"I think it's four to a boat," she said, squinting at the Groundskeeper man for confirmation. Quote:

" Gather up quickly!!!! We don't have all day and I need to get a shot of the squid!" Yes he was yelling but he needed all of them to listen. He had some shots to get and the opportunity would not miss him. CLICK CLICK CLICK! "Boat two!" yes they were boat two.
CLICK CLICK CLICK. Quote:

"Prince Daxton I'm so glad to see you didn't get assassinated this summer! Good on you! OH LETS GET IN THE BOAT! We have to save room for DAVIE though okay?"And who cared about maximum capacity? That one boy was asking too many questions! She was already aboard, after having LEAPT into the boat which rocked beneath her but the small blonde didn't seem to care. She sat right up front and tried not to bounce to much in her seat.
HOGWARTS! "Get in unless you want to be LAST!" Quote:

At first, Daxton could see why it might be wise to find out the maximum capacity of these boats, but in actuality all the first years differed in height and weight, and considering they were all reasonably small to start with, a little difference might just make... well, a big difference. He wanted the maximum capacity provided in proper measurements. Pounds or kilos, it didn't matter which, as long as it was precise. Not something so vague and unreliable as 'four to a boat'.
Daxton took a look at the kid next to him. Taking a different boat would be a good idea, but for two things: 1. Daxton wasn't getting into a boat at all, and 2. if he was, he wasn't planning on sharing with anyone, especially someone he didn't know. What exactly would stop this other boy from trying to knock Daxton out, or rock the boat and tip it over?
... Char was here. It was impossible not to notice her as she dashed past him, all but yelling about those assassins again (Daxton cast another suspicious look at the boy next to him). She jumped right into the nearest boat, proving him absolutely correct in his worries about them rocking and tipping. What the... she was even bouncing while sitting inside.
Daxton deadpanned. The mere thought of sitting in a boat with Char sent literal shivers through him. If he had to ride in a boat with her, he knew that this would be the end. He would die tonight, crossing this lake. He wouldn't even know what House he'd have been sorted into.
A sudden thought struck Daxton. If he didn't get on a boat, did that mean that he wouldn't get to go to Hogwarts? Before he could ruminated on that for very long, the shore began to fill up with more first years swarming towards the remaining boats. Daxton took an instinctive step towards the boat that Char and Davie were in and away from the children he did not recognise, but still didn't climb aboard. He couldn't even claim an empty boat, because someone would definitely join him.
Daxton just stood there, by Char and Davie's boat and the possible assassin but still very much on the shore, not knowing quite how to solve this dilemma.
And Bentley was taking pictures.
Of course he was. Quote:

Who were these other people she was talking to and would they be nice to him? He looked around them with bright, but cautious, blue eyes. Two girls think it's four people. Aldous didn't understand why one of them was apologizing. She shouldn't be, she just answered his question. The boy nodded at the two girls. And the camera boy was stating the obvious. "I wouldn't want the boat to topple over either," Duh. His eyes next trailed to the girl named Charlotte who was bossy according to camera boy. The information was noted including the bit about the silent kid. Camera boy seemed to have a lot of information about people. Aldous welcomed information of ALL kinds. You never know when it's needed.
Although he wasn't quite satisfied with the vague answer he decided to let it drop. "Okay, so four people it is," Aldous nodded at the people in the first boat and turned to the second one where the blonde girl just hopped in there. He didn't plan on getting there last so he joined the girl. And a friend of the girl joined as well. The first year glanced back at the silent kid and wondered if he was going to join them. "Don't you wanna join?" He seemed to take a step towards the boat but then stopped.
"I am Aldous," He announced if anyone was interested in this piece of information. His father told him to introduce himself all the time. And now that he got that out of the way he started examining the boat from the inside. Must be a magical and unique boat!
