Rex moved a little. "What, do not sail yet? Rex asked and heard those words. Rex swam back to shore and pulled his sailboat back with him
Eli breathed. At least the kid wasn't going to die. That would put a damper on the whole sailing thing.
Not that he really had the faintest idea of what sailing really had to do with History of Magic. He must not have been paying attention when the professor explained it. He turned his attention back to Gold.
"Hey Gold... How are rafts History, did she say? I kind of missed something, I think."
Daisy laughed.Her up to no good. Impossible.Daisy shook her head."Interesting. No. I mean, yes?" then there was the word safety belts, she knew there was something missing but then the professor said something about one of her own and nodded. Then a string connected her wrist to Carson's.Daisy lifted her wrist and Carson's went up with it. "Professor is this really necessary? I mean it's a great idea that way if I fall overboard he has no choice but to save my life. BUT...but....uh...but." Daisy couldn't find a reason to not have the string. "Never mind it'll work itself out." She walked around trying to pace but having to drag Carson along with her made it complicated.
Carson just stood there in and zoned out. His wrist was attached to hers and she was trying to get it unattached. She did have a good point though. Know he'd HAVE to save her little firstie butt if he could. Without warning he was dragged back and forth while Daisy started pacing. "So..? How are we gonna make the boat move and how are we going to work this out?" He asked lifting his wrist which moved hers.

Sorry!?
That's all he had to say about the MURDER of her duckie floatie? Destiny narrowed her eyes towards the Purple Headed Cretin. He would pay!
He'd pay when he woke up one morning with the DEAD rubber duck floatie in bed with him.

Picking her wand back up since it was thrown from her hand when she fell backward, Evelyn moved forward to help Destiny up. Killed her duck? Before holding her hand out as an offer to help her Slytherin friend up, the hazel eyed girl looked down at the floatie that Destiny was wearing.
Yea, she couldn't help the few chuckles that escaped her, despite the situation they were in.
"You should've listened to Marie." she said, holding her hand out for Destiny to take. "C'mon. We'll get him later." That was something she didn't even have to promise. They WOULD be getting him later.
Pfft.
Everyone just thought the death of her floatie was such a big joke, did they? Well, it was not funny, not even the slightest. "Very funny." she mumbled, taking Evelyn's offered hand and hoisting herself up. Wiping herself off, she glanced over to Mina to see if she was alright and all..and she was. Destiny gave the Ravenclaw a thumbs up, before taking off her dead floatie.
"There, the floatie is off." No reason to have a dead duck floatie around one's waist.
The boy would pay..or get Destiny another floatie. Whichever.

"STUDENTS and SAILORS.... and PIRATES," 'cause there were a few of those now, "we have need to sail before sunset! So finish up, my dear ones, or you'll be swimming behind the rest of us!" haha
hahaha wouldn't that be sad? Or funny. Maybe Lainey should have considered life jackets.... Hmmm....
Anyways. "When you finish your vessel, get EVERYONE on your team onto your creation. Jump around on it. If it doesn't fall apart, you're ready to sail! We'll sail as a class though, so no one jump off yet!"
Whaaaaaaaat?
What was the Professor going on about and WHO is this Captain Crunch person? Destiny's eyes flickered to almost everyone trying to find someone with a name tag that said Captain Crunch. No one. No one had on a name tag!
She gave the Professor a salute, before glancing down at the very hard working Mina. She seemed to have EVERYTHING under control with the sail. "Are you going to need any help?" she asked, not wanting the Ravenclaw to think she w s making her do ALL the work alone.
But if she wanted to do it all on her own, Destiny wouldn't stop her.
"How is the raft coming along?" she called out to her worker ants crew.
Captain business and all that jazz.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Kylie Jayde Matthews (Kylie or K-J)
Fourth Year
Kylie was getting a little flustered. The group was going slowly. And everyone was bringing out rope. And she didn't like the idea of rope. Magic was MUCH stronger than rope, being someone who used to sail, she knew.
She went over to Captain Crun--Destiny and spoke JUST to her, no one else would hear. She was almost whispering. "Destiny, make Carter use magic to bond the logs. I'll help finish the sail. Make sure Marie, Patroclus, AND Evie use a magic bond on the logs too. No way they'll come undone. PLEEEEASE." She made big puppy dog eyes before picking up Destiny's duck and holding her wand to it. She fixed the holes and manually blew air into it.
She held it out to Destiny, all fixed and good as new, hoping that she would take her frustrated advice.
She then proceeded to go over to help Mina with the sail. "Hi. We haven't really talked in a while. Hows it going?" She said while making sure the sail that had already been cut didn't have any holes and stuff in it.

