Draco watched Lessien's face as she smiled slightly and frowned. She knew he didn't like her doing all these dangerous things without him. At least when he was around she'd be safe. But no, she insisted she was a big girl and could handle herself. As he watched her open her mouth with a fearful expression he started towards the water, taking off his robe along the way, just knowing she had gotten into something again. Shaking his head as he walked he quickly started to run as he watched Lessien get pulled under water. Paying no attention to anyone else, let alone the other Gryffindor girls yelling he dove under water after his girlfriend rapidly. When he didn't see anything he quickly dove up top and shouted, "Throw me my wand!" The others just stared at him and he growled, "Anyone for Merlin's sake, just toss it!!"
Salmon ran to Draco's robes afraid of what the other boy would do should he ignore him. Riffling through the cloak he quickly found the wand and tossed it to the older boy.
"Lumos." Lighted wand in hand Draco swam back under water to begin his search for Lessien knowing that he couldn't be too late. He refused to fail. Not at this.
OOC: Okies, someone else now.

"Lessien! Nessa!" Pippa screamed.
She ran to the bank, cursing the clothes that were dragging her speed down. She grabbed three wands, and headed back to the lake. After throwing them to both boys, Pippa preformed a bubble head charm and quickly dived underwater to search for her abducted friends.
Who had taken them?
Soon she saw Nessa- a grindylow had wrapped its horrible, clawed hand around her ankle, attempting to drag her down.
Nessa's eyes were closed, and the fight had gone out of her.
Oh God. Pippa had never been very good at Defense Against the Dark Arts... but didn't professor Lupin say...
Yes, hot water!
Pippa carefully aimed, and then let out a steam of scalding hot water to Nessa's captor. It released her immediantly and swam away. Pippa grabbed Nessa's hands and desperately swam to the surface...
But her bubble charm was losing strength... and she was losing air...

Catching the wands Pippa tossed them, Garron and Liam quickly dove under water. As Liam went in search for Gemma, Garron stayed somewhat behind Pippa.
~~~~~~~
Pippa blinked as she tried to keep ahold of Nessa as her bubble charm faded. When something grabbed Nessa out of her grasp she tried to get her again, fighting the unknown, when her bubble popped.
~~~~~~~
Garron frowned as he saw a shadow headed towards Pippa and picked up his pace. Pointing his wand he was about to shout out a spell when he realized Pippa's charm was failing. Anxious and determined now he felt nothing but relief when he realized it was just Chekhov and grabbed Pippa about the waist.
OOC: Hope that was okay?

Gemma held her breath for a good amount of time, before she started to blow small air bubbles. Now that she was running the charm through her head, she could perform it perfectly. It was a good thing too, because it seemed as if the entire colony of Grindylow wanted to come about and mess with them. An entire family continued to pull at Gemma-her ankles, her long hair, scratching up her arms. She kicked at them to get them far enough to cast the spell.
More seemed to keep coming though!
When she looked back, she saw Pippa swimming up with Nessa. Good, she thought. Let's get out of here.
However when Gemma tried to turn, a Grindylow would grab her and start to pull. She coudn't move without being tackled. She was technically, what some might call-trapped.

As Garron swam up to the top he couldn't help but send a little prayer that his sister was safe. If Liam didn't save her not only would his own guilt kill him, but so would Garron. Once he made it to shore he tried to examine Pippa who was pushing him away and trying to get back in the water. "You aren't going anywhere."
"Get off of me. My friends are still in there." She refused to quit trying knowing that Gemma, Nessa, and Lessien were still down in the dark waters.
"Liam is going after my sister Pippa, and Aiden has Nessa already. He's using that Muggle CPS on her. See?"
"CPR Garron. It's called CPR, not CPS, and what about Lessien?"
"Malfoy jumped in after her." He gave an exasperated sound when Pippa tried to get back in the water again, "Stop that!"
"Bite me you jerk. Gemma and Lessien are still down there and until they come back..." Pippa took a shaky breath.
"You're welcome," Garron stated dryly. "You must trust Liam and yes, even Malfoy. He seems to care about your friend a great deal." He snorted, "He must hate that it shows."

Off in the distance, she saw Liam carry Gemma to the shore, as well as Draco and Lessien, as Aiden and Nessa's head broke the glassy surface of the water.
Pippa couldn't help but smile at Garron.
"You've known him longer than I have," Garron said, turning to look at Pip in the face. He looked agitated. "Do you think he is serious about her?"
"Gemma?" Pip said, with a half smile. "I've never seen him more determined in his life."
Garron swallowed. "That's what I was afraid of."

Gemma violently coughed up huge swallows of water. She felt patting on her back, and it became easier to breath after she was done coughing. She sank into the ground, sighing into the wet grass. Her limbs felt like they might fall off.
Her voice came up to be hoarse. "Are they gone?" she asked weakly.
He nodded. She didn't have to look up to know he did, she just knew. She sighed with a shaky breath into her arm. "That happened so fast..." She sniffled. "Thank God it's over."

