Nessa laughed. "Oh really. And which do you think it is? Human, grindy, squid, merperson, or something completely different." Nessa asked.

"I think... SQUID!" Pippa cried.
"Naw, definately Grindylow." Lessien countered.
"Or maybe-," Gemma started to say, when she was sharply pulled underwater by an unseen force.
Three respective shrieks were heard as Gemma's air bubbles was the only thing left of her above the glassy surface of the lake.
"Oh GOD! What should we do? Where's my wand?" Pippa screamed, but was overlapped by similar cries from the other two.
Finally, Gemma's head broke the surface.
"THAT BASTARD!" She screamed.
Suddenly Liam's head broke the water, but just enough so everyone could only see his eyes.
"He grabbed my ankle!" She said, sending a great splash of water his way. Liam laughed and held an arm up to block the water from his face.

“It was something completely different.” Nessa said with a smirk.
“What?” Liam asked popping his head up just enough to ask. But his question was overpowered by the laughter that followed her comment. Her emerald eyes twinkled with mischief her silver rims flashing the way they did when she was pleased with herself.
“Poor Liam has no idea what is going on.” Lessien smirked.
“Would not be the first time I imagine.” Nessa ended smiling at her.

"Of course, at least I have a reason," he smirked turning back to Gemma. "I was just so bewitched by your beauty, darling."
Gemma rolled her eyes. "I doubt that."
Liam raised his eyebrows. "You don't believe me?"
"No, I don't," she answered. "Because you'd say anything to aggrivate me."
He smiled. "Well, maybe I might mean it."
"I think you should get over yourself." Gemma didn't like where this was going. Turning about, her eyes scanned the water. "So, where is your parnter and crime?"
Liam's eyes twinkled like they did, and he chuckled. "Wouldn't you like to know..." he looked toward Pippa and laughed. "Or maybe you would, rather."
Liam's eyes went to shore, and he suddenly let out a laugh.
"What?" Lessien asked suspiciously.
"Oh nothing, to worry over fair Lark." He answered shaking his head side to side like a dog coming in from the rain. His black hair fell in wavy tresses about his eyes and he grinned devilishly as the girls got caught up in talk once more. He swam over to Pippa from behind and whispered, "My, my, Little Sparrow, look yonder shore."
Pippa didn't realize what was happening until she had been caught staring. It was Garron...undressing...to come swim...
Undressing.
Pippa's cheeks enflamed like two hot air balloons.
She gasped out loud, forgetting herself just as all the other girls started to turn...
"LESSIEN, LOOK OUT!" Liam shouted, all the girls turning back around to look at Lessien.
She gasped too, looking wildly around...
...at nothing.
"You prick!" Gemma accused, Lessien glaring madly at him.
"That was so uncalled for!" She snapped.
He laughed, "It's good to be alert isn't it?"
"How alert are you, then?" Gemma asked coyly just as she started swimming toward him, wand in her hand, prepared...
"You don't want to do that, Sunshine." He said laughing.
She stopped short. "...why not?" she asked cautiously.
"Becuase, you wouldn't want to curse a guy when he's naked!"
All the girls screamed and gasped.
"AHHH!"
When Liam started laughing tears, they quieted down. Gemma glared, Pippa still in slight shock by the whole Garron stripping thing...
Lessien said in a flat voice. "You've got to be joking."
"You think I'd actually do that?" He asked. "No, my dear Lark, sorry to disappoint you."
"Where did you say Garron-?" Lessien didn't finish as Garron came out of no where, landing a perfect cannon ball in the middle of their party, making a tidalwave of a splash on everyone.
"...found him..."

Pippa let out a giant spew of water. "That was lovely, Garron," She said, sarcasm dripping from her voice.
"Thank you," He said. "I thought so too." Garron's hair was over his eyes. He flipped his hair back so the people behind him got another delightful spray of water from his hair.
Nessa made a dissaprooving "tch" noise out of the back of her throat...
But Pip was much too busy looking at Garron's shoulders... which happened to be very broad...

