Maybe some of that black mold was still down there, trapped in the crevices of the stone walls and stuff. "No one ever taught you how?" Kurumi asked, her wand still twirling between her slender fingers as she spoke. "Do you...want to learn? I can try and teach you." Not that a hot spring was really the ideal place to learn how to swim...but it would have to do. Once she made him some floaties that is.
She didn't conjure them out of thin air, but instead used a spell that Professor Magnus had taught them and transfigured some rubbish from her pockets into a pair of them.
She shrugged her shoulders at his question. "It's just hard to imagine life without Hogwarts, I suppose. It's really the only part of the wizarding world that I really know."
Quidditch. Kurumi instantly began to scratch her arms nervously at the sheer mention of the word. Was her rash coming back again? She sure hoped not...the flying lesson had been bad enough. Now she had to actually go to a tryout to get Selina off her case...Kurumi had hung up her Quidditch robes. She wasn't going to play Seeker...she was done with the sport. DONE!
But she was back to blushing when Theo complimented her. "I...just do what I can..." she mumbled shyly.
"Let's get these on you first and then we can both go in," she smiled, offering him the floaties.
"
Umm..." Theo scratched his head and found a nice tree along the way to stare at. Should he lie about this? Nah, Kurumi was too nice to lie to. "
I have been having lessons all my life, cos my mum worries that I will fall in a lake one day 'cos I'm soooo clumsy'." His dad's words. Rude. "
I just can't do it." Cos he was very afraid of the water. He didn't even like taking baths, so it was always a shower for Theodore. He shrugged his shoulders, "
You can try and teach me, if you want." Though, unless she could transfigure him into the next surf-boarder, he didn't see much coming of the lessons.
OOooooh, magic. "
Wow, you did that really quick. Do you think I'll be as good as you one day?" Cos Theo's track record with wand-sticking was quite tragic so far. It was a good thing that he could ride a broom, otherwise there would be no hope for him at all. He nodded, kind of understanding her reasons for worrying. It was HIS only wizarding experience, too. Would he be all depressed in his seventh year, too? MEEP.
"At least you're not the only person graduating. Your pals will be, too, right?"
Theodore noticed her discomfort, so he asked. "
Do you like Quidditch?" And what he meant by THAT was 'have you seen ME on the Quidditch pitch?' If she hadn't, he wouldn't be too upset. Theo's term was gonna be THIS term, seeing as his first Quidditch year didn't go exactly how he'd planned.
A humble prefect, too. Wow, Kurumi was definitely no Slytherin. Theo that when HE made it as a prefect, he'd milk it for all it was worth. It was an exciting prospect to look forward to.
"
Okay..." Was he shaking? No, no... he told himself it was just cos he was in the presence of a pretty girl. But that made him want to shake even more. He took the floats from her and popped one on each of his arms. They made him look about six years younger already.
Theo sighed and tipped his foot over the edge. "
G-Go first, please." It wasn't even a request.
