SPOILER!!: the Bel and Théo collective

Ever since Abra was younger, like... much younger, like... mega young, like PRACTICALLY not even BORN (except maybe not that young), he'd liked exploring and going on kidventures. Before Hogwarts, he had been determined that one day he would go on an adventure nobody had never been on before, and discover something new and amazing. First year at school had sort of knocked his confidence a lot, and for a while he'd been a little bit far too terrified to go on any sort of exploration expedition or adventure by himself, even in Egypt. For a long time he liked everything to be safe and predictable, sticking only to places he knew or that were well-populated, especially around Hogwarts.

Maybe he still felt a little bit like that in a lot of ways, but a part of him had recently start yearning for something new and exciting (but not life-threatening, you know?) and that yearning had become gradually more pronounced and he had become gradually more antsy. Because of the whole permanent state of anxiety thing, he'd not once attempted to explore the school and grounds since his first year, even though there was plenty more to see. THAT was what had brought him down to the boathouse early on in the term, all bundled up even though they weren't even that far out of the summer holidays.

The fact that the boathouse was out on the grounds was a big plus, because Abra still wasn't ready to go poking around the castle for REASONS, and the only downside was that going outside meant being... outside.

Down at the doorway into the boathouse, Abra poked his head inside the weird building-but-not-but-actually-technically-yes-it-was-a-building-actually, only to spot two very familiar figures.

"Are you guys going boating?" That was the sentence that served as a greeting as Abra peered at them, letting his eyes adjust to the gloom after the relative brightness of outside. "Is it boating? Or sailing? Except actually I don't think it can be sailing if there's no sails."

The Abra around his friends was a very different, and much more relaxed and sociable person than the Abra around people he didn't know so well. He might have worried that he was intruding on a date or something, if he didn't know about Théo's situation. Although... maybe he was intruding on a FRIEND date, or a SECRET date........

....... Well, if that was the case, he'd make himself scarce if they seemed like they didn't want him to be there. He'd spent enough time with Théo over their lives that he liked to think he'd be able to pick up on a signal like that.

Oh" well not here since there obviously were none in the boathouse but you understand. Oh good he didn't. Well one worry is gone. "Mhm...after breakfast sounds good. Rather eat before doing all this" Wait...how early does she wake up to be able to for a run with Liam. Like Théo had a hard enough time getting down for breakfast. He walked over to the actual boats and look in them to see if they were any different or older looking than the ones he took first year. Nope. Sad. "No, just something i never got around to. That would be an awful fear with a lake here and all" And would have made the boat ride here when he was 11 horrible Quote: Originally Posted by Tegz If she was honest, Bel wasn't sure how people got embarrassed about little things like floaties. Or generally got worried about looking silly or anything like that. Wasn't it a bit fun sometimes to be a dag? "Okay. After breakfast it is." It was decided. Théo would learn how to swim. It'd be a blast. He would see how much he'd been missing out on. "I've lived by the ocean my whole life." Well, one ocean or another. "I love the ocean." Did he know she surfed? "I surf." Well, now he did. Bel joined him by the boats with interest. She hadn't ever been in them of course. She didn't come here as a first year.
