Dawn lifts itself out of the dripping sea, stretching lustrous colors along the horizon in a sleepy gesture. A gentle breeze pushes baby waves from their slumber to lap at the pristine white shores of a jungle isle. A sharp cry rents the warm air, a soft gray bird wheeling against the breaking sky to dive into the water for a fresh meal. Another cry echoes from deep inside the forest, this one human and in search of a person.
“ Harry! Harry!!” A young girl with brown frizzy hair barrels her way through the thick undergrowth, breaking at branches and trying not to step on any small creatures in her rush. Escaping from the foliage she stops to catch her breath and scan the edges of the vast lagoon before her. The boy she’s seeking had left a scrawled message saying only that he had gone to speak to the mermaids. Her eyes flick from the tumbling waterfall and smoothed rocks, to the trees bending to dip gently into the delicately churning water covered in plant life, the vegetation floating lazily against one another.
“ Harry!!”
A boy older than the girl, though no more than seventeen, turns his face up at the sound, his green eyes sparking with mirth as he spots one of his friends, Hermione it was, still in her pajamas. He situates the sash across his chest and shoulders, the only thing covering his body along with a pair of green shorts stopping just at the tops of his thighs. The warm humidity and need for aerodynamics factors in his choice of clothing. Often he wishes he could wear more, feeling horribly exposed, yet secretly loving the feeling of almost nakedness.
“ Over here.” He settles back against the trunk of a swaying palm, having finished his conversation with Allethsora, one of the nicer and wiser mermaids. Finally the girl collapses next to him, panting to catch her breath.
“ Hermione, half the animals and plants slumber yet. What are you doing out here at this hour?” As the girl begins to wheeze Harry narrows his eyes, realizing she probably ran all the way here. This must be serious. Quickly he pulls a flask from his belt and lifts the open neck to her. The girl guzzles quietly at the sweet water before smiling gratefully.
“ Now, what’s going on?” Her eyes grow frantic as she remembers her intension.
“ Pirates! Pirates Harry! Ron saw them this morning heading towards the north shore!” She watches the boy scratch at his raven hair before turning to grin at her.
“ Well then, this is serious. I better check it out.”
“ But Harry, pirates haven’t dared to come here since Hook! They must be a ghastly lot to brave it!” The older boy places a gentling hand over her shaking ones.
“ I know that Hermione, but remember things have changed a lot since then. We’re not as foolhardy as Pan was.” Hermione frowns. Even now Harry couldn’t say Peter’s name. “ I’ll go see what they want. Alone.” He adds. “ I’ll try to be back before the stars grace the sky. I promise.”
“ But!…” She protests.
“ It’ll be ok. They’re less likely to notice just one person and I’m the only one that can fly. Don’t tell the others just yet. And do not send search parties until at least tomorrow night.” Suddenly he’s away and in the air.
“ Harry!” The slender boy turns soft emerald eyes back to her. “ Harry, ever since Peter…”
“ Some of the younger boy have taken to rough housing in the mermaid’s Lagoon. Please remind them that it is only for lounging and bathing.” Hermione sighs and shakes her head in defeat. Harry feels a stab of regret. He knows she means well, but he just couldn’t…not yet and maybe not forever. He floats back down and pulls her into an embrace. Then he’s gone with a rush of displaced air and the girl is left standing to gaze at the pinking sky, feeling that something is about to change. For better…or for worse…
Oooo…horrible cliff hanger!! (giggles at my own sillyness)
