Emmalyn hurried down to the Great Lake, stomach overfull from eating too much too fast. She new that last serving was more than her little stomach could handle, but the food was just too good to pass up. Coming to a halt at the edge of the class area, she rubbed her aching side and took a few deep breaths.

She slowly made the final few meters towards the other students. "Good afternoon Professor Wayland, you too Mr. Henry." Glancing around she spotted several of her friends had already arrived. "Hey Captain Bel!" She smiled and waved at her house captain before wandering closer to the table. "Hi Ewan." She greeted her partner then eyed the supplies the professor had placed on the table.

Her heart sank a bit. Sure, she was prepared to get wet, but she hadn't put it together that they might be going into the great lake. What she had in mind, she wasn't exactly sure of, but it wasn't swimming with a giant squid or any of the other various magical creatures lurking in the lake. Plus, weren't they supposed to wait an hour after eating before getting in a lake?
