Lavy was sitting down by the lake at around 1 in the morning. The moon was shining very brightly and the light was making the lake look like silver liqued. Suddenly a merman swam up to her and pulled her under. Lavy kicked him hard in the arm and he let go. She swam to the edge of the lake and got out.
"What was that about?" Ginny asked, walking over to Lavy.
"I have no idea... yet." Lavy said walking back to the side and leaning over it.
Ginny watched, her arms folded as a slight wind picked up.
Suddenly an arm came out and pulled Lavy in again. Lavy kick the merman again but this time she stayed under. "What do you want?" she asked him.
Ginny dove in, swimming up beside them. She raised an eyebrow at the merman.
~Everything okay?~ She sent to the two.
The merman just stared at Lavy with firey in his eyes. "Yes." Lavy said to Ginny.
Ginny smiled at Lavy and glared at the merman.
~Ok, dude, I don't like your attitude, what's the deal?~
"She killed my father!" he yelled still staring at Lavy
~Yeah? It happens.~ Ginny's smirk was obvious.
~Oh well, but out of compleat curiosity, why?~
"I never killed a merperson."
~There, she says she didn't do it. No offence, but I believe her.~
"She did do it me and my brothers saw it!"
Ginny's eyes flashed.
~I don't like being contridicted, kid.~
"I don't care what you like, human." he said finly looking at Ginny.
~Oh, angry little merman, arn't we?~ She asked, mocking him.
"Ok... I didn't do it and now we can leave." Lavy said feeling the tenhen between the other two.
"You killed my father so now you have to pay for that!"
Ginny growled.
~What are you going to do?~
"Take her to the consal and let them determae the punishment."
"No way!"
"Absolutly not!" Even though they were underwater, Ginny's cry carried. She hadn't spoken till now, perfering to use telepathy instead of speech.
"Yes she will!"
"Oh really? And your going to take her?" Underwater, Ginny's body still looked ready to fight.
"Ok this being blow out of poprtion. I didn't kill ayone and I'm not going any where I don't want to go; and thers no wat on this plant that I'm going infront of a bunch of merpeople, half of whom hate me with a passion. And that's that."
"You will go to the consle and then you will be punished."
"Hello did you not just hear what I said."
Ginny moved in front of him, forcing him to see her.
"No, she will not."
"Thank you. Someone agrees with me."
"Then you will take her place."
Ginny smirked, folded her arms.
"Sure, why not? I know one of the council members and enough about your rules."
"What no. Give us a sec." Lavy said pulling Ginny away from the merman. Are you carzy? Better yet do you think I'm crazy?"
Ginny laughed.
"Yes, I am crazy, and no I don't think your crazy. Why?"
"These no way I'm letting you go infront of the consle."
Ginny scowled at her.
"And why not?"
Goblet started sprinting toward the lake and dove in. He saw Lavy and Ginny right away which surprised him slightly. "Lavy! Are you okay?"
"I hope so." she said glacing at the merman.
"What's going on? Why is there a merperson here?"
"He thinks I killed his father."
"Which is totally perposterus. So I'm going in front of the council for her." Ginny said definetly.
"No way. I'd rather go." Lavy tooka deep breath(sort of) "And I will go." Lavy said swimming over to the merman.
Ginny folded her arms aand swirled the water, dissapperering.
~Then I'm going to talk to my friend whose on the council.~ She said in Lavy's mind.
"Ok" Lavy said back. "Let's go." Lavy said looking at the merman.
(I didn't make this clear but he's like 17 or 18)
(ok)
The merman tied a rope around Lavy wrist and pulled.
"That hurts. I'm not fighting you; you don't have to pull so hard."
(tell me when you arrive in the merpeople town thingy. lolz.)
Goblet followed from a distance.
"Thanks for coming." Lavy said in goblets head.
"Don't thank me. I made a promise." said Goblet in his head.
Lavy smiled and looked behind her. That slowed her down and the merman pulled hard on the rope.
"Ow...stop that! It hurts!" Lavy yelled rubbing her wrist.
"Move it now!"
Goblet had a strong desire to hurt the merman but he had the feeling that would only make things worse.
They all moved on for about 10 minutes. Then, in the distance, a dim dark green light appered.
"Oh man. I hope this goes smoothly."
