The mental image she'd just thought up was pretty amusing and she wore a faint smile as she followed the herd of first years towards the boats, noting Dima was in the front. Dima, her ally. Good to know he'd made it here safe and sound.
"The squid's a he and I don't think he's particularly threatening unless you bother him." Like that other dude said. So yeah, don't and you wouldn't get eaten, DUH. Though...what a story that would be. 'Dear Mom, saw a kid get eaten on the boat ride to Hogwarts. Sincerely, Maddison' Hehehe. Oh and she was joining Dima and that boy, okay? Okay. And that scared kid...was he coming too?
The small brunette gave head nods in greeting and then climbed into the boat. How soon until she could see INSIDE the castle? That's were she wanted to be.

"My brothers says its one of the meanest creatures at Hogwarts and it especially loves first years because we're weak and cant fight back"
What the other boy said made sense except the part about the squid being friendly, his brothers told him that any chance the squid got he ate first years.
"Maybe the squids a test so the headmistress can find all the troublemakers before they enter the castle" That would give her a reason to keep it around.
"You really think not getting in the boat is giving trouble?" if something like that was giving trouble then he would have to be more careful than usual.
Gump turned to the only girl now she wasn't making any sense.
"Your wrong the squid is a terrifying creature that goes around hunting first years."

And looked at that extremely large Groundskeeper. If she didn't know any better she would said that he's part Giant. Was he? Wait. wasn't Agatha, the girl she met at the Platform said that her uncle is the Hogwarts Groundskeeper. This guy is her uncle. Yeah I don't see the resemblance.
Candice followed the other first year towards the boat. And one of them mentioned about not being too loud or the squid will eat them. She just rolled her eyes. Boys. "Yeah what she said." Maddie was it? Now can they just ride the boat in silence? Thank you.

"I'm not a bad kid," Dima said in a very matter-of-fact tone. Or at least he tried not to be. Did that count? "But I thought the bad kids got detentions. Plus if they get eaten when do they get a chance to be better? Does the squid regurgitate them?" Like the street vendor!
Excretion also worked, but that was nasty and it would probably be impolite to mention.
And it was a he? Huh. He looked from Maddie to the first boy to the one who was apparently terrified of the squid. "I can fight back plenty! Didn't you hear me say I have a WAND? And I know Tai Chi!" He tried to strike a stance-like pose and ended up almost overturning the boat. Whoops.
"You eat people?" Was that legal? Dima suddenly wasn't so eager to save this guy if he drowned anymore. He wasn't a MEAL.
Pause. "How does he act off occasion?" What if this was an off occasion? When did they panic? How soon did he need to get his wand out?
Now seemed like a good time, so he reached into his robes and got it. EN GUARDE!
There went the boat tipping again. Heh. Sorry. "You're welcome!!" Kyroh said smiling at the Groundskeeper, his sarcasm completely flying over his head.
The squid was a he? That made sense. Didn't it? Though if the Squid was a she it would still make sense so Kyroh just nodded at the girl who entered their boat. HI! NICE TO MEET YOU! THANKS FOR THE SQUID INFO.
The new scared guy entered their boat and started to argue. But...the groundskeeper just said-
....Though the Groundskeeper also said he ate people. So...
"I think there are a lot of cannibals in the magical world." Kyroh pipped up looking toward the boy he met in Diagon Alley. That was TWO already by his count.
Woaah. The boat tipped a bit as another girl came on. That was FIVE. Five was too much! But....it couldn't be that bad right? He didn't think it was till the wand-holding-best-swimmer-ever-boy started to rock the boat. Twice
"Caaaan we just go now?" Any slow first years kind of deserved to be left behind. So ONWARD TO THE CASTLE.
Come on boat.
Move, before a sixth person came on.