Pulling the tape until it reached the 9 feet mark she grabbed her wand and made a slight cut on the right measurement. Setting it down, she aimed her wand more intently this time, with the purpose of cutting through the wood cleanly.
"Diffindo!"
It took a few times but eventually the spell cut straight through leaving her with the task of using the spell mildly a few times to leave a sort of blunt tip for what she hoped would be the front of the boat.
"There we go.." She said smiling, glad at their progress. Eying the root -less trunk, she brought up her wand again."Now we can both take turns gouging out the hollow area..."
And so began the tedious task of casting Defodio again and again until there was enough room so that they could both sit comfortably.
"I know right? I'm gonna cut off all the roots and and branches while you.....measure stuff." She giggled, glad her friend was making sure things were even.
As Ivory continued to measure and make holes in the tree trunk, she continued to magicaly cut off the any limbs that were on their boat. Then she smoothed out the sides and bottom of the tree trunk so that thier boat would run smoothly in the lake.
When done with that, she began gouging out the hollow areas with Ivory, making sure that they both would have enough room to sit comfortably. Which turned out to be an easy task since they were both so small.
"Done!" She said as she added a few more holes for the sails. Aiming her wand at the supplies they were given, she levitated over the things needed for making a sail.
Arya pieced together the canvas and lumber before sticking them into the holes at the front of thier boat. Then she levitated two oars and beach chairs for them to sit on in the boat. "Do we need anything else?" She asked her best friend as she stuck the chairs into the inside of the boat.

Mina looked up as she heard Destiny and nodded. "I think so, I need to thread the wood through the holes near the top," she explained. It hadn't even registered to her that she had kind of took over the sail making until now. She must have been really focused or something. It wasn't her intention to take it all over, but once the creative juices started to flow, she kind of lost her mind.
Standing up, she picked up narrow piece of wood and held it. "So, I was thinking the wood goes through these cuts and then we attach the wood to the mast thingy that Patroclus is making." she nodded as she moved her hands explaining what her vision was.
I sounded like a sound idea and being that their group was full of awesome and stuff, it was so going to work.

Things are good," she nodded as she reached for the rope and attached it to the bottom of the sail. Pulling her wand out, she bonded the rope and sail together. Giving it a tug, she smiled. Those ropes won't be going anywhere.
Looking back up at Kylie, she smiled. "How have things been going for you?" she asked. Last term, they hadn't really seen each other much, but then again second year was a blur to her still.
... and scratched her hairline with it. "Jacob. I worry for you. Have you been sniffing trees or something?" .......... "I'm going to need you do a few tests on your boat. Jumping jacks. Every corner. And pray it doesn't fall apart."
She worries for him?... well thats good, no one else did. Especially not himself. "tree sniffing?" who would sniff trees...
What?!?! Jacob's Raft... FALL APART?!?! He's never heard such nonsense. Jacob Helped the Pirate Academy build an enire Sea worthy, stronge Pirateing Vessel once. This was complete Craziness. 'Jacob's Boat Fall apart' his bum. No! He will not stand for this! Jacob was born at sea. He lived at sea for the first 10 years of his life. He carried a broad sword from the age of 8! He wrecked cargo ships, and stole their booty! And Lainey says to 'pray it won't fall apart' This was nonsense!
But like the good boy he is Jacob Dropped the oar and got on his raft... This was crazy, who heard of a pirate who had to do Jumping Jacks on his vessel to check if it was good enough! Jacob started doing jumping jacks on each half log... SEE! Jacob can make a raft!
Carson just stood there in and zoned out. His wrist was attached to hers and she was trying to get it unattached. She did have a good point though. Know he'd HAVE to save her little firstie butt if he could. Without warning he was dragged back and forth while Daisy started pacing. "So..? How are we gonna make the boat move and how are we going to work this out?" He asked lifting his wrist which moved hers.
Daisy jerked her wrist which only cuased him to stumble a bit. "I don't know. I'm a first year shouldn't YOU have all the answers to this being a second year?" She paced back and forth again and in the middle of her turn around she tripped over her own two feet and fell. Carson went down with her and she sighed blowing her hair out of her eyes. "This never would've happened if I had just kept a quiet non attention drawing first year. I don't want to be like my aunt's." She wanted to wrap her arms around her knees but she had an attachment on her wrist that prevented her from doing so.

