Annie was still holding the Groundskeepers wombat by the time she reached the boats... she didn't know what to do. Was she meant to take it in a boat or give it back to him. Completely confused she just tried to think about what was happening when she noticed that Lex was also standing there with a couple of other firsties!
"Lex!" she said happily moving a bit quicker to catch up to her while being careful of the slightly more restless wombat... apparently it didn't like it while she moved too quickly so she focused on stroking it's fur to try to keep it calm before she gave it the stick. She was gonna prove to the groundskeeper that she could take care of the wombat... speaking of which, she might have to visit it when she arrived at Hogwarts so she made a mental note to drop in on the groundskeeper every once in a while.
He was anyway nice!
"I haven't seen you in ages! How are you?" she asked the fellow first year who she'd met, seemingly ages ago, in Diagon Alley while she was with her brother... who still hadn't re-appeared!!! |