"Me too." They entered the town. As the moved down the streets merpeople began coming out of there houses. "Goblet move closer." Lavy said spotting Jim.
"Okay." said Goblet moving closer.
The merpeople where silent as they moved closer and closer the the consles meeting room.
Goblet turned invisible, feeling safer that way.
As they reached the enterance to the hall the merpeople stared to gather outside. The door opened.
Ginny sat down as the door opeaned. She did not sit with the crowd nor the council. She stood against a wall, her friend watched her as she focased all her attention on the head of the council.
Lavy looked a Ginny "How did it go?"
Ginny nodded once and jerked her head at Lavy. Her friend nodded slowly and began to talk to another council member. Ginny however said nothing to Lavy nor anyone else, she simply stared at the head of council.
Lavy looked back at the council as they approched them. The mermen and Lavy bothed bowed and then was silent.
Ginny smirked at the head of councile as he stood. She was not blinking.
"You are charged of the crime of murder how say you?"
"Not Gulity."
As surprise swept across the room, Ginny's face did not move. The head of councils's eyes were strangly blank.
(I'm confussed now)
(lolz, Ginny's using her powers to advert his mind to what she wants him to say.)
(Oh)
(lolz, only so's you get out of punishment.)
Ginny still did not blink as her friend gave Lavy a tentive smile.
(lolz that merman is still pretty mad)
Lavy bowed again and turned to leave forgeting about the rope. She began to swim away but an instance later she was pulled back by the merman. He pulled her closer untill he could wisper into her ear without anyone hearing.
"My brothers and I will get our revange!" he wispered loudly.Lavy tryed to move away but the merman wraped his arm around her as if hugging her. "You will not gat away with what you have done!" H esaid befor the guareds pulled him away.
Ginny finally blinked and head of councils eyes returned to normal. He smiled at Lavy. Ginny walked over, her face pale beneath the water.
Lavy untied the rope.
"Oh man. So much adrenline."
Lavy swam over to him.
"So what did that merman say to you before you went?"
"Nothing important." Lavy said looking over her shoulder at the merman.
"Hmm, try again."
"It's not important."
"Now I know its something you donn't want me to hear by lying twice."
"I didn't lie. It's not important."
"Tell me or I will go ask him myself."
"No don't do that." Lavy said moving infront of goblet.
"Why not?"
"Why do you want to."
"Why do you don't want to tell me?"
"Cause I know you and you love to blow thing out of prepotion."
(define:prepotion)
(I'll define: blow out of perpotion: more then it is, Like if you sister gets on you computer without asking you kick her out of the room and then braek somthing of her's)
"So it is important then?"
"Maybe. Why dose it matter to you." Lavy aksed as the merman passed them very slowly satring at them.
"You already know the answer to that question."
"No I don't; you never told me." Lavy said as the merman dissappered.
"Lavy I love you. And if that merman is going to do something, I will be there."
"What makes you thin he might do somthing?"
"Perhaps the look of his face. Perhaps the fact he saw Ginny make the spell on the coucil that let you go."
"Maybe and maybe no. Lets just go."
"Fine."
Lavy grabed goblets hand and they swam to the surface.
"You sure you don't want to tell me?"
"No. I'm not sure at all."
"Why don't you just tell me?"
Lavy got out of the water. "Cause you would worry."
"Would that be better than the alternative?"
"Yes." Lavy said laying down
"If that's what you want."
Lavy put her hands over her face. "I don't know what I want anymore."
"Why? What happened?"
"It's nothing to do with you." Lavy said moving her hands. "But, then again......"
"What?"
Lavy thought for a few minutes. "Ok I'll tell you everything."
"All right." said Goblet sitting down.
Lavy took a deep breath. "About two weeks ago I meet a merman by the name of Paul.
"Go on."
"He wanted to talk to a wicth but he didn't know how she would react. So he asked me if I could help him. I said yes. So the next day I went to this witch and told her that there was somone who wanted to talk to her."
"Something went wrong, right?"
"Very wrong."
"Go on."
"When she went down to the Lake his son thought her a intruder."
"And killed her."
"Well....she was almost dead when Paul got there. But he did give the final blow." Lavy said in a low voice.
"I thought Paul wanted to talk to the witch."
