A little reverse birthday present from me to you all! I'm sorry this took so long!

"Try this one! It looks like something a fish your size would eat!"
Harry looked at the fat sea worm crawling on the ocean floor in disgust. It looked so alive and... squirmy. "I don't know..."
"Of course not, you idiot eel. He's a small human. Small humans don't eat that much."
If snipe eels could frown, Harry most certainly knew that the golden eel would be. "I didn't know that. I've never seen a human eat before."
The silver snipe eel circled closer around the golden one as they floated around Harry. "Indeed. You're just an inexperienced little egg."
"Hey! I'm not an egg!"
Harry couldn't help but giggle at the two's banter.

-

"Whoa." Harry stopped swimming to look at the pod of dolphins passing by. They were all so majestic, gliding through the currents on silvery fins and chattering at each other.
"Don't look at them like that, Human. Their egos are already inflated, any more compliments and they'll start flying rather than swimming."
Harry giggled at the image while the golden eel continued to watch the pod. The eel broke his state to ask the silver eel a question. "They're young, like me, right?"
The silver eel almost seemed to roll his eyes, and Harry would have believed he did, had that not been biologically impossible for eels to do. "Yes. Only they do not like anyone who doesn't speak their language. Outsiders are not allowed to swim with the pod."
Harry pouted as he watched the pod get further and further away from him. He really wanted to swim with the dolphins.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea sprung into the seven-year-old's head. "Can you please teach me how to speak Dolphin?" the little Potter pleaded, his bright eyes wide with hope.
A few moments later, Harry was sure that whoever had said eels couldn't roll their eyes had never met one.

-

"I'm going to name you both Snap and Snoop!" The silver eel turned small eyes onto the human swimming next to him, an exasperated light shining in them.
"What ever possessed you to create such ludicrous names for us? I have never expressed a desire to have an address."
Harry gently grabbed onto the silver tail of the newly-dubbed Snap, eyes gliding over his own webbed fingers to the smooth scales of his companion.
"Because! I need something to call you, and it fits! You like to snap at me and Snoop."
The eel wriggled out of Harry's hold, turning a stink eye on the seven-year-old child. "'Snoop and I', you human."
Before Harry could think up a retort, Snoop jumped into the conversation.
"Oh! Why am I named Snoop then? Is it because I'm so stealthy? The best predator around?"
Hardy laughed as the gold eel twirled in front of his glowing eyes, it's voice exuberant. "You're Snoop because you can't keep your fin out of everyone else's business!"
The golden eel slid around Harry's neck, tightening lightly as he laughed. "Oh yeah? Well I'm still the best predator!"
Harry giggled in delight, bubbles escaping his fanged mouth.

-

Harry hummed lightly in contentment as he nibbled on his leftovers from the night before. After much consideration, he had forced himself to eat raw fish, and it hadn't tasted as bad as he had feared. Over time, there had been no ill effects either, so Harry had added it to the short list of things he could safely eat in the ocean.
It was a few small pink fish he had managed to snag from a nearby school that he currently munched on. Harry had spied them when Snap and Snoop went off to hunt for their own dinners.
"Human! We spotted a whale on our hunt. That means that there are dolphins near the surface! Let's go!"
The bright pink of the fish disappeared behind a light blue as Harry slurped up the tail of one of his fish before turning to see his tiny golden companion whipping around in excitement while his silver friend floated off to the side.
"Yes, finish your food. I would like to see just how abysmal your 'Dolphin' has become."
Harry quickly tore through the last two fish with his sharp teeth, swallowed, and scoffed at Snap. "The only reason I couldn't swim with the last pod was because they didn't like my dark appearance. It's not my fault that I'm not light-skinned like I used to be."
Snap appeared to look Harry up and down before he stubbornly said, "...We shall see."

-

"Human, we should leave."
Harry stuck his head out from an opening in the deck of a wrecked ship to look at Snap.
"Why? We only just got here. I really want to see its insides! I've never been inside an empty ship. Plus, it looks almost undisturbed! There might still be gold inside."
"And what would you be able to do with gold? It's not like you've been to the surface since you came to bother me."
Harry looked down at the rotting wood boards of the ship as he tried to think of a response. Snap was right. He had never gone to the surface in all his time with the snipe eels, so what would he gain from finding gold?
"Don't be such a meanie, Snap! I want to explore too." Snoop swam from Snap's side to Harry's. The golden eel turned and hissed, "If you don't like it, you can just go hunt or something. We can meet up once Human and I are done," before he disappeared into the belly of the ship.
Harry giggled when Snap began grumbling to himself again as he swam to follow Snoop.

