While Sabel was looking all over the place, Cosgrach's eyes were on him - not in a staring way, of course, but casually, since he didn't pick up anything to distract himself. 'Round of the grounds' yeah yeah. Cosgrach had never been close to Medea, but he missed the woman. He bet she wouldn't feel the need to guard the grounds.

"Hogwarts does that," he said, "we all somehow love it here and the memories are... strong when we return." He just got used to being "back" after five years, was all.

Well, no, Sabel was being very un-Auror rigt now. Not only was he, like, talking; but he was also being... human-like. This one must have been a great Auror, then - passing with O from every 'act like a human' tests. Hmm... Well, then. If he wanted to... Cosgrach could and would have a conversation, because he was a friendly man and he could speak about Helena even with his arch enemy.

Grinning, he said "Hope you enjoyed them. Yeah, she's my first, though I already have three step children." He paused to smile at the thought of his family.

"How about you? Any kids?"



"Canada. Kamloops to be exact." Did he expect the man to know where it was? Not really. It just seemed weird not giving the name of his hometown. "Yourself?"

Sabel flicked the stone out over the water, watching as it skipped across the black surface as his mind went from one memory to the next. Cosgrach got an understanding smile and a nod as he straightened. "You too then. What house?"

Ten galleons were on Ravenclaw. It was something about the way the eyes moved, masking many reserved thoughts. Had he been anywhere else but standing on the edge of the lake, talking about school memories and families, he might have been on edge. As it was, he couldn't find any reasonable cause to be concerned.

Except when the mention of enjoying the candy came up. Sabel kept his smile in place and nodded in what he perceived as a very convincing manner. "Very tasty." He was sure they were. "It sounds like you have a beautiful family."

He had said congratulations, right? He was sure he did.

Squatting, Sabel picked up another few stones, his smile taking on a proud note. "Two of them. Growing up too fast for my liking, though." It felt like it wouldn't be long before he was sending them both off to Hogwarts.

Spinning one rock in his hand, he glanced at Cosgrach curiously. "You know how to skip?"
