“Isn’t this amazing, Dobby? A real human ship, right above us! We should go and see it

“Isn’t this amazing, Dobby? A real human ship, right above us! We should go and see it.

“Okay, but Luna–”

I didn’t let my fishy friend finish. Kicking my white tail, I propelled myself to the surface where I could see the huge bottom of a ship.

“Luna! Wait!”

Dobby busily tried to follow me, but with his small fins, I beat him quite easily. I let my head break the surface, and I sucked in a breath of fresh air.

In the back of my mind, I wondered briefly why merpeople could breathe above and below the water, but I pushed the thought away when I focused on the ship. It was quite pretty, all made of wood with delicate carvings and paint yet to have been worn out by the sea. The ship was newly made.
Even prettier were the lights on the ship. And the music! Strands of floating lights lit up the ship, and the up beat music set the tone for a nice party. I’d never heard music so sharp sounding before. In my home under the water, the music sounds soft and quiet, but here, it was like one of Fawkes’s concerts right up close to my head. 

In a few words, I quite liked it. I started to swim closer just as Dobby surfaced.

“L-Luna! Wait–Up…”

Dobby choked out between deep breaths. He was obviously having trouble keeping up.

“Luna, I don’t think we should get any closer! What if–”

“Oh, Dobby! Don’t be such a Guppy. Let’s go!”

Despite his continuing protests, I swam closer to the ship until I could reach the wooden ladder running up the side. I pulled myself up until I could see on the deck.

There were so many humans! They were all dancing around to the beat of the sharp music, having a cracking time. There was even an adorable shaggy dog that looked like a mop. I knew from one of the books I have hidden in my grotto that it was a sheepdog. One human who was dancing around suddenly picked the dog up by its two front paws and started to dance with it like a human!
