"Feel free to call me Bartholomew. Not Bart, Barty or any variation. I dislike nicknames you see but my full name is always the best way to get my attention.'' Tentacles absently splashed water as the other student was addressed. "Has it been busy with classes as yet?''
Shera couldn't help but giggle along with Daehyun at the fact that she had just gotten out of the water before the Giant Squid showed up. But she did listen by dropping the towel and walking back into the water, sitting down at a point where the water was half way up her stomach. That would give her the best place to be talking to both Daehyun and Bartholomew.
Although her curls were going frizzy now that they were starting to dry. With that in thought she dropped her head forward to wet her hair again.
"It is really nice," she agreed with the squid.
"It's really nice to meet you Bartholomew, I'm Shera." Because she was definitely going to be around long into the future, just because the lake gave her a place to swim.
"Have you been in this lake all of your life?" SPOILER!!: Daehyun <3

"Fine," he sulked jokingly, trying and failing to look upset, although his lips had stretched into a smile. "I've no choice but to trust you, now do I?" Maybe it wouldn't be so bad- oh, who was he kidding? It was going to be bad, but he would give it a try. Though he was reconsidering her offer to help, only because he didn't want to make such a big fool of himself around her.
His eyes went glowing at the mention of her kitten. "Please bring the kitten out one day?" It went without saying that he wanted to snuggle the furry creature - he just didn't want to admit how weak he was for such things. Sadly shaking his head when she'd asked if he'd brought more pets to Hogwarts, he said, "I wish I could've brought them all, but Felicis is the only one. And if you brought treats to the owlery, I'm pretty sure you two are best friends for life already," he said with a straight and serious face - and he was as serious as a heart attack. The owl would be faithful to whoever fed her, the little traitor.
"Oh, mother tried to get rid of them, too," he said, laughing as that day was replaying in his head. "I thought she was going to murder them all with her bare hands when they'd pushed her into the lake." While he and his father had to keep a straight face on at the sight that awaited them after hearing the hysteric screams. "I'm glad I was there." He had the puppy eyes mastered.
Daehyun's eyes widened when Shera had told him she'd actually fallen asleep outside the common room. "Oh, no. That's so-cruel." Cruel of whoever came up with that kind of password. Wasn't it possible to change the system- "OH!" he exclaimed, his wide eyes brightening all of a sudden. "Father's told me about the Room of Requirement! We have to find it!" It couldn't be that impossibly difficult to find, could it?
"Elizabeth?" he repeated, unsure of which portrait she was talking about, until- "Oh..." He couldn't find anything else to say, as it had been drilled into him that pure-bloods were the superior wizards, and he'd lost count of how many times he'd fought with several family members on the subject.
Shera shifted her entire body around, in order to be able to easily look up at Daehyun. Would he join her in the water? By like, putting his feet in?
Daehyun had to trust her now? Shera wasn't sure if that was part of him joking or if he actually meant it, but it did end in her giving him the biggest smile that she had. And that was saying something considering her general expression was just beaming at everyone. She was also determined. She was not going to let him down. He was definitely still worried about it, and Shera could kind of
but not really understand that.
"I will bring her out soon, she just spends a lot of time sleeping at the moment so she stays in Ravenclaw tower most of the time at the moment," Shera explained, thinking about the little cat. She had bought her for that exact reason, because that little cat could sleep waaaay longer than Shera could.
She couldn't hold back her giggle about the comment of the traitorous owl, but she shrugged her shoulders.
"I think all owls are like that," or at least it was her personal experience. She managed to give him a mischievous smile.
"I mean, I tend to bribe them with treats anyways. And I've found building up a relationship of 'I bring you food' in advance is always very effective."
Her head tilted to the side curiously.
"The room of requirement?" she mimicked as a question. It sounded vaguely familiar, but she couldn't for sure say that she knew what it was.
"Yeah... I mean my grandma is the same but... my parents just never cared," she explained with a light shrug. The 'oh' made her assume that he also had experience like that. But she was aware that maybe the opposite was true and it was his shock at never having experience that way of thinking.
