Midnight Wanderings// Drarry

Chapter 24- The Giant Squid

Getting a babydaddy is 0/10 I do not recommend.

Draco's P.O.V.

When we reached the largest tree near the black lake Harry immediately started undressing. 

I didn't think we'd be stripping down to our briefs, so I stood and watched as Harry undressed. I realized how creepy I was being, so I turned away with a blush on my face. When Harry had completely undressed, he looked back at me and laughed.

"Well undress Draco," Harry said with a smirk. "You'll freeze if you don't."

How would he know that?

I wouldn't let Potter think I had anything to be insecure about, so I quickly undressed myself. When I confidently stared back at Harry, he didn't look flustered like I thought he would. Instead, he looked upset.

His eyes were glued to my chest. That's when I realized I forgot to place the disillusionment charm. I quickly walked towards the lake and pretended like it didn't happen. 

Harry, walking at a much slower pace, followed behind me. When he reached my side, he stopped and said, "How'd you hide it last time?"

I looked at him, wondering why that's what he'd ask.

"That's from the sectumsempra I gave you, isn't it? So why wasn't it there last time?"

Oh, so he already knew. 

"Yes it is. I usually hide it. It is quite unsightly, don't you think?" I responded with a fake air of confidence. I awaited his answer eagerly.

"No, it's not ugly." He paused and when he spoke again his voice sounded strained. As if he couldn't properly express how sorry he really was. "I'm so sorry Draco. I'm so sorry."

I laughed and bumped into his shoulder. "Don't worry about it, Harry. We're even anyways." I flicked the scar that ran through his lightning bolt. "Scarhead."

I quickly flushed and looked away at the endearing insult- or at least that's what it meant to me now. That scar was a symbol that showed we are mates. To me, it will always be a beautiful thing. But Harry doesn't know that's what it is, so I don't understand why I'm acting like I just confessed my love for him. Because I definitely don't love him. Just the thought makes me . . .

"1,2,3, Go!" I quickly say and the water splashes as I dive in. 

I feel relieved as my burning cheeks cool down from the cold water. The chilly fall weather made the water ice cold but being half fish, I wasn't bothered.

I was right about the water being too murky to see in. That is if you didn't have eyes of a Siren to see through the dark waves. It was a smart idea to challenge Harry to a swimming race, I already had so many benefits. It was very Slytherin of me, though.

I wanted to mentally cheer when I realized how far ahead I was. And I didn't even have to shift.

When we were nearly halfway to the halfway mark we'd discussed on the walk over, my excitement quickly diminished when I realized how fast Harry actually was. I kicked mercilessly to no avail as he passed me by. He couldn't even see where he was going and yet he was still winning easily. 

Saint Potter. Even the water Gods favored him. I inwardly rolled my eyes but deep down I was impressed too. I couldn't blame them. 

My extra body mass I'd gained after my inheritance did me no favors as Harry reached the halfway point and turned back around. He was beating me.

I decided to wait and give him a head start so that he'd be far enough away, there'd be no possible way for him to see me shift. After only a few seconds I shifted into the Siren I truly was. My face sharpened and my shining silver scales showed on my shoulders and legs. My tail was long and had very many fins simply there for looks.
