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.

He will just cant forget his boarding shorts and his towel. Pretty sure he brought them.

"Must suck that you cant surf here. These boats look exactly the same"

Magic was still weird after 3 years here. Uh what? Oh Abra (Abey) was here. What was he doing down here. Nevermind. Guess they were eventually going to go boating or sailing...boating. After exploring this house. And nothing to be embarrassed about since this was no secret date and well this was a weird place to have a date.

"After we got bored of looking around. You think these boats can handle us"

They weren't first years anymore and now it was three people.

Also they really should make some time to come up with a signal or code word like banana pancakes for stuff like that secret stuff or dates with girls or whoever.


"Oh yeah it does suck that I can't surf.... but Derfael had an idea to ask the squid to make waves for us and see if they would be surfable! I'm not sure if it will work but I'm willing to try!" And even maybe try some other magical means to have a surf beach for her and Liam to practice on? Others would wanna give it a burl too, probably. Surfing was fun.

She looked at the boats when Théo said the boats hadn't changed and then Abra arrived. "Oh, hi Abra!" She greeted the older boy with genuine good cheer and welcome. Boating or sailing, either way she was pretty keen to get out there. Why not? "Definitely not sailing without a sail...... we should rig up a sail, like a dinghy! Bet we could. Do we gotta go ask permission first, you reckon?" That last, a question for both boys.
