Dec18, Harry Potter, Draco, Hydrophobia
Title: Hydrophobia
Fandom: Harry Potter
Character: Draco
Rating: general
Note: Drabble written for lillithium for holiday 2007.

When he was tiny, Draco had feared water, any water. He screamed when he was bathed: his nurse used cleaning charms on him until he was three. Then his father had a talk with him. Draco could not remember the precise words, but from that day on he protested no more.

He still disliked water, however. When the Triwizard champions disappeared into the lake he worked hard to repress the shudder of fear he experienced, imagining himself in their position. He stood, tense with an apprehension he refused to acknowledge, until one by one they reemerged, Harry last of all.

	{{hugs}} I was never that bad, but having needed glasses since I was 6, swimming was never a fun experience; I bumped into people, pool walls, etc. all the time. Water in the shower or tub is ok though... (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Draco is tensed with fear, not of the water per se it seems, but for what could have happened to the last emerging champion! ; ) g (Reply to this) (Thread)

	He's not afraid of the water for himself, no... but for Harry, you're right. g (Reply to this) (Parent)
