She needed to collect sticks next, the total number pending the size of the sticks and how easily she could snap them, but that was not what had brought her to the boathouse.

No, something more exhilarating lured her here and she had approached the auspicious space with wide eyes and a racing heart.

She could see no one from her point of view but the yell seemed to echo in the space, a vengeful disembodied voice that surely only meant one thing. A haunting.

Quietly, she tip toed along the wooden dock with her eyes cast to the walls looking for scratch marks or other signs of unrest when she heard the sloshing of water and the knocking of one of the boats against the dock. Peculiar. Eagerly approaching the boat, and still unable to see that there was an older student submerged in the water since she was on the other side of it presently, she squatted in front of it and waved her hand over the boat...but felt no change in temperature there.

Hmmm.

"Shall I untie the boat?" she asked the air.

There might have indeed been a haunting here, something Henry wouldn't even try to refute. So much bad energy and bad luck already, surely a ghost or malevolent spirit caused it because there clearly was no other reason for how quickly things moved south in what was supposedly a good day.

After massaging his sore hand, Henry was successfully able to pull his bag from between the boat and the wall. It had already been heavy, but with the water getting on all the places, it felt like twice its weight at this point. With much more force and effort, he tossed it towards one of the stone steps near the dock, that students used from getting in and out of the boats, and it landed in a wet squish. He'd have to check his things there and dry them up later. His mum was going to give him a good yelling if nothing in there was salvageable!

Still in the water, Henry was ready to get out of there, but he needed to remove his shoes first. He had just took his left shoe, given it a nice shake to release any excess water when.... huh? The boat??? "What? Uh, w-why?" The Hufflepuff asked right back, to whoever it was. Henry couldn't see, he was down here. Why would anyone untie the boat anyway?

Confusion taking over, Henry tossed his left shoe upwards in an almost involuntary move on his part. The shoe flew in projectile motion, hopefully landing on dry, stony land. He waited for the potential squelching noise from the contact.
