With the exception of Mirabella Plunkett in the 1800s, the idea of merfolk and wizarding kind mingling together was unheard of, and otherwise, considered to be taboo. Born to a mermaid and wizard, Nixie Dover is believed to be the first of her kind, half-landish, half-seavish. The morning of her birth, things go awry when her mother is suddenly taken away and forced into exile by seavish matriarchy, leaving her to be raised by her father alone on land.
For the next eleven years, Nixie is raised as a witch, however, life is far from simple. For as long as she can remember, the waters outside of her home call to her. Her father seems drawn to the waves as well, staring at them every morning as if he is waiting for someone. However, the answers start to unravel when her mother reappears and reveals herself to be a mermaid.

Suddenly, the stares and whispers that Nixie has heard throughout her childhood make sense. She is a half-breed, stuck between two worlds where she feels like an outsider. To add to the chaos, Nixie receives her acceptance letter to none other than Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Determined to blend in and hopefully make some friends, Nixie attempts to hide her lineage, but she can only hide who she really is for so long.
Especially when a boy by the name of Sirius Black seems so utterly determined to be part of her world.
Initially, Nixie believes him to be nothing but trouble, but as time progresses, he proves to be much more than a troublemaker. Together, they must face the hardships of growing up, fighting for what they believe in, and hopefully, surviving a war.

Author's Note
Hello, welcome to the first installation of Skinny Dipping with a Mermaid. Before you begin, please note that this book is currently being rewritten. I wrote this book, along with the rest of the Tightly Knit series years ago and looking back on my work I wasn't very happy with it. Since then, I'd like to believe that my writing has grown, and I would like to put my best work forward. Also, since writing the books, more canon information has been released such as the animagus process, so I would like to add more information and scenes. As well as doing my own worldbuilding with my own take on merculture.
During the rewrite, there will be no access to the original version of this story. I will not be reuploading the original version either, that only leads to confusion. There is no set time of when I will complete the rewrite either, but I will be uploading as I got along.
Before I get comments asking, no there is no smut. There are innuendos and implied scenes. So, no, you will not be "robbed."
Either way, I hope you enjoy the new and improved version!
