Goblet was staring at the lake at midnight, just him and his restless thoughts, swirling in his mind, practically dreaming, and all of it was broken when he heard somebody coming...
Lavy came up and sat next to him. "Couln't sleep?"
"Yeah. A lot happened over the holidays that just stick to my mind."
"And what where they?"
"I recently met my brother, who I haven't seen in a long time. Nothing important. Why are you out here?"
"The voice like always."
"Voice?"
"Well I guess I should say voices cuase there's millons."
"Millions of voices brings you here?"
"No millons of voices make it so that I can't sleep. My reastlessness brings me out here."
"I suppose I have it easy then. But I haven't slept ever since I got back from the holidays."
"Yes, tell me everything."
"What happened during the holidays? It is nothing you would be interested in."
"I can't speak for Lavy, but I know I'd like to know." She sat down beside him.
"Yes. Go ahead tell us."
"I just met my brother, Mithos, who ran away from home for a few years, that's pretty much it." lied Goblet
"Really."
"Uh yeah, really." he lied.
Lavy had a feeling that goblet was lieing
"You know I am lying, don't you? Fine. I killed a death eater, met my brother who I recently is partially responsible for most of my family's deaths, got stabbed, and was given...a gift."
"Wow, you have one family history. And yes I do know when someone is lying."(like when they wirte it down)
"And I know when someone thinks I am lying."
"That's cause you suck at lying."
"And that's how I know."
(lolz)
"Anything ealse you want to tell me?"
"Nope. Unless the want to see this gift."
"You say gift as though it's more like a curse." Ginny didn't looke at him, but rather at the lake.
"Well, ever since I recieved this gift, I couldn't ever sleep, even if am sleepy."
"Obviously."
"At least you are actually are ABLE to sleep."
"What is this 'gift'?"
"My brother said he got it from his 'secret travels'. It's this spell that summons this demon, I think it is called something like The Protector of the Heveanly Gates Demon or something like that. I don't no what it is, but it is a very powerful demon, which was demonstrated by my brother."
"Well that can't be all
"It is. He went off before I could even ask anything."
"And you have no way to talk to him now?"
"Well no. He said we would meet again.
"Well that sounds promising."
"I don't see why he would lie. I am surprised you haven't asked to see it."
"I didn't relize that you wanted me to see it."
"I didn't care whether you saw it or not."
"Now in y experinces when somone brings up a subject like ' I'm surpised you didn't ask to see it' they want me to see it."
"Let's just forget about it."
"ok."
"Anything happen to you recently?"
"Lots what do you want to hear about first."
"Um, why do you hear voices in your head?"
"Because she has the psychic power of telepathy."
"And it keeps getting stronger what makes my life suck even more."
"Don't worry, once it reaches it's peak it will start to deteriorate."
"Ah, not that I am really interested, but do you learn telepathy or are you born with it or something?"
"You could learn, but it hurts. Those who are born with it have it worse."
"Because you hear voices all the time when you are baby, right?"
"No, because when you just learn telepathy, you can't control it as well."
"So what happens if you are born with it?"
"It hurts even more."
"Is it possible to die from the pain?"
Ginny laughed a hollow laugh.
"No, if it was I know a few who would be dead. I've gone crazy from the pain before."
"Are you still crazy?" grinned Goblet.
She looked up at him not smiling.
"Yes."
Goblet's smile went away quickly and went back to staring at the lake. Just as he was staring at the lake, the squid poped out of the lake.
pig walked over to the lake and saw ginny lavy and goblet " hey guys" she said siting down nect to them
Ginny looked up ate Pig.
"Hey."
"Did somebody leave a note or something?"
pig looked a goblet a little confused she had no idea wat he was taling about
"Why does he have to yell so loud!" Lavy said holding her right ear.
"Sorry. What are the odds th- oh, never mind."
"Ya, god stupid a**. Not you goblet."
pig sat there she looked at the sky it was nice a sunny she smild just how she like it she looked at the lake and saw somthing swim near the serface of the walter with a long tale it was a mermade. pig smiled
"Somebody definently left a note. Hello, little mermaid."
the mermaid poped her scaly head out of the walter slightly her eyes scaned the people who sat by the lake
pig looked at goblet " what are you talking about goblet what note " she asked
ya what note
"It's a figure a speech. Perhaps you will know what it means someday."