"Don't get all snappy with me,"he said being strung along with her pacing. "Your the one that wants to skip ahead and being smarter than what you relly are. How about you tell me what the second year charms book suggests?" He went down with her as she fell and watched as she cried out that she didn't want to be like the rest of her family. God she was so bipoalrly emtionaly unstabled. "Look you won't be like your aunts. It's your life you control it." He pulled her up and looked her in her eyes. "You will be you. you don't have to live up to anyones expectations but your own. You need to take a deep breath and found out who YOU are not who your aunts were."

Nia was oblivious now to all the boat building around her. She was too focused on her own vessel. Which now had a rather nicely shaped base, it had it be said. And so with that sorted, she pushed it over to start scooping out the middle.
It was at this point, Nia realised a) what a hard task she faced, and b) how narrow her boat was. As in too narrow for her to sit in without getting stuck. She needed to leave herself a bench kind of thing. And maybe some floating stabilising logs, so she wouldn't risk rolling out. Ahem.
Hands on her hips, she leant back and sighed. But then figured it would be far more productive to hollow out her boat so she could get off the shore. And so, that was exaclty what she did. Boat hollowing.
"Don't get all snappy with me,"he said being strung along with her pacing. "Your the one that wants to skip ahead and being smarter than what you relly are. How about you tell me what the second year charms book suggests?" He went down with her as she fell and watched as she cried out that she didn't want to be like the rest of her family. God she was so bipoalrly emtionaly unstabled. "Look you won't be like your aunts. It's your life you control it." He pulled her up and looked her in her eyes. "You will be you. you don't have to live up to anyones expectations but your own. You need to take a deep breath and found out who YOU are not who your aunts were."
"Well you know what how about YOU tell ME what it said. Or did you not even pick it up to read?" She was taking her confusion and anger out on him. Then she felt him pick her up and heard him say her life was hers and not her aunts. "It's not that simple. I wish it was, but it's not." She shook and ran her unboud hand through her long black hair. She took a deep breath. "We'll power the boat via man power. We have oars and well one hand each. I'll work it out in my head." They were both bound on one wrist and that left one free empty hand. If they sat back to back the oars will be on the same side. Not really helpful. If they sat facing each other again same problem. Actually rowing would be the major problem. They only had ONE hand.
"You know what maybe a magic powered oar will work." She smiled and pulled out her wand. She was right handed but had to use her left and it was a good thing she has broken her wrist when she was younger and been able to learn to use her left. "Wingardium Leviosa." She levitated the oar to the water to test this attempt. "Locomotor oar," she said and the oar began moving. She smiled a small smile at Carson, "Finite," She said causing the oar to stop and splash both of them with water. Good thing she had on her bathing suit. "There we can do that to get across the lake." She walked to the edge of the water and grabbed the oar out of it."Agreed?"

Carson let her go at it and watched at she lashed out at him. When she said it wasn't simple he didn't argue with her. She ws probably right. What did he know about her other than her darkest secret. Then she began working out how to move the boat. He watched as she worked it all out and she even said the spells needed. Then with a splash he was hit with water as she stopped the oar. He nodded. "It's agreed then. That's how we will power the boat." He stood there and stared at her. She was pretty smart. "I'm sorry I got mad at you. Your stressing as much as me. I had no right. I don't know what came over me. Maybe it was the Slytherin thing." He smiled crookedly at her. "Forgive me?"

