“It must be so unusual for you to see this all here and yet still be so close to the water?” Draco questioned softly before his eyes briefly flared with hope and he tried so hard not to let that reflect in his following words. “Say, Ariel? Would you maybe come down and see me sometimes? When I’m here in the dormitory, studying or whatever, and it’s safe for the both of us, would you come and say hi?” The thought of the two of them being separated by a simple bit of strong glass and some spell-work would perhaps be the only thing to keep him calm in the coming days and months should they not be able to meet as regularly as he’d like.

“Really? Then I’d like for you to come here whenever you can and want to, Ariel. I’m more than happy to do the enchantments to transform you for a bit and I’ll look into getting you some more of that potion to give you legs,” He promised her, inwardly not thinking about just how much trouble that could get him into. It was a dream, something to aspire to, something to distract him from the terrible thoughts that plagued him these days in regards to his mission and everything else.

Running fingers along the glass, a rare frown found her features as she looked towards Draco. “I... I want to, Draco. More than anything but... I do not know how long I can stay here for. They are looking for me and staying in these waters will have them find me. I may only have a few more days before I must go if I return.” Her father the King had the whole Kingdom searching and there were already signs of them here.

Ariel looked back out the glass before lowering her hand and pressing her forehead against it to enjoy the cool feeling it offered. “I can help you look if you like? With the little time I have here?” Soon she would have to go back to the water and hide away until she can have her freedom to be who she wanted.

“Hellebore is a type of plant that we use in Herbology and in Potions - here, it’s use is simply as a password which only members of the Slytherin House know. It’s to stop other Houses entering and gives us a little privacy and as far as I know, all the Houses enter their Common Room through a portrait.” He smiled at her infectious delight and wondered when the Room had last heard laughter that wasn’t at the misfortune of someone else. Contrary to popular belief, Slytherin wasn’t an evil House but they would take delight in another House losing points and losing a game of Quidditch, for example, especially if that House was Gryffindor.

“We are, Ariel, and no, not all portraits have a room hidden behind them - we use doors too but that’s more for classrooms and so on,” Draco supplied helpfully and gestured to one of the nearby windows. “There - isn’t it peculiar to see the lake from this angle? We’ve always liked it for it gives the room a rather green tinge to it.”

A plant? Maybe it’s something she could take with her then? Ariel loved the idea of entering places through a portrait and her mind moved to her grotto. There was a ping of pain in her chest knowing it was gone but tried not to focus on it. If she couldn’t stay here then maybe she would have another portrait to find beneath the waves that she could have as as entrance.

Moving towards the strange view of the water, she reached out and laughed softly when she couldn’t touch it. “It’s strange for certain.” Seeing Flounder swim by made her face light up again as she waved at him before he quickly swam away. Such a guppy. “I love it here, Draco... It’s more than I could have dreamed.”

“Apart from summer and Christmas, I’m here.” Draco responded with a nod, unsure as to whether or not he preferred Hogwarts to the Manor at the moment. Right now, the Dark Lord was residing in Draco’s home but here, at his school, the person concerning his mission lived and worked and Draco didn’t know what to do with this. The feelings on this overwhelmed him more often than not but for now, he could focus on Ariel and forget about it all.

“No, I don’t mind - it’s kind of amazing, actually.” He shrugged once more before flashing her a crooked smile as he led her down the long and winding corridor and down a few stairs. “Nearly.” And with that, he stopped outside the large portrait and murmured, “Hellabore,” and the portrait open to bid them entry. “Ready?”

Eyes went wide as the portrait opened for them and Ariel wrapped her arms around Draco’s. It was amazing! She couldn’t help but step forward, running fingers through the open space before letting out a laugh. “Hellabore? What does it mean? Do all images open that way? Are there open walls open behind all of them?” Ariel looked around before letting out an excited squeal of delight.

Letting Draco go she stepped inside and did a quick little spin before gaining her balance. “We are in a hidden wall, Draco!” Fingers reached out to touch the wall and tried to push away the knowledge that she was going to return to sea. It was heart breaking but for now she could enjoy herself.

“Well, it’s more…a home from home, I suppose. Hogwarts is nice but it’s not the Manor…” Draco lifted his shoulders up in a shrug, not really knowing how else to say it to her. He loved the library and the Quidditch pitch and the Potions lab but when he was at school, he could never really be himself; he always had to be the perfect Malfoy heir and he found it to be exhausting.

“No, that was just me gesturing for us to keep moving but you don’t ever have to ask to see magic, Ariel. We’re not technically allowed to do magic in the corridors, but there’s no-one around to see us except the portraits and by the time they’ve called the alarm, we’ll be long gone,” He teased her playfully and he reached to gently squeeze her hand.

“It’s where you stay for a long time though, right? It’s your home. Home is a place of warmth and wonder, when you look around and see a friendly fin.” She explained, not understanding his role he had to play. To her, he was just Draco. Blue eyes seemed to sparkle at her words, looking towards their direction with a joy she could never explain.