"Who cares?" Ginny's eyes were closed now.
"Well now is the day."
pig didnt say anything she just shook her head slightly and sighed she laid down on her front with her head resting on her hands she loked acroos the walter and then looked across to the forest
"I got an idea. Let's not carry on with this conversation."
Ginny opeaned her eyes and shoot him a glare.
"Whatever. You guys can sontinue. I'm gone already." With that she dissappeared.
"Ah. My charming wit at work.
pig luaged softly she was getting a litle hot so she got took of her shoes and went closer to the lake she sat there and slide her legs into the cool walter ~ that feels better~ she thought
"I too will go in the water...in a different fashion." Goblet went into the lake, then turned into a moderately sized squid.
"me too" lavy took off her shoes, took down her hair and dived in.
"Hey, Lavy. Mind if I tossed you to the other side of the lake?"
"No, go ahead."
(how can I talk to you if I am a squid? ;D)
Goblet picked up Lavy and through her a half a mile up in the air. When she fell into the water, she was caught by anther squid.
(I can talk to squid ;))
That squid through her into the air also and this time she hit the water.
"Oh god. Was that a belly flop?"
(lolz *rolz on floor laughting)
"No that was a dive. You need your eyes checked."
"It's not easy to have eyes of a squid."
Lavy swam back to goblet. "Let me check them."
"Fine. You do that. I swear if you tell me if I need glasses..."
"There fine. 20-17. Wow you have really good eye sight."
"20-17? What does that mean?"
"Well 20-20 is perfect and 20- 19 is better then perfect. The lower it gose the better your eye sight is."
"What do you got?"
"20-6. Telepothy."
"Cool. How long can you hold your breath?"
"Days."
"You got me beat...as a human."
pig was getting a bit bord so she stood up and walked back a good few yards and ran up to the lake to gather speed and turned into a owl she flew obove the walter not to high she then changed back into her human form she grabed her legs and fell into the walter creating a huge spalsh. pig swam back up smiling
"Nice."
"I agree. But it's not over yet." *Goblet went back to shore turned into a eagle went a mile into the air then turned back into a huge squid, then dropped into the the center of the lake, causing a huge wave.
pig swam under walter then came back up as the last bit of walter came down " good i dont thik i can out do that " pig said lying on her back swimming
"I'm better." *turns into a dolphine and hits the water. Comes back out as a dove and flys around. Turns back into a dolphine and dives in*
"While yours is more graceful, you can't beat my wave."
'I don't whight aas much as you do."
"I am not fat or anything. I just turned into a huge squid."
'When you human I wight less. And I didn't say your fat."
"Oh, okay. Wanna be tossed to the other side of the lake?"
"Ok." Lavy swam over to goblet.
Goblet skipped Lavy across the lake 32 times.
"Wow that was great." Lavy said getting out of the lake and sat on the edge.
"I am tired of being a squid." Goblet turns into his normal form and started doing laps up and down the Lake.
The moon came out and shinned off the Lake.
"That's a bright moon."
(did you just say pretty )
(um, what are you talking about? ;D)
(never mind)
"Ya."
Goblet went underwater and touched the bottom of the lake.
*Lays there."
(where?)
*The ground*
"What? You tired?"
"A little."
"I am still got a little bit left in me." Goblet did a couple of laps.
"Ok."
"I'm beat." said Goblet, sitting down next Lavy.
"Guess what."
"What?"
"I don't know I just wanted to say that."
"Hm."
"Really tired?"
"Yep. Guess I did one lap too many."
"Oh, well just rest."
"All right." Goblet lays down and lets his thoughts wander.
"It's somtime fun to know what people are thinking."
"I don't really control myself when I think, I just, think. What are you thinking about?"
"Why I can't control my telpothy somtimes. I mean I was born with it so you would think that in 13 years I could control it at all times."
"Yeah. With me, it's just easier not to think about one specific thing."
:Ya. But it's so hard somtimes."
"For you?"
"Yes.You know cause I keep hearing other peoples thoughts and I can't block them out."
"Maybe you should take Occlumency or something, or would that even help?"
