Harry P.O.V.
Standing on the deck, with the slimy weed in my hand, I finally knew what I was looking for. Dumbledore had announced that something we treasure is at the bottom of the lake, and we must retrieve it to win. I have no clue what will be down there, maybe my father's cloak of invisibility but I hope not. Mad eye told me to swallow the plant, so I did, I chocked on it for a second, heaving over the railing, being suffocated. I was pushed into the water once the cannon was released and I couldn't breathe at first, I felt openings appear on my neck, my feet turned to flippers, and my hands were webbed.
There was a big drop off I figured I had to go into, since Dumbledore had said the treasure was at the bottom. While swimming around I had heard singing, the same singing I heard in the perfects bath with the egg, I swam towards it. Making my way through the sticky sea weed, I felt paranoid, rightly so because a mermaid swam past me screeching. I decided it best to follow the mermaid because it would lead me to the treasure. I made it to a big archway, I saw humanoid figures, swimming closer I realized they were actual people. The mermaids swam around me whispering pick one. Looking at everyone closely, I saw three people I knew. Cho, which I Cedric just untied with his wand, swimming to the surface with her. Hermione, which I swam to but Krum pushed me away and took her up.
The only two left was this little girl whom I guess is Fleur's little sister, and a cold body which looked even more pale then normal, white hair fanning out above them and a nice suit jacket flowing around the body. Draco was here... but why? I untied Draco, looking around for Fleur but she never came, I pushed Draco up as high as I could and grabbed the girl, immediately the mermaids started swarming me.
"Only one!" They whispered harshly at me, they were yanking me down and digging their nails sharply into my ankles and scratching up my legs. I kicked as many as I could off, I grabbed Draco, who was slowly sinking back down.
I started to swim faster to the top but a couple of mermaids had a hold of Draco's suit, I kicked a few off and then yanked his jacket off, causing them to sink down while we swam upwards. I could feel the effects of the weed Neville had given me warring off. I was losing time. I made it to the top, pulling the girl up first allowing Fleur to grab her, I then pulled Draco up and the crowd went silent, everyone froze, they weren't helping me up. "Damn it! Be surprised later when we don't have the chance of drowning!" I yelled at them, people rushed over and I lifted Draco up to them as much as I could, I started lifting myself onto the dock and Dean pulled me up.
I coughed up little water and Seamus threw me a towel, I wrapped it around myself quickly and the turned over to Draco, who's lips were blue, he was cold to the touch and there was no color to his body. I wrapped my towel around him and grabbed an extra blanket sitting on a near by bench, I covered him with that as well, for extra measure. I had no clue what to do with somebody who almost drowned, luckily I didn't have to do anything, he coughed, spitting out a lot of water. Hermione came over and pushed him on his side, both of us shivering, she sat next to me and wrapped her blanket around the both of us. We sat there hugging for warmth, waiting for Draco to become conscious, and then Ron ran over.
"Bloody hell Harry! Get your own towel, you'll dry faster!" He threw a towel at me, I took it and wrapped it around me, scooting away from Hermione, "Oh, and Malfoy?" He said yelling, "Of all people your precious was Malfoy! What about me I've been your best friend since first year! He's been your rival!" Ron looked down at Draco with disgust, who was now blinking rapidly, I pulled him up into a sitting position, letting him lean on me and fixing the towel and blanket around him. He groaned. "Why the hell would you be Krum's precious 'Mione?" He said, yelling even louder before. Krum turned around and was pulled away by a group of boys surrounding him.
"What about Ginny? Aren't you two dating, if not me then why not her?" Ron was infuriated. I looked up at him and made an attempt at the typical 'Malfoy' face "If she were really my girlfriend she wouldn't have been sharing chap stick with Luna." Ron just scrunched his nose and shook his head, he didn't get it. Hermione turned to me and her jaw dropped.
Malfoy P.O.V.
All I felt was needles, needles everywhere. Next was wet clothes, clinging to me. Every part of me was numb, I felt my lip quivering, my lashes heavy of water. Why the hell do I feel like this? Next, next was the worst pain. The mix of prickling needles, and deep scratches, I feel like I was just stabbed. What the hell happened? I started coughing, quickly realizing I was somehow in a sitting position. I tried opening my eyes but the wind stung, and the water from my eyelashes would fall down and hit my cheek, feeling like a new needle with each drop.
My head hurt, I hadn't realized until I heard the yelling. "Harry! You have got some explaining to do!" The voice sounded familiar, but I couldn't quite put a name to it. Who was yelling at Harry, why Harry, wait, did he do this to me? What did he do, what happened? I started coughing harder this time, spitting up water, I felt something move me, wrapping some cloth around me.
"Ron! Calm down." A female voice was yelling now. "Can't you see, Harry's just as confused as you're. Listen, we don't know why he had to save Draco, but right now is not the time or place to be screaming about it." It was Granger.
I finally managed to open my eyes, only a couple of seconds, I turned my head to the left, trying to block the wind from blowing in my face. When I turned, I was met with a sudden warm feeling. I opened my eyes, seeing a blue cloth, I pressed my face to it. Trying to melt into the warmth but still cold, I could feel my wet shirt clingy to my skin, and my pants weighing my legs down, my entire bottom half was numb.
I groaned, trying to pull the warm figure closer to me, trying to become one with the feeling. I felt it move, repositioning to match with how I was sitting, I was being pulled in close. Another blanket was wrapped around me. I opened my eyes and saw a dark, thick neck. Oh. Oh! I tried pushing myself off but I immediately regret it, a harsh chill went through my entire body, I fell into his chest again, I don't care, I need the heat.
That's when I realized there was no noise, slight movements, whispers, or the wind, I can't be sure. However the people around me weren't talking, I could only hear water, wind, My breathing, Harry's breathing, and a heartbeat. I had thought it was me but I realized I couldn't feel my own pulse, and the beat was coming from the body around me. What now?
"Draco?" A raspy voice whispered into my hair, "Why you?" I closed my eyes, slipping away into the quite.
