Very strange.

There was a mystery to be solved here. But it could wait until later. First step was actually getting the boy to look at her again. It would be hard to be friends if he could never look her in the eye. Of course, maybe that would also be hilarious because by seventh year he might have forgotten what she looked like.

Now he was wheezing, she raised an eyebrow at his response that he wasn't sick. Maybe he was just one of those guys. "It's actually really nice in the water, you should try going in sometime." Because it was actually magnificent if she did say so herself. Though you did have to be slightly aware of lake monsters....

"How are you liking Gryffindor?" the red tie suited him, but she was still... disappointed that they weren't in the same house. It would have made all of their planning much simpler if they could just do it in the common room. And also the cheering for her during Quidditch when she got onto the team.

If she tried out every year they'd have to accept her eventually.
In the water?

Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no. No.

"Water?" he echoed dumbly, firmly shaking his head. "I-I can't even-" Whatever forces helped people float like Shera just did moments earlier... they didn't work on him. "Nuh-uh. And there's-there's grindylows, and the Giant Squid! And Merlin knows what else." There was no way he was getting in that lake.

When she'd asked him how he liked Gryffindor, he unconsciously tugged on the ends of the red tie he'd loosened around his neck, choosing to focus on it instead of their feet. "It was-unexpected, don't you think?" She didn't even have to know him very well to know he wasn't the bravest lion there's ever been. "But everyone's been so nice and welcoming that I can't help but love it." Even though everyone was loud and bright and cheery and everything he was not.

"What's Ravenclaw like?" he asked with a smile, finally looking at Shera... until he realized that she was still only in her bathing suit, and focused back on his tie like it was the most interesting thing in the world.