"No. I took it for 5 years no a single voice left. In fact it made my mind weaker. That's why my vison is 20-6 and not 20-4
"That sucks. If you had a choice if you could lose telepathy, would you do it?"
"Tryed it once. My whole body went crazy. I could hear everything."
"Could you ever go to sleep?"
"Ya. But it wasn't long before someone would yell and I'm up."
"Can you make out the voices or are there too many?"
"Most of them are just wispers. But if someone gets emotional in any way: yelling, crying, screaming, extra, extra, I can hear what there saying and thinking.And I can also consentrate on one or more voice, maybe 10 to15 and I can hear them clearly."
pig continued to swim she wasnt that tired she swam under walter them poped up near goblet and lavy
"What's going on pig."
" bordom " pig said getting out of the walter she smild then took out her wand and hot air blew out drying her cloeths
"Same reason I am out here. Can't go to sleep so no reason I should be bored just lying in bed."
" very true"
"A least you can sleep."
"Not too sure at this point."
"Why is that."
"I haven't slept for one week. Yet every minute I feel like I woke up from a nice refreshing, 10 hour nap. I think I got insomnia or something."
"Well, your lucky."
"You call insomia lucky?"
"At least you feel refreshed."
"I guess that is one small bright side."
"Yeppes."
"So, can you read minds and all that?"
"Ya."
"But you don't do it all the time though right?"
"Not on prepose."
"So if I thought that I was dancing to songs yesterday, you could hear it?"
"Yes..But you said it out loud."
"I wasn't by the way."
"I know I can hear what your thinking."
"Great. Right back to Occlumency." Goblet clears his mind.
"The last time Occlumency worked on me was two years ago."
"And that was when..."
"My friend told me that everything was fine and the next day she was dead."
"Sorry for that. What happened?"
"Don't be sorry. I'm not. A deatheater came by after I left and killed her and her family."
"Do you feel it is partly your fault?"
"Ya I should have stayed. I already knew that the death eaters would kill anyone close to me."
"Well, I promise you one thing. They will never take me."
"Well I'm glad someone can promise me that and I can belive them."
The squid came up and splashed Goblet and Lavy.
Lavy jumped in after it. 5 minutes later she came up. "I like that squid."
"Got guppys all over me."
"Then get them off."
"Already did." said Goblet, throwing a guppy at Lavy playfully.
"You..." Lavy jumped at goblet and takaled him.
Goblet wrestled free from Lavy's grip, "Catch me if you can!" Goblet jumped in the lake and started swimming away.
"Oh really." Lavy jumped in after him.
"Yes really!" Goblet dove under.
Lavy did the same.
"Can't catch me, Lavy." said Goblet in his mind.
Lavy got the squid to grab goblet and hold him 'till she got there.
"Oh that's nice." said Goblet in his mind.
"I know."
Goblet caught a guppy underwater and threw it at Lavy.
Lavy grabed goblet's wrist and pulled him to the surface. "What was that for!"
"Why did you get the squid to help? That wasn't very fair."
"Cause your stronger then me."
"Skill is more of a factor than strength."
"Not for me. Stop your complaing."
"Whatever. I am going down to visit the merpeople."
"Fine." Lavy swam to the egde of the lake and got out.
"What? Are you mad or something?"
"No. I'm tired."
"Oh. Well, see you later." Goblet dove down, then got back up. "Um, I don't know where they live."
"Go down to the bottem and swim untill you see a green light."
"Okay." Goblet dove down and didn't come back up untill 10 minutes later.
"How was it."
"Well, it didn't go to well. Some merman came up to me and said that I had relations with his daughter. One thing let to another and he said that he is gonna kill me next time he sees me. But that is not going to stop me from ever going down there again."
"Hu... come with me."Lavy jumped in. "I think I know who your talking about.
(your going to have to rp him)
(sure)
"Okay."
Lavy dove under and started swimming down.
Are you sure this is a good idea?
Ya just stay close to me.
Okay.
They got closer to the bottem and then saw the green light.
"I swear, if he attacks me, I am not going to lie down and-
I said I would kill you if you came back here boy!
Lavy swam infront of goblet. "Hello_______."
(What's his name)
(Jim. um, is this guy suppose to know you?
