I shook my head, refusing to believe what I saw. There was no way mermaids were real. But if trolls and a three-headed wolf were real, what could stop a mermaid from being real too? We were officially f****d. The Forbidden Forest was like a land of fairytales where your worst nightmares came to life.
But in fairytales, mermaids were supposed to be beautiful and magical. Maybe we still had a chance. Perhaps if I talked to her nicely, she would let us go. And maybe she could even point us in the direction of the flag. How badly could it go?
Although, I couldn't do much talking underwater, and I had already lost most of the oxygen I had left. But maybe if I just made some quick hand gestures, she would get it. I swam quicker and caught up with Jody, and for a moment, I was entranced