Harry gasped as he caught sight of a wooden, chest-shaped object hidden underneath the decomposing skeleton of an old crew member. Snoop was already trying to weasel his way around the last rags of the old cloth still surviving.
Harry giggled when Snoop got stuck, and gently scooped up the skeleton to help him. It was then, with the skeleton in his arms, that Harry felt the floor beneath his flippers tremble.
Turing wide, bioluminescent eyes onto Snap, Harry silently conceded to the silver eel's earlier point. They had to get out of there.
Dropping the skeleton to grab Snoop and Snap, Harry kicked his legs as hard as they could go to get them out of there.
A shriek reverberated through the ocean as Harry managed to fling himself up and out of the shuddering, sinking ship.
Swimming up and out of the way of the breaking masts, Harry looked down to see what was causing all of the chaos, and could not believe his eyes when he saw the mounds of sand that had been surrounding the ship moving.
Redoubling his efforts to get out of there, Harry's gills shuttered in shock when a massive voice boomed, "Halt."
The Potter froze mid-stroke gasping for water, and only after a few moments of calm did he hazard a look over his shoulder.
There, sticking out of the sand in front of the ship he had just been exploring, was a huge alien head. It was easily as tall as the body of the ship and bright blue with horns the length of the ship attached on either side of its circular skull. Three sets of pupil-less, glowing yellow eyes were locked onto Harry, and the child was sure the being was staring straight into his very soul.
"Yes?"
The yellow eyes all narrowed in unison causing chills to spread across Harry's hair-less skin. The being's mouth fell open to show off a huge chasm of darkness not even Harry's improved eyesight could penetrate. And from this murky depth, the commanding voice originated.
"You have disturbed my hoard. For this, I would normally grant you death."
Harry sucked in a sharp breathe of water as his brain began to comprehend the amount of danger he was in. Harry needed to get out of here. He opened his own mouth to plead for his life when the being continued, "However, you speak the language of my kin. This brings solace to my old mind. If you leave now, I shall forgive your crimes and let you live another day."
Harry couldn't believe his ears. This great being wasn't going to actually kill him? He had been saved because he could speak to the being? The reasoning baffled the young child's mind.
Ignoring his questions for now, Harry bowed quickly, squeaked out a 'Thank you, o' Great One!', and turned tail and fled. He ignored the rumbling behind him, the insults from Snap, and the complaints of Snoop in order to get as far away from the ancient creature as he possibly could.

-

Harry smiled next to the grumbling Snap as he watched Snoop disturb the nearby schools of fish. The odd trio had ascended to a brighter portion of the ocean on that day because Snoop had expressed an extreme desire to scare as many fish as he could.
Harry frowned a bit when Snoop stopped chasing after one of the fleeing fish though. The Potter wondered why he stopped, as he normally played for a much longer time.
"Hey Human! Look, there are more humans behind you!"
Harry's heart leapt into his throat as he quickly turned around. His eyes widened before he blinked in shock. Sure enough, it was easy to spot the dark-skinned humanoid figures swimming downwards from what must have been the hull of a small ship.
Panic flooded Harry's senses; he did not want to get caught and have to go back to living with the Dursleys. The young child's head swiveled rapidly from side to side as he searched for a place to hide.
Spotting a nearby coral reef, Harry sprint-swam towards it, anxiously looking for any sort of hole or outcropping that he could fit under.
After a few minutes, Harry found one and quickly swam over to it. He slipped under the reef overhang and scrunched his eyes closed, as he tried to reassure himself that they wouldn't be able to find him. He wouldn't go back, he wouldn't.

Snap was the only one to realize it was not the inept humans' fault that they could not see what was right in front of their eyes when they swam before the shaking Potter.

-

Harry giggled as he twirled in the center of a circle of sharks, gently petting each one that glided forward. After the event a long time ago that had left one of his feet mangled, Harry had gotten over his irrational hatred of sharks. After all, had he not been dragged out to sea by the creature, he wouldn't have escaped the Dursleys or gained two awesome eel friends.
Not to mention that the sharks reminded Harry of Mrs. Figgs' cats when they brushed up against his sides and booped him with their snouts. They were really quite harmless if you could understand them.
Snap and Snoop just watched a good distance away in stunned silence. Not even Snoop was dumb enough to get that close to a school of sharks.

-

Harry's eyes widened in awe, and his mouth opened in shock. Forgetting about his hunt, the young Potter swam closer to the elegant creatures he couldn't take his eyes off of.
And as he got closer, the enraptured child reached out reverently to pet the fluffy-looking fish, only to shriek when the furry salmon whipped around and snapped at his fingers.
Clutching his bleeding hand to his chest, Harry watched in horror as all of the white-haired creatures in the school slowly turned to look at him in unison. Hundreds of beady eyes penetrated his form, and Harry started to swim backwards slowly.
The school suddenly jerked towards him aggressively, and Harry flipped around and took off before they could snap at him any more with their tiny, sharp teeth.

-

Turtles. Who could hate turtles?
Of all the creatures that the human could be afraid of, turtles weren't even on the list.
"Aww. Human, look! It's a little baby turtle."
Harry turned wide eyes onto Snoop and the baby turtle, before he slowly swam backwards, retreating in the face of this 'evil'.
"Human, that turtle is roughly the size of your palm. What could it possibly do to you?" Snap hissed.
"Bite me," was the terrified child's quiet reply.
Snap slithered right up to the human's face and stared into his strange eyes. "And would that kill you?"
Much to his disgust, the human replied, "Yes."
"How could a baby turtle possibly kill you?" Snap... snapped. Thinking introspectively, Snap quietly admitted to himself that the human had named him accordingly, though not very well.
"They have a secret poison that everyone except for my family is immune to." Snap rolled his eyes at the sheer belief present in the human's tone, as well as his foolishly defensive posture.
"I can assure you, Human, that you are not special. Turtles will not poison you."
Snap watched, dully resigned, as the Human looked at him dubiously and hissed, "How would you know? You're not a Potter."
Snap turned and swam away.
