Chapter 5
-------------------
Last time: In his dazed mind, his thoughts centred on one thing only. Well, no wonder it was difficult to stand.
-------------------
He had a tail. A long silvery-blue tail that started a bit under his bellybutton and went on for what seemed like forever. Somewhere in the back of his mind he registered that Blaise was lowering him down on the ground. He started to frantically feel up and down his legs, as if to really make sure that he wasn’t seeing things. The scales felt surprisingly dry and soft, not at all different from the other scales on his body, though what had he expected? The fin felt kind of strange, however. He could feel the muscles that made up the tail and instinctively wondered how fast he would be able to swim with his new addition. Finally Blaise’s voice filtered into his head.
“-get some help! Got to get you safe, can’t stay here, got to get back to the dungeons. You’ve got a tail. I’ll go get Dumbledore, yeah, that’s good, let’s get the head…“ he was rambling and on the verge of a panic attack.
“Blaise…” Draco tried to get the attention of his friend, without success. “Blaise!” The dark eyes of the other boy snapped to his grey eyes immediately and he could see the desperation there. They had got to do something and soon, before someone saw him. He looked down on his fin and tried to get it to move. To his surprise, it responded immediately to his inner demands. For something so large, it lifted easily up off the ground.
“Blaise, you’ve got to help me inside the castle.” He said with finality after a few moments of silence. His friend had come back to his senses and calmed somewhat as he slung Draco’s arm around his shoulders and tried to heave him up. After a few tries, he sat down beside the blond boy. “You’re too heavy, I can’t help you alone.” he said, panting.
“What if we…” Draco hesitated before going on with his idea. “What if we get help from Ron, Harry and Hermione?” He didn’t know if it was a good idea or not, but they desperately needed help immediately and he couldn’t think of anything else. He did not want to get the headmaster involved, or anyone else for that matter.
“All right, that might work. You stay here and I’ll get them.” Draco did not have the time to say anything before Blaise was on his way to the castle and the Gyffindor tower. He sighed as he looked down on himself and his newly acquired tail. He decided he would be safer in the water at the moment, where no one would see what was below the surface.
He carefully made his way down to and into the water, getting the feel of his tail for the first time. From the instant he made contact with water, he could feel how powerful the tail was. It was pure muscle after all. He made a few experimental strokes and felt how he shot forwards several meters. Exited now, he started to swim more, diving up and down in the water and getting the hang of it. He felt as though he could spend more time underneath the surface, although he found out the hard way that he could not breathe under water.
He had become strangely calm after Blaise had left. There was no idea to worry about something that he could not do anything about. Right?
-----------------------------------------
Blaise ran as fast as possible over the grounds of Hogwarts and into the Entrance Hall. He started up the stairs and loudly cursed the Founders for placing Gryffindor high up in a tower. Eventually he saw the portrait of the Fat Lady. Fortunately he remembered that Harry had talked about her, otherwise he would not have known where the entrance was. He rushed up to her and started banging frantically on the frame, hoping that someone would hear.
“My dear boy! What do you think you are doing?” The Fat Lady started to complain loudly. “Did your parents not teach you any manners?” She huffed and turned her back to the dark-haired boy, no intentions of opening whatsoever. Just then the portrait swung open and Hermione looked back at him in chock, much to the surprise of the irritable Lady.
“Blaise?” She opened wider and let the panting boy in, before closing the portrait again. “What’s the matter?”
“It’s Draco…” he had to stop and catch his breath before continuing. Ron’s head snapped up from his homework at the mention of his boyfriend’s name. The concern could be heard clearly in his voice. “What’s wrong?”
“He… we need your help…” He explained everything in a rush and before he knew it the four of them were hurrying down the stairs that he had ran up not so long ago. Harry had hurried up to the dorms and grabbed his Invisibility cloak; they might need it after all.
The sight of Draco came as a chock to them, though they knew from Blaise what had happened. Ron thought he had been prepared, but he couldn’t help but stare at the blond boy when they came to a halt at the edge of the lake. He could see Draco swimming around further out in the water and he got a few glimpses of what he presumed was the tail. As soon as he saw them, he turned and swam towards the shore. They could all see him more clearly now.
“Wow…” Harry was the first to react; though that was the most intelligent thing he could think of at the moment. Draco had dragged himself up and now sat on what would have been his knees, had he still had legs.
Draco’s patience was running low. “What are you waiting for? Don’t just stand there!” Ron ran down into the water and tried to get Draco out of the water. He put his arms under the others armpits and started dragging him, seeing as that was the easiest to do.
“This is not very dignified, you know.” Draco complained sullenly as Blaise took a hold of the fin that had been dragging on the ground. “You’ve become really heavy, Draco.” He said with a grin. He knew how it would infuriate his friend. Harry took a hold on Draco’s back and tried to keep is hands away from what would have been his behind, though the scales that crept up the small of Draco’s back were very slippery.
“Potter!” Draco’s screech resonated in the night and the others immediately hushed him. “Keep your hands in line.” He said a little quieter. “Maybe you should trade place with Ron?” he asked hopefully. Hermione interrupted them as she flung Harry’s Invisibility cloak over Draco and tucked it in safely so that no part of him would show. However, the other three ended up looking quite stupid, as they made their way slowly up to the castle.
It took some time getting to the Entrance Hall and it didn’t help that Draco had a difficult time keeping still. Blaise was truly exasperated in the end, having been far too close to Draco’s occasionally misplaced fin. Now they only had to get down to the dungeons without being seen.
Getting down the stairs was a challenge. Keeping quiet was not the easiest to do either, but somehow, almost half an hour later, they found themselves outside the Slytherin common room. Blaise, who still held Draco’s tail, let go of him and went into the common room to see if they could get in unnoticed. The Invisibility cloak slipped down and off Draco’s body. Ron lowered Draco to the stone floor and sighed with relief, rolling his shoulder. Draco closed his eyes and leaned back on Ron’s legs.
Ron looked down at the boy sitting at his feet, thinking how unearthly he looked right now. Technically he was, though that was not the point. Draco’s wet hair combined with the scale covered tail and bare upper body, made him entrancing.
He soon noticed Draco squirming with discomfort. “You all right?” he asked. Draco looked up at him and gave a small smile. “Of course. Just thinking about how I’m going to sleep if this fin doesn’t disappear.” He deadpanned, making Ron stare at him in chock.
Blaise came back out and reassured them that everyone was asleep. They lifted him up again and after covering him once more with the cloak, they made their way as quietly as possible into the common room and then to the boy’s dorms. Ron struggled to open the door to the dorms with his elbow and push it open it with his back, but managed after a few tries.
The Slytherins were lucky, there were only two boys per room and Draco shared his dorm with Blaise, so he didn’t have to worry about anyone walking in on him. Hermione closed the door behind them and the three boys dropped Draco to the floor, sitting down themselves in exhaustion. They all gave sighs of relief; they had managed to get all the way from the lake to the dorms without being seen. Now they had to figure out Draco’s sleeping arrangements.
