Ginny was the most heartbroken of all and hadn't left the Burrow for weeks , insisting on staying home and scrying for Harry or catching fairies to help her divine his presence, it was as if the Harry they knew and loved had been wiped off the face of the earth.

Dumbledore sighed and took off his spectacles, rubbing the bridge of his nose in what for Dumbledore was almost a sign of deep irritation.

Just as the atmosphere in the room was becoming unbearable Professor Snape walked in carrying a small vial of silver liquid.

Hermione tried to listen in as Snape whispered into Dumbledore's ear before placing the vial in the Headmaster's hands and storming out in a billow of black robes.

Dumbledore turned to the sobbing witch and gave a slight smile of resignation.

"It seems that the witch who took Harry may have also taken Draco Malfoy, could you identify her if you saw her again?" Dumbledore asked.

"Most definitely Sir, I will never forget her face as long as I live" Hermione whispered as fresh tears rolled down her cheeks.

"There are also similarities in the way in which both young men were abducted, the witch was seen shortly before Mr Malfoy went missing 9 months ago, we believe that Lucius Malfoy may have knowledge of their whereabouts but we cannot acquire the legal forms to question him under veritaserum." The Headmaster placed the vial onto the table in front of Hermione and Ron.

"This vial contains a memory from one of Malfoy manor's Ground-elves , Lucius tried to obliviate the elf , but ministry Aurors managed to extract it" Dumbledore poured the memory into the large pensive in his office.

Hermione and Ron gathered round as the silver liquid swirled into the pensieve creating a deep smoky image, they lent in and found themselves falling behind a large rosebush in a beautifully kept garden lined with swathes of budding plants and enormous tree and bushes.

It was a crisp, clear spring day and a dog could be heard barking loudly in the distance.

"No Caesar, get down" Draco Malfoy laughed as he ran into view, a large golden retriever jumping up at his chest. The Slytherin looked care free and for the first time ever Ron and Hermione saw a genuine smile play across his face, cleansing the sneering coldness that was usually present there.

The Blonde took a stick out of the dogs mouth and threw it as far as he could, laughing as the dog pelted after it , within seconds though his laughing smile was covered by an all too familiar aged hand, the grey haired woman held a wand to Draco's temple just as she had to Harry's.

"Daddy has decided it's time for a little swim" Draco's eyes where wide with terror as he was apparated away in a swirl of blackest smoke.

In an explosion of colours the Gryffindor's soon found themselves back in the headmaster's office.

"Professor, the witch also mentioned fish when she kidnapped Harry, could that be significant at all?" asked Hermione as Ron sat down and put his head in his hands.

"I am not sure, they are questioning a captured Death Eater by the name of Nott, he was trying to buy something Nocturne Alley, and it seems the dark lord's followers aren't as careful as they should

be."

oOo

Harry flipped a loop de loop and cheered, in the 3 months he had been a Merrow he had finally become an expert at manoeuvring his tail.

"Brilliant Harry well done" Shouted Draco.

Harry swam at speed towards the Slytherin but couldn't stop in time and went bowling into the blonde, landing on top of him in a cloud of sand and seaweed.

Harry lay there for a second , staring into Draco's eyes before he lent down and kissed him, Draco wrapped his arms around the brunette and kissed him back.

The past 2 months had seen their relationship grow into a friendship and then something more sexual, although they hadn't actually got that far, they weren't about to do the dark lords bidding and hand a first born child to him, but Harry had to admit it was getting harder and harder to resist the strange new urge to mate especially with the changes Voldemort had made.

Bella had stopped bothering them with sharks and Piranhas, they were given a more varied and delicious diet and strangely enough the water had cooled significantly since Harry first arrived, it sometimes got so cold the surface of the tank would freeze.

Of course this didn't bother the lovers, lovers yes that's what Harry would call it although Draco liked to call them Mates.

Draco leaned in for more and began to stroke the sensitive yellow stripe on the front of Harry's tail, Harry moaned into Draco's mouth and Draco flipped them so that he was on top.

They were lost in infatuation when Harry felt something hard pressing against the smooth scales of his tail he pulled back to see that Draco's penis had unsheathed itself and was sticking erect out of his tail.

"NO Draco we can't do this you know what could happen" Harry moved away and Draco tried to follow.

"I don't care Harry I ache for you so much I can't stand it please!" Draco made to grab Harry.

"No it'll hurt all the more if we let Voldemort have what he wants!"

Draco sighed exasperatedly and looked deep into Harry's eyes.

"Okay, sorry it's just getting more and more difficult to resist you" Draco sighed blowing bubbles out the corner of his mouth.

"I know the feeling Draco Grrr Merlin I can't take this anymore!" Harry growled out pulling at his hair that floated in a halo around his head.

He flipped his tail hard and propelled himself to the surface of the tank, gasping in shock as he broke the ice on top.

The surface of the tank was open to the outside and with a little bit of effort, Harry pulled himself onto the flat asphalt roof of the building just as Draco's head broke the water.

"Harry! What in Merlin's name do you think you are doing!"

"Look Draco, it's a smooth slope down to the edge of the roof, if I can slide myself there I can drop into the lake, it comes right up to the wall, then if I can find a river or stream I might be able to get help."

"But you have no idea where we are, neither of us have ever been in open water before anything could happen!" Draco panicked gripping the roof with both hands.

"I can only try" Harry replied as he leaned over and kissed Draco. Harry turned and slid forward, pulling himself along the roof with his hands, pausing briefly to look through a roof window down into Voldemort's empty study.

Finally reaching the edge he rolled himself over, allowing himself to drop into the lake, for a split second Harry felt an exhilarating burst of freedom before a horrible itching sensation began to claw at Harry's gills and eyes, his lungs burned and his skin and tail were on fire, he couldn't breathe it hurt so much, he screamed and swam to the Jetty that was near to where he had fallen in.

A patrolling Death Eater pulled him out suddenly and cast Aquamenti across Harry's body, concentrating on his gills and face,

"Circe! Are you trying to kill yourself!" the Death Eater shouted, the Dark Lord appearing behind him, Harry lay on the Jetty panting and gasping , he raised his webbed hand to his face and saw it covered with white mottled marks and a few blisters etched across his skin.

"Salt burns little Merrow, only you, a freshwater creature would be foolish enough to jump into a saltwater lake" The Dark Lord hoisted Harry up himself and carried him through the building, all the way up the stairs and back into the tank, with a wave of his wand, bars came across the top of the tank barring any unauthorised exit, Harry gripped the bars and scowled at the Dark Lord.

Voldemort stormed into his study walking past Evelda and sat in his chair in front of the fire.

"Evelda! Collect the dominants semen and impregnate the sub, I am tired of waiting for nature to take its course!"

"Yes my lord" Evelda smirked tapping the side of the tank with a large sharp fingernail.
