Summary: When eighth year turns out to be just as unpleasant as Draco had suspected, he looks for something positive he can do for himself. Like trying to teach himself how to swim in the Great Lake. Only things don't go as planned when Potter somehow finds out.

This fic, it's just lovely. It's about Draco being back at Hogwarts for the 8th year, only he feels completely disconnected with everything, indifferent to his surroundings and friends and people. It's really touching, but then he decides to do something, to try something knew to see if shakes that indifference away. And so he decides to learn how to swim, on his own. And he does, he goes alone to the Lake a couple of times, until this one day (or night, rather), he nearly drowns, and there's, of course, Harry to rescue him (while he was skinny dipping!!!). He's very upset at the beginning, but then Harry offers to help him. And this, well, this makes all the difference in the world. Wonderful to read, and beautiful interactions between Harry and Draco. :)
