Anyhow, during his free time, like today, he'd spent hours looking for that secret place his older brother talked about. Noah said that it too held treasures. What kind you might ask? Clearly not the scholarly kind, but something that leaned towards his... hobbies. Nevertheless, he was curious, and perhaps he could turn it into his own hideout. His Transfiguration skills were coming along well, after all.

His meandering about the grounds led him to the Black Lake and stopped in his tracks as soon as he heard singing. "Eurgh." He had the urge to turn around and go back to his aimless walking, but the excited vibe coming off of the Gryffindor had him approaching, sitting nearby, listening to her singing.

Was she plotting? "Ahoy, matey."
In fact, the Gryffindor in question didn’t necessarily know about any treasures hidden in the library. At the very least, Sable Ileana had likely a much different definition of what entailed a treasure, had anyone bothered to ask her. Maybe the portraits, given her running campaign to get them to participate in a sort of call and response singalong situation. Actually, maybe it was the song that was the problem in that aspect, but the current selection was rather adored by the blonde. A sea shanty but also not.

One thing she absolutely could have been of use, had he asked, was in finding anything around the castle. She’d done enough exploration to know nearly every hidden corner. Except, she rather expected there were still secrets that the castle was holding back. There was plenty of time before seventh year to really decipher all the secrets. For now, though, it was the matter of convincing granddad to let her borrow his boat over the summer.

All she needed was someone older, hence the idea to ask her cousin. Her dad might work, too, if he didn’t have to work. Hence the singing to herself. It helped her think. So did the lake.

It took her a second to realize someone had sat near her, but the greeting got something of a double take. “Enzo!”, she responded brightly, nearly flinging herself his way but stopping herself at the last second. Maybe he didn’t like hugs. Plus, pirates didn’t fling themselves at people. Especially at the edge of a lake.
