She was going to be a majestic queen for the rest of her life, and would be ruling things much more important than ducks, and she couldn't let anything slide out of her grip. Not at the hands of an old bloke with grey in his hair and air in his head, she wouldn't.

The lioness pulled on her shoes and picked up her loaf of bead. After climbing off of the rock ledge, she skipped over to the side of the pond where the boy was standing. Getting a closer look at his robes, she noticed the crest on his robes. "You're a Gryffindor?" Oh, the horror. But. If this was a boy in her House, he'd have more than plenty of time to bother her, so she might as well end her suffering now. Without waiting for a reply, she pushed him in the pond, robes, bread, and all.

The next thing she knew, she was dripping wet.

The boy had made such a splash that Alice had gotten drenched, too. Her bread had somehow also ended up in the water, and the ducks were all happily gobbling up both their soggy loaves. BUT. She still won. "I win!"

Then she poked the boy. "Do you want any help getting out of there?" He wasn't annoying when he couldn't talk, so she might as well be nice for those few moments.
Edric didn't even have time to reply when the annoying blonde girl suddenly noticed that they were in the same House - he'd kinda hoped she wouldn't realize it. Having anything in common with that little demon was probably the biggest insult he'd ever received. BUT. No time to fret.

Suddenly, he was in the water.
It took Edric a second to realize what had just happened, as he surfaced from the water, completely soaked and surrounded by ducks.

That-- that little hag!

Edric opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly he stopped, remaining motionless for a very brief second before beginning to flail around in a panic, his arms splashing around and scaring off the nearby ducks.

"I-- I can't swim!" he managed to shout out between gasps of air. "MURDER!!! MURDERER!!!" He disappeared under the water for a panicked second, his arms going in all directions, trying to keep afloat.