Daisy took a deep breath and placed the oars in the boat using her wand. It was an easy solution. She looked at hi in disbelief as he apologized to her. "If anyone should say sorry it's me. You have nothing to be forgiven of. You wer're the on who was concerned with the boats power. Not me. I'm sorry." She smiled. "I guess it was just my Gryffindor bravery taking over. I'm brave enough to anger a Slytherin." She smiled and laughed breaking the tension. "Forgive me?"

"What do you mean, what do I think? I think all sorts of things! That's a personal question! I won't say a word without my lawyer present!!!!"
..
Well. She wouldn't. Though Lainey probably needed a lawyer first... Particularly when planning to sail an entire class over a very dangerous lake. Oh WELLS. "Simon, did you test for leaks? Balance? Do as the others, my boy, and show me some jumping jacks at all corners of your vessel!"
Simon laughed at the Professor. "Professor I want too know." Simon said as he jumped on his boat. "I know what I am doing." Simon was having fun, suddenly he realised something. "Professor why won't you say anything without your lawyer present?" Simon suddenly asked, "If I fall in can I speak too your lawyer?" Simon smiled he was wondering what would happen if he fell into the pond, surely he would have the right to complain.
Simon looked at the Professor and then started to sing whilest he jumped all around his little boat. "See Professor, this boat is fit for a pop concert." Simon smiled as he waited to see what would happen next.
That was a nice raft. "Well paint me blue and call me Winnifred! Go move my lawn chair to your boat, Becca Parker. Do some jumping jacks on that raft, too. Wave test or something. But that looks GOOD. Crazy good. You're clearly one of mine." CHUFF CHUFF CHUFF.
"STUDENTS and SAILORS.... and PIRATES," 'cause there were a few of those now, "we have need to sail before sunset! So finish up, my dear ones, or you'll be swimming behind the rest of us!" haha
hahaha wouldn't that be sad? Or funny. Maybe Lainey should have considered life jackets.... Hmmm....
Anyways. "When you finish your vessel, get EVERYONE on your team onto your creation. Jump around on it. If it doesn't fall apart, you're ready to sail! We'll sail as a class though, so no one jump off yet!"
ooc: Touz has company for the 4th of July weekend. I will be uber busy through Monday. So, this evening before I sign off, I'm going to let you all SAIL across the Lake. You can RP your hearts out, sailing, getting from one shore to the other in whatever creative (but feasible) way you wish. I'll have more instructions later, but I wanted to let you KNOW the plan. =) Finish up building your vessel while I go run errands, and we'll start sailing tonight (roughly 6...7..8 hours or something).
Becca's face was so predominantly covered in a grin that her face was ready to fall off. SHE TOTALLY WON! "You got it!" First, Becca pointed her wand at the raft. "Wingardium Leviosa!" Very carefully, she guided her snazzy-looking raft over to the edge of the lake. Upon setting it down in the water, she hopped onto the raft.
"1! 2! 3!" she counted with each jumping jack she did, bouncing around the perimeter of her raft. "... 23 ... 24 ... !!!" And then her jumping jacks formed into a victory dance right in the middle. "WOOOO!" After she finished celebrating, she looked around at the raft. It was perfectly afloat, the sail was staying up, and it screamed Ravenclaw power!
And then, best of all, the lawn chair! Becca hopped off the raft and pulled the bottom of it onto the shore so it wouldn't float away, then headed down the shoreline to get the lawn chair. Despite her excitement, she didn't run, nor did she even jog - she walked with ZERO emotion on her face. Of course, her thoughts were somewhere along the lines of "BOOOOYAH!" but people kind of liked her these days. She wasn't going to lose that at the end of her Hogwarts career. So, with a completely calm expression on her face, Becca carried the lawn chair back to her raft.