Yet hearing he was just gesturing made her flush. “No. I wouldn’t want to get you into trouble.” Squeezing his hand back, she glanced at him and smiled. “Are we close?”

Managing, if only for a little while, to forget about his constant troubles and the imminent war, Draco allowed the smile to stay on his face this time and he continued to watch her, apparently entranced by her transformation. He’d seen one species change to another before on countless occasions, but this was different somehow and not because he’d been the one to make it happen.

“Take it slowly, okay? You’re still getting used to walking on legs instead of swimming, you don’t want to do too much too quickly.” Draco warned her softly but nevertheless allowed her to pull him forward a little. “Now, are you ready to see the Slytherin Dormitory?” He added on then with a little wave of the hand after glancing around to check that no-one had stumbled across them in the last few minutes.

Legs! Human legs. Ariel wiggled her toes, loving the feeling of just having them. If she only had a short time then she would love every minute of it. “I am more than ready, Draco. I’ve wanted to see you home for so long. And look! I’m here! It’s like I’m in a story book.” Laughter flowed easily from her lips, not understanding fully the world she was in but didn’t care. She was here.

With a large smile at Draco, she watched his hand move through the air. “Was that a spell?” Everything was just curious for her. Something new to learn and she wanted to memorize it all.

“A…a clam?” He echoed softly before the comparison registered, causing a faint smile to tug at his pale lips. He was rather like a clam, closing down and refusing to open up to anyone but he couldn’t let anyone in on his deepest, darkest secrets, not even those close to him. He’d barely talked about it to his parents, or Severus and the very thought of baring all and telling Ariel everything terrified him further because he didn’t want her involved. If anyone found out that he had a new friend, especially one thankfully oblivious to the goings on in the Wizarding World, then they wouldn’t rest until they’d hurt her or worse.

Focusing on the transformation before him rather than the dark and unpleasant thoughts swirling in his mind, Draco smiled as he watched Ariel, ensuring that he kept his wand steady and level. “You look completely different…it’s strange seeing you without your trademark red hair,” He visibly relaxed then and found himself reaching out to absently squeeze her hand, “I wouldn’t recognise you at all now which was the intended effect. The important thing is…how do you feel, Ariel?”

Ariel laughed softly at his confusion and nodded his head. Hands came up in front of her to resemble a closed clam before opening up. As the smile formed on his features she knew he understand and lips pulled up further. Even if it took time, she hoped that Draco would in time grow to trust her. 

Shaking her hair out, fingers easily wrapped around his hand. “I feel wonderful!” If she could scream she would. Ariel bite down on her lip to stop herself from letting the feelings grow. Instead she found herself humming to keep the song wanting to flow freely from her soul. Squeezing his hand, she gave a little pull so they could move forward. “Let’s go!”

“Maybe one day, you staying here permanently can be a possibility but…for right now, I need you to stay safe, Ariel.” Draco protested softly, a sad smile upon his face as he realised that she might not be able to visit him at all if things got as dangerous as he thought they might be. Thoughts still on that troubling scenario, he continued in a low tone, “Promise me that if the day comes when you come above water and I’m not there, that if it looks dangerous, you’ll return home immediately? And if I ever tell you to hide, or run or swim away…you’ll do it, no questions asked?”

“I’ll do my very best, Ariel.” Draco vowed then, grateful for the rapid change in conversation and eager to please her as best he could. Nodding then, he reached for his wand and jaw clenching with determination and concentration, he began to slowly mutter a series of soft incantations, hoping that everything would go as planned

This conversation wasn’t fun. Ariel hated it. How worried Draco seemed but as far as she knew, all situations could be changed as long as there was belief that it could. What he asked of her though... she couldn’t agree to it. Even if she said she would, she knew herself better than that. “You don’t need to be a clam, Draco. You can open up to me with anything, okay?”

Letting her eyes close, a soft giggle escaped at the feeling of the magic. When her eyes opened she didn’t feel any different but looked over herself. Her pale skin was more tan and instead of long red hair, short curly black hair fell from her scalp. Fingers moved through it with a laugh and she spun. “How do I look? Strange? I can’t be spotted though, right?” She would be able to go into his area now where the water danced outside the window without being spotted.

“That’s fine! Just tell me exactly what you want and I’ll do that for you, okay? I promise you that this way is painless, it’s maybe just a little…strange? There are other ways to change your appearance but seeing as I don’t carry around Polyjuice Potion, this is the only way that I can think of,” He supplied absently, thinking of Crabbe and Goyle’s transformations to help him in the Room of Requirement. At first, it had been funny to see those two hulking masses turn into tiny little first year girls but overtime, the hilarity had quickly worn off once the true nature of his mission finally set in.

Draco stopped and gazed at her with confusion, then sympathy and sadness battled on his face and he exhaled a soft sigh. “I wish there was, Ariel, but…even if there was, I don’t think I could show you. To keep you away from your home, your people, without good reason wouldn’t be fair and…” His eyes flashed and he bit his lip, “And things…things are going to happen here soon and I don’t…I don’t want you caught up in it, okay? I need you to be safe.”

