She'd have to make sure to remember them (she would, her memory was the beeeest).
Maybe Cal was even more confused that Kinsay had thought him to be. He clearly understood nothing because a squid couldn't just get up and leave Hogwarts! Not even a magical one. Maybe if the Hogwarts lake were actually a beach and connected to the oceans, but lakes were isolated. So. He was wrong. Kinsay made a face to convey her thoughts. Mhm.
She turned to look at him when he sat (though she was still laying on her stomach) and gave him the tiniest of smiles.
Only then he got all confused again and Kinsay was, once again, unimpressed. Hufflepuffs needed to do better, obviously. "Nooo, he's Mr. Henry," she replied firmly. "And I know because my brother said." And Teddy was obviously the authoritative source here. "Besides, Stephen would be a silly name for a squid." She didn't even have to say the same for Declan because that much ought to be obvious. Gosh. As for Cal's Henry theory? "I think he's named after the squid." It was already decided.
Anyway, she had an idea now so she popped up with excitement! "Maybe if we call him, he'll hear us and come say hi?" She also had a point to prove now.
What even was the difference between squids and octopus.....es? Was that the right plural? He'd never seen either of them up close and the whole description made them sound rather similar. Octupusses???? Octopi????? Octopy????? Cathal would have to find someone to ask. Maybe not Kinsay, though. She probably thought he was a bit mad to begin with.
Did the Giant Squid Possibly Known As Henry like pebbles? He could give the thing one, as a welcome offering. If there really was such a thing in the lake.
Cal still thought it might be a possibility that they had left. "How many of you are here????" And had they told her everything about Hogwarts? Because he'd like some more info, please! But not all of it, he liked the mystery of it all too. "How does your brother know then? Did he meet the Squid? Or octopus?" He paused. "Are we certain 'tis a squid, like? Dead certain, like?" Double checking!
