I look up and can't quite tell what he's thinking. I swim closer to the edge and look him in the eyes.

"You... You're.." he stutters looking at me. "You're half fish. I don't understand."

I already showed him my tail I might as well show him everything. I lift my hand up for him to take. "Do you trust me?" I asked meeting his gaze and not looking away.

It was a minute or two before finally he takes my hand in his and nods his head. "You're going to get wet," I said pulling him into the water next to me.

When he resurfaces I take his hand in mine. "You're going to have to swim and hold your breath for as long as you can." I told him before going under and swimming to the moon pool entrance only a few meters down.

I feel his hand in mine and see him following. I swim inside and when I get to the other side I resurface. When he comes up he looks around curiously.  

"Where are we?" he asked lifting himself out of the water and sit on the edge.

The moon pool was inside one of the cliffs. It's completely closed off except for the underwater entrance and the top where you could see the moon pass.

"The moon pool," I said simply. I lift myself up so my arms are on the edge next to his legs. "This is where I was at the start of the year."

"I don't understand still," he said disbelief in his voice. "You're a wizard, but also half fish."

"I'm a hybrid. That's why nobody knows except you and Dumbledore what I really am. I wasn't supposed to happen," I finished quietly. "My mother is a mermaid while my dad was a wizard. My mom ventured on land met him and I happened."

"So you knew about wizards this entire time?" he asked suspiciously. "Why did you need my help then?"

"My mother made sure our pod didn't know about my dad. I grew up in the ocean as a mermaid. Sometimes my dad would come visit and I would sneak away to talk to him. I only studied mermaid magic not wizard magic."

"Wait you can do your own magic? Can I see?" his eyes lit up when he asked.

I chuckle and slowly go back into the water. I hold my hand out and turn it every so often to make a medium sized ball of water.

I see his eyes grow big and I use my other hand to freeze it and throw the now ice ball to the rock behind me.

"So that's how you made that ball of ice," he said amused then his expression turned dark. "Why did you try and hit me with it?"

"You were close to seeing my tail and I didn't know if I could trust you then or not," I said simply looking at him. "I can show you more if you want."

He nodded his head clearly excited to see. I laugh and stick out my hand again and make a little wand out of the water and turned it to jelly then hardened it.

I swam down to the bottom of the pool as it fell and grabbed it. When I came back up I handed it to Draco.

"So you can basically freeze things turn them to jelly then this," he said holding up the little wand. "And control water. Wicked."

"That's not all," I said and turned invisible for a few seconds then became visible again. "There is a lot I can do."

I could see him clearly surprised by everything I can do. I swim to the ledge next to him and drag myself out of the pool.
