Chapter One: A Midnight Swim
There she went again, sneaking out of the common room late at night, duffel bag slung over her shoulder. ‘Tonight’s the night.’ Draco Malfoy silently crept after the Head Girl all the way down to the lake. She seemed distracted tonight, good. He hid behind some bushes as he watched her disrobe and pull something out of her bag. She kept it bundled close to her chest as she walked down to the water’s edge, the moonlight causing her pale skin to glow, highlighting her curves, her bushy hair hung in waves and curls down her back to her waist.
She waded into the water up to her hips and proceeded to put the bundle into the water. Draco cursed his vantage point; it was too far away from the water to clearly see what she was doing. The girl lowered herself into the water and swam out into the deeper water. She rolled onto her back, savouring the feeling of being in the water, her breasts bobbing on the surface, high glowing peaks in the vast flat surface of the lake. The girl then ducked her head under water and swam down, the last thing Draco saw were a pair of flippers flicking away the water as she kicked.
Draco continued watching, she had to resurface soon. Draco settled down in his hiding spot and scanned the surface of the lake. The only evidence that she was even there was the duffel bag. Two hours passed and she had only surfaced three times for quick breaths of air. Finally for the fourth time she surfaced near the edge of the lake, rising out of the water like a goddess. As she came into the shallows she pulled up the bundle and exited the water, her long hair hanging down to her waist and covering her large breasts. Draco shuddered at the sight of her wet, curvaceous body. Her large breasts, although covered, still peaked out behind her hair; she had a slim waist and wide hips, which surprised Draco. He had always thought of her as skinny stick like all the other girls he’d seen, but there she was in all her glory.
The girl placed the bundle back in her duffel bag and dried herself off. The sight made Draco’s mouth go dry, his eyes following her hands as she ran the towel over her body. First her face, neck, shoulders and arms, then her breasts, waist and hips, his breath hitched as she ran her hand between her legs, rubbing herself dry. Oh how he wished he could be those hands, running all over her wet body. Draco mentally slapped himself, he shouldn’t be thinking of her like that. She was dressing now and getting ready to leave. Although she was a curvaceous woman she wasn’t fat. Her stomach was flat; the curves of her body all running seamlessly, the Head Girls genetics, although dirty, had gifted her well.
Draco shifted slightly so she wouldn’t see him as she walked past. Again his breath hitched as the moonlight lit up the wet patches in her clothing, accentuating her buttocks and in between her thighs, her erect nipples poking through the fabric, indicating she was cold. Draco tried to stand and sneak after her but it just wasn’t meant to be, his erection stopping him from bending over or making any sneaky movements. He laid back and waiting for the blood to return to his brain. Draco tried to clear his head but it was no use, he couldn’t get the sight of her naked body out of his head.

Hermione locked the trunk and tucked it away under her bed. ‘Safe for another night,’ she thought.
Swimming in the lake helped control the longing but it never truly got rid of it. Hermione had a secret, a very big secret that not even her closest of friends knew. Hermione Granger was a Selkie. Where mermaids were like fish, Selkies are their seal cousins. A Selkie has the form of a seal in the water and the gift to shed their skin and take a human form on land.
Full blooded Selkies appeared as full seals, where as half Selkies appear half human, half seal. Hermione was a half. While Selkies have the ability to shed their seal skin and walk the land in their human form, they must keep their seal skin safe. If a human discovers a Selkie’s skin, the Selkie effectively becomes the human’s property. If a female Selkie becomes enslaved she must become the human’s wife. This is what happened to her mother.
Her father had discovered her mother’s seal skin and entranced by her beauty refused to give it back. Over the years her parents had grown to love one another and from that love they had Hermione. Her father had given her mother her skin back but she refused to return to the sea, for if she did she could not return for seven years.
Despite Hermione having never been in the sea in her Selkie form she could still feel the longing for it. No library books could help her discover how to sooth it, her mother had discovered that fresh water could help quell the longing to the point of being able to bare it but always they would feel the call of the sea. Perhaps after school Hermione would go to the sea in her seal form, tell everyone she was going on a long vacation. Hermione heard a bang from out in the common room. Her main problem had arrived. Living in close proximity to the girls in the dormitory had been tough, especially the sneaking out part, but Malfoy was even worse. It was like he had super hearing. For their first week he had caught her twice as she was about to leave, each time she used the excuse of going to use the prefects bathroom; stating that she couldn’t stand to share a bathroom with him. For the next few weeks he sat in the common room until after she left. He had followed her but she always went to the prefect bathrooms like she claimed.
It was getting risky but she couldn’t quell her longing any longer and tonight she had given in. The swim had been wonderful, her urges fulfilled, she only hoped that they hadn’t blinded her.

AN: The idea for this story was sparked by an artist I follow on DeviantArt. She is an amazing artist and introduced me to the wonderful mythical creature that is the Selkie. The artist is called StressedJenny and you can find her Selkie art here >> http://stressedjenny.deviantart.com/gallery/26522323. While what she draws aren’t what proper Selkies look like, I loved it so much I needed to somehow incorporate that into the story while still trying to keep the mythology relatively intact. How she draws the female Selkie’s body shape is how I envision Hermione in this story. Slim and healthy but with attributes that would make a caveman chose her to bare his children over any other woman lol.
After doing some research I discovered that Selkies actually appear as full seals. So I decided that as Hermione is a half Selkie, that she should appear as one. The information I was able to find on Selkie mythology was tiny but consistent.
I have a rough idea where this story is going and will be a bit AU/AR. Please Review! Constructive criticism is welcome.
I used to write fan fictions back when I was young, impressionable and thought I knew all about writing. I re-read some of them and.. I have no idea what I was thinking (but it did make me realise why I liked the book Twilight so much back then *shudder*).
Now I have actually finished school and know a hell of a lot more about writing. If you see any mistakes or inconsistencies in spelling please let me know and I will accost my computer (it likes to change from Australian to American). I do proof read my stories before I post but sometimes tiny mistakes creep through (often it will be my accidentally leaving the ‘s’ off the end of a word).
