So he'd gone outside in search of something fun.

Then he'd spotted Maddie. She was fun!

"What're you doing?" Moving to her side, the first year flopped on his belly as well and peered into the water.

Toby was used to being in basically perpetual motion, but it had never been this bad before, not since he'd been a really little kid at least. Still... he'd had his morning run, and at least an hour of pogoing around the school. Maybe a walk would do the job.

This reasoning was what found Toby strolling around the grounds. There was nowhere in particular he was headed for, rather he was just letting his feet take him wherever.

It didn't surprise Toby when he ended up at the lake. It was sort of hard to avoid, after all. So big, you see. The Hufflepuff stood at the start of the dock for a little while, before deciding that standing still was almost as bad as sitting down. Maybe he'd pace the dock for a while.

As he stepped onto the dock, Tobias at last became aware of two small humans down at the other end. It was no wonder he hadn't seen them before, seeing as they were both lying down and stuff. Hm, maybe they'd be up for some socialising; Toby was eager to hear what the minds of tomorrow had to say. And it would be a good distraction from this awful awful energy.

So he started towards them.


"M'trying to get a good look at the giant squid." Maddie's eyes remained focused on the water below but she did smile a tiny bit. "Y'think there's some kind of special way of getting him to come up and say hello, Dima?" Or wave hello. Did he talk? Would he be mad that she they were disturbing him? It was a he, wasn't it? And yes, she knew it was Dima that had joined her. Good ears and all that. Maddie's mum always said she heard too much for her own good.

The brunette furrowed her brow and cleared her throat, deciding to try flattery and see how that worked. "Oh great and majestic Squid of the Black Lake, your presence is being requested at the dock." How was she doing? "If you could come up to say hello, we'd be ever so grateful." Maddie looked over at Dima and shrugged. Eh, it was worth a shot.

And now they'd just have to wait. Company coming too, apparently. The eleven year old glanced past Dima and down the dock at the approaching figure. Hopefully they weren't in trouble because Maddie couldn't afford detention this early on in her Hogwarts career. Not when she had bigger and possibly more destructive adventures to have later on.
