|  Oh Hi! I'm Mark XD (Boat's Full) Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.
SPOILER!!: Mariam, Nettie, Kaira, and Anna Quote:

Their walk through the bog was more of a let all the other students give their answers while she observed their surroundings, paying close attention as well to where the professor's light was located.
However, this was the part of the lesson that she wasn't fond of. Boats played no role in her life until this point in time in which she would have happily passed on. Again, apparently there wasn't an option for it... and she had to mingle. Well, not really knowing anyone except whom she ran into on the train, and not particularly enjoying the idea of sharing a boat with them, she chose the first one she saw had an empty space as well as the same robe color as her (Mark).
Ah, well, maybe should've chosen on age too, but what's done is done. Quote:

Spotting Mark in his own boat, Nettie grinned and immediately headed towards that one. As she approached, an older Ravenclaw girl (whose name escaped her at the moment, oops) and climbed in. "Hello!" she piped up as she plopped in. Quote:

'Hi..can I join you guys?,' she asked. Quote:

She was looking forward to encountering the creatures.
When the boats appeared, Anna could hardly see because she wasn't exactly at the front of the group, but she wasn't bothered. Soon enough she managed to get close enough to find a boat with an empty seat. She climbed onto it and greeted those in there. All Ravenclaws, it seemed. Anna didn't have a problem with that. "Hi, all!" She greeted them with a grin as she settled in. "I'm Anna." She introduced herself in case some of them didn't know her name, and also hoping that would make them tell her their names, because although she had seen some of them before, she actually didn't know them.
Except the little boy who was Ravenclaw's keeper the previous year. Gunter. She knew that much. It'd be helpful to know his first name, actually. "Where's my-" There the oar was! The fifth year quickly grabbed one and got ready to row! "Cool!" She finished with a beamy grin. At first it was fine an Older girl from his same house joined him in the boat. That wasn't so bad if others around his age joined him then it wouldn't feel very awkward. In fact he was sure the awkwardness would reverse onto the older girl for getting into a boat of younger students. "Hi." Mark said with a smile to her as she settled into her seat.
Who else. OH Nettie! Mark liked Nettie she was fun to be around, and she was only a year older than him. Wait no not like liked Nettie, maybe he just liked her. "H-hi, Nettie. Welcome aboard!" Heheh that was so dumb and awkward Mark covered his face with his hood a bit more. Maybe he'll go back to disguising his voice again.
Next in Line? a First year. Mark was there once, that was last term. What a weird term that was. Why was he acting awkward in his own thoughts?! C'mon man! Man up!! "S-sure. yeah the more the Merrier." Ah butts he forgot to disguise his voice. Too late now. Just be Mark as Mark as you can be.
Oh...so far it was a Ravenclaw Boat! That made Mark calm down a bit....nope
Who was this? The Gryffindor Captain? Uh...Anna? Mark supposed it was inevitable that his boat wasn't going to be full Ravenclaw. "Hi, Anna I'm Ma..." oh she was already moving on to start rowing, Okay. He grabbed at his oar too then looked at his fellow rowers. Was it on his command to start rowing that was his role as the coxswain to start the process right? Except he had oars too so maybe he wasn't in absolute command?
He looked again....Oh..oh Geeze his Boat was full of girls...Okay that's okay Mark nothing wrong with that. Why hesitate? "W-we can go now. If if you want to go. It's not on my command though, you know. I don't want to be the boss or anything. Just a suggestion." Ugh so much for Mark being as Mark as he could.
Anna was a Gryffindor and a Captain too. She could Captain the Boat instead of him. Please take command! Actually maybe the stern of the boat was on her end anyways. So she was at the front so yeah she was in command!! There, problem solved.
SPOILER!!: You're tearing me apart Maxie! Quote:

The Professor, and the class, carried on. Maxie kept quiet.
Others had spoken the very thoughts he'd been having and been praised for it and- and and- Ugh. Last night had been terrible enough but this felt? Worst. Somehow. He couldn't explain, and he didn't want to and he wouldn't. The Hufflepuff crossed his arms under his chest (careful not to poke himself with his grandfather's wand) and puffed out his cheeks as the Professor talked on and on about Hinkypunks and all the dangers they posed. he was interested, he was, but he was also feeling weird and frustrated too and that kinda cut into his listening.
Boats again, water again. At least this time there wasn't rain. Maxie chewed his lip, peeking around at the other students as they clambered into their boats, and he decided that none of them looked very welcoming. Er. Yeah.. Um..
Fidgeting, the Hufflepuff's eyes fell on a boat with only one occupant- an older boy who looked... fairly... normal....
He weighed his options. He could a)get in the boat or b) fake sick and walk back alone through the dark classroom and- Yeah, no, he was getting into the boat.
"U-Uh... C-can i?" Was he even supposed to be asking? It seemed rude not to.
It hadn't occurred to him until he heard the Headmaster tell this Hufflepuff to not step into his boat that Mark would have felt a little less outnumbered. No he can be here with them! Please...Just make the boat a little bigger or something with your expert magic! Mark just gave the first year Hufflepuff an apologetic look as he was sent elsewhere to be on another boat.
Sorry.
