He blanched. Oh glory be. Mer-poo? He had inadvertently swallowed MER-POO? Oh, Ag! ACK! He gagged, and then tried to wipe his tongue off with his hand before realizing that it, too, had been in contact with Mer-poo.

Oh, gorry!

He gagged again and began rubbing his tongue with the little bit of his towel that was still dry. In a low voice he whispered to the Professor, "You don't think I swallowed much Mer-poo, do you? It's not-- it's not toxic, is it?"

Please don't let it be as toxic as it was DISGUSTING in concept. It was probably like, the key ingredient in draught of the living death or something. He was doooomed.

He rubbed his tongue harder, when he heard a Familiar Voice.



O________O!

He froze.

Ohgoodnessnodon'tletitbeitcan'tbebutit is! Eli turned slowly to see none other than his HERO, his Head of House and Quidditch KING MAXIMUS VINDICTUS, standing there looking supercool. And here he was, soaking wet and with a corner of a towel in his mouth like an idiot infant.

Mer-poo or no, he pulled the towel from his mouth, hoping MAXIMUS VINDICTUS did not see him and think him utterly barmy.

He listened to Vindictus. Mattress races? He was so there. Of course, MAXIMUS VINDICTUS could ask him to go to the bowels of hell for tea with a Dementor and he'd sign on.

That's just what you had to do for a hero.

But mattress races sounded exciting anyway. Maybe he'd win and MAXIMUS VINDICTUS would decide he was awesome! Maybe they'd become, like, pals and he'd give him special flying lessons and stuff!

A boy could dream.




Eli pinked up happily. He could have kissed Gold (well, not really. Cooties, you know.) for making him look good in front of MAXIMUS VINDICTUS and Professor Lainey. He grinned and nodded... Mer-poo, squids and drowning aside, it HAD been fun. "I liked it, too. It was extremely educational, and we learned ...erm... more than I imagined we would, especially about the creatures of the lake." Like, the fact that there is mer-poo in the lake. Probably squid poo, too. One could extrapolate that NONE of the creatures of the deep had plumbing, therefore... Yuck. He restrained himself from rubbing his tongue with the towel again. Barely.

They had landed.

Nicely.

Gold turned to Eli, whose eyes seemed to have lit up, at Professor Vinductus's arrival. Her own gaze, bright and green, switched from the purple-haired first year to the the Flying Instructor, and she half-smiled. She remembered that Professor Lainey had come to Professor V's lesson. So yes, it wasn't unexpected that he was here.

Wouldn't have been, even if Professor Lainey hadn't come to that flying lesson. It was expected because Gold could expect anything [and anyone!] in Professor Lainey's classes.

In Professor Lafay's classes, too.

She straightened up, having dried her hair up with a golden towel that really, really stood out because of how red her hair and swimsuit were and then, vanishing the towel, glanced warily at the lake. She had never thought of Mer-plumbing before, you know. The thought made her feel a wee bit squeamish, but Gold decided things could have been worse.

Because at least the lake water looked clean.

You know?

"Reckon we should get off the EGGCUP?" She asked.

Nonexistent mer-plumbing. EEP.