(Yes)
Lavy swam nfront of goblet. "Hello Jim. How are you?"
Jim got out a trident. "Get out the way so I can kill this guy!"
"Now Jim why do you want to kill him."
"I recognize him! He had relations with my daughter!"
"There are other people I would rather have relations with than a mermaid!"
"Jim, how can he have relations with your daughter. He's human he can't breath down here."
"He can breathe long enough!"
"Christ."
"Jim, goblet can have a relationship on land where he can breath for a long long long time. And he don't want to have relations with your daughter."
"I recognize him!"
"You are just using me as a scapegoat!"
"Jim, your being stupid goblet dosen't like your daughter."
"Let alone know."
"He must have. I know you did Goblet, if that really is your stupid name."
"Jim, what makes you think that goblet wants your daughter."
"First of all, I have seen him before."
"Out of the water."
"Jim, have you seen goblet any close to your daughter?"
"Yes. I have. Very close."
"You do not know what you are talking about, old man."
"How close?" Lavy asked
"If she weren't a mermaid, she might be pregnant!"
"Geezus, man!"
"That close?" Lavy said turning to goblet.
"What!? You are siding him?"
"This here is a smart lady."
"Shut up."
"Yes!" Lavy said. "Play along" she mouthed.
"Fine then. I admit it. I got really close to her. I have half of mind of marrying her."
"W-what? A-aha! Caught you!"
"Jim." Lavy said turning to him. "I know that most of the time the father would kill the person how tryed to ruin his daughter but this time can I deal with it. I swear he will never look at another mermaid again without horriale memoris about what I did to him."
"Oh God." Goblet began swiming away.
"You promise?"
"Definaly." Lavy said. grabing goblet's leg.
"Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry!" said Goblet, pretending that Lavy has a very strong grip on him.
"Teach him a lesson, Lavender!"
"I will Jim. I promise." Lavy called the squid and it grabed goblet. "Do you want an update?" Lavy asked letting go of goblet now that the squid had a hold of him.
"Fine then! Do your worst."
"Good night Jim." Lavy said as she and the squid moved to the surface.
"Good night." said Jim with a smile.
"Owe you one, Lavy."
"Ya." Lavy said as they reached the surface. Lavy swam to the edge of the lake and got out.
Goblet started doing the butterfly stroke around the lake.
"Have you even seen this mermaid that Jim was talking about?"
"No, I barely even see any.
"That's cause your a guy."
"Hey. I didn't even have the chance to."
"No. Imean when a man comes down to where the meapeolpe live most of the mermaids stay in there houes."
"Well, I didn't know that. Did Jim know that?"
"Yes."
"So he did use me as a scapegoat!"
"Yes....and no. Goblet look. Merpeople don't really like humans to begin with. So if they see you do anything strange they will always watch you."
"Guess you are right. But still, I treat everybody equal!"
"That's not how they see it."
"I wonder why."
"They've always been like that. They love to kill humans."
"Or frame them."
"Which leads to killing them. Trust me you don't want to get one of them angry."
"Yeah? What would they do?"
"Do you really want to know."
"Yep."
"Well it really depends on the crime. Say you came in the middle of the night to hunt or speak with somone without permission. Well then, since that is a small crime, they would simply beat you and then let you go. But if tey belive your trying to ruin someones reputaion well them,not only will they beat you, they will let a rear fish slowly eat you. It takes weeks to finish and wile it's eatng you he merpeople will contiuning beating you, and other things. But if they would have found you gulity of killing one of them, they will let a tiny animal,no biger then your finger nail eat you from the inside out. That takes months even years to complety."
"Do they just stuff the fish in you?"
"They make you swollow it. But the fish makes acid when it feel in danger. Trust me if this didn't go on under water the screams could wake people up half way around the world."
"Well, I will be careful. But even if they did try to get me, they couldn't."
"What do you mean by that? Lavy said sitting up.
"Well, I will fight back. And get some help from the squid."
"Do you even know who strong they are? Why do you think the squid never messes with them?"
"Did you know that there is more than one squid in there?"
"Yes goblet." Lavy said laying back down. "And they have never attaked the merpeople before. But the merpeople have attacked them."
"I know. The squid, well the squid we usually see, told me."
"But anyways just make sure next time you go down there you only look at the merman."
