We moved together towards the waterfall. From the very high point where we were, we didn't know what to do. A leap from there would be tantamount to certain death.
«I was thinking of a spell», Zayn said, «Something that can get us in without having to throw us down, but I'm afraid the water isn't safe, it could be a Spell Eraser»
«So we have no choice?», Jenna asked in a shaky voice.
«I think not», he replied weakly, «But I'm sure I can cast one spell, to avoid falling into the other waterfalls connected to the Dettifoss»
«Comforting», Louis snorted.
«Look», Niall said, «It's getting dark, if we're going to make the first try, we'd better get a move on»
«You're right» I said, «Let's all jump together, get in position», I said as we all spread to the edge of the rocks above the waterfall, «One... two...», I took a deep breath, «Three!»
We jumped into the void. I felt the air beating all over my body and in less than twenty seconds, the violent impact with the cold water. The flow of the water carried me to the bottom, full of rocks. I felt the water enter everywhere, unfortunately I had swallowed it and I was already losing my breath. I gasped trying to stay conscious, and I stroked upward to reach the surface. I pushed my legs to be able to climb on a rock, so I could catch my breath, but I was immediately pushed back in by the power of the waterfall. I coughed as my head resurfaced and I immediately went back under the water, but this time the flow carried me not only underwater, but also further away. I tried to see the figure of some of them, but it was impossible, not only because I continued to be pushed down, but also because by now the sun had gone down and darkness reigned completely.
«Harry!», I heard Zayn's voice, «Hold on!».
I was trying, but I continued to be manipulated like a corpse in water.
My arm hit a stone, a tremendous pain spread across the joint... but still, I tried to resist. Suddenly, I got scared to death when an incredible force, as if it were wind, dragged me upwards. It was like flying, but in a much less elegant way.
«We did it!», I heard Niall exclaim out of breath.
«We didn't do shit», Louis snarled.
I was gently placed on the stones and I coughed to free my lungs from the water, and I caught my breath again. They were all around me, soaked and out of breath.
«We knew the first time would be impossible», I said.
«The times we fail», Zayn added, «They will help us find the passage that will allow us to enter. We know that there are stones at the bottom, which means we have to be careful not to hit them, not with the head at least», he said, looking at my bleeding arm, «Well, I'll always find a way to get you back up here in time»
«Did anyone see anything?», Jenna asked, placing her hand on her hip, to hold her own weight.
«The only thing I saw», Louis said, «Was the water that overwhelmed me»
«No, I'm sorry», Niall replied, «I haven't seen anything at all»
«Neither did I», I said, rising to my feet.
«We can't stop», Zayn exclaimed, «Even though it's more dangerous at night. We have to continue»
We all nodded and took a breath before repositioning ourselves where we were before.
«On three!», Zayn raised his voice, «One... two... three!»
Again we leaped until we ended up in the water. Once again I was sucked into the bottom, but I had every intention of finding that passage as soon as possible, so, I swam directly towards the jet of the waterfall, a very dangerous gesture, my breath was about to fail but I strengthened myself.As soon as I touched the waterfall, I was thrown back and I risked hitting the boulders. This time our attempt lasted much shorter, and again I was dragged upwards, landing on the damp stones.
