"But we haven't finished our laps yet," he said with an innocent dutifulness, no oath of loyalty here but simply his own work ethic showing of wanting to finish what he started.
"Here...lemme...give this a whirl," he nodded as he pulled his wand from his tracksuit bottoms and held it out in the air. He was...pretty good with this spell by now, at least there was no chance of the Ravenclaw getting a jet of water in the face. "Aguamenti," he gently commanded, an equally gently stream of water spouting from his wand as a sort of wizarding DIY fountain. "You will finish," he assured the younger boy, throwing Lizzie a small smile as well at her offer to the fourth year as he held his wand out for Dorian to drink his fill. "At your own pace and your terms." Since, thankfully, that seemed to be the agreement between the two new Hogwarts staff. Just get the laps done.
And, you know, since he had his wand out NOW it would be super convenient if Zoryn would happen to pass by so he could give that transfiguration of her slippers a proper go.
