What a nasty looking ship. That was probably everyone's thoughts when they first saw it. Or at least that's what Elise hoped they were anyway. It certainly was the ugliest thing her blue eyes had ever seen, that was for sure. Why was it there though? People were actually in it and that didn't exactly set well with Elise. It looked too old for anyone to have any business in. What if someone fell below? What if someone actually fell into the lake. She took off her sunglasses and looked around at her new classmates.

She was only thirteen and she wasn't sure how to handle being at Hogwarts, especially since the school she had previously attended was an all girl school. Never again, her mom said, after Elise had been sent home for "disturbing the classroom." It wasn't exactly her fault that another girl stuck a toad in her cauldron and caused her potion to blow up now was it? "Hmph. What is this old thing even here for? Do people climb in it or something?" She wasn't sure why she was talking out loud. Probably because she liked the sound of her own voice.
