Salander shot the hedge another alarmed look when Melanie firmly held onto the belief that Fletcher wasnt dead. Then she began to tug at his arm leading him away from the Treehouse. Without any resistance he followed her "Ok. Uh.... whose Masterson?"

But wait, were they really leaving now and going to see.... Masterson?! The Groundskeeper and his Head of House? Sure the guy was cool and all, but Fletcher didn't really... want to get in trouble for a harmless joke....
Gulp.
Common sense told the boy that now was the opportune time to back away. Now would have been the perfect opportunity to run, run, run up to the castle and find a tall tower to hide in for when Melanie eventually found out about their prank. But his curiosity got the best of him (OF COURSE) and instead of sneaking away, Fletcher waited until his friends were well on their way toward Masterson's hut before sneaking out of the bush and following them at a safe distance.
They had better act real torn up about his death in front of the Groundskeeper.
"That's silly though! I'm- I'm... I'm almost positive they're supposed to float." Only now she wasn't. Thanks Salander.
"It's worth checking out though, right?" UGHHHH. What if he was dead and she was wrong? Then they would just be coming here to ask Mr. Materson to fetch their dead friend's body out of the lake...
Back to crazy talk with Salander. He was really going to argue with her over this? Really? Kinda scared by the level of crazy she was witnessing, Melanie gave his hand a little pat.
"...Whatever you say." His analogies weren't that bad, but Melanie did
not believe the Force was present at Hogwarts. It was a nice notion, though.
She led him toward the hut, walking quickly, with purpose.
"He's the Groundskeeper and Hufflepuff Head of House." she answered simply, eying the benches anxiously. She bit her lip, glancing over at Salander. She really didn't want to sit and wait, when Fletcher could be drowning.
So, Melanie gave the door to the hut a good hard knock, before leaning back and waiting on him to answer. At the moment, she was too antsy take a seat.
