Saved by a Mermaid - larry stylinson

Louis, Louis and Louis

When Harry got home his mother screamed at him. He was hit with the reality of the situation. She screamed about his lateness, his attitude and most of all how he was dripping water all over her carpet.

"How on earth are you this soaked through? It's not even raining, your terrified of the sea. Oh my god it was Lenny wasn't it, that bullying bastard cornered you with a hose or some wet thing, you wait till I phone his mother"

Harry watched as his mother was rumbling on and dialling the number to phone lenny's mother. Without stopping her Harry trotted upstairs dazed. Stripping off his wet clothes in the bathroom he tried to understand how on earth he forgot his fear of water?

* when Harry was six he nearly drowned. With his house right next to he beach and he liked to spend most of his time in he sand. Although he was familiar with the beach, when he went into the sea one day he never countered the sudden storm that spread over the sky in mere seconds. Lost in the drama of it all Harry didn't notice how he current had pulled him in deeper. It didn't take long for Harry to panic, thunder boomed and lightning flashed and it all added to Harry's hysteria. As he started to get yanked under he kicked his legs ferociously, his arms fought against the water surrounding him. A giant wave crashed over Harry. Time passed before he knew it, he was pulled deeper into darkness.*

Lenny was not a happy-chappy. He figured that out as lenny's foot flung out and his face smacked the ground. So unless Lenny thought the ground needed a hug from Harry, he imagined he wasn't happy.

" the hell'd you tell my mother styles!?I'm grounded and got an hours yelling at because of you!"

"It was a misunderstanding, I promise"

"Shut up styles. Get me ungrounded or your face will be meeting a lot more than the snow"

With that Lenny left heading to his mates. Harry groaned before lifting himself up off the floor. After quickly checking his face he went to meet Liam. Trying to think of things He wanted to talk about with Liam was hard. Avoiding the ''meeting a mermaid" topic was killing him. All he wanted to talk about was Louis, Louis and Louis, Liam wanted to talk about maths, Niall falling down the stairs and lunch. 3 hours and 24 minutes till Harry could see louis again. Just 3 hours Harry kept repeating to himself.

He wished he could say time flew by or it went as a normal day, but no. No today had to drag by painfully. When the bell rang home time Harry could have burst out into a chorus of praise . Running out of the room, dodging other students, bursting through the doors, pushing past pedestrians and arriving on the old wood of the pier breathless; Harry laid down his bag, plonked himself down and smiled as Louis swam closer.
