{On Hiatus} Under the Sea: a Harry X Voldemort|Tom

The Girl...

Narrator's POV

As Hadrian swam away from the Hidden City, he saw human ships were covered in orange light.

Hadrian decided to swim to the surface to figure out what was going on and saw that the ships were on...what's the word?... fire.

He watched in horror as people screamed in pain and died in pure agony, but in the back he noticed someone dive into the water.

Hadrian rushed to where the human dove in and found her body as it began to slip into unconsciousness and dragged her to the shore —he knew humans couldn't breathe underwater like mermaids can.

Once he heard her breathe he swam away back to the castle.

He quietly swam into his bedroom and much to his horror he saw his father, King Albus, waiting for him.

"Where have you been, Hadrian?" King Albus asked

"I saw human ships above and I saw a pretty orange light and I wanted to see it up close. I wasn't thinking, father, I'm sorry to have worried you." Hadrian told, it wasn't the complete truth but he hoped it was enough

"What was the orange light?" King Albus asked

"What's the word....fire? The human ships were in fire and was sinking and I saved this girl-"

"A human girl?"

"Yes, she had red hair —like the flames— and-"

"You must marry her." King Albus decided

"What?!" Hadrian said, shocked

"Ancient Atlantia text says that a Atlantic Prince will marry a human girl." King Albus answered

"Why me?" Hadrian asked

"Because you said you saved her." Albus replied, "My boy, there are things I have never told you. Do you know the legend of the Sea Warlock Voldemort?"

"Yes." Hadrian answered, "Everyone does."

"He is real. You must make a deal with him to give you human legs so you can woo and marry her." Albus ordered

"How will I find him?" Hadrian asked, "Or the human girl?"

"The human you described sounds like Princess Ginerva from the human country on the coast." Albus answered, "As for Voldemort, you must look —starting tomorrow morning."

Hadrian sighed, "Yes, father."

The next morning, Hadrian swam back to Hidden City and told Voldemort what happened.

As Hadrian expected, Vol was furious...at Albus, of course.

Voldemort could understand that Hadrian could not float by and watch her die, but force Hadrian to marry her —yes, he was mad.

So, he told his boyfriend to tell his father that he had found him and made a deal, but he had to bring his brother, Ron.

So after spending most of the day with his boyfriend, Hadrian returned home to tell his father the cover story.

***

The next morning, Ron and Hadrian swam to a cave where Voldemort told him to meet him.

Once he and Ron entered, a figure swam out from behind a drape of seaweed.

The figure was as white as a pearl, noseless, and bald —Hadrian's could only recognize Vol by the snake tentacles and red eyes.

"For the potion I will give the two of you, I want payment." Voldemort coldly said

"What do you want?" Ron asked

"A favor." Voldemort replied

"Done." Ron said

Voldemort then handed them two vials —one that was silver and one gold.

Ron drank the gold and Hadrian drank the other.

Hadrian appreciated that his tasted like seaberries, but he didn't know that Ron's tasted like sand.

"Ew." Ron muttered

"I've already set up a cover story for you at the castle: Prince Hadrian will be Lord Hadrian Potter and you will be Lord Ronald Weasley, Prince Ron." Voldemort said, using them out

The two Princes quickly swam to shore before the potion took effect and when Hadrian and Ron began to walk on the beach, to Hadrian it felt like walking on a cushion, but to Ron it felt like walking on sea urchins.

"OW!" Ron yelped, Hadrian almost giggled

Hadrian saw that he was dressed in a purple silk shirt, black...pants, and black...shoes.

He also noticed Ron in the same outfit, except his shirt was red.

The duo made their way to the castle were they were announced and led to their rooms.

***

At dinner Ron, Hadrian, and Princess Ginerva ate dinner in the dining room, when the butler announced, "Your majesty, you have a guest."

"Who?" Ginerva asked

"May I present, Lord Tom Marvolo Riddle." The butler continued

Hadrian could hardly contain his gasp when Voldemort walked in...