Ever since History of Magic with Professor Truebridge... yeah. He'd been very anti-love potions. They were crazy-making.
"We... should... probably get back to work." Before Legend and Chez decided to kill each other or something, who knew what they were up to now. Rubbing the back of his head, completely nonplussed, the prefect turned and wandered back toward their group.
Lainey had confused him. Brinkley blinked as he stood still until Raiden spoke to him, or in his vicinity. Hasselhof couldn't blame him for having an aversion to Love Potions. Love, on its own, was terribly frightening. Brink couldn't imagine what instant love would do to a person.
Back with their group, Brinkley eyed the ark's progress. "Looks like Chosen and Chez have been keeping busy," drawled the Gryffindor, rubbing his shoulder. "We're going to need some kind of plank for our mast," guessed Brink, finding his wand. "Then we can...use some cloth, or my robes for the sail. I suppose."

Mina smiled as she heard Kylie. Yes, the two of them hadn't talked in what felt like forever. "Hi, Kylie. Things are good," she nodded as she reached for the rope and attached it to the bottom of the sail. Pulling her wand out, she bonded the rope and sail together. Giving it a tug, she smiled. Those ropes won't be going anywhere.
Looking back up at Kylie, she smiled. "How have things been going for you?" she asked. Last term, they hadn't really seen each other much, but then again second year was a blur to her still.
Kylie realized this was the main sail and they had no way to control going left or right with their particular ship. They were going to need a rudder. Or jibs. Or jib sails AND a rudder. "Er... do you think we should make jib sails? A rudder?" She asked to anyone who happened to be listening.
She looked back at Mina, "It's been good! I was in and out a lot of second year traveling... So I lost touch with a lot of people." She hoped Mina hadn't taken the distance personally. It really had been with just about EVERYBODY. But, then again, she'd learned a lot more from her travels than she did from what she attended of her classes.

And then they assembled themselves on the ground next to the other planks. They glued themselves together. Soon they had a nice base for a sturdy ship.
Abbi's eyes rounded as pieces of wood started piling up, see that's why she was glad she asked a boy to help her. They knew their stuff. "Wow" she sighed when he started gluing stuff fast, way faster than her. With magic. That was just... indescribable. She continued to glue wood since well she didn't want to break their work with her very perfect spell casting. Ahem.
As the Professor spoke she looked at Dilly, "oh looks like we'll make it" she grinned, they were almost there. Almost.

He smiled as he performed his magic. He had gotten his wand in a special ceremony when he was six years old and even though he wasn't much of a student he was a great wizard in the making. Especially with charms.
He looked at Abbi as she went to task still gluing by hand. He let loose a little chuckle. "You can help too," he offered to Abbi gently. Even if she messed up it was fun trying at least. He continued gluing the hull together making it at least 4 meters highs. So they could have a nice big deck to walk across. And he really wanted a mast with a crow's nest on top. "Yeah I think we will make it too," he commented as he kept working.

He looked at Abbi as she went to task still gluing by hand. He let loose a little chuckle. "You can help too," he offered to Abbi gently. Even if she messed up it was fun trying at least. He continued gluing the hull together making it at least 4 meters highs. So they could have a nice big deck to walk across. And he really wanted a mast with a crow's nest on top. "Yeah I think we will make it too," he commented as he kept working.
"Oh no" she shook her head in full confidence, "I'm afraid i'd damage what we made so far. Let me practice at the very end" or preferably tomorrow when the boat slash spaceship was in no use. "I like what you did with it so far" she giggled pointing at the hull, "looks like a pirates' ship".

Patroclus cried "Diffindo" one last time, and then turned to Evie? - kylie and her nicknames! - "I think we are done," he counted all their split logs " Yep perfect!"
With a swish and flick of his wand he started to levitate their logs over to where Carter as binding the bask together with rope, hearing Kylie plead for Carter to use Magic, Patroclus butted in, "I think we should use ope, as Carter is doing, and then we will reinforce with magic, because if we are lucky we can have this raft for a long time!" Patroclus pictured them all in his head as grandparents sitting on the raft in the center of the Lake, funny!
Patroclus watched on as Marie calmed Cap'n Destiny and First Mate Evelyn down, the purple headed kid, had done that on purpose, it was clear evident. But as a true Captain should Destiny got back to work, and Patroclus couldn't help but be impressed with hers and Mina's fine work on the sail.
The Sail! Gah! He need to make the Mast.
Dropping his log, he sprinted back to where the lumber was and selected two strong, but thin logs, and got to work on putting the mast together. Wiping the sweat from his brow, Patroclus stood up and marvelled at his Mast, Wow, I impress even myself!
"Mina, Cap'n I have the mast ready for you!" There were almost down, they only had to point all the pieces together, it was like a large puzzle!