"He did. But his son didn't that's why he hit her in the first place."Lavy said. "Paul's son is the one who started to beat her. Paul went along with it once he found out that she was going to die anyways."
"That's was stupid."
"Never the less. I saw When Paul killed her. I followed him as he went to get rid of the body. His son followed me."
"Go on."
"Well, I talked to him about it the next day and he was scared.....to death. Merpeople can be killed for killing a witch or a wizard."
"Or the other way around."
"Yes."
"Go on."
"Well....Pual said that he didn't do anything...and nither did his son. The only problem was that I didn't say anything about his son. I told him that so he attacked me."
"Go on."
"Well...I have to defened myself! Bu I didn't kill him. He did it himself."
"What? Why did he do that?"
"He didn't want to die a painful death."
"And what of his son?"
"That was him that took me to the concile."
"I know. I was asking what did his son do after Paul killed himself."
"He hougt that I did it. I was there after all when it happened."
"And what is his son planning to do?"
"What do you think he's going to do. He's already killed before. I'm sure he's willing to do it again."
"Did he tell you when?"
"No. And it's not like I just don't go down there again. I have duties."
"Well, what are we going to do about Paul's son?"
"Nothing."
"Why not?"
"We'er not going to do anything about it. I'm going to do somthing about it."
"What are you going to do?"
"No idea." Lavy said with a laught. "Ok maybe you can help."
"I don't feel this a laughing matter."
"Well I do. So deal with it or go away." Lavy said frowning.
"I'll deal with it. How can I help?"
"I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"For snaping at you like that. I don't know what's gotten into me latly."
"A merman possibly threatened to kill you. That's what is getting into you."
"No, I've been like this for a wile now." Lavy said.
"Whatever. What am I to do?"
"Come with me a few times."
"Where?"
"Down down down into the lake."
"Sure."
"Thank you."
"What are we going to do down there?"
"What I've been doing for the past 3 years of my life."
"That means 'what?' to me."
"Taking care of some very old merpoeple.
"What do you mean by 'taking care?'"
"Keep them alive as long as they want me to."
"Um, okay then."
"Don't ask why I don't even know. I find it pointless really. But a promise is a promise and I'm not one to break it."
"How did you promise that?"
"Well...I was where a wasn't supose to be and I got caught. We made a deal that for 5 years once a week I would come down and take care of the old."
"Why were you down there?"
"Um....looking for somthing."
"For what?"
"An orb that had been left in there years ago."
"But not any ordianary orb, right?"
"Not at all."
"Tell me about it."
"It could fit in m two hands.It was a silver color. And it had a dim glow. But the glow...was a gold color. Very bright."
"What else?"
"There was somthing black inside of it."
"Is there anything else special about it besides its appearance?"
"It's very cold. Frezzing. But it's in the warm part of the lake."
"Anything else?"
"Not that I can remember right now."
"Is it still there?"
"It was two days ago anyways."
"You didn't answer my question."
"What question?"
"Is-it-still-there?" said Goblet quickly.
"Yes."
"Maybe I will find it."
"I already know where it is."
"Then how come you haven't kept it or something?"
"I don't know."
"And what does that mean?"
"It means I don't know why I didn't keep it."
"Well, why don't you?"
"I already told you why."
"Your reason doesn't make any sense at all."
"I know that but that the one I'm giving you."
"So be it."
"What do you mean by that?"
"I don't know."
"Goblet are you feeling all right?"
"Why?"
"You don't look good."
"As in?"
"Your all swetey."
"Huh?"
Lavy placed her hand on his forhead. "Your very hot, do you feel hot."
"A little."
"God your hot, did you do anything today that might have caused this?"
"No."
"Eat anything, touch anything?"
"No."
"Wrll you seem to be getting hotter as we speake."
"How?"
"No idea.
"Well, I feel fine."
"Well you don't look it maybe you sould go to the hospilt wing."
"Okay. If you think I do." Goblet got up and started walking toward the hospital wing.
Lavy opened the door and they both walked in
"Remember the last time we were here?"
Lavy started to laught. "Yes."
(you play pomfrey)
Goblet laughed as he lied down on a bed.
(why)
"I'll be right back." Pomfrey walked in. "Never mind."
