Charity poked the egg wondering what could be inside she was in the ROR waiting for Severus to come back from a meeting and Taerel was in another room speaking to his grandfather about Sirius and Remus and what they wanted to do with him after the tournament she could hear them arguing and it wasn't pleasant on her sensitive ears that she kept hidden from them she knew she had to tell them but how
"You're thinking to hard" said Severus as he sat down this made her jump which resulted in the egg falling over opening the sound... oh it was awful and she covered her ears the best she could while Severus closed it back up again
"Little Berry do not hide who you are when you are with us" said Taerel as he came in after finishing his conversation with his grandfather
"Hiding what do you mean?"
Severus looked over and padded her head, "ears?"
She hid her face with a cushion she found she didn't want them to know
Taerel looked at the egg and smiled if she didn't want to talk about he wasn't going to push but he has a feeling something was up if she was this defensive with who she was
"No the egg it seems like it is Merish..."
"Merish?" asked Charity to him not understanding
"Mermaids my Little Berry it seems that the task is to do with them but what I do not know what it could be shall we find out?"
"How do we do that Trell?" she asked him blushing at the nickname he had given her
"Very simple my Little Berry we just need water to hear them and I know where the best place to find out" he smiled at her and then quick as anything he kissed her making her blush so much this in turn made Severus laugh "do not think you are above yourself Severus...."
The man eeped as he too was kissed making Taerel smile at it all he loved that he got so embarrassed easily him being a Dark Veela had its perks but being kissed that was different
"Let us go to the bathroom and put it into the water so we can hear it shall we?" he looked at them smiling both were blushing so much he could tell that the glamour on Charity was slipping but it still stayed in place it looked like he had to earn her trust even more before she showed them what she really looked like
They ended up in the Perfects bathroom as it was much bigger plus Hogwarts lead them there as she really liked Taerel he made her smile at how Dumbles was being played
Hogwarts herself let the water flow into the bath and Taerel smiled as he got in clothes and all and opened up the egg as he placed it under the water
It sang to him
Come seek us where our voices sound
We cannot sing above the ground
And while you're searching, ponder this:
We've taken what you'll sorely miss
An hour long you'll have to look
And recover what we took
But past an hour- the prospect's black
Too late, it's gone, it won't come back
He popped his head up above the water looking at Charity and Severus as the younger braided the others hair again it seemed that it was calming for other to have his hair played with he laughed somewhat as he got out his clothes bone dry
"How are you clothes still dry?" he asked not caring that Charity was again braiding his hair at least she was making sure it stayed hidden he didn't even care that a charm was placed in it
"Charms Little Snake, charms"
"Ah explains everything do you know what's happening with the egg?"
"Some what I will have to ask Grandfather and Grandmother about it all and see what they think about it but I will place a charm on you two just in case it said that something would be taken from me and you two are very important to me" he took their hands and gently pulled them to the dressing rooms, the elves had put in their swim wear
"Get changed and we can relax here before anyone comes and tries to find me as I know those three will try and find me again" he sighed as he changed and before long he was in the bath soaking
"No as good as the one at home but it is still nice Little Snake, Little Berry are you going to join me?"
Severus came out in Slytherin green shorts and Charity peeked around not sure
"Charity?" asked Taerel to her it was the first time he had called her by her real name for a while now she was nervous but didn't know why until she hid again a tail hiding
"Charity my love are you scare at what we think about you and you being a creature? do no be we are all creatures after all we except each other"
"No!" she screamed and cried
"Barnaby please can you help Charity with her glamour it appears it has slipped and she's nervous"
With a snap the glamour was replaced and she felt somewhat better and so she slowly came out
"Sorry..."
"Do not be when you are ready show us we will not push you into telling us"
"That's right Charity even as your teacher I won't ever push a student to reveal something so personal like that" said Severus as he put his wet hair up into a messy bun the charm on full view it was a fox
"Very pretty charm Severus" said Taerel as he watched Charity get in but after that he let her be
"This is nice and relaxing" said Charity as she put her hair up as well smiling when she was the charm hanging there in the braid she had done it seems like he was keeping it there for the time being and she blushed
"I like it Charity thank you for it as well as hiding it from view it means it's extra special and just for me" said Severus to her making her blush even more
"You're very welcome Sir..."
"Severus or Sev in private Charity I don't mind"
"S...Se.....Sev" she blushed so much she passed out
"Note to self do not make her blush so much in a hot bath" said Taerel to Severus as they helped her out of the bath and asked Barnaby to change her and bring her back to the ROR to rest and recover
.........
