"Water?" he echoed dumbly, firmly shaking his head. "I-I can't even-" Whatever forces helped people float like Shera just did moments earlier... they didn't work on him. "Nuh-uh. And there's-there's grindylows, and the Giant Squid! And Merlin knows what else." There was no way he was getting in that lake.
When she'd asked him how he liked Gryffindor, he unconsciously tugged on the ends of the red tie he'd loosened around his neck, choosing to focus on it instead of their feet. "It was-unexpected, don't you think?" She didn't even have to know him very well to know he wasn't the bravest lion there's ever been. "But everyone's been so nice and welcoming that I can't help but love it." Even though everyone was loud and bright and cheery and everything he was not.
"What's Ravenclaw like?" he asked with a smile, finally looking at Shera... until he realized that she was still only in her bathing suit, and focused back on his tie like it was the most interesting thing in the world.

He can't even?
Was it possible that he couldn't swim? Shera wasn't sure if she went with the right assumption, especially because he was pointing out valid things when it came to the Grindylows.
"Well the giant squid is harmless according to older students. And I've heard there's also mermaids in the water which is really cool!"
That probably wasn't going to help his desire to not go into the water, but she couldn't help bouncing on her toes at the idea. Plus, she was fine. Wasn't that enough evidence?
"I'm glad you like it there," she was smiling nicely at him, because she really was happy that he liked it.
"Ravenclaw's good. I really like the colour theme of the common room! But... I also get what you mean, I didn't really expect to be where I am."
Shera was still half expecting the hat to call her back and tell her that it had made a mistake.
Her eyes glanced over to the tentacles now popping out of the lake and grinned at the squid that was asking them how they were. She quickly shot a glance at Daehyun as if to say 'I told you it was fine,' before skipping down to the edge of the lake again.
"Hey Mr Squid! I'm enjoying it a lot, are you?"