(because it seems you know why I seem to be sick)
"Okay."
(lolz ok)
"Hello, Madam Pomfrey." Lavy said standing up.
"Hello, Mrs. Brown."
"I think we may have a problem."
"Yeah. Lavy says I'm extremely hot. And I have a fever." (Hahahahaha!)
"What seems to be the problem?"
"Goblet, seems to be very hot. Feel his forhead."
Pomfrey leand over. "Yes. Well I think I can fix this." And she left the room.
"Well, that was easy."
"Easy enough." Goblet layed down on the bed.
Pomfrey came back in with a green potion in her hands. "Drink this."
Goblet chugged it. "Is it just a fever?"
"Yes." Pomfrey said leaving the room.
"I hope so."
"Yeah. Me too."
Lavy pu her hand on his forhead again. "Well it seems to be going down."
"That's good."
"Ya."
Goblet layed down on the bed.
"Do you want to go to sleep or not." Lavy said leaning over him.
"If you don't mind."
"Ok." Lavy walked out of the room and came back with a bottle filled with black potion.
Keith chugged the potion and quickly went off to sleep.
"Night."
"......"
(lolz)
~morning time~
"That was nice."
"Good."
"Are you going to the lake?"
"Yep."
"I'll come with."
"Ok. I'll meet you by the lake in an hour." Lavy said walking out of the room
"All right. I will go there now anyway."
"Ok."
~hour later~
"Hello."
"Hi. Shall we go then?"
"Yep, take these." she said hanfing him a few string of pearls.
"What are these?"
"Stings of pearls. See there not finised." Lavy said pointing to the ends of the strings.
"Why give them to me?"
Lavy pulled out more then took the ones from goblet. "No reason." and she jumped into the lake.
Josh came down to the lake and saw Goblet and Lavy."Het whats up guys?"
Lavy came back up. " Hey Josh."
"Whatcha guys doin?"
"The lake."
"Well ya i noticed that."
"I hoped you would."
Lavy walked into the lake and disappered
Goblet followed.
Lavy made her way down to the house at the out most part of the city
"Is this where the old people live?"
"Yes." Lavy opened the door
"So, um, what do I do here?"
"Dosen't really matter. Talk to them."
"Great. They are gonna hate me."
"No their not. They'er going to love you...alot." Lavy said moving to the staris.
"What makes you say that?"
"Just make sure they know your taken. And use thoses words."
"What? Taken!? Do you mean what I think you mean?"
"Yes."
"Oh my god. Should I just kiss you in front of everybody?"
"Ok." Lavy opened another door. "Hello girls." Lavy said to the 7 old mermaids sitting infront of them.
Goblet quickly grabbed a hold of Lavy and gave her a long kiss.
The mermaids started wispering. "Now, who is this, Lavy?" one of them asked.
~play along~
"This is my fiance. We intend to have childeren and lots of them. I am taken!"
The mermaids started wispering again"Lavy when did this happen."
"A few days ago. We'er getting married next June."
"Yes! There is absoutely no way somebody can break us apart."
"Pity." somone wispered
"So what do you need me to do today?"
"Finish string thoses strings with pearls."
"Ok. See you in an bit." Lavy said grabing goblet's hand and closing the door beind them.
"What are we supposed to do?"
"Finish these." Lavy said holding up the srtring.
"For how long do we do this?"
"An hour. Or when we finish. Whatever comes first."
"Let's do it the fast way."
"And what is tha fast way? And why do you want to do it the fast way?"
"Magic. And why not?"
"Humm......."
"What?"
"Nothing."
"Tell me."
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because."
"Because what?"
"Oh never mind."
"Come on tell me."
"No, goblet."
"Why not?"
"Because." Lavy taped the strings and they where filled with pearls. Lavy walked back into the room. "Here you go."
"I don't see how that is a reason."
"Leave me alone about it." Lavy handed the mermaid the perals and left the room
"Are you two have problems?Cuase Lavy is a very good girl." somone asked goblet
"I'll stop asking. But still, she is my fiance!"
"Pity." somone said again
"Come on." Lavy siad grabing his hand and pulling him out of the room.
"So we are just going to keep making string pearls?"
"Nope we'er done."
"So we just leave then?"
"Yes."
"All right." Goblet took Lavy's hand and they both swam back to shore.
