Of course, it would be best to assume he couldn't, but how hard would it be to float, at least. Maybe the ship had those small lifeboats just in case, and they could use those.
No exams? That didn't sound very bad. Eino really wasn't in the mood to study lately, but then again he had to do a lot of it. On the good side, he didn't have to take any of the exams, so it really didn't affect him directly. "Oh well, he sounds very nice." He did appreciate music after all. Eino was a little sad he had missed the musical introductions, that would have been very fun. And who didn't like Santa Clause? This man sounded like an angel. A fat angel. Transfiguration class sounded fun, too, and Eino was now even sadder he had missed that. So far, all of these ministry officers sounded like a great addition to the Hogwarts faculty. "Is there a reason why they are here?" Were there no candidates for the jobs? Why would the ministry want to teach classes anyway? And why would exams be cancelled?
Kurumi eyed Eino when he said he wasn't sure if he could swim or not. If he could swim as well as Faustus could fly, then they were in serious trouble. She was a fair enough swimmer, and she supposed that IF the situation called for it, she could carry him back to the shore without drowning either of them. "
Well, I am sure it won't come to that," she giggled nervously.
Kurumi shrugged her shoulders again. "I
am not sure...but Lord Borr is the new Minister of Magic and father said that they abolished the Department of Magical Education, so I guess that is why they are here? To observe..." Kurumi didn't have any idea either, but it sure seemed like her father was dead set on writing about them for the Prophet. "
So...shall we actually get on board?" Perhaps start singing that one song about pirates that had something about really bad eggs?