She went over to Captain Crun--Destiny and spoke JUST to her, no one else would hear. She was almost whispering. "Destiny, make Carter use magic to bond the logs. I'll help finish the sail. Make sure Marie, Patroclus, AND Evie use a magic bond on the logs too. No way they'll come undone. PLEEEEASE." She made big puppy dog eyes before picking up Destiny's duck and holding her wand to it. She fixed the holes and manually blew air into it.
She held it out to Destiny, all fixed and good as new, hoping that she would take her frustrated advice.
She then proceeded to go over to help Mina with the sail. "Hi. We haven't really talked in a while. Hows it going?" She said while making sure the sail that had already been cut didn't have any holes and stuff in it.
Still ANGRY and upset over her DEAD duck, Destiny hardly noticed Kylie come closer to her until she was whispering into her ear. This Captain business was hard work, especially when she had to make all her crew members happy.
Right.
Now it was time to make Kylie happy. She nodded her head in understanding, and putting her FIXED duck floatie back on, walked over to where the raft was being built. She didn't know why they needed magic AND ropes, but the more the better, right? Ehhh. "Hey guys, why don't we use magic too! Just in case the ropes don't hold. You know, it'll be safer and all." She shot a glance towards Kylie.
It was HER idea!
SPOILER!!: Kylie & Mina working on the sail!

It hadn't even registered to her that she had kind of took over the sail making until now. She must have been really focused or something. It wasn't her intention to take it all over, but once the creative juices started to flow, she kind of lost her mind.
Standing up, she picked up narrow piece of wood and held it. "So, I was thinking the wood goes through these cuts and then we attach the wood to the mast thingy that Patroclus is making." she nodded as she moved her hands explaining what her vision was.
I sounded like a sound idea and being that their group was full of awesome and stuff, it was so going to work.

She looked back at Mina, "It's been good! I was in and out a lot of second year traveling... So I lost touch with a lot of people." She hoped Mina hadn't taken the distance personally. It really had been with just about EVERYBODY. But, then again, she'd learned a lot more from her travels than she did from what she attended of her classes.
Destiny shot Kylie another glance. What was the Huffie going on about, rudder and jibs, huuuuuh?
It was probably a good idea that Kylie came to help with the sail, since she knew what she was talking about. Unless she was LYING and was making up those words..nah! Kylie wouldn't do that!
Would she?
"How exactly do we make a rudder and jibs..or whatever they are called."
SPOILER!!: Patroclus

"I hope we get to swim!" Merlin, he was hot.....
And Patroclus..he was EVERYWHERE!
Destiny should have handed over her Captaincy to him, since he was doing a better job than she was. Well, maybe she wouldn't give up her Captaincy, he could be like second in command..in case Destiny went over board, he would be the one to take over the crew.
"Hey, Patroclus! Good job, buddy!" she adjusted her duck floatie before giving the boy a salute. "Now we can start putting this thing together!"
And then they could sail away!

Kylie hoped no one wouldn't mind using ropes. Of course they could if everyone wanted to! She wouldn't deny them that! She just figured it'd be a faster ship if they didn't use them.. Plus they were running out of time and ropes would take a while.
Jibs would take too long too. Kylie was about to make the rudder, when she again realized they had magic. Derp. They could direct it with the magic. MAGICSKILZZZ.
"Mina.. do you wanna attach the sail to the mast? The honor of the sail. Lady Sail. It's all you!" She'd done most of the sail work anyway, it would only make sense if she did.
