Harry went searching for Pandora a short while after
she ran out of the Great Hall. Hermione tried to
persuade him to not meddle and she’ll come back to her
senses and come back to the Gryffindor table soon
enough. That wasn’t good enough for Harry and he
bounded out of the Great Hall. He followed the sound
of footsteps and spotted the flash of blonde hair as
it streaked out of the entrance to Hogwarts.

He lost sight of them as soon he got outside but went
on his instinct to choose a direction to search. He
knew he was in the right direction when he found
Pandora’s Gryffindor tie. He was completely shocked at
what he saw when he neared the black lake. Draco was
on top of a mermaid, but she didn’t look like one of
the Black Lake’s mermaids… Merlin it’s Pandora! He
yelped. He couldn’t move, only stared as Draco was
groping her all over. His jaw clenched in anger and
gripped his wand in his hand.

Before Draco could get up from the ground Harry had
him in his sights. “Get off of her Malfoy!” he
threatened, his wand aimed right for Draco. “Harry!”
Pandora gasped as she tried to cover her tail up
unsuccessfully. Draco let out a low growl and turned
slowly to face Harry. “She’s my witch, well my mermaid
now Potter” he spat out as he stared Harry down. Harry
stepped closer to them and stared down at Pandora in shock.

Her face flushed and she looked at the ground. Draco
grabbed his robes and covered her up. “you’ve got
impeccable timing you know that” he snarled as he
wrapped her up in the robe. “Pandora are you ok?”
Harry said as he stepped closer to her. Draco blocked
Harry and stood in front of her. “She doesn’t want you
here Potter”. Harry would be damned if Malfoy thought
he owned Pandora and would tell him what to do.
Draco’s fury boiled over at Potter’s interruption and
though he wasn’t mad at Pandora for wearing Potter’s
pin, he was livid with Harry for giving it to her.

Harry got right in Draco’s face “you don’t own her so
don’t put words in her mouth” he said as he shoved
Draco’s shoulder. Draco’s temper was legend and before
he could even process what Harry was saying he punched
the raven haired Gryffindor right in the face.

Harry grabbed his nose, blood spurting all over his
white button up. He lunged at Draco and tackled him to
the ground. Pandora didn’t have time to think, she was
still horrified that Harry had found out she was a
mermaid. She watched in horror as the two seekers
attacked each other with full force. A purple bruise
was blooming over Draco’s eye and Harry’s cheek was
bleeding from where Draco’s ring had connected with
his cheek.

When Draco had pinned Harry to the ground and started
strangling him, Pandora came to her senses. “STOP
IT!!!” she wailed as her legs kicked from under the
robe. She tossed Draco’s robe off of her and grabbed
her pearled white wand from her jacket. She grabbed
Draco by the shoulders and tried to tug him off of
Harry. Draco tried to take another swing at Harry when
his elbow swung back and accidentally connected with
Pandora’s stomach.

She felt the air get knocked out of her as she got
knocked onto her back on the grass. She saw stars as
she grabbed her bare stomach. Draco heard her gasp and
knew what he did the second his arm smashed against
her soft skin. He released Harry instantly and tried
to scramble over to her. Harry saw Draco’s arm crash
into her and was livid, he was pummeling on Draco
again in an instant. Pandora felt dazed but jumped to
her feet “PACIFY!” she shouted as she took aim at the
two furious wizards.

Harry and Draco instantly stilled and Pandora pried
them apart. She stood between them with rage
flickering in her eyes, she looked like Athena,
Goddess of War, with her bare breasts and rippling
hair, as she had her wand aimed at the two. Draco and
Harry were at her feet staring up at her with dumb
struck expressions. She had used this charm before,
but only once and was not sure it worked on humans.
The pacify charm was always used on rogue sharks that
would threaten their kingdom.

Draco saw the bruise blossoming on her stomach and
felt his own stomach drop with guilt. He brought his
hand over the bruise “Pandora… I didn’t mean to” but
she cut him off with a swift and powerful smack across
the face. She smacked Harry across the face as well
before she walked over to her pile of clothes and
started to dress.

Harry stared in awe of her, not sure what he should do
next. Draco felt where she had smacked him with his
hand, of all the punches and probably the broken rib
Harry gave him, her sharp little smack felt like it
did the most damage to him. He knew he acted like an
animal and knew how much she hated violence, though
she could deliver a serious blow. She dressed quickly
and shot the two wizards and icy stare as they stood
watching her. Though she squared her shoulders and
commanded their attention, Draco could tell she was on
the verge of tears.

“I thought I would be able to have you both as lovers,
you both agreed to it, but I guess I was wrong, I
won’t ask anything from either of you anymore” she
said as she stormed past them. Draco and Harry
exchanged a confused expression.