Nessa coughed up water and opened her eyes, "Aiden? What are you doing here?"
"Rescuing a damsel in distress." He smiled, "That would be you my dear."
Nessa would have blushed if she had any energy. Trying to sit up she frowned when she found that she couldn't. At first she thought she was paralyzed and looked down only to see a restraining hand on her legs. "I need to sit up." She stated for his benefit and was glad to see the hand move, but surprised to see it go under her legs to pick her up, "What are you doing now?"
"I am moving you so you can sit up." He gave a short bark of laughter at the look on her face, "Just let me do this. Consider it my thank you gift for saving you." Nothing more was said as Aiden moved Nessa easily into his arms so that he could sit behind her and then sat her back down.
"Umm, where are the girls?" Nessa asked quietly.
"Let's see, Garron saved Pippa around the time I found you. While I did CPR, Liam found Gemma and Draco found Lessien. He's doing his own form of CPR right now actually."
Nessa frowned darkly, "Lessien isn't awake? Is Gemma okay?"
"Gemma is coughing so I think she's okay, but then again, she isn't moving out of Liam's arms so I could be wrong. Lessien is awake. Draco is performing his umm, special CPR on her." He tilted his head in wonder, "At least I hope that's what he's doing as it appears his face has merged with hers."
Nessa smiled softly, "He was worried."
"Yes." Aiden stroked her hair softly, "He was very worried."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lessien pushed Draco away so she could breathe, "Geez Draco, I almost drown in that lake and now you're making me suffocate."
Draco frowned, "You know," He took a deep breath to calm his anger, "I knew something like this was going to happen when I saw you in that lake without me."
Caressing his face she leaned towards him to lay her forehead on his chest, "It didn't happen because you weren't in the lake Draco. It happened because something was after Nessa and the rest of us." Looking back up into his eyes, she took a shaky breath, "It would have happened if you were in the water as well. Then who would have rescued me?"
"I would have."
She grinned, "That would have been hard if you didn't have a wand."
Shrugging he simply replied, "I would have found a way."
"I love you," she stated matter of factly.
"And I you troublemaker." He replied causing her to laugh. As he clasped her to him he tried to make himself believe it was her who was shaking at the thought of her demise, barely registering her muttered, "You're the troublemaker of this duo."

Nessa put a hand to her aching head and closed her eyes. She could have stayed this way forever. She laughed and could feel Aiden lower his head to look more directly at her.
"They all look so good together." She muttered. "Draco and Lessien, now Garron and Pippa... Liam will have Gemma in no time." She sighed. "It's nice to see them all that way." Aiden smiled.
"Yeah..."
"Aiden, how long were you out here?" Nessa asked.
"I just came out when I saw you go under and Lessien next." He replied. "You scared the shirt off me." He said. Nessa raised her brow and smiled.
"Quite literaly." She said knowing he was not wearing one now, she could see his favorite regular T lieing in a heap not to far away. He laughed.
"Witty even when you should be resting."

Gemma collapsed on the wet ground, flipping onto her back. Liam stared down at her, sitting beside her, leaning on one hand.
"So," he said, pulling a straight face. "Are you going to make it?"
She reached up and swept a loose tendril from her face. "Yes, I believe so." She said in a sigh, trying to calm herself after coughing.
He nodded. "Good. It seems Pippa is okay-and Lessien is..." Liam tilted his head wryly. "...preocupied. Nessa seems to be just as well as you are." He turned back to her.
She blinked when she looked up at him. "Thank you for helping me."
His grin seemed forced. "I figured Niapssa wouldn't, he's too much of a weakling to do something that might be considered brave."
Gemma glared. "You're so cynical." She accused.
He smirked, his gaze shifting to the water. "Maybe so."

OOC: I think something...maybe a competition between the boys or something??
"That's it." Lessien declared, "I'm going back in there." With a determined look on her face she headed towards the water only to have Draco pick her up, effectively stopping her forward movement. "Draco, put me down."
"No." He drawled, "I'm afraid you're stuck on dry land."
"Oh really?"
Not paying attention to her tone of voice he nodded, "Yes really." Suddenly she stopped fighting him and he slowly put her down so her feet touched ground. When she took off running he quickly ran after leaving the others to hear him muttering, "Should've known better."

Nessa burst into laughter turning in Aiden’s arms. He smirked as she leaned over his legs to watch Lessien run for it.
“Go Lessien go.” She called giggling. “All these girls here aught to get up and have their guys chase them.” She thought out loud. “Let them know how far they dare follow them.” Aiden put the leg she was not leaning over and put it over her back in a hold. She looked up confused at the gesture and he smiled dashingly.
“But you are going no where.” He said.
“I would not need to.” She told him scanning the others. “No one would chase me.” She said poking him in the stomach. It was as far as she would dare go for now. He still had her unsure of her situation at the moment.

Gemma smiled, "I want to see the squid."
Liam barked, "No you don't!" but she could hear the desperate exhaustion in his answer.
She giggled. "Yes I do!"
"...as surely as I'm begging, no you don't."
"Ok, fine, but I want to go see Pippa." She answered, getting up and brushing off Liam's hand. He rolled over in the grass, feeling totally bombed with exhaustion as he watched her walk...then about half way turned and walked out into the water as if he'd never said anything.
"Bloody hell." He whispered.
"Pippa, come on!"
He slapped his face to his palm.