"Do you two have really nothing else better to do?" Gemma muttered brushing hair out of her face.
"We wouldn't want to dissapoint you," Garron said, though looking at Pippa.
"Oh, I assure you both," Gemma said, spotting a sudden brilliant idea walking along the shore. "You wouldn't." Spinning in the water, Gemma removed her sweater, leaving her in a scarlet wife beater and tying it about her waist. She smiled, taking a hair tie and pulling her curls back into a bun that left a couple to brush her neck, her skin like alabaster and with a peaches and cream tint.
Lessien scoffed out a laugh, Pippa giggling like mad with Nessa as Gemma swam proudly towards the shore, smiling when she stopped just enough to still be able to float.
The boys looked at her, smiling like fools they were. Garron glanced at Liam, who was watching with a great amount of curiosity and wry.
"Hello," she greeted in a bubbly flirtatiousness. "Want to come join us? We're awfully lonely..." she batted her dark eye lashes, smiling with beautiful dimples that just seemed to light up her face.
She knew they couldn't say no-not to this high dollar charm.
She didn't have to look back to know that the girls were probably laughing their buts off, and she only wished she could turn around to see the looks on the boys' faces...

Pippa noticed that Liam looked simply taken aback by Gemma.
He had probably expected her to swoon over his manly charms. But... she had proved that she wasn't his puppet. Pippa wanted to scream "PWND!" at the top of her lungs.
Hmm... she wondered...
She sent Garron a sly smile and slowly swam up to the bank, where the boys were tripping over themselves to join them. Somehow Pippa had caught the attention of a very good looking boy, and she was making a very big show at laughing at his jokes- no matter how asinine they were.
Garron looked like he would like nothing better than to punch the younger boy out.

"You're in Griffindor, aren't you?" Taylor Niapssa, a Slytherin, asked in what he must have thought was a husky voice. It sounded to Gemma like he was trying to clear his throat.
"Yeah, I am." She said in return, pointing her lashes down coyly. "I'm Gemma Darling."
"I'm Pippa Thropp." Pip said too, toward a guy by the name of John Salmon, also a Slytherin.
"We've seen you around," John said as the two girls waded.
Back in the lake, Nessa and Lessien whispered to each other. "This is a total battle of the sexes." Lessien chirped filled to the brim with excitement.
"Look at Liam!" Nessa giggled.
The Irish heartbreaker looked like he was ready to take a shovel to their heads. Garron was not much better, only by the fact he seemed hurt while Liam seemed jealous...or rather, they were not seeming-they were.
Then, something happened. A spark ignited within the autumn brown depths of Liam's eyes. A smirk grew on his lips, and he turned to Garron and winked.
"Uh oh." Both girls chorused.
Liam swam towards the girls who were shamelessly flirting with the boys on the shore bank. His defined arms were muscular, and his broad shoulders were tanned slightly, enough to make him look less white. However Garron was totally tanned.
Liam expertly swam behind Gemma, and wrapped both arms around her from behind. He whispered into her ear, "Hello, Sunshine."
...and that was not faux husky That was husky.
Gemma shivered involuntarily, trying to wriggle away. "What are-?"
"I hope I didn't make you that mad, nightingale." He said in a reasoning tone. "I didn't mean it."
Gemma was so deep in shock, she could only stare at him.
Meanwhile-
"Pippa," Garron said, playing off of Liam. "Don't do this to me." His hands wrapped around her wrists and Pippa's eyes widened.
Oh my God...
The next thing she knew, Garron Asher Darling was kissing her. HER! PIPPA THROPP WAS BEING KISSED BY ONE OF HOGWARTS' BIGGEST HEARTHROBS!
...and all she could do was slump in the water.
Gemma let herself space off when Liam pulled her back against him. He gave both boys a warning glare. "I hope you don't mind our intrusion."

He was warm. He was warm against the coldness of the water. He was almost completely naked. They were swimming in a lake with a giant squid in it. Complete with grindylows and a colony of merpeople.
Pippa simply couldn't care less that six people were watching them, or that there were horrors in the lake that she had never dreamed of...
No. Instead she thought of how great it was, yet how strangely wierd, the sensation was of Garron's and her lips connected again and again and somehow he managed to lift her up so she was slightly above him...
This, my dear friends....
Was darn near heaven.

