Originally Posted by Felixir 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. Quote:

Thats one way to surf at Hogwarts or get a similar experience. Derf really did have some good ideas sometimes.
OH RIGHT.
They did have to ask permission. But like Abra (Abey) said if it could hold a half giant it could hold three students. It was a long walk back to his Hut and really they could ask for forgiveness later. They would have to vote on it or well just see if they wanted to sail row in general. "Sailing sounds a a lot more fun than rowing or if we can magically get around the Lake that would be awesome. Just yeah Bartholomew might not like Ventus. Its a long walk back to the Hut just to ask permission"
Théo didnt really care either way but one was not a waste of time.
"I vote we just go out on the Lake and worry about the Groundskeeper later. Unless he is hiding and watching us right now"
Théo took a quick look around suspiciously Spells could work. They wouldn't come from Bel though. She was right smack bang in the average category for her age when it came to spellwork, even a slight head start the previous year having already done half of her second year back home hadn't helped much with that. Abra's logic about the boats was really good too: and on closer inspection Bel was pretty sure they'd hold just fine. The three of them, because yes she was absolutely including Abra, wouldn't have any trouble really. "I haven't met Bartholomew Henry yet, but I reckon his name is bonza!"
But now it was question of permission. The boys clearly were inclined to just go ahead and assume they had it, but Bel quite needed to use the loo and didn't much like the idea of being out on a boat with her bladder growing increasingly more urgent with its needs, so she figured she'd just do the asking. "Well I need to use the dunny, so I'll go run back to the castle," Bel declared shamelessly. Yes, up the cliff, she could run that no sweat, "And on my way back I'll just rock up and ask if we can take her out, then we don't need to worry about him maybe throwing a wobbly if we don't ask."
Sounded good? She looked between the two of them expectantly.
