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. Quote:

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. Abra was peering a little EXTRA hard at Théo to try and ascertain whether he was getting 'GO AWAY' vibes from him, and all his staring and squinting might have looked a little odd perhaps, except that Abra wasn't that worried about it because neither Bel nor Théo had ever been the type to make him feel self-conscious about things. They were both the rare kind of people where it was easy to be completely natural around them, because he never felt like any judgement was coming his way. With Théo it had a lot to do with the fact that they'd been friends for so long, and with Bel it was because that was just the sort of person she was.
Anyway. Yes. No. No such look was coming his way, and in fact they both seemed perfectly fine in including him in the conversation. Abra proceeded into the boathouse, and joined him at the boats, grinning at his friends. "Hi." Hi friends. "I think the boats will hold you. The groundskeeper takes a boat when he's escorting first years, right? And a million years ago the gamekeeper was I think a half-giant, and he must have used the boats then. So, you'll be fine." Also, magic.
Also also, he had definitely just said 'you' and not 'us', because, as the interloper, he didn't want to go ahead and just INVITE HIMSELF ALONG. "Also, maybe there's a version of Ventus or something that could keep blowing loads of air. Then if you had a sail you could aim it at that, or on the water behind the boat to blast it forwards. You could do it to make waves too, actually--" Had he heard them say something about wanting to make waves before? "--But... you'd have to check Bartholomew Henry didn't mind anyone casting it on the water. He doesn't even like people dropping stones into the edge of the lake sometimes." Sometimes the Squid could be a little testy but then other times he could be lovely. Generally speaking, Abra didn't really know what to make of him.
ANYWAY. He didn't even know if such a spell existed, so this was all just him thinking aloud. "I think we're maybe sort of supposed to ask permission before using any of the boats. Technically." Actually, not technically. Actually, more like actually, but that was so much effort. Who even KNEW where the groundskeeper was right now? Abra also often subscribed to the idea that it was better (and easier) to ask forgiveness than permission, but... then again, Baldvinsson was mega fun, and Abra liked to believe he was the type of professor that allowed the students to do almost anything in the name of a good time. Why risk upsetting him when the answer was likely to be 'yes' anyway? Abra looked over at Théo. "Do you think he'd be somewhere nearby?" The gamekeeper, that is.
