"You could try calling his name," the Hufflepuff quickly interjected. There was no point in trying to pretend like he'd accidentally overheard them. "Saves you getting all covered in lake water and stuff."

By now he'd reached the kids, both of whom he recognised vaguely from the Ravenclaw table on the night of the Sorting. Toby didn't sit down yet, but stood back a little, squinting in the late September sun and unconsciously fiddling with the zip of his hood.

She would have asked him if he'd do the honors since she didn't act and wasn't particularly fond of the whole drowning thing-fake or otherwise-but the older boy was more interesting at the moment. Plus he seemed to have an idea that wouldn't require her or Dima jumping into the water. She could get down with something like that.

"What's his name, anyway?" Maddie sat up properly and scooted to face the older boy, noting that he'd been sitting at their table during the feast. "And what's yours?" And he was fiddling with his zipper an awful lot. Ben said that people did stuff like that when they were nervous and up to no good. THIS kid wasn't up to know good, was he? ~~Cause if he was, maybe they could help him out.~~ Speculative looks for this boy.

"I'm Maddie and this is Dima." Cause introductions. Y'know.

Most people would've been unnerved to know that someone had been listening in on their conversation, but that clearly wasn't the case with Dima. Swiveling around on his belly to face the newcomer instead of sitting up like Maddie, he propped his chin up on his hands to listen. The squid had a NAME?

All ears here, clearly.

He didn't much mind being introduced either, grinning cheerfully. Dima! That was him, yup!

With it being the beginning of the school year, it took longer to find the boy person than usual since all the students were flooding the grounds, but find him he did. Furmy swooped down in a circular motion, landing on one of the dock posts right beside the boy and staaaaaaring at him with his large owl eyes.

"Hooo."

Could the small human tell that he was hungry? Furmy put on what was akin to a pathetically starved look and waited around even while the letter had started babbling on in an obnoxiously loud and excited tone.

Feeeeeeeeeed me.... please?

Dear Dima,

Congratulations! Keiran told me you got Ravenclaw! That is SO exciting I'm SO proud of you and so is Copernicus! Ravenclaw is the best house at Hogwarts, as I'm sure you have already worked out. You'll always be free to be who you are in Ravenclaw, and you won't be judged for it. There's no better place to learn and have fun while you're doing it. I was going to save this for Charlotte when SHE gets sorted into Ravenclaw, but I want you to have this map of the castle and grounds. It shows all the shortcuts and fastest way to get to all the different classrooms, and I marked a whole bunch of places on it where you can hide things, and the best places to read quietly and be alone are since sometimes that is hard at Hogwarts. I used to use it all the time. Its charmed to tell you how long it will take you to get from point A to point B on the map, just tap where you want to go with your wand and well, you'll see! I also wanted to send you some candy but your uncle Copernicus is a spoil sport and wouldn't let me, he said you'll get plenty of that on your own.

Love you very much!

Auntie Cela

[ooc: like a reverse howler, this letter is charmed first to spit out celebratory streamers and confetti, and then to pepper its receiver with kisses. It gushes with Celandine's actual voice, loudly, and without any particular regard for any shame that might be caused]

Dima probably wouldn't have noticed the owl if not for the tiny 'hooo', but that was enough to get his attention. Turning slightly to face it, he eyed the creature curiously. Was it lost or something? "Is that.... for me?" He hadn't responded to letters from home yet, so it was rather unexpected.

But he detached the letter from the owl anyway... and almost immediately regretted the decision. It was hard to tell which hit him first, Aunt Cela's loud and gushy voice or the streamers and confetti. The kid was so surprised that most of the words went in one ear and out the other.

And then the KISSES. Merlin.

Blushing somewhat noticeably, he swatted at the letter a couple of times, enough to effectively kill it's bounciness and render it limp and lifeless on the dock. Auntie Cela was the nicest and he'd thank her lots for the letter and the map later... but did her voice have to be THAT loud?

He picked a piece of confetti out of his hair and looked at the owl. Did... did it want a knut? Dima didn't have a knut.
