"Thanks Dilly" she hugged the Slytherin, which she was sure her house mates would frown down on her for but hey the lad didn't toss her off the boat halfway across and to add to his goodness he called the boat the sneaky lion! That alone put Dilly Dil Dil in her top 10 favorite students at Hogwarts. Stepping back she grinned up at him, "it was really fun working with you in a project, and i've learned a lot from you!-". She broke off half-way when she caught his look towards the Ravenclaw, heavens students took competition here very seriously, she wouldn't have minded coming in last place, she'd be learning more than them anyway, because she had the opportunity to fail.
She didn't want to get involved with the rivelary thing, well because she wouldn't be able to fend for herself. So she descended the ladder before Dilly so he'd save her if she... something happened. Which thankfully did not as she made it to shore and looked behind at other boats that were arriving, this was fun. Now how do they go back? She scratched her head. So she stalked Dilly's shadow around the shore. Big Brother.
His eyes water at the strength of Abbi's hug. She was strong little girl for a Gryffindor.
"No problem Abbi. It was really fun working with you." he told her honestly. She always made everything interesting. He watched some of the other ships docking and wet students climbing off. It really had been a fun lesson. Loads better than the last one. He smiled down at her.
"Well you teach me something new every time we talk so I call us square," he told her as he gave her another hug. He could see him and Abbi being really good friends. She was strange enough not to find the weird things he did strange.
He walked around the shore noting that Abbi was following him. It reminded him of his little brothers following after him, and it made him feel good and he cracked a smile as he lead her over to Lainey and the rest of the students trying to dry off.

Becca shot DAGGERS at Diggy. Becca had just been messing around, having some friendly competition during History of Magic! It was a pointless race in her eyes, one that didn't really matter and was just for the heck of it. But GREENWOOD just HAD to go and bring the serious matter of Quidditch into it. The topic that had her beating herself up for OVER A WEEK.
Her fist immediately clenched into a tight ball. Her knuckles turned white, her eyebrows lowered, her eyes narrowed, and she jumped to her feet, all right there while Lainey was talking. Instead of jumping at him or sitting back down and glaring at him, Becca walked away from the group to go cool off. As angry as she was, the dominant emotion was more related to her pride than Diggy. She was SO mad at herself. And JD. And Nia. They should have won.
Not more than a few minutes later, everyone stood up, signifying that class was over. Actually, Lainey was even the first one to stand up and leave. It seemed like she really wanted to get out of there. With her head not held nearly as high as it usually was, Becca avoided eye contact with Diggy and followed Lainey back up to Hogwarts, not saying a word.
Well, she had started it!
He was rather shocked at the ferocity of Becca's gaze and it took all his will power to keep looking at her. He however backed off when Becca jumped up with her fists clenched like she as going to pound Diggy. He remembered that look from his sister when she was about to hex him or hit him with her wand.
It was a friendly boat race and Becca had to go and poke everyone painfully with the house pride thing. Like a Slytherin would have let her get away with that dig and now she was upset because Diggy happened to have gotten in a rather good dig. He watched her stalk away from the lake. He was going to have to watch her. She looked like the sort to catch him alone in a dark corridor and beat him up or something. And she was taller and no doubt stronger than he was.
Well the lesson was over, so he looked back at Abbi, shrugged and headed back towards the castle.
