It was really a good thing that the cold Scotland weather hadn't set in yet and that the water from the hot springs was warm. She did have to smile too, because the young girl who jumped into the water was so carefree and how Skylar desperately wished for those days again. Not a care in the world, it seemed and Skylar doubted she realized how lucky she was. No, because when you're that age, all you can think of is how you want to be older. But no one realizes that with age comes emotions and feelings and responsibilities. Or they do realize it, but naivety and denial keeps one from accepting it.

"Hey. Nice to meet you, Shera. I'm Skylar. First year?" Because it was kind of obvious, but she wanted to confirm. "Want me to dry your towel for you for when you're done?" Because hot air charms were great for that and if she was a first year, surely she wouldn't be competent in such a charm yet. And the towel was super wet.

It was pretty clear that she was older, but she still wasn't good at estimating ages so she figured asking was better than assuming. At the offer of drying her towel, Shera couldn't help but beam at the older girl.

"Yes please, I should really get around to learning that charm myself... but I haven't quite gotten there yet..." she responded, with a shy shrug. There wasn't all that much she could do about it yet. She was practicing her spells as far as she could but she definitely had a ways to go.


The boot was finally off and the Gryffindor was determined to celebrate by getting wet, something that he hadn't been able to do for a good portion of the summer. But the lake was too crowded (read: too surrounded by judge-y people) for his liking, so Ronan made his way to the usually less crowded hot springs instead. Besides, all that warm water was supposed to be good for your muscles, right?

Reaching the springs, he found that it was, in fact, less crowded, the only other two people around being Skylar Diggory and a younger girl he didn't know. Fine by him. He slipped off his shirt and flip-flops, placing them on the deck, leaving just his swim trunks (red with the Gryffindor shield on one leg) before backing up a little. Then, he suddenly took off running full-tilt towards the end of aforementioned deck, leaping off at the end. "Cowabunga!"

*SPLASH*

The sixth year's flying leap sent water splashing everywhere.

Oops?
