It was very possible he had just missed Wiley several times over during their respective wanderings, but now he happened across his Hufflepuff friend.

Although, when Regulus approached Wiley, it was still with one final obstacle between them. The pit of slugs, to be precise. He crouched down on his end and inspected the slime as well.

"What are we doing?" he called across to Wiley, pushing his hair back out of his face as it fell into his eyes.
Poke, poke, poke.

Wiley poked his wand at different spots in the slime pit, watching as the slugs wriggled in different directions. But he was very careful not to hurt any! He wasn't trying to be mean, he just wanted to play with them a little. He laughed a bit, not realizing anyone else was there, but stopped abruptly when he heard a voice from across the pit.

"Reggie!" The eleven year old had looked up suddenly to see Regulus and he gave him a cheery grin... that soon evaporated when he realized their predicament. How were they supposed to hang out and explore together or whatever they might do when there was a big slime pit between them?

"How did you get over there?" Wiley peered past the boy opposite himself. The obvious answer was that Regulus had come from a different way. If he had known that they were both exploring at the same time but in different locations, just missing each other, he might have been a little bummed out. They could have been doing this together the whole time! But the important thing now was that they could explore together now. Maybe.

"I'm just exploring, I guess," he belatedly answered his pal's question. "You wanna explore with me?" If they could both be on the same side, that is. Wiley stood up, but looked down at the slime pit. "How deep do you think this thing is?" Could he walk across or was it like quicksand?