"Doesn't sound too hard. I will do that next time."
"Trust me it's hard to olny look at them they scar me to death. But don't ever look like your over confident. That's a death wish."
"Hmm. Can they breathe out of the water?"
"Yes so don't try to swim away if they go after you. They'll just beat you more."
"Why do merpeople attack squids?"
"Because they want to prove themselves. That's how the men prove themselves. They bring back a dead squied."
"Maybe the squid will strike back or something."
"Do you have any idea how powerful a 13 year old merman is?" Lavy siad sitting up again.
(by the way are you still swimming around?)
(nah, I am sitting next to you)
"No."
"Good you don't want to know. It's a painful experiance. I've had the broken bones and bruises to prove it."
(ok thanks)
"Pain. Ha! Tell me something about pain I haven't experienced."
"I never siad you haven't felt that kind of pain. Just not in the same way."
"You're right. I just wanted to say that. How long does the average merpeson live?"
"120 to 150 years why?"
"Just wondering. I wonder if there is any human the merpeople deeply respect."
"How do you think I got you away from Jim? My devilish charm?"
"Oh I see. The merpeople don't mind females as much as they do males."
"Yep. They have weird logic."
"Would they notice if I turn into a guppy or something and just swim around?"
"Yes." They know everything there is to know about this Lake."
"How deep is this lake?"
"From the center down about 9 miles."
"Cool. I wonder if there is anything extremely dangerous in the lake besides the merpeople."
"Not more dangerous then them but there are a few in there that can do some damage to you body."
"Such as?"
"A grindylow."
"Ah. Remember when Lupin was here?"
"Ah. Yes."
"He was the only one that was sane. Quirrel was a two face. Lockhart was a fraud." (I won't go any further, seeing as I don't know how far are we in the RP year.)
"Ya....Lupin was the best."
"Wish Snape would go to DADA. Then we might never see him again."
"I might be tepmted to have him disapper."
"How would you manage to do that?"
"Now, see if I told you I would have to kill you, and I don't want to do that."
"You don't want to tell me, that's fine. But I can keep a secret."
"Let's just say that it wouldn't be pleasent to watch."
"Does it involve deeply hurting him?"
"Depends and your defination of 'deeply hurting' somone.
"Kill?"
"No, just not around for a good amont of time."
"Really? How long?"
"Maybe a coulpe weeks or maybe a month or two."
"I am burning with curiosity."
"Lets' just leave it at that it would be a very painful experiance for both parties."
"Both parties? Are you talking about Dumbledore too?"
"No."
"Oh. So what is the other party?"
"Me. Or someone I tell to do it."
"Well, good luck with that."
"What are you talking about."
"Good luck getting rid of Snape."
"Who said I was for sure going to be me who did it?"
"You are confusing me. So I will just say that I hope Snape leaves soon."
"Soon? Why is that."
"Why? I wanted him to leave Hogwarts ever since he came here."
"I'll see what I can do."
"What are you gonna do?"
"I don't know yet."
"You could try to drive him insane."
"I think I'll do somthing phically."
"Torture?!"
"Why are you so suprised, just cause I'm small doesn't mean I can't hurt somone."
"I don't judge people on height Lavy."
"Well, the fact still remains that I'm brealy 5'0."
"That doesn't mean you are unable to torture people."
"Very true." Lavy said .
"When do you plan to torture him?"
"Indefinalty. And the ampunt of time I'm going to torture him, indefinaltly."
"Did you try to dodge the question when you used the big boy or girl words?"
"No, I don't know when or how or how long I'm going to do it."
"But you do plan to do it?"
"Yes, as we speak he is being kidnpped."
"Kidnapped? Who is kidnapping him? Besides you I mean."
"Some one who ows me a very big favor." Lavy said with a sly smile.
"Did you save his or her life or something?"
"In a way yes."
"Care to explain?"
"Well, I guess the best way would be to say this is blackmail."
"Blackmail? How's that?"
"She did somthing...that her husband might not like."
"It's an affair, right?"
"Yes."
"Is that all?"
"No."
"Well, go on then."
"Well, I found out about it and I said that Iwas going to tell her husband. She told me thatif I didn't tell him she would do whatever I wanted her to."
