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.

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.

Oh, the squid. The one that didn't eat children because that was the Groundskeeper's job. Dima remembered!

"D'you know what squids eat?" He wriggled closer to the edge of the dock, eyes patiently locked on the water. "Or what time of day they're most likely to come out? Or what their mating calls sound like?" They could go do research in the library and come back later! "The Groundskeeper says he rescues people sometimes, too. Maybe if one of us gets in and pretends to drown he'll come save us!" THEN they could see him.

Since the flattery option didn't seem to be doing the trick, he was about to start rattling off more ideas. But Dima fell silent when he saw Maddie's gaze change directions, opting to glance down the docks as well. Who was that? Did the stranger know what they were doing over here?

Had they brought squid food?

Probably not, but a kid could hope.