As soon as it had started, the strayed thoughts had ended. Gemma suddenly thrashed herself out of Liam's arms, flinging herself forward. She spun around, looking at him with a glare.
"What!" She shouted, more than asked.
"Nothing," he shruged. "It's just-Oh my, my, my." Liam suddenly started to laugh, rubbing his face. "This is...interesting."
"What-?" Gemma looked in his direction to see her best friend and brother kissing. Garron. Pippa. Kissing.
And it seemed they were both enjoying it.
Nessa and Lessien swam up close to Liam and Gemma, laughing hysterically. Lessien and Gemma both gave "Woop WOOP!"s
Liam shook his head when the kiss ended, sadly enough as it seemed to amuse him. "Sparrow and the Hawk, how interesting."
"Garron!" Gemma exclaimed, floored.
He gave a sheepish grin, Pippa looking like she'd been reduced to a coma of dream land unconsciousness. She seemed to be very content at the moment.
"You know what? Maybe it's better that, erm..." Garron tapped a finger to his chin. "That we don't talk about this."
Liam raised one dark eyebrow sardonically. "Really? You're not going to tell us what your little rendevous was just then?"
Garron gave his friend a flat look. "Hardly."
"Oh leave them alone!" Gemma said as they waded back to the deep water, the sun warming the small laps of waves comfortably. "Stop picking on them."
"Oh, you do try to take away my fun don't you, little nightingale?" Liam asked, sighing a smile.
"If it will make you go away-"
"It won't." He chirped grinning with dimples now.
She rolled her icy eyes, her arms taking smooth strokes like a mermaid through the water. "I thought as much."
As Pippa and Garron waded back into the water, they didn't say anything. Their hands held clasping eachother's was enough for now.

Nessa and Lessien stared on hardly able to contain the smiles beaming on their faces.
"Its too bad Draco is not here for you." Nessa smirked. "He would probably be too happy to compete with that." She laughed at the look on Lessien's face.

Lessien looked at Nessa, her mouth hanging open, "Dont' say things like that. He would sooooo have to outdo those two. Not to mention show the other Slytherin boys how a Slytherin really gets the girl. Geez, you know what, that's not very funny. If Draco knew I was in the lake without him he would, well, he would be a little tiffed at me. You know it's slightly dangerous in here and he feels that only he can 'protect' little ole me." She rolled her eyes, "Besides how would you feel if Aiden showed up anyway."
Nessa blushed slightly before laughing, "You're a little too worried about Draco being mad."
"Pfft. You haven't seen him mad. He wouldn't leave my side for days." She smirked, "Not that I would find that necessarily a bad thing." She laughed and dove under the water knowing Nessa wouldn't be far behind her.

The drama with Garron and Liam was funny to watch Nessa mused as she swam after Lessien. And it looked as if two of her good friends were going to-eventually dive into the dating world. Though it already looked as though Pip and Garron had come to a- silent and very mutual agreement. She smiled swimming deeper to catch up with Lessien until the two decided to go back to the surface. When Nessa surfaced she laughed-
"Lessien- its Draco!" She called still laughing. She watched Lessien pale slightly then smile prettily when she saw him there.
She was going to say something else, but she was never able to begin for she felt something long and slimy wrap around her ankle her own words flashed through her mind as she felt herself being pulled under.
"Human, grindy, squid, merperson, or something completely different?"
From the sharp pain that went through her ankle as whatever it was constricted it's grip like a snake, she had a feeling whatever it was it was not human.

As she watched Nessa being pulled under Lessien started to call to the others when she felt something on her ankle and she was soon being pulled under as well. Underwater she watched Nessa fight to pull something off her ankle. Bending she did the same trying to get herself free to help her friend. Blinking she knew if they didn't get free soon, they wouldn't be able to at all. Even now she could feel unconsciousness calling as her head throbbed from lack of oxygen. Damnit, why wasn't it letting go. How were they going to get free if no one had wands on them? Soon things were beginning to go black.

Gemma heard Liam talking to the Slytherin boys, but when her head rolled to rest on his shoulder, she saw something move out of the corner of her eye, towards the lake. Turning fully, Gemma was able to see the top of Lessien's head as she was ripped under water.
Her eyes widened. She scrambled out of Liam's arms, flounding to get through the water. "LESSIEN!"
Garron turned around when he saw his sister heading under water. Pippa looked around with sudden terror. "Where's Nessa!?"
"Gemma, don't!" Liam dove under water when the black haired, ice colored eyed girl he came to admire so much disappeared under the black water.
