"Indeed." Nessa sighed. "So you wonder what?" Nessa asked arching a brow. She was starting to get tired of having a bubble around her head, she felt completely ridiculous, better then drowning she thought. But that wouldn't matter if mr King here decided not to judge in their favor.

"I wonder..." The King began again, now walking in front of them taking a good look at each one of them, like he wanted to know what the were made off. He looked long at everyone, capturing their eyes as though he wanted to look through them, through them as though he was looking through windows to theirs souls and minds. It made Telery very uncomfortable, that cold, blue stare. His eyes were as blue as Dumbledore's, but these did not twinkle, at least not at the moment. "I wonder what really brings you here. Never before have students form the school entered this deep into the lake, and disturbed our peace, at least not without our knowing about it. Students are always stopped before they reach us, either by us or other water creatures."
While he talked the king kept circling in front of them.
"You were all to busy, that's not our fault."
The king stopped in front of Telery as she muttered these words. "But is it? How do we know that you are really what you say you are, and that you have no other motives. It wouldn't be the first time that Deatheaters have infiltrated in our mids. Who is to tell us that you are not?"

"Ooh." Nessa cringed. "Don't say that word again."
"What? Deatheaters?" He asked in a mock tone. Nessa made a face and looked up. A certain few of the guys were very sensitive to that word.
"Yes." She said. She thought a moment. "Who would want to be a Deatheater?" She asked. "That sounds really nasty."
"Enough of that, how are we supposed to prove that we aren't one of them?" Lessien asked.

She watched as the King observed their reaction and waited somewhat impatiently for the answer. "Any day now would be nice. I wasn't kidding when I said we had some impatient guys probably looking for us." Thinking twice she added hastily, "They're not deatheaters either."

Telery quickly swallowed her comment about the Malfoys, knowing this wouldn't be the opportune moment to discuss Draco's family history. "We can prove quite easily that we're no Deatheaters!" She said instead, starting to roll up her sleeve showing her underarm. there was no Dark Mark there.
"That proves you're not A Death Eater. It doesn't prove however, that you do not work for one." The King replied calmly.

Lessien slapped herself on the forehead with her free hand and rolled her eyes, "Just what do we have to do to prove to you we don't work with or for those...things?" She was starting to get angry and could feel the need to smack these merpeople really hard pretty soon if she didn't get answers soon.

OOC: Here I am ;D! Let's see what we can make of it
Telery saw Lessien's face grow redder and redder as anger and irritation filled her from the inside. Something had to be done.
"We know for a fact that there have been Death Eaters, or people who work for them, among us. And now you five, you look like students but how can we be sure that you are. You are not wearing a school uniform." The King continued, not paying attention to Lessien's exclamations.
"Can't you contact Professor Dumbledore? He could tell you the truth." Telery, like all her friends, was getting really frustrated. What ever they said or did, the King did not listen. "Or we could proof that we are loyal to the good side. We could help you find the real spies among your people. You must have realised that those spies are probably merpeople. How could we be the ones who have been spying on you if this is the first time that we've come down here!"

"How do we know that for sure?" The King asked. Nessa let out an aggrivated breath of air.
"For pete's sake!" She shouted angrily. "What do you want us to do to prove we are just ordinary students of Hogwarts?" She asked. The King seemed to be in deep thought for a moment before his expression showed he had made a decision.
"One of you will return to Hogwarts to get a letter from the Headmaster with his signature. While that is taking place, the rest will stay here to try and help find the spies among us. If the one does not return by tomorrow afternoon those here will remain in a cell until I deem worthy of letting them go." He explained. The girls exchanged glances- that didn't sound... to hard?

The King stood in front their little huddle, looking at each of the students, trying to find the perfect one to go to Dumbledore. Telery was hoping not to be picked, the situation was looking up down here, and helping the mer-people find the spies among them, was just the kind of adventure, that she was always looking for.
OOC: are there any volunteers for leaving the lake to go to Dumbledore?

OOC: I'll go considering lol.
The King pointed at Nessa who glared up at him. "You will go above the lake and get the letter from Dumbledoor." He told her. Nessa suddenley felt a weight fall on her shoulders. If she was unable to get that letter before tomorrow afternoon, these guys would be in a cell for who knew how long. She took in a breath. Well, there was plenty of time she supposed. She could hurry and get the letter and return in no time.
"All right fine. But you'll have to let me go, and I will be needing my wand to take care of the whole fact I need to breath under water." She snappe.d

Telery gave Nessa a quick glance of comfort and strength. Three guards were summoned to give Nessa her wand back and escorted here out of the hall.
"Good luck!" Telery hollered over her shoulder at Nessa's slowly disappearing back, they hadn't even gotten time to say goodbye.The king had a quick conference with some other guards. The girls were left in their little huddle.
"Hey people!" Lessien once again made herself heard. "What about us?"
"Yeah," Telery joined Lessien, "I you want us to help you, you'd better release us, we can't help you tied up like this!"
The King considered it, and then, to their great surprise actually gave ear to their exclamations. The guards released them and the king lead them to another room, a conference room. They all sat down and the King looked at them.
"You said that you think the spies or some of our people." The King sounded a little worried.
"Well yeah, why should the mer-people be unaffected if some of every race are effected?"
"That is true. Do you have any idea how to sniff these infiltrators out?"

"Well, perhaps they too will think we work with...him," Lessien stated plainly. "Either that or we'll just get to know people. Our instinct is pretty good."
"Yeah for getting us into trouble," Telery muttered softly causing Lessien to nudge her with an elbow.
"Yes we can do that!" Gemma said excited. "We'll be like those Muggle detectives."
Pippa watched her friends with a smile, "I just have one question." Everyone looked at her, "What happens if one of the boys catches Nessa?"
Lessien frowned, "Then we're basically screwed because Draco will tear this lake apart if he thinks I'm hurt."
"You seem pretty sure of that," Gemma said softly.
"You know Liam will do the same for you." Less smiled, "And I have reason to be."
Telery smiled at Lessien knowing she was right about one thing, Draco would undoubtedly do everything he could if he thought they were in trouble.