*ron was walking outside and noticed goblet and lavy**he waved at them*
"Sup Ron?"
sup...you two going for a swim or...battling mermen?*he looked at them both*
"No, not yet. Why do you ask?"
oh...no reason.*he said this,smiling pleasantly*
"Tell us."
"Why are you smiling like that?" Lavy said getting out of the lake.
because I've gone to the other side....no,no...its because I'm not really ron at all!I'm really a deatheater in disguise!*he sighed*I was just smiling.nothing behind it.
"Ok." Lavy said looking at him
right...*ron lit a fire in both his hands,half boredly* *he threw them out on the lake*
"Your going to make somthing mad ron."
hmmm??*he wasn't listening* *he lit another fire,this time with his hands,and played spun it around with both his hands* *he looked at lavender*huh?What'dyou mean,I'll make something angry?
"Not everything in that lake is so forgiving of things being thown in there."
oh..yeah,I knew that...but its fire,i mean...well your probably right anyway...*the fire was now a roaring one,and ron was opening his arms wide to keep twirling it*
"Ok, then."
*ron slowly stopped twirling the fire,and held it up with his hands* *he willed it up,floating*
"Intresting."
*he then willed it into the form of a bird* *the bird flew off toward the sun*hmm..the wings look a bit short on the right side...
Lavy waved her wand at the bird and it grow in a 30 foot long bird. "Now they are."
*ron looked at her*Your a visionary...*he willed the tail longer*
"Yes." the bird turned into a rose
humm...*he turned the head of the rose white*
The fire dived into the lake and came back up as water. "Let's see what you can do with that."
I can't.I'm not fluent in controlling water...I can,however do simple things with it...*he waved his hand,and the water dived back in,then it began spouting out in a fountain like fashion*
the fountian turned into fire.
*ron brought the fire back to his hands, and it retracted slowly,dissapearing all together*
"Intresting."
*ron looked at her*what'd you mean by that?
"I just had a funny idea."
what?*he looked at her,clearly interested*
Suddenly a huge fire blow up around Lavy and she disappered within it.
*ron raised a brow*~uhuh?and that would accomplish?~
"Nothing whatsoever." Lavy said reappering in a force field.
okay...*ron headed toward the castle*
Lavy laughted again
*ron's head hurt slightly,and his legs were aching*
~what's wrong~
~nothing,I'm just not feeling well today...~
~and why is that~
*ron raised a brow*~I'm sick...I think its a cold...I haven't bothered to go to the nurse...~
~corse~
~why are we still communicating by mind?~
"No idea."
*ron stopped*right...so...do you wanna do something?
"Sure. Do you want to come goblet."Lavy stood up and walked over to ron.
(he's not here so....)
(yeah..I was about to say "Hey,where'd goblet go?"
(lolz)
(here I am stop making fun of me!)
"Sure let's go."
(lolz sorry it was funny)
Lavy grabed his hand.
(i wasn't exactly making fun of you.)*ron continued toward the castle*
(just playing. I know you weren't making fun of me. Just want you to feel bad)
Goblet followed...sigh, again.
And lavy followed him.
(my turn)
-*and ron continued leading again*
"Where are we going?"
I don't know...I was hoping the rp would just kind of flow us somewhere...
(lolz)
(lolz indeed+
"Huh? What's an RP?"
oh...nothing,nothing at all...*leads again*
"Want to go to Zonkos? I plan to, how you say, hit the Slytherin's common room."
are you french now?*they all appeared at zonko's*
"He's not but I am."
"No, I am mostly German. I am going to buy a fifty galleons worth of fireworks, drink some polyjuice, and let them loose."
"Ok, then."
(g2g)*ron looked at him*are you sure thats the best idea?
"Got any better ones?"
thats not what I meant by that.
"then what did you mean?"
stephanie appeared. "two questions: (1) what are you argueing about. and (2) what do you mean by "hit the slythelyn common room"?? "
Is it a good idea to attack the slytherins...not that I'm entirly against it....
"I think it could be very fun."
"Yep. Making other people's lives more stressful is my purpose in life."
"Amen to that."
"I make your life more stressful?"
"A few times, yes."
"Now I feel guilty." said Goblet sarcastically.
