 For Sarah + the Squid! and mention of Olly Unforgivably Cursed | adultescent
Outside was one of Henry's favorite places to be and that's exactly where he was today. It was still a rather warm day, though he'd still go out if it wasn't, and he wandered down to the lake looking for something to do. It did cross his mind to go swimming though not until after he was already outside and so he simply sat on the dock with his trouser legs rolled up and his bare feet dangling in the water.
Glancing out at the water, Henry wondered if he'd see anyone he knew, either walking by or in the water. He didn't always like to be alone with his thoughts and often preferred the company of others. Squinting at the figure swimming a little further out, he realized it was Olly and he gave him a cheerful wave. Maybe he should join him.
But wait. Was that the squid? Henry hadn't seen him in the past four years that he had been at Hogwarts and was starting to think he was no more than a myth. Even if he was told by a select few people that they had seen him. Sitting up with interest, the fifteen year old stared at the giant squid for a moment before waving back. At least he thought that was a wave coming from the water creature.
