She'd pass on the flippers, though. She didn't even own any.

Waving his flippers at her still didn't answer her question, though. She didn't imagine most people went down to the lake with flippers and a Bubblehead Charm. Then he answered her question. The Giant Squid. Of course she knew about him, but she had no clue how to get him to rise to the surface. She only knew what she'd heard. "So I've heard two things about the squid," she said, edging closer to the lake but not getting in. "One is that he talks just like us, so you could try calling his name. The other is that he eats bread." She didn't know if she wanted to be in the water if and when he appeared, but this was a show she could stick around for.

At the sound of another voice chiming in, Isla turned to see Bernie sitting on a rock, watching them like they were in a show or something. She'd even brought along a snack. "So how do you get him to come to the surface?" she asked, although she was 99.9 percent sure the second year would give them a crazy answer just to sit back and watch them fall. She liked Bernie, and she even thought that they'd make good friends. She could so see the girl pranking them, though.

The flippers were just an added bonus. If he had packed some floaties, he would've dragged them out to the lake too. On a different day of course; today was all about meeting the famous squid that his brother had told him so much about.

But apparently there were a few things about the squid that Asher didn't know. "I didn't know he liked bread. I would've snuck some out of the kitchens on my way from my common room if I had known," he responded with a shrug. "Do you know his name? My brother told me the squid was actually Godric Gryffindor in disguise, but I dunno if I really believe him..." The Hufflepuff learned rather quickly that Kenny had told many lies to him about Hogwarts, so he wasn't exactly sure what or who to believe anymore.

Speaking of Gryffindor, he and Isla weren't the only ones out and about. The boy gave the girl a look over. She didn't seem THAT much older, but maybe she knew a thing or two. She was right about that Bubblehead Charm — it was gradually beginning to fade, not that he noticed.

"What Isla said," he replied, looking out at the two girls from his standing position a few feet in the lake. "I was just gonna swim out a bit and wait around a bit and see if he showed up." If anything, he'd at least get a good swimming session in. "But if you have a better way of getting him to come out, then I'm game. What do we gotta do?"


Mmm, the squid liked bread. Bernie dug around in her bag and pulled out two sandwiches in a baggie. They were definitely not leftover from the train. "D'ya think Barty would like these?" she offered, dangling them out over the water for the boy to take. "Oh, his name is Bartholomew Henry, by the way," she answered his question, which wasn't directed to her, but which she couldn't resist sharing.

No, y'know, she hadn't heard the rumour about Godric Gryffindor disguising himself as a squid, but it was cool if so. She shrugged at the Hufflepuff's swimming idea. "I say go for it, but be sure to take the sandwiches with you. Then you can ask him to come visit ALL of us. He speaks English, I'm pretty sure." And this boy could do all the talking. She didn't really feel like getting her feet wet today. Plus, this rock was warmed by the sun and she had candy to eat.