"Oh, well."
"Anybody want to participate?"
I guess I will...we better be careful tho,max and kiara will kill us if we hit them.
"That is why we disguise ourselves with polyjuice."
Yeah,but that won't stop kiara...she is nice you know.so is max..
"What do you mean she is nice? She can't see through polyjuice, can she?"
no,I mean...she'll hunt down whoever did it...maybe you should ask them to join in...having insiders would help.
"I have never met her in my life so I don't think she will be to jumpy to help me."
well,max then.I think you've met him...whatever...when are we going to do it?
"Okay. First you, me, (pig if you are there) and Lavy have to swear they won't tell anybody nothing."
um...okay.
"Sure."
(is pig here?)
(no,not at the moment.GOD I'M SO BORED I NEED A GIRLFRIEND!)
(lolz)
(Well..there's always clubbing...And lavy,its only funny because it's true.)
(hhahahaha!)
"Okay. Lavy? Do you want to participate?"
(oh yeah,I'm sure you have one goblet.and if you do,why are you here right now?)
(oh stop complaining you'll get one)
"Yes."
(hahahahaha!)
"Okay. Lavy, you get the hairs. Everyone else, take five."
"Ok then."
"I'm just playing, Lavy. Everyone, get a hair."
"Umm...ok."
"Make sure its a SLytherins."
oh,I was aiming more for a hufflepuff's hair.Thanks for pointing that one out.
"Why were you going for a Hufflepuff's?"
Sarcasm...*snatches a hair from the nearest slytherins head*
"I know. I like to shoot down jokes. And do you actually plan to turn into a girl?"
no.Just a very pretty boy.
"A short fat prettyboy that is flowing with acne?"
*ron threw the hair away*shutup.
"I saved you from looking like an idiot."
"You should save your self not Ron."
"Whatever. I will turn invisible and grab a fistful of hair from a slytherin."
"You do realive you only need like 4 hairs, right?"
"We only need one. Maybe I will take Kiara's."
I don't think you should do that unless you have a death wish.
"Nah. Don't even want to be a girl anyway".
"Hummmmm............"
"What?"
"Nothing."
*max walked in,looking around*
*stephanie was invisble but you know she was there cuz she said something* this conversation is sure getting somewhere..... *mumbled*
"Whatever."
"Oh, crap."
"No what."
"Can Max read minds? Crap, he can! Must close. Must close the mind."
"Whatever."
max walked up."hey guys.."
"Hi, Max. What's going on?"
"Hello Max. Last time I saw you, Lavender went on a psychotic rampage."
"yeah...I was just looking around,and I heard goblet yelling,'I must close mind,must close mind,"max glanced at goblet,smiling."I also heard of your plans,but...It wasn't the fact that I could hear you thinking,I had a vision of it a few months ago," (your worst nightmare...a person who reads back.)
"Nice. Well do you want to be a part of it Max?"
"Sure,Why not...I've been wanting to get a few people back,so..."Max looked around."We should look in weasley's wizard wheezes,"Better selection,I think,"
"Good point."
"Well, thanks for not demoralizing me. Yeah, let's go to the WWW. I placed a big order on a custom firework."
"What d'you mean,demoralizing you?"his eyes sparkled when he heard mention of a custom firework."well...then we'll have to go get it,NOW,"
"I know it means to discourage or something like that. But I just wanted to say it. Let's go."
They all started walking to the WWW.
he waved his hand and they appeared there.He looked around."I love this shop..."
"Yeah. Too bad we are gonna put it out of business."
"riiiiiight,"he grabbed a few things."What,exactly is it your planning on," "Complete chaos,or utter annialation?"He said,looking at a few large bombs.
"Humm.................chaos. I can do that easily."
"Both." Goblet went through a door and went to the back of the shop.
Lavy stayed at the front of the stor and started to choses something that would most deffeantly create chaos.
"I'll be about thirty minutes. The safe has a 500 digit code."
"Ummm........ok."
(lets wait for E to the M.)
( E to the M. your stupid)
(please,I prefer M to the J...max johnson.)"safe huh?"max picked up a large bomb."They didn't have a safe last time I was here,"
Goblet started decoding the safe. "That's because you didn't see it. They have been making it for over a year. You want the details or get the surprise?"