“I don’t want to go back.” Ariel spoke quickly, blue eyes practically begging. “My father will never understand. He will never let me out of his sight if I go back and... I want to be free.” There was nothing Draco could do about that, she understood, but she didn’t want him to think that this was the worst option for her.

Even if things weren’t safe, she didn’t fear the danger. “Change me into something nice?” She wasn’t sure what to change but she trusted Draco. Offering him a smile, she changed their subject so they didn’t have to discuss such dangerous things. “I wonder if Flounder will be down there, or if he will recognize me.” With a soft a chuckle, she pushed back some of her hair and faced her new friend. “I’m ready!” Arms spread wide so he could see all of her to change whatever he liked, making the robes he gave her nearly reveal her form.

“It’s only temporary - as temporary as this potion is for you. There’s people that can change their own appearance at will and it’s fascinating. Actually, my cousin is supposed to be one but I’ve never met her, so I couldn’t tell you for certain.” Draco shuddered at the thought of his cousin, recalling how the Dark Lord had mocked her in front of him, asking if he would babysit the ‘cub’ once it was born. That was one of the many things that had caused Draco to reconsider which side he was on and the very fact that he was doing so would most certainly result in his death.

“Oh! No, you look like the perfect human, Ariel. I just meant that I could change your appearance, if you wanted me to, so that if anyone who knew you looked through the windows in the dungeons, they wouldn’t be able to recognise you at all.” He was quick to placate her, eager to see her smiles return once again. “It’s completely your choice - I won’t ever force you into making any decision. I’m not like that.”

Could someone in family really have the ability to change at will? That would be... amazing. Her mind was lost in the thought before glancing up at Draco as he helped ease her thoughts. She was still a little worried but nodded her head. “I think it would be wise if we changed my appearance while the water is in view. Then once we are done I can return to as I am now.” Going back to her tail was not something she wanted and wouldn’t mention that yet.

Wrapping arms around Draco, Ariel held tightly as they walked. “I... don’t want to go back to the sea. Even when I get my tail back. Could there... Is there someway I can stay here?” There was danger of her tail drying out or even being see but... going back to the water meant a chance her father could find her.

Draco wondered what it was like to want something for all of your life, to dream about nothing else and then to finally have it handed to you. Draco couldn’t remember ever wanting anything that much for he had been given every luxury imaginable as a child and yet…and yet the only thing he had every truly wanted was to be accepted, to have some friends that he made himself and that would stick by him whenever things got tough. But he’d come with terms that that dream would never become a reality and allowed himself to grow up into a lonely, bitter young man.

“You’re absolutely sure? Well, I’m not promising that it’ll be easy but I’ve done it before just…not to someone that I truly care about,” He smiled and lifted his shoulders up in a shrug, leaving the decision completely to her. “You’ll look like any other student here if I have anything to say about it. If that’s what you want.”

Ariel was torn in a way she had not felt before. Would she want to lose that much of herself? She she wanted to  have her human legs but to change all over herself? Fingers moved through her hair, crimson flowing easily through her touch. Part of her had to wonder who Draco had used it on but pushed the thought from her mind, knowing she wouldn’t know them anyway.

“I would like to look like a human... If I don’t already... does it take more than legs to look like a human?” Ariel questioned softly before shaking her head. “Maybe just while I’m here so any merfolk that look in don’t realize it is me? I would like to still be me... Perhaps they will accept me as I am?” Fingers moved from her hair to wrap around the cloak Draco made for her.

Draco was already making plans to secure more of the potion to make Ariel’s dream come true without really considering just what he’d have to sacrifice in the process. For him to gain favours from the Dark Lord and obtain the potion, he was falling into a darker trap that he couldn’t hope to get out and he would have to do far more than just kill the Headmaster. But he couldn’t think about that now, not when Ariel’s smile was brightening up the entire room.

But it seemed like he had the power to sour the mood with a few carefully chosen words and he cringed at his own selfishness. “I’m sorry, Ariel! I didn’t mean to…maybe I can help? I’m not a fully qualified wizard yet but I can change your appearance briefly? A potion gave you legs but I can change your hair, your nose, make you unrecognisable, if you wanted me to?”

If Ariel knew what her dream demanded of Draco, she wouldn’t do it. He was far too kind to go through such hell for her. In this moment however she wanted nothing else but to live in this world and be part of the humans and the large home here. Fingers ran along the wall, loving the strange harsh texture that it offered along her skin. It made soft giggles escape red lips and even she couldn’t bring herself to pull the hand away.

Knowing that her family could see her here though made fingers stop. “No! Don’t be sorry. I’m glad you said it. I could just... be very careful? Or will it be difficult to change me? Will I fit in further?” Maybe she looked odd here in this world as well and just didn’t notice. A hand moved to her hair as she twisted the locks in curiosity.
